Yep, that's what the American people clearly communicated last week about the Iran War. They want the Trump admin to "continue to do what we do now."
In an interview that aired today, the Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei threatened to strike U.S. bases in Europe if American aircraft take off from them to bomb Iran. I wrote about this danger last week, citing @SinaToossi and other experts.

Obviously fake but somehow people are falling for it. Media literacy / critical thinking are skills in short supply.
You might not want to take Bernie too seriously on tech issues.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The shared image is a fabricated Washington Post clipping. Bernie Sanders was mayor of Burlington until 1989, first elected to the House in 1990 and never a senator then; no record exists of him calling to ban the Internet.

Wow
Robert Kagan: “Iran does not have the capability to strike American territory, and Trump's FP should be focused on national security: I don’t see how Iran threatens those interests..." [The war] "has been conducted essentially in Israel’s interest.” foglioeuropeo.ilfoglio.it/en…
President Donald Trump said Monday that a U.S. escalation is “unlikely” and the war is “effectively over” militarily. Antiwar voices breathed sighs of relief, and oil prices continued to plunge...
But there’s a big problem.

The problem with the "third way" is the more successful it is the more likely it leads back to war.
Trump swung between war and diplomacy — then chose a third way. My story on @axios

Love the way @WeTheBrandon says “THESE PSYCHOTICS!” in this clip 😂
Tune in at 6 PM to hear Mark Levin talk about how hard it’s getting to access his AOL email
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.
Would be political malpractice for Dems not to use Dec. 11 gov't funding deadline to force a showdown over Iran War. Yes, they'd be spending political capital, but 1) they have a lot of it, 2) they'd be fighting against war voters rejected, 3) the alternative is funding that war.
Rubio understands something Trump does not: The economic pressure campaign isn't "status quo" since the pressure grows. The danger for U.S. interests is that the campaign makes Iran lash out, rather than back down, which Iran experts told me is likely. theamericanconservative.com/…
SECRETARY RUBIO: The economic pain that is being inflicted on Iran right now, on that regime, is extraordinary. It compounds, it's growing every day. These sanctions get worse over time, they get more painful as time goes on. It's all brought about by the fact that this radical regime of lunatics is imposing this on their own people. They're destroying their own country.
I wonder if the thought has ever occurred to Kushner or Witkoff, “You know, I’m not exactly an expert on Iran’s nuclear program or the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and human lives are at stake, so I should probably not lead either diplomatic process.”
🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Jared Kushner on Russia-Ukraine talks:
"We're seeing positive signs from both sides, that they want to see an end to this horrible war.
Nothing would make President Trump happier... we're optimistic going into these talks."
The Midterms may have already been lost, but if Trump can still manage to end the wars in Ukraine and Iran, it would mean a lot for his legacy as POTUS.
And maybe help out Republicans going into 2028.

That’s the “dual loyalty” trope! Arrest this man for antisemitism!
"It's a great thing to be patriots in two countries," Mark Levin tells GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson while speaking before the Republican Jewish Coalition in 2021.
"It's absolutely fantastic!"
"I want to thank the Adelsons for everything that they have done in two countries," Levin says, referring to Israel and America. "Patriots in two countries!"
Iran War Day 256 (this has lasted longer than we were promised, hasn't it?)
Trump said military escalation "unlikely." Monday brought more evidence the war doomed GOP candidates. And average gas prices fell below $4 for first time since July. @amconmag

Could have skipped this whole stupid debate about whether the GOP lost because of the Iran War if everyone had just read this piece from September on why the GOP would lose because of the Iran War.

Certainly possible that by end of Trump's second term not only will the U.S. still be fighting Iran but we will be fighting Hamas in Gaza.
"The Israeli government has authorized the US to deploy an initial multinational force of approximately 250 foreign troops in Gaza, security officials told Walla on Monday." Umm... what?
(Jerusalem Post, today)
"Meanwhile, the US military continues to transfer vehicles and equipment to a special base near the Gaza border, within the area of responsibility of the IDF Gaza Division's Southern Brigade....
"The facility was originally an IDF base before being handed over to the US. Guard towers have since been erected, surveillance and lighting systems installed, and the perimeter fence renovated. Armed US troops now secure the base around the clock."

U.S. in recent decades has mirrored Britain but not Europe. Blair/Bush were on the same page re Iraq while Europe was much less on board. Brexit/Trump while European liberal center held. Now post-woke-1 soft socialist backlash while right-populists surge in Europe.
The problem with national E-Verify is it would work too well, so Big Business opposes it. So the Trump admin wound up surging ICE into blue cities / border communities & sending migrants to a terrorist detention facility in El Salvador. The right should learn to love technocracy.
Bit harsh but this also annoyed me. Douthat basically treated "a little taste of war but not the full menu" as the default reasonable course of action. How about: The JCPOA had Iran's nuclear program in a box. Why did you destroy the box and then bomb Iran twice amid talks?
.@Douthat60 Absolute journalistic malpractice. I don't know what you believe. But I know for a fact that you have no reason to believe that Iran had broken out toward a nuclear weapon early this year. They hadn't in 2025, when Trump bombed the crap out of Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, taking all three off line. And as you must know, Trump has not targeted Iran's nuclear facilities at all _this_ year, because their civilian program was effectively suspended by the war last year.
Then you sit there and let him claim he started this aggressive, murderous war to stop Iran from "getting" a nuclear weapon, and you ask no follow up question whatsoever about it.
I can see why Bari Weiss has faith in you, but why should anyone else respect your "journalism" when you would lie so obviously by such a massive omission?
