Interesting choice of music. “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from Les Misérables was an anthem of the 2019 mass protests in Hong Kong. Separately, Trump loves Les Mis and watched it at the Kennedy Center last year.

The U.S. bases in Jordan are in the middle of nowhere, not surrounded by skyscrapers. This is an old video of the U.S. consulate in Dubai when it was hit by a drone.

USA TODAY is partnering with Palantir to de-anonymize & ID readers across 200 newspapers.
And turn them into "actionable intelligence."
That spy language from @USATODAY is a huge red flag.
I'm sure they are trying to stay profitable.
But media exists to hold power accountable.
Not to partner with defense intelligence contractors.
Or treat readers like intelligence targets.

Really good use of open source reporting, despite commercial satellite imagery limitations, by @AricToler and the @nytimes team looking at what damage U.S. military sites incurred during the conflict with Iran.

Important reporting from @malachybrowne .
Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. nytimes.com/2026/03/05/world…

This is the first official announcement of deaths and injuries of US troops in this war.
CENTCOM Update
TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.
Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.
The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

Commercial ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has slowed sharply. There's a 70% drop per @DimAmpatzidis, who analyzed @Kpler ship-tracking data. The majority of vessels had done U-turns, diverted to alternative routes or begun idling nearby. nytimes.com/2026/02/28/world…
