It’s been more than a month since President Donald Trump declared a red line on Iran. But Trump’s choice amounts to this: He can either enforce his red line — however belatedly — or do something quite politically fraught. Those are three pretty strong rejections of Trump’s red line. And those numbers were especially striking because some of the same pollsters showed Americans were much more evenly split on Trump’s initial Iran strikes. We could find out in the coming days how serious Trump is about enforcing his red line on Iran.

That answer is “Tribalism.” Tribalism is endemic not just to the human species, but animal species as well. The same kind of tribal network runs families of birds, apes, families, communities, states, countries. One of my friends named in the Epstein files has always been known as a super-networker. “(Epstein’s) dinner parties were amazing,” she told me not long ago. My friends who were associated with Epstein were opportunistic, as tribal members are, and some have been pretty well Scarlet-lettered.

The Trump administration appears ready to launch an extended military assault on Iran, current and former U.S. officials said, as the Pentagon amasses an immense strike force in the Middle East despite the risks of U.S. combat fatalities and American ensnarement in an extended war.

Trump began pondering new strikes against Iran in January, after he pledged to rescue anti-government protesters there following a wave of executions.

Help us report on Texas ICE detention The Texas Tribune is continuing to report on the record deaths in the state’s immigrant detention facilities and the conditions inside. The expansion of ICE detention is “coupled with a dissolution of oversight, a reduction in detention standards, and draconian restrictions on releases,” said Claire Trickler-McNulty, a former senior ICE official during the last three administrations. “Deaths from staff violence are another level,” he said, calling them “preventable, and the result of training and supervision failures.”What about the other ICE detention deaths? Of the nine people who died in Texas ICE facilities since Trump’s second term, many were in their mid-forties. Civil lawsuits have revealed that detention officials at times destroyed relevant video footage that would aid investigations, he said.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGMS NOW host Joe Scarborough was visibly stunned Thursday to report U.K. authorities had arrested former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal title last year amid questions about his past connection to late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Prince Andrew has been arrested.”Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew on his 66th birthday on “suspicion of misconduct in public office,” which Scarborough applauded as a seeming example of justice — before slamming “morally bankrupt” Republican members of Congress for failing to follow suit. If somebody was hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein, there are consequences.”Scarborough continued, “No consequences here! This is your own base you’re ignoring.”Advertisement“And they’re protecting Republicans,” Scarborough said. That actually makes things worse for you, because you’re covering up for people who consorted with Jeffrey Epstein.

Clearly, there is a lot going on here. Weber: Yeah, I’ll chime in and say, I mean, I think public health officials have been horrified by his first year in office.
