The military budget is $217 billion higher than it was a decade ago (after adjusting for inflation).
A significant chunk of that money comes from OBBBA & is still unused and earmarked for things Trump is likely to ask for in the supp. For the rest, there's flexibility to move some funds around.
This is unconstitutional AF.
The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahu’s war. The truth? It was $3 billion…and that’s just for munitions.
Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.
Lindsey Graham is a great reason why there should be term limits.
This guy has been shilling for every war for nearly 25 years.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Suicides increased fivefold when adolescents on the waitlist were told they would be permanently waitlisted.
45 kids and untold relatives of these kids are now grieving.
And still they are like, but wait, we don't have enough evidence.
That's what they call an Epstienian slip
“What is happening now is the administration is making new policy, but then insisting that the new policy take effect immediately before a challenge about its lawfulness is determined,” Jackson said. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas — immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
"If I did not hit them 1st then they would have hit our allies 1st" so Trump admits America was not under immediate threat from Iran?
Doesn't sound like America 1st to me
This seems pretty bad for the environment.
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
Our tax dollars are paying for this horror.

The Trump administration is treating disabled veterans like criminals.
Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social calls out ogles
When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
Last year, Live Nation donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund.
This is an excellent point by Murphy
You want to support the troops?
Then don’t give Donald Trump the money he needs to send them to die in an illegal war that he started to cover up his connection to Epstein
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
Screenshot of an X post by Really American claiming Republican Congressman Mark Alford said Americans must “sacrifice” by accepting higher gas prices to support Trump’s war with Iran. Below is a split-screen TV news segment with a female anchor on the left, a male reporter in the middle, and Congressman Alford on the right. A banner reads “BREAKING NEWS: CRUDE OIL PRICES HIT NEW HIGHS AMID WAR.”
The American people have sacrificed enough. Stop the war. Tax the billionaires.
The SAVE Act could block millions of Americans from registering to vote by requiring documents many people don’t have.
Voter fraud is already extremely rare, but the burden would fall hardest on rural residents, seniors, working families, & married women whose names have changed.
To any Americans stuck abroad right now, I will keep fighting until every one of you is safely back home.
Please use my office as a resource for travel assistance and updated advisories. I know this is a scary, uncertain situation. I will keep you updated with info as I get it.
So not only have the US and Israel been bombing oil depots and above ground tanks, they have been destroying desalination plants? The humanitarian crisis is about to increase exponentially.
Where will the world hold the war crime trials for the Tmrup and Netanyahu regimes?
Markwayne Mullin’s views on the value of life stop at the birth canal.
“In Oklahoma, we’re not going to be killing babies.”
Oklahoma ranks near the bottom in maternal care, infant mortality, healthcare, and education. For Markwayne, once the baby is born, they’re on their own.
Bombed a school & then, 30 mins later, bombed it again—ensuring any kids who survived & any rescue workers would be killed
“People were pulling out children’s arms and legs. People were pulling out severed heads”
One of the worst war crimes in modern history.
It was a school—not an IRGC base.
"The fact that there were only four countries with confirmed US ambassadors - out of the 14 countries told to evacuate American citizens after the war began - tells you all you need to know about this administration’s incompetence and lack of professionalism."
