Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could:
-Extend ACA subsidies for one year
-Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people
-And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people
It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.
should've waited to pull video from my camera (not my phone), as it picks up more than just the shrimp closest to the surface. They're pretty mesmerizing to watch, I can see why people raise related brine shrimp (sea monkeys) for fun!
One of the interesting findings from surveys we did in Southeast Asia a few years ago, was that gamers were starting to shift some of their spending away from video games and towards gambling platforms.
Part of it was due to stuff like this, where it is becoming normalized in influencer circles
I miss Obama.
Exclusive: Since the war began, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft.
The assistance signals that the conflict now features one of America’s chief nuclear-armed competitors. https://wapo.st/47vAwD9
Added context: Nintendo is not alone. Other companies that have sued over Trump's tariffs recently include FedEx, UPS, Barnes & Noble, Costco, Revlon, Prada, Staples...
In terms of gaming companies, I haven't seen others

I look forward to companies being refunded for the taxes I paid for them which will likely result in an increase in taxes for me so that the government can afford to pay for the refund after they already spent the money blowing up Iran.
Even the good thing happening is bad. yay.

R.O.B. leaving me his number.

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.
It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

All while prices in everyday spending categories like food (and now gas) continue to soar higher.
Not great.
For gaming, expect to see f2p, subs and the big live service games continue to take more share.

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.
