So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

The reason we have β€œstupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

The real reason for Trump's Iran bombing Trump is nothing if not self-interested. His attack against Iran helps him and his party more than meets the eye.

"Trump doesn’t care about election interference. So why would he invoke Iran meddling in our election as he bombs the country? Put simply, he is trying to validate the claim that our elections are not secure as a pretext to usurp control of our elections in the name of national security.”

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

It's not to late to prevent much of the damage as long as we turn out the vote. When liberals and progressives vote, liberals and progressives win. It's that simple.
