A budget is a moral document.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the โMiddle East."

US Central Command (CENTCOM) is preparing for the war to last until September 2026. #Iran
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donโt create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people โ and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, theyโre under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
MASSIE: โIran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leaderโฆ ๐บ๐ธ & ๐ฎ๐ฑ turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 ๐บ๐ธ families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.โ
Butโฆbutโฆbutโฆ.
Biden did it We lost 92,000 jobs in Feb, & the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. Stock market is no longer above 50,000 & since Feb 2025 Trumpโs has added only about 200k jobs. Bidenโs 1st yr=+6.7 million jobs
Politico has confirmed two things from CENTCOM.
1. Trump has no plan for how to end this war (that actually might be the plan).
2. Even if we started scaling back today, the military won't be able to withdraw from Iran until September 2026.
Note: No clear objective has been declared.

I do remember the assault on the humanities starting in the 1990s on college campuses and in public schools. I didnโt realize its origin was rooted in eugenics. What a sad commentary that an illiterate like Epstein could get brilliant minds to believe such Nazi-inspired trash.
Read @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social on the "intellectually insecure reactionaries" around Epstein. Much here that I did not know

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.
Today the House votes on the War Powers Resolution. I will vote YES to limit U.S. military involvement in Iran.
My thoughts are with the families of the 6 American service members killed in Donald Trumpโs war of choice.
Congressโnot the Presidentโdecides when America goes to war.
He WANTS to release a nuke. Thatโs why he wouldnโt sign a renewed START treaty!
Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. Itโs the third payroll decline in the past five months.
๐Note: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.
@msnowreports.bsky.social justice covered it on @anacabrera.bsky.social โs program. @nytimes.com has a small story today. Basically we did it while striking a military target.
Donald Trump called this war. Pete Hegseth called this war. Where the fuck is Congress? They owe us, the American people, a war powers resolution. It is our family members that are fighting this war. It is our tax dollars that fund this war. The least they could do is vote.
Presumably her made up job gives her a real salary.
But Biden was the one asleep at the wheelโฆright. โSleepy Joeโ was the one really putting
#AmericaFirst. No new wars. Money for infrastructure, jobs and a greener future. #Biden had a plan. #Trump is just chaos. #Iran #affordability
This is not good.

Or they will rethink casting votes for Republicans in November.
Shades of Dorian Gray.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictโand 9000
miles from North Americaโmakes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
Unbelievable!
