The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told thereβs no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Father, son, husband. Interests: politics & family. education will always be made political by republicans, they don't like it, it creates democrats. I care about reproductive rights because I care about women!

A judge just found that corporations are "entitled" to a refund for the Trump tariffs the Supreme Court overturned.
Really? The companies that passed their tariff costs onto us are "entitled" to compensation?
We are being stolen from.
Tax the rich. Tax corporations.

Sen. Murphy: They told us in there that this is an open-ended operation that hasn't even really started... they refuse to take off of the table the insertion of ground troops ... there is no question that this is war. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy
I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions weβre seeing from ICE.
The work continues.
Itβs looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"
Rep. Massie on Iran:
"The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader⦠The U.S. and Israel turned him into a martyr.
6 American families must now lay to rest their sons and daughters.
And for what?"
Basically, what the Department of Justice argued in court today was that RFK Jr. has the absolute authority to kill millions of people with impunity.
I do not exaggerate.
Rep. Thomas Massie has claimed that key members of his team were offered prestigious jobs in the Trump administration in an effort to stall legislation that would have forced the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files...
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenβand it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

Sen. Murphy: βThere will be more Americans killedβ¦They have contempt for the American people because they think that they can carry out the biggest war in the Middle East since Iraq and Afghanistan without a single vote.β
we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Republicans are desperate. The war in Iran is his excuse to remain in power and they are plotting to stay in power at all costs.

Every time the establishment tries to elevate a Trump toady like Marco Rubio as their lifeline to sanity, he runs off and does something like campaign for Orban or lie repeatedly about the Iran War justification. NOBODY who surrenders to Trump is normal. When will they learn?
Christian Nationalist Logic:
"We're gotta waste millions of dollars killing folks in a useless war because Jesus is powerless to just come back himself and start Armageddon if we don't. He needs our help, y'all! Glory!"
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
Just bc NYT isn't blatantly Right Wing--like Fox-- doesn't mean it isn't overall RWng--w some truth oriented reporting & some liberal columns thrown in for a smoke screen.
Fox's style wdn't work w NYT lib audience. So they do "both sides" reporting, are harsh to Dems only, & sane wash/excuse T/GOP.
Never forget this: Trump sent our sons and daughters to war, from the comfy confines of his country club. He didn't even have the decency to wear a suit and tie, or take off his golf hat. He probably went directly back to the course to finish the back nine..
DOJ lawyers misspelled βUnited Statesβ in their case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, listed AG Letitia Jamesβs address as βBrooklyn, New Jersey," and just last week, sued NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill, but misspelled her name.
