Sen. Martin Heinrich: βRemember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?
Now theyβre burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran Warβ
Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran.
While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.
Trump says he wonβt sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.
Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.
This is what the grifters occupying the executive branch are up to β encouraging & starting a war, then desperately building bomb shelters for themselves. Wow.
Read the report that Trump wanted to βkillββ¦link is in this article.

We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.
βHiβ
Happy to join a crowd of good people. (Never imagined there were so many awful ones out there!)
Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers β and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
βA direct line connects this violence with the U.S. governmentβs violence over the past year against people in Minneapolis, Chicago, and other American cities. And with the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Behind it all is the vicious bully now occupying the Oval Office.β
βItβs been a hard week.
U.S. missiles and bombs have so far caused at least 1,168 civilian deaths in Iran, including 188 schoolchildren. Six American service members have perished.β

And this is all he had to replace Noem.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...donβt trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesnβt bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesnβt create jobs
Folks, weβve seen this all before.
Gas prices spiked well above the $3 mark this week as strikes between the U.S. and Iran escalated amid the de facto shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz.
BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void
We & great partners win again!
H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.
A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.
The Ellisonsβ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

Noem is gone, sort of, but there are lessons to be learned from her tenure, how she was fired, and why it didnβt happen earlier, why the Senate confirmed her in the first place, that we canβt afford to ignore joycevance.substack.com/p/fired-but-...
