Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

So you don't heave a missile into an elementary school, then fire a second missile into the school to finish off the survivors is why a professional military engages in dumb, politically correct rules of engagement. But no, American exceptionalism > 175 schoolgirls.

I just keep coming back to this and how in a normal world this would be the end of any career who had anything to do with it.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

A win! Glad they didn’t cave. Senate Democrats blocked a spending bill to reopen the Department of Homeland Security for a third time, insisting they would not approve the measure without new limits on immigration enforcement.

Nice β€œPro Life” party they are. Killing innocent children and then posting propaganda videos on social media sites like they are playing Call of Duty. So disturbing. I’m appalled this is happening and our elected officials continue to let it happen with our money.

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.

#BlueSkyVets The Senate rejected a resolution seeking to limit Trump’s ability to conduct military operations against Iran without congressional approval, then nearly all Republicans officially endorsed open-ended effort in Iran.

It’s 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.

🚨 NEW: Drop Site reported today that House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries will whip votes for the War Powers Resolution this week, multiple Democratic sources told 
@ryangrim
 and 
@JulianAndreone
. 

Whipping means leadership will pressure members to back the resolution constraining Trump’s war powers, making defections costly. The whip operation is led by Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA).

The move follows pressure from progressives who opposed treating the vote as β€œa vote of conscience.” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) told Drop Site: β€œThis is not a vote of conscience… this is a vote about the Constitution and Article 1 responsibilities.”

The House is tentatively expected to debate Wednesday and vote Thursday.

We asked Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) if Democratic leadership’s response to the war has been strong enough.

β€œWho is the Democratic leadership?” he shot back at our correspondent.

The RSF in Sudan is 'bad', the Burmese military junta is 'bad', Kim Jong Un is 'bad', Putin is 'bad', even Xi Xin Ping is 'bad'.
But the US does not embark on wars against every 'bad state' πŸ™„
