So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't 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.
Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
LIEU: Did Liam Ramos commit a crime?
NOEM: He did not commit a crime. His father abandoned him
LIEU: I believe you're not telling the truth. School officials said there were people saying they could take care of Liam, and a federal judge rejected your claims
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
🧵Rubio asked the press to disseminate widely a phone number for Americans stuck in the Middle East to call. The media outlets did. Now @jonathankarl.bsky.social reports that calling the number just tells you, via recorded message, there is NO help.
He's certainly no FDR.
All of them.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.
This trump administration, proving, over and over... they don't care about women, infants, or children!
It's all lies... the entire administration... incompetent, liars!
Boycott The State Of The Union Address.
Listen to this DHS whistleblower talk about how agents are being trained to ignore the law. They're certainly not being trained to follow it. That's because hundreds of hours of training have been cut.
This administration is intentionally promoting CBC & #ICELawlessness!

"Where's Papi?"
This is an update about Annabelle Rodriguez, a 6 year old who was abandoned when her father was picked up by #ICE on 1-11-26 & was wondering the streets crying & calling for him in Morristown, New Jersey.
ICE abandoned the child after please from the father to call his wife.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

JB Pritzker: “Trump is a danger to the future of our country & our democracy — authoritarians don't go away. They get more powerful if you don't stand up to them early
People said, you're alarmist. That's over the top — I don't think a year later anybody's saying that about what I said a year ago”
The defining face of the first day of the full-scale invasion is Ukrainian marine Vitalii Skakun.
He heroically sacrificed his life by blowing up a bridge in Henichesk to slow the advancing Russian columns.
Sanctions on Palestinian human rights groups and ICC officials are the latest move in a long campaign to punish those seeking accountability for Israel and the U.S.

Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"
The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.
Tonight, I’ll be watching the People’s State of the Union with MoveOn and MeidasTouch — standing up for healthcare, affordability and decency.
How about you? ✋

"US immigration enforcement has evolved into a rapidly growing multi-billion-dollar industry in which profitability increasingly dictates policy and enforcement priorities."

Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.
Breaking MS NOW:
An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.
Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.
First of many.

The only people who “need” a new stadium are the unaccountably wealthy owners of the team.
There is no other reason to move the team beyond increasing the already astronomical profit and wealth of people who contribute exactly nothing to the “product.”
Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”
