“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."
A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.
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 — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
Like clockwork.
Tennessee senators @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty officially vote in favor of a deadly, costly war with no clear purpose
They own everything that has happened, and whatever comes next

Because of the Big Ugly Bill, Amazon's tax bill fell by 87% even though its profits rose by 45%.
Trump and the GOP are shoveling more money towards the richest people and richest corporations in America at the same time so many people will be losing health care.

This was an unfathomable strategic mistake by Trump and Hegseth. It will almost certainly result in many American deaths and untold numbers of civilian casualties.
Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”
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.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.
Weird.
Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
Sad, But True........

If Iran has a full copy of the Epstein Files, they should release them. They’ll do more damage than any ballistic missile.
Follow the money. Who benefits? OPEC. The Arabs have given Trump billions in cryptocurrency. They will control most of the oil market. They even have the largest oil refinery in the US. Watch the price of oil go through the roof.
Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.
Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."
"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."
So why do it?
"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."
Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

🎩 Okay, Hillary testified
Now, do Melania Trump!
This is a hideous betrayal of the country, in exchange for a bribe.
