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

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesโ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.

Thank you, Sir, for speaking plain truth.

The science is as over-hyped and borderline fraudulent as the ethics are thorny (and that doesn't even count the George Church, friend of Epstein angle)

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.

โ€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.โ€

With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

Trumpโ€™s Shifting Iran Strategies Risk a Chaotic Global Endgame New satellite imagery and data reveal the joint US-Israeli campaign objectives remain unclear.

"[W]hile Iranโ€™s nuclear facilities have so far largely avoided attack, strikes have damaged a range of sites, including hospitals, police stations, a court and densely populated areas of northern Tehran."

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life โ€” as E. Jean Carroll can attest

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

For many in the US today, their beliefs are written first by their politics and only a distance second by their faith; and if the two conflict, theyโ€™ll go with ideology over theology any day.

Leaders like Leo help us see the difference: and Iโ€™m pretty sure they would call Jesus even worse things.
