Among dozens of companies competing for Pentagon contracts to supply attack drones, one stands out.
Powerus is flush with cash and ballooning in size as it buys up rivals and has one other advantage: It is partly owned by President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons.
According to the Pentagon's own estimates, Trump’s war in Iran cost nearly $2 billion a day in the first 6 days.

Leavitt confirms that the current "ballpark" total of US soldiers injured fighting Iran is 150
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
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 — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:
“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

I just left a concert fundraising for the National Immigrant Justice Center to head to Broadview.
Here’s why:
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
Like clockwork.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
They’re raping people on your dime.
A budget is a moral document.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
And as George W Bush did in Iraq

The first concern with measles is, of course, the devastating health impact.
But this article does a great job of explaining the economic costs.
I guess they made a pretty good chunk of change off her...housing, food, etc. for 8 months. I'm sure they charged the government (i.e. me and you) for several hundred thousand...this is the biggest grift in history.
Obama in his tan suit
Struck a deal to contain Iran's nuclear program forever.
Didn't go to war in Iran.
DID IT ALL IN A TAN SUIT.
FACT: Trump is a 34-count convicted felon, a rapist, a racist, a business fraudster, and now an obvious pedophile. If you support him, there is something seriously wrong with you.
Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.
When is she testifying?
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.
