The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
• Top: “Let's review some basic data this morning. Only 219,000 jobs have been created in America in Trump's first thirteen months. This is less than the monthly average under Clinton and Biden:” • Middle: “Average Jobs Created Per Month by President Monthly average nonfarm payroll change (thousands) - 1989-2026 • Source: BLS”; a column chart whose Y-axis labels read “400K”, “220K”, “70K”, “-80K”; the chart tells us the following average jobs created per month: H.W. Bush, +54K; Clinton, +242K; W. Bush, +22K; Obama, +109K; Trump 1, -58K; Biden, +336K; Trump 2*, +16K • Bottom: “🟦Democrat 🟥Republican ; *Trump 2nd term: Jan 2025-Feb 2026 (14 months of data) • Trump 1 avg reflects COVID job possess in 2020 Hopium Chronicles”
Biden: +336K jobs per month. Clinton: +242K. Trump 2: +16K — less than the MONTHLY average of every Democratic president since 1989.
The “greatest economy ever” is dead last.
The data doesn’t lie.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
92,000 jobs GONE in February. Look at that chart — the red bars only started appearing after January 2025. Biden handed him a booming job market. Trump turned it into a graveyard. This isn’t a headwind. This is self-inflicted economic destruction. #TrumpsJobsSlump
We are so fucked

RUSSIA GETS:
-Higher oil prices
-Reduced US economic pressure
-Bogged down US military
-Air defense assets not sent to Ukraine
US GETS:
-Indefinite war in pursuit of undefined outcome
-Weaker economy
-Frayed international partnerships
-Combat deaths
This is going to hit American pocketbooks hard.
Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

"Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already."
-Donald Trump, 4/2/25
We should reckon with the idea that Americans are so fucking dumb that we booted out the party that saved the country after Covid and created the best economic recovery in the world in favor of a con man who said he would use racism and magic to make everything cheaper and jobs plentiful.
So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.
So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.
So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.
Got it.

Trump screwed them 3 times and dared to ask for a 4th.
2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, and 20 years from now, Americans are going to be subject to attacks here and all over the world because of what Trump is doing right now.
A remarkably EVIL coalition.
Trump’s illegal, immoral, and unjustified war will cost taxpayers billions and put upward pressure on energy prices and inflation more generally. Purely from an economic standpoint, the war is a disaster. And the inflation picture even before Trump’s war was ominous

The proposed $1.5 trillion budget for 2027 would mark one of the largest increases in defense spending in U.S. history, potentially adding trillions to the national debt over the next decade.

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.
“Every 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.”

🇮🇷 has fired off more than 2,000 one-way drones since the 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 attack, some reached their targets, despite billion-dollar air defense systems.
In a world where attack drones are cheap & defending against them expensive, the bill could become unsustainable over time.
