So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not 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.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
That, unfortunately, tracks.
Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday. Damas came to the US from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection, according to ICE. A tooth infection. He's death number nine.
This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*
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.
Remember when Trump performatively yelled at Zelenskyy that he was gambling with World War III and “doesn’t have the cards”? That didn’t age well for Trump and it especially didn’t age well for Vance
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.
We will literally go to war rather than arrest any rich pedophiles in this country.
Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.
Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.
THIS.
“The presumption created by the surrounding evidence is that this war could very well be about (1) subverting US democracy, (2) enriching the president, or both. These presumptions, while not proof, provide solid lines of inquiry as we learn more about the war.”

Trump didn’t even pretend to try to make the case for war with Iran
The U.S. has attacked Iran again, and Trump has shown complete indifference to getting buy-in from Congress or Americans.

Rep. Ansari: “Why is the DOJ continuing to defy the Epstein Files Transparency Act by refusing to release the full Epstein files, by illegally withholding information, by deleting photos and videos of people like Howard Lutnick?”
Thinking the Clintons should be questioned about Epstein but the Trumps shouldn’t is the real definition of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran.
Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."

NEW: Democratic lawmakers sent letters to 15 anti-voting groups, demanding any records that could determine which one signed a ‘voter data agreement’ with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to share private voter data. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
LOSS: The Florida Supreme Court blocked voters’ attempt to invalidate Gov. Ron DeSantis’ call for a special session to redraw the state’s congressional districts.
Redistricting is set to begin in April with the state potentially gaining four red seats.
Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.
They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.
This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.
Pay attention.
They interviewing Hillary Clinton and not Melania, who is in dozens of pictures with Epstein and Maxwell as well as emails and allegedly flown in Epstein’s plane.
Why is that?
Well, his brain has turned into oatmeal, you see.
You know if the DOJ had any evidence on Hillary Clinton, they'd have already leaked it to every right-wing influencer and podcaster.
Wild how Hillary Clinton has to answer for why Trump raped kids with Jeffrey Epstein.
My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.
The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.
If MAGA wants Hillary Clinton to testify about Epstein, surely they'd want Trump to testify, considering he was closest friend for a decade.
Right? Right?
Unless, of course, they don't carea bout pedophiles raping girls and instead are trying to protect themselves and their "Daddy."
the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
Holy shit
