β€œA 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.

Well done. Thanks for putting this together. Some terrible things have been done to key research and monitoring programs, but when Ds get back control we can start to recover. I've been impressed by approps committees' widespread rejection of DTs cuts... And by how scientific community has rallied.

Trump Is Attacking Climate Science. Scientists Are Fighting Back. It’s easy, looking at the past year, to see the damage the administration has done. But researchers are also stepping up, trying to fill the gaps.

We also got a 50kW town solar array contracted just under the wire for qualifying for 30% rebates! Once operational, our little town of 1,400 will save about $12k per year on electrical costs for municipal accounts. Hoping rebates come back when Ds are in control again and we are ready for phase 2.

We took advantage of tax credits to install solar a few years back. I’m so glad we did.

Dear judges
When you order ice to release their victims, please write in the order that they need to be returned to their homes, not just dumped penniless and without transportation far from home, in another state, or worse.

We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown.

This is who we are now.

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been
"inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East.
Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had
"urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ."
"He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy."
MRFF told Larsen that over 110 complaints came

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received 110+ complaints from US service members across 30+ sites about commanders using religious rhetoric

Including calling the war with Iran "part of God's plan" and Trump "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon”

Ever since Trump began running for president in 2015, it was obvious he was BS'ing--that he did not & would not do the necessary homework to actually understand the issues and make genuinely informed decisions. This war with Iran is the deadly consequence of his ignorance, laziness and narcissism.

Seems like they have now made at least 4 or 5 different cases. Apparently they have been telling troops they are on some holy Christian mission.

Wonder about the basis for this statement. Some of us think Platner is a strong candidate, in a good way...

Listening to news this morning. Has everyone forgotten that we were in the middle of negotiations with Iran at the time of our attack, and they had just offered considerable concessions? I also read that US strike apparently killed all of DTs favored potential future leaders. WTF are we doing?

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified
possible candidates to take over Iran, but they
were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most
of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to
be anybody that we were thinking of because they
are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

The incompetence of this regime never surprises me, but it does frequently astound me

β€œPEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND… THE WORLD” - Donald Trump

Is it just me, or is this a whole lot of victory-lap energy and glee a little too early in the game when people are dying? It gives me George W. Bush β€œmission accomplished” vibes. πŸ€”

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Your taxpayer dollars are funding Trump’s out-of-control DHS and inhumane detention centers.
Β 
The ICE Funding Accountability Act and the Private Detention Accountability are two ways I’m fighting to stop it.

It's time for Congress to step up and reign in this administration.
