The Burn Rate: $1 Billion a Day for War β Defend America Action
The Pentagon is spending $1 billion a day on Trump's Iran war. See what that money could buy for Americans instead.
Oooh Defend America just came out with a brand new tracker to show us, in real time, how much we're spending on the war in Iran, and what else that money could be spent on.
They come with receipts! Share this everywhere!

Voting to fund the reckless illegal war is not voting to fund our troops. Some dems are waffling. Call your legislators daily to vote NO for war & its funding. Up to GOP & Trump to have an exit plan. War Costing taxpayers $billion/day, not going to healthcare, feeding kids, social security costs etc

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Biden was brutalized by Trump & the GOP about Afghanistanβs evacuation. Seems that Trump is ill prepared to evacuate Americans from the region where he created a war. They donβt even know where people are, now begging for them to call into US officials

Just saying, Obama reached a deal preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Trump ripped up that deal. Look where we are now, all caused by Trump with no end in sight and off ramp. Shamefully, innocent lives will be lost

Trump starting this war is just like Dustin Hoffmanβs movie βWag the Dogβ to take focus off him & his horrors with Epstein. Just think no reason for Trump to do this now. Trump never got Congressβs vote to start a war!! Trumpβs national objective is unclear

Why doesnβt Trump put much of his lovely tariff profits into the Social Security Fund to save its longevity for millions of seniors who rely on it for food, healthcare and housing. Or better,rescind some of the tax cuts to billionaires. Thatβs making America great again

Susan Collins should be ashamed of herself for supporting Trumpβs Save Act. Sheβs not a moderate nor is she helping her constituents by voting yes for a voter suppression bill. She only votes no if bills have lots of GOP yes votes but always supports Trump if vote is close. Vote for Democrats always

FDA wonβt review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine
The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.
RFK Jr is risking our lives. Many people will die cause of the conspiracy theories of what this HHS/FDA is preaching about vaccines. mRNA vaccine has amazing potential for medical treatments & saving lives, cancer cures. SHAME on Sen Casey for voting for RFK Jr www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

We have two days left to protect the Endangered Species Act. Call your legislators to vote no on reducing their protection. They donβt have a voice but we do. We have to learn to share our plant with all living things.
