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.
Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.
My thoughts for so long.
My column today. Two recent profiles present U.S. Sen. Katie Britt as using uncritical public support of Trump to secure some wins for Alabama behind the scenes. But those policies -- from trade to anti-DEI -- are hurting her constituents now, and her approach makes it hard to know her real beliefs.
Bingo! She is itching to be the VP in a JD Vance administration.
Alabama’s energy debate keeps circling the same question:
Who actually has power and who pays the price?
A new “Secretary of Energy” sounds bold, but without stronger accountability to voters, restructuring risks changing everything except the bills.

SNL's Colin Jost on Iran: "This attack might be a bad idea, I don't know. I'm not really an expert on Iran. So let's hear from someone who can explain why we might have done it."
Bombing for peace is like f*cking for virginity.

People know those tax cuts last summer weren't for them.
They know tariffs are killing their pocketbooks.
They can see their healthcare bills skyrocketing.
You really can't hide a rigged economy behind a "booming stock market" anymore.
We're onto the game.
Disabled American Veterans is warning Congress that siphoning resources from the VA into private care risks hollowing out the system itself.
When decline is manufactured, it’s later used as justification.

30 years.
This video should be on every network.
In case you missed it…here’s the facts-only version of SOTU
The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.
He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.
Marco is like..." I sold my soul for this shit?"
democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
Listening to the @thebulwark.com pod and Tim Miller called Canada, “Snow Mexico”. Ain’t gonna lie…it took me a minute. 😂 ❄️🇲🇽
Worth noting: this was LEAKED by a person who had reviewed the unredacted files.
Someone inside the DOJ is not cool with this. Not cool with this at all.
Call today!
A party of morons. bsky.app/profile/atru...
It's the latter. Hoping Alabamians read it as "we will have a say". Nah...we won't.
“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.”

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."
Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."
This miscarriage of justice is all the proof one needs in order to see that our inherently flawed justice system should not have the power to condemn anyone to death.
Brilliant!
Look at the song @governor.ca.gov used in this post.
