βThis appears to be the latest example of DOJ leadership trying to avoid oversight and accountability for their lawlessness,β Justice Connection's Stacey Young said.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't 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.

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.
Time is running out to save the life of Sonny Burton, an Alabama man who didnβt kill anyone.

Listen to your experienced advisors; if at first you don't succeed, get better advisers with more experience.
βI didnβt vote for THIS,β say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.
It's a toxic brew of wishful thinking when anyone mixes fundamentalism together with politics.
The government just told a federal court:
βCourts cannot tell the President what to say.β
Thatβs the theory behind Trumpβs latest clash with the judiciaryβand it could end up before the Supreme Court. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Once upon a time, knowing that #SCOTUS was in the wings, about to review and make a decision in support of the Constitution, would have given me a promise of hope.
βRepublicans own thisβ¦They lashed themselves to the president with ball-and-chain oblivion. Now thereβs no daylight left between them and the decisions producing $100 oilβ¦ a financial crisisβ¦ and a terror threat level thatβs blinking red.β

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trumpβs criminal war on Iran, we could:
-Extend ACA subsidies for one year
-Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people

The original "Artificial Intelligence made in the USA."
Jesse Jackson never stopped fighting for America, in times of darkness he turned to hope and embodied the light.
"Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already."
-Donald Trump, 4/2/25
Shazam! We sure don't need Artificial Intelligence to see where that ends up...
what would you be doing right now if Kamala (or Hillary or Al) had won #ElectionMultiverse
"Us and them" describes the limitations of their thinking, lack of a world view, and functioning morality to create a bridge. There is no us and them! It's all us!
When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. It seems like a repeat of amateur hour as this administration is caught "shooting from the hip" yet again. We passed #Accountability more than a few blunders ago. Time to #VOTENoConfidence
Call it, "The Seven Deadly Sins Meets Accountability"?
