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.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

Israeli Censorship. They don't want you to see the damage that Iran has caused. If anyone post videos of damage in Tel Aviv is immediately sentenced to 5 years prison. International media are not allowed to show footage. Israelis are cutting off the internet at times. Also the Iron dome has failed.

Iran kills 7 American soldiers after being attacked by the United States without justification and is a "barbaric and terrorist" regime.

The United States kills 150 Iranian school girls for no reason and is on the side of goodness and right.

Yeah, right, Lindsey, you lying drunk.

It’s past time for Trump and Hegseth to come clean on this. They already know the truth. What they are doing now is simply refusing to accept responsibility.

The Israelis don't want you to see this. They don't want to acknowledge the hundreds of casualties, the thousands of injured, the destruction, the ruined buildings and homes. They want you to think it's all going according to plan. It's not. They are paying a heavy price for this war they started.

AI company Anthropic is suing the Trump administration.

They accuse the government and the DoD of violating the company's First Amendment rights, the Administrative Procedures Act, and Anthropic’s Fifth Amendment right to due process.

Oil surges past $100 a barrel for the first time in four years Traders are betting a widening conflict in the Middle East will lead to a weeks-long disruption in supply

Brent, the international benchmark, leapt 25% in Asia trading on Monday to $116.17 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate, the US marker, rose 28% to $116.29. If sustained, this would be the largest price jump in a single 24 hour period ever. www.ft.com/content/56a0...

535 is the House (435) + the Senate (100).

The number we need is half the House plus one (218), and two thirds of the Senate: (67 Senators).

Just 285 people, all by themselves, could change this wretched story for good.

That's wild. It's even wilder that there's not a chance they will.
