"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower
The US military has lost 11 MQ-9 Reaper drones in its first 10 days of attacking Iran.
Each drone costs about $35M.
In 10 days the US Military has wasted $365M on drones.
We are we even paying federal taxes at this point.
Capitalism has lost its fucking mind.
For prison? Both! They can all be cellmates, though the orange one's crimes seem far worse overall.
Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:
Stock traders are so stupid and gullible. I can’t believe I used to think these people were smart.
“No president before me did this”
yeah but the thing you did is stupid, is why they didn’t
I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
What isn't mentioned is that the Republicans are having their conference at Donald Trump's resort. In other words, it's a kickback to line the venal simpleton's pockets. We are living in the most corrupt times.
This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and it’s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.
🚨 Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.
Watch all of this.
He wants a quagmire. He needs the Iran war to go on through the election so he can claim powers, or at least say it’s against decorum to vote against a wartime Presidency.
So say we all
I suddenly want (their) boots on the ground in Iran?
“A lot.”
Republicans in Congress say they don’t even know how much Trump’s Iran war is costing.
Every American should know: while they’re kicking 17 million people off health care, they’re willing to spend endless amounts on Trump’s war of choice.
Based on one of Trump's executive orders, the Defense department should be defunded for antisemitism.
Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.
He doesn’t care about you. He never has.
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.
The Office of Congressional Conduct has already found "substantial reason to believe" that Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) engaged in sexual relations with a now-deceased subordinate, Politico reported on Wednesday.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare
COMER: We believe that's your fault
WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state
What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office
This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.
I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

Damn. What a good way to phrase it.
BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.
It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.
Everyone should be angry about this because all voters should be able to vote.
The Texas Supreme Court just blocked the judge’s order that would have kept Democratic polls open until 9 p.m.
But don't let them trick you: anyone who was in line by 7PM STILL has the legal right to vote and have it counted. Anyone after will have their vote collected, but counting isn’t certain.
Texas is a textbook case for voter suppression.
