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.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Americans do not want and cannot afford another forever war. For 25 years, U.S. servicemembers have sacrificed so much because of regime change wars in the Middle East. Trump is now asking yet another generation to do the same.
How is this America first? I am voting against Trump's war with Iran.
ICE arrested a journalist yesterday without a warrant.
She is an asylum seeker, has valid work permits, and is married to a U.S. citizen.

At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.
They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.
As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.

Not just any white hat. It comes from “The Trump Store." You can find it there for $55 & plenty of other stuff & links to Trump Hotels, Trump Golf, etc. Apparently, to Trump, nothing says great opportunity for pushing merchandise like bringing home fallen soldiers. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Trump spent years screaming about gas prices. Blaming Democrats. Then he started a war in the Middle East. And he clearly doesn’t give a sh*t.
His voters got plaid.

And we see the twump Admin working hard to DISMANTLE the VAMC system so that soldiers won't get the care they need ..the care the Constitution promised to our military willing to fight our battles.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
That didn’t age well 🤨
Eyeliner is on point tho.
Massive protests have been seen at Epstein’s other property, zorro ranch. The fact this administration thinks it can do obviously try to hide the co-conspirators will ultimately be their own undoing, we the people DEMAND justice!

Meanwhile affirmative action "meritocracy" manosphere tech bros wasting our taxes:
"OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

This is the idiot millions of stupid 3rd party voters chose to vote for?
Not only does she fall for an obviously fake Ai photo & post, she’s cheering on the capture of US Soldiers!
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.
Sec. Collins promised his VA reforms wouldn't impact veterans' care access. As @reptimkennedy.bsky.social said, that promise was broken. Collins cut 10,000+ positions for doctors, nurses, & clinical staff—leaving veterans with fewer options & longer wait times. We need a fully staffed & funded VA.
🧵Rubio asked the press to disseminate widely a phone number for Americans stuck in the Middle East to call. The media outlets did. Now @jonathankarl.bsky.social reports that calling the number just tells you, via recorded message, there is NO help.
Ukraine sends drone interceptors to protect US bases in Jordan in a remarkable strategic twist.

Yes..in elementary school my favorite topic was geography and maps.
I also remember we were assigned a country to write a report on and I was assigned Andorra.
This is pretty alarming.
Yeah we only have money to drop bombs.
New GOP talking points are in.
Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.
Is it just me or in every picture with Epstein does Trump look like his eager apprentice?
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
The Epstein files are off the front page, but far from yesterday’s news
Let's keep it on the front page

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”
None of it was true.
