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.

Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

One thing is clear: we’re about to take back Texas.

To the billionaires who have taken over our state and our country: your unchecked power is coming to an end. 

To the people of Texas: this election is our chance to take power back for ourselves and our communities.

BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee has voted 24–19 to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Five Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the subpoena.

ALERT: With 5 Republicans joining Democrats, House Oversight Committee has just voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify as part of their ongoing Epstein investigation

Jayapal to Noem: "I want to introduce you to just four of the US citizens unlawfully detained by ICE ... they're in this room with us."

RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest?

NOEM: No

RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them?

NOEM: No


RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right

Jasmine will do good things. I wish she would still be in Congress.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures.

Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people.

We do not want another forever war.

I have family in Texas and James Talarico stands a chance of winning in November. I am not fond of the right wing Evangelicals but he isn't like them. I was an Evangelical many years ago so I am glad he isn't like them. I left the church when Pat Robertson stood with the Repubican Party.

JUST IN: Jasmine Crockett concedes and urges Democrats to rally around James Talarico, who is now officially the party’s nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.

There Are 47,635 Epstein Files Offline for Review, DOJ Says Among the unreleased documents are a woman’s unverified allegations against President Trump.

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.

Priorities.

VOTEVETS SETS A RED LINE: Congress must stop ducking its constitutional duty. We expect all lawmakers to support the bipartisan War Powers resolution on Iran. We will hold Republicans AND Democrats accountable who do not.

After 30+ years, thousands of lives and trillions of wasted dollars, most Americans know this much.

Stay the hell out of the Middle East.

Watching the most delusional and incompetent administration in our lifetimes try to convince us otherwise, would be comical if it wasn’t dangerous.

Wht not blame Russia for starting the war?

Pete Hegseth: “War is hell and always will be.”

Tommy Tuberville: “It’s war, it’s gonna git worse before it gets better.”

Markwayne Mullin: “War is ugly.”

Mike Johnson asked why War Powers Act is being ignored: “It’s not a war because it’s defensive in nature and design.”

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

Go @hillaryclinton.bsky.social. Absolutely 💯 percent correct.

If Iran would have tried to attack us couldn't we have handle it with our fire power?

Maj. Gen. Randy Manner (Ret.): "It's a little bit disheartening to hear that the UK govt is arranging transport for the British citizens, whereas here as Americans we feel abandoned. The State Dept is in survival mode because as we know the administration reduced their budget by almost half."

He is slurring and looks bad. It must be a terrible feeling to know people will be going after him because of this war.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Ira

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran.

Both countries have major financial ties to Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth. Period.

Trump’s war on Iran is polling lower than any war in American history, including the War of 1812 when several states refused to fund it and went as far as threats of secession.

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

CNN's Kate Bolduan takes seriously the idea that Donald Trump has sincere concerns for Iranian protesters. Someone tell her about what he's been doing to American protesters in Minneapolis.

If this war is retribution for all the years of Iranian aggression against America, why were we even at the negotiating table with them?

It’s a different spin every day.
