#Trump and the Pentagon are already spending $1 BILLION a day on the illegal war in #Iran. Now he wants $50 billion more from Congress to keep it going.

Tell Congress: not one dime for Trump’s illegal war!

Markwayne Mullin’s views on the value of life stop at the birth canal.

β€œIn Oklahoma, we’re not going to be killing babies.”

Oklahoma ranks near the bottom in maternal care, infant mortality, healthcare, and education. For Markwayne, once the baby is born, they’re on their own.

Where are my sisters at? Stand tall. Speak up. Lift each other higher. Straighten her crown when it slips and remind her who she is. Stay loud. Stay fearless. Stay outspoken. Don’t let anyone mistake your silence for consent. I’ve got your back. πŸ‘‘

Interesting to note β€”

What happens when the US economy tanks? Military enlistment increases.

When the economy is weak, jobs are scarce, and unemployment rates rise β€” it typically leads to a surge in recruits.

Begs to wonder if Trump is imploding our economy on purpose.

They call it β€œrolling back a rule.”

Can we stop allowing people who have never been in the military to use our military as some type of war games scenario. I'm not talking about Kegsbreath but the felon. I have no problem with war if it's necessary. I have a problem with war to hide his depravity.

Fox News: New Jersey elementary school weighs renaming after Trump.

Naming a school in honor of a pedophile who raped children is the height of Republican hypocrisy.

"Only the Appointments Clause or the Vacancies Act’s exclusive structure may authorize service as a principal officer, and Lake satisfies the requirements of neither the statute nor the Constitution,” (cont.)

We always keep going, bcuz we don't do it alone. Our mothers' mothers' mothers learned the art of holding each other up. That knowledge didn't just get passed down - it got woven into us, stitch by stitch, generation by generation. Sisterhood isn't something we practice. It's who we are.

Trump is sealed in a bubble, fed a steady diet of BS, with no real grasp of what’s unfolding!
This isn’t political theater. Misinformation at the top during a serious war isn’t just dangerous. It’s catastrophic.
