We've spent $19 BILLION in TWO WEEKS. For a technology that's already dying. If we spent that much on solar & wind, we could reduce our energy dependency by 12.5% in a year.
We could be pollution-free and have electricity at a quarter of current prices in eight years.
Instead we have war.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Sorry about setting off a global energy crisis guys here’s a fresh tariff. 🤡
Since Trump’s election:
🔵 Democrats have flipped 28 state legislative seats
🔴 Republicans have flipped 0
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
A win! A federal judge in Oregon restricted federal officers from using tear gas at protests outside Portland’s ICE building, following an ACLU of Oregon lawsuit filed on behalf of protesters and freelance journalists.
A new whistleblower complaint is raising alarms over a potential data breach tied to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. The Social Security Administration’s inspector general has launched an investigation into allegations
To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.
The DNC is suing the Trump administration for refusing to answer a simple question, “are you planning to put armed agents or military at polling places?” They submitted 11 FOIA requests and have gotten zero answers.
Great news! Three high school mariachi musicians and their parents have been freed from federal immigration detention facilities in Texas after lawmakers from both parties pushed for their release. Eighteen-year-old Antonio Gámez-Cuéllar had
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas — immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
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.
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.

IRAN'S IRGC SAYS TEHRAN WOULD NOT ALLOW EXPORT OF 'ONE LITRE OF OIL' FROM REGION IF U.S., ISRAELI ATTACKS CONTINUE -STATE MEDIA
So much “winning.” 🙄
If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.
No healthcare for many, but the Chevy Tahoes are fucking endless.
Higher oil prices = Higher everything prices
Trump just found another way to make your life more expensive. For no real reason. While innocent people die.
