The Trump Administration Is Spending Billions to Militarize the Border The border-industrial complex has become even more profitable since the start of Donald Trump’s second term.

Trump is spending unprecedented sums on military-grade equipment at the southern border.
β€œ53 billion dollars for the current fiscal year, with another 20 billion available in its β€œoperations and support” budgetβ€”

major increase from the usual 3 billion a year

The war in Iran is already hugely expensive Aircraft carriers and stealth bombers are expensive to use.

did a little back of the envelope math for how much all this shit is costing. on the order of $1-2 billion per day just in direct spending, maybe 10 times that much in indirect effects

The first set of polling locations in Texas have officially closed. Precincts will begin tabulating the votes and reporting results to county election offices.

Polls in Dallas County will remain open after a county judge granted an emergency petition to extend hours.

Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits.

Republicans are telling the American peopleβ€”there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks.

Just never any money for health care or families here at home.

No Democrat should vote for a single penny of a military appropriation for the Iran War until they first get to vote on a Declaration of War.

Trump Foreign Policy is like the world's worst improv game played by the least talented comedians.

No shared talking points, can't even lie properly, backtracking on explanations for the war, no exit strategy, now trying to invite Kurdish rebellion and civil war.

What Is the Point of This War? The crucial question the Trump White House can’t answer.

The answer is simple: Congress should not give this administration a blank and open-ended check to continue to wage a massive, risky, and unconstitutional war.

It’s been nearly a year since Pete Hegseth shared sensitive strike details in a Signal chat that included a journalist.

He should have lost his job after that basic operational security failure.

Instead, he’s been emboldened, and we are in a new and even more dangerous world.
