Trump is spending unprecedented sums on military-grade equipment at the southern border.
β53 billion dollars for the current fiscal year, with another 20 billion available in its βoperations and supportβ budgetβ
major increase from the usual 3 billion a year

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

Instead of healthcare we get war
Republicans did this

Trumpβs war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits.
Republicans are telling the American peopleβthere is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks.
Just never any money for health care or families here at home.
Itβs not a war.
Itβs a βstrategic action.β
More than 1,000 lawsuits were resolved last year, including multimillion-dollar payouts tied to overturned convictions

What do the senators who voted on the Iraq War think about the rush toward war with Iran?
@cheetah.bsky.social asks them directly and breaks down what their reactions reveal in the this week's Press Pass.
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.
Ask the billionaires for money

There's an economic asymmetry around the war in Iran that really worries me.
Lemme explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfTL...
After the briefing today, my position remains unchanged and I will vote for the War Powers Resolution Act tomorrow.

Itβs 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, heβs been emboldened, and we are in a new and even more dangerous world.
