Nancy Youssef X post: The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, a congressional official told me.

US war with Iran = $1B a day

Eliminating homelessness = 30 days of Iran war

Universal child care (3-4) = 20 days of Iran War

Universal free college = 58 days of Iran war

Ending world hunger = 93 days of Iran war

Weโ€™ve always had the meansโ€”we must demand that the priorities change

โ€œYou have turned the United States government against its own residentsโ€ฆ You need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.โ€
Rep. Pramila Jayapal

Detaining U.S. citizens without charges is not enforcement. It is a constitutional crisis.

lmao, this was a badge of honor. Weird transphobe Jesse Singal attacking me because I dared to publicly reveal the New Yorkerโ€™s awful diversity & equal pay data and Gawker claimed I did it because I lacked โ€œjoie de vivreโ€ (Iโ€™m literally not making that up).

Jasmine Crockettโ€™s X post: This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win.ย Iโ€™m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas.

Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people.

In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that โ€œbillionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.โ€

Voter confusion plagues Texas primary in key county Republicansโ€™ decision to shake up polling locations led to mass confusion in the Texas primary election.

Hundreds of voters showed up at the wrong polling place after the Dallas County GOP forced both parties to abandon countywide vote centers in the March primary.

hey @adamserwer.bsky.social, isnโ€™t this your magazine? do they have fact checkers? because they seem completely ignorant of yitzhak rabin, netanyahuโ€™s testimony in โ€˜02 urging on the Iraq War & SO much more. if anything radicalized Bibi, it was probably Yoniโ€™s death, ~50 yrs before Oct 7th. jesus๐Ÿ™„

Donald Trump is gaslighting us and distracting us from his many failures. This is how authoritarians use war.

Congress must vote immediately to stop this illegal war with Iran.
