Trump is launching us into what could be another costly and deadly forever war.Meanwhile, he and Republicans are making How We Actually Pay for War and Billionaire Tax Cuts

At more than $5 billion and counting, the cost of Operation Epic Fury so far could cover SNAP benefits for more than 2 million Americans.

But instead of feeding hungry people at home, we're cutting food stamps in order to lower taxes for the rich and boost military spending to record levels.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not 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 foreign minister says that the country is "not asking for a ceasefire" as the war between Iran, the U.S. and Israel spreads across the region and that "there is no request for the negotiation with the U.S."

Ted Lieu to Kristi Noem: “I just showed you a video with ICE officers at a school drop-off location — your refusal to commit to stopping these operations at or near schools & drop-off locations is why you're failing — so I'm going to show you this video that encapsulates why you're failing”

Obama calls on Virginians to vote for redistricting in special election “Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but right now they are under threat,” Obama said.

🚨BREAKING: A day before early voting begins in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, Barack Obama called on Virginians to vote in favor of a state constitutional amendment allowing the legislature to redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?

Priorities.

Everything MAGA Republicans campaigned on is now a verified lie.

Continuous war in the middle east now seems to be their top priority.

Watch the MAGA sycophants weave how going to war is now a good thing and all of a sudden is an America First principle that makes us great.

What a clown show.

New Study Shows Shocking Extent of Trump Appointees’ Loyalty The president has largely appointed partisan warriors.

Trump’s judicial appointees are delivering on his agenda at an astonishing rate, even compared to federal judges appointed by other Republican presidents.

Calling in the Clinton’s in for a closed-door testimony while ignoring other widely implicated individuals is no mistake. This is an active, and massive, cover-up.

Trump’s lightbulb moment: America needs Europe after all The U.S. is even looking to Ukraine to help its operations against Iran — as Trump rages at Starmer and Sánchez for refusing to back his war.

Having spent a year criticizing, insulting and threatening European leaders, Donald Trump now sees the value of having friends in strategically important places.

That is, if they have military assets he can use.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Well would you look at that

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

24% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck.

And America's billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer last year.

So of course, we're cutting services for working people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

What a joke.

Tom Tillis has been DESTROYING Noem for the last five minutes.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

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.
“53 billion dollars for the current fiscal year, with another 20 billion available in its “operations and support” budget—

major increase from the usual 3 billion a year

At least the State Department had a great plan in place to evacuate all the Americans from the Middle East who are trying to leave.

U.S. Embassy In Riyadh Hit By Drones, Saudi Defense Ministry Says U.S. Embassy In Riyadh Hit By Drones, Saudi Defense Ministry Says

A loud blast was reportedly heard and flames were seen at the U.S. embassy in Riyadh early on Tuesday morning.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

Only 21% of Americans Support the United States Initiating an Attack on Iran

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.

As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.

This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.

The Pentagon is hanging the White House out to dry.
