Bessent says the Trump admin may now lift sanctions on even more Russian oil to try and reduce oil prices during Trump’s war. This would provide a massive injection of cash to fund Putin’s war machine.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Dollars spent don't capture the human cost of this war, but the dollars spent represent a stark choice.

"Priced at around $2.2 million, a single Tomahawk missile could cover 775 children on Medicaid for a year or provide more than 3,600 children with meals in the National School Lunch Program."

Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.

92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?

There were similar scenes playing out all over the world at ports of entry in 2021 during Covid as shipping was frozen in many places causing global inflation. But here in the US, we blamed Biden for that because we have a lot of stupid people.

Hungary halted gasoline and diesel deliveries, and plans to stop transit of things "important to Ukraine," PM Orbán said.

"Until order is restored, we will use every step and every available tool. We have already stopped gasoline deliveries to Ukraine, we are not delivering diesel either.

I’m with Rep Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) we need answers and we need answers now. Trump and the Pentagon are reportedly planning on sending 23,000 troops to all 50 states. Elbridge Colby won’t answer basic questions about this plan. Unacceptable, we need to stay on this story.👀

And they wonder why we are upset about ICE and them kidnapping people based on the color of their skin. If anyone is a citizen of the United States, this lady fits the bill to a tee.

For the latest Time cover story titled "Trump's War," which was published on Thursday, March 5, correspondent Eric Cortellessa questioned Trump about the details of the unfolding war with Iran. In a pointed moment, he was asked whether it's reasonable for Americans to have concerns about being attacked at home.

“I guess,” Trump, 79, responded. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things."

"Like I said, some people will die," the president added. "When you go to war, some people will die."

When I think this Congress can’t get anymore vile and disgusting, they prove me wrong.

Only 65 of us voted to release names of congressmen who have used the sexual harassment slush fund to pay off claims against them.

House votes 357 - 65.

“I guess”: Trump gives wrong response about possible Iranian reprisals on U.S. soil The president has given every indication that he doesn’t want to be bothered about the consequences of his war in Iran.

OPINION by MS NOW political contributor @stevebenen.com:

"Trump apparently doesn’t want to be bothered about consequences. To the contrary, there’s reason to believe he and his team want to have fun with the war."

The economic story just changed dramatically.

Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.

Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.

Recession questions are back on the menu

John Fetterman (Pa.)
Maggie Hassan (N.H.)
Tim Kaine (Va.)
Andy Kim (N.J.)
Gary Peters (Mich.)
Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)
Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)

These Dem Senators have one thing in common. They all voted for Kristie Noem to head the DHS. Fetterman is a lost cause but the rest better not approve Mullin.

There is a saying that when plans for war are made, the enemy has a say. Well, in this case, so do allies who are disproportionately affected.

Energy market analysts say the impact of the Iran War on supply could be bigger than the 1973 oil embargo.
