So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't 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.

Bombing of Iran’s oil infrastructure to have major environmental fallout, experts warn Monitors admit they are struggling to keep track of the environmental disasters arising from widening war

If these black clouds saturated with oily rain travel the world, I hope they park themselves over Trump's Golden Ballroom & Mar-a-Lago.

We are dropping an enormous number of bombs, some of which are being aimed at CIVILIAN targets – incl. apartment buildings, numerous schools, & police stations – in an attempt to create a failed state.

We are using heinous double-tap strikes, copying a tactic used by IDF.

These are WAR CRIMES.

How stupid he said.

The US government’s failed Middle East evacuation  should be a major scandal. Because if this is any indication of how they’re going to run this war? We’re screwed.

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

Trump Thinks He Can Gain Historic Glory Aaron David Miller mulls on the rationale for the ongoing U.S.-Israel attacks against Iran

Trump Thinks He Can Gain Historic Glory.. the brilliant thoughts of Aaron David Miller, putting Iran in historical context and explaining how Trump and Bibi think. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

A "little excursion" until the market closed... then back to his usual:

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Lost equivalency comparisons to hopefully help some "uncult" themselves:

"You could have had medical coverage for ____ people."

"You could have had childcare for ____ children."

"You could have had ____ rural hospitals reopened."

Federal agents lied about why they shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis. Their story quickly fell apart. The attack marked the only time that federal authorities admitted wrongdoing during Operation Metro Surge.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”

None of it was true.

Purportedly, Susie Wiles directed Patel to find a distraction from his absurd behavior regarding the Olympics men's hockey game.

This was what he came up with, using a completely different pretense.

No elected congressman worked harder to bring this to fruition than Lindsey Graham.

Working hand-in-hand with Netanyahu, Graham advised him & others on the best way to manipulate Trump's ego into compliance.

I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops".

My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops

It’d be nice if @cnn.com, and all the other networks would mention this small detail when they endlessly play video of long lines at airports.

This is on Republicans.

Iran has domestic politics — every country does, though commentary often treats them as monoliths — and one of the lasting impacts of the war could be empowering hardline factions in Iran, especially Revolutionary Guard.

It's not about guts, you moronic imbecile, safely ensconced in your studio.

It's about literal insurance policies NOT being issued to protect business owners against loss.

PROFOUND ignorance.
