There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

β€œIt mixes up different elements of the nuclear program and their potential proliferation capabilities,” Sokova said. β€œResearch reactors are not capable of doing enrichment of uranium, whether for civil or military purposes.”

Witkoff and Kushner chose not to have nuclear technical experts present during negotiations in Geneva, a senior Middle East diplomat with knowledge of the talks told MS NOW. The United States then chose to skip out on technical talks scheduled for last Monday in Vienna.

This is what happens when you send people who don't understand the issues.

According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

MacFarlane covered the Justice Department.

Why would he? Over 1 million Americans died because he A, refused to accept a pandemic "playbook" compiled by President Black Man; and, B, he told his fans to treat the pandemic as a hoax designed to defeat him.

In the end, COVID had nothing to do with it. Turnout mattered -- all 3 times.

Trump Asked How Many American Deaths He'll Accept in Iran During his Monday evening press conference, Trump was asked point-blank how many American deaths he would be willing to accept in the ongoing war with Iran.

www.mediaite.com/politics/tru... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy The number of American deaths Trump will accept? Trump refused to answer but we all know the answer. Deaths of American mean nothing to Donald Trump. He would not bat an eye if hundreds start dying each week in Iran.

Iran offers passage to other countries if they expel the US and Israeli ambassadors. I’ll be interested to see what they say about that.
tRump has poured gasoline on our relationship with our allies ever since he set foot in office will they light the match?

The Pentagon is being ran by literally fools. Iran was driven into the arms of China by US intervention. So it is not a surprise that Chinese weapons systems are being used against the US

Expert consensus: BDS-3 didn’t physically "disable" the jets. It validated the threat so effectively that it forced a "fire-at-everything" response from local batteries. The result? A friendly fire incident caused by a high-tech "track seduction" environment

The Iranian government reportedly deactivated western GPS nationwide and switched to BeiDou after experiencing significant disruptions to military and civilian navigation systems in June 2025, which they attributed to electronic warfare by the west.

If ordering the release of UFO files & starting a war with Iran isn't enough to distract us from the #EpsteinFiles, dude is ready to pull out the big guns.

The damage being inflicted by Iran to Israel and the US bases in the gulf coast indicate one thing no one is talking about:

Iran had been exercising incredible restraint -they had this capability and didn’t use it in previous attacks by the US and Israel until now

The three Alexander brothers were found guilty of sex trafficking and raping women.

New Mexico authorities launch search of ranch previously owned by Epstein β€” Guardian US The so-called Zorro Ranch was the site of numerous alleged abuses, but was not subject to intense scrutiny

The New Mexico DOJ has initiated a search of Epstein’s Zorro Ranch property. The property was said by survivors to be a place where much of the abuse of young girls by rich men took place.
Epstein had plans to impregnate as many as possible.

I am currently in SE Asia and traveling by bike, hired a van transport me n bike about 300km to a mountain province. Along the way gas stations would only sell 5L of gas per car- apparently they greedy owners ration it expecting more profit when gas go up the next day

#BlueLegacy Did anyone believe Trump’s bumbling talk about Chuck Schumer’s flex to hold up DHS funding?

DHS/ICE has an enormous budget; more money than all the services combined…170 Billion dollars to be exact.

Lindsey Graham just stop. Stop trying to go to war with every country you disagree with. MAGA doesn’t even agree with your warmongering. We aren’t in a position to help or β€œfree” anybody except God willing, ourselves at the midterms.
