Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Tweet from FactPost claiming Interior Secretary Doug Burgum suggested Americans who want to protect public lands are not “financially literate.” The image shows Burgum speaking during a Fox News broadcast at a U.S. infrastructure summit in Washington, D.C.

Protecting public lands is about far more than money.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress Officials briefed the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on defense. One senator said he believes the cost is higher sin

The cost of Trump's Iran War could more than cover:

-The daily cost of Medicaid for all 16M people expected to lose it under the Big Ugly Bill.

-Daily food stamps for all 41M people who rely on them.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Iran Strikes US Radar Sites Across Gulf, Knocking Out Key Eyes Of American Missile Defence YouTube video by NDTV

What the US News isn't telling you.

The US first line of defense/offense high tech radar arrays, just a few dozen ever built, costing sometimes over $1 billion each, are being methodically eliminated by Iran drones, costing less than a used car.

Instead of lowering prices for you, Republicans are busy dreaming up new ways to make the rich even richer.

Here’s their latest idea: sidestepping Congress to hand another giant tax cut to the top 1%.

Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years.

Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.

Team Trump says (and does) all the wrong things as Russia helps Iran during the U.S. war As Russia provides intelligence that could put Americans at risk, the White House responds by easing Russian oil sanctions.

Screenshot of an X post by Really American claiming Republican Congressman Mark Alford said Americans must “sacrifice” by accepting higher gas prices to support Trump’s war with Iran. Below is a split-screen TV news segment with a female anchor on the left, a male reporter in the middle, and Congressman Alford on the right. A banner reads “BREAKING NEWS: CRUDE OIL PRICES HIT NEW HIGHS AMID WAR.”

The American people have sacrificed enough. Stop the war. Tax the billionaires.
