If you need the real news watch CBC or BBC. They correct every Trump lie. Which is pretty much everything he says.

DOJ refuses to rule out immigration enforcement access to voter data “Your honor, I can honestly say I do not know the answer to that,” a DOJ attorney said.

When asked by a judge whether Attorney General Pam Bondi could use private voter data to see every voter’s legal status and utilize it for immigration enforcement, one DOJ attorney admitted:

“Your honor, I can honestly say I do not know the answer to that.”

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.

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

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.

everything feels so pointless

hard to break that mindset when im 25 and have never had more than $1k, have no solid career prospect, and the government can just make my existence illegal any day

no amount of personal achievement can fix that

i at least wish i could punish the instigators

Counterpoint: Limiting how US troops can be used illegally in unconstitutional wars of the president’s own choosing *IS* supporting “the troops.”

Diesel prices are climbing even faster than gas prices. Here’s why you should care | CNN Business American drivers notice soaring gas prices. But another fuel – diesel – is also on the rise, and at a much faster pace.

www.cnn.com/2026/03/08/b...
Since the fighting started in Iran a week ago, gasoline prices are up 47 cents, or 16%, to $3.45 for a gallon of regular.

But that’s nothing compared to the 84 cent increase, or 22% rise in diesel prices, taking a gallon of that critical fuel to $4.60.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

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.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.
