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.

Trump DOJ offers a deferred prosecution agreement to Halkbank, the Turkish state-run bank charged with laundering billions in Iranian oil money.

Trump repeatedly tried to end this case in his first termβ€”per John Bolton, as a favor to one of the "dictators he liked" (i.e. Erdogan).

This stupid mother fucker is talking about that goddamn ballroom again. Just got done talking a minute ago about how he isn’t going to be distracted from the war he started Saturday. Maybe confused by similar giant craters in East Wing and Tehran? #sendBarron #OperationEpsteinFury

Be sure to register to vote if you haven’t. NPR has the information you need.

If you are registered, check to make sure you’re still active & not purged. Check periodically. Your state’s Secretary of State (SoS) may have a portal for this.

I once was accosted by someone to sign their copy of Tommyknockersβ€”I looked a bit similar to one of the 70s King jacket photos and the person would not take no for an answer. Ended up being my Jeopardy story!

Unfortunately the β€˜misconduct in public office’ apparently was sharing confidential trade information with Epstein rather than raping little girls. Because economic spying is infinitely worse than raping little girls among the Epstein class.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
