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 Went to War With Iran Because Jared Kushner Is a Fool Donald Trump’s top two negotiators have no clue what they’re doing.

Kushner and Witkoff are ignorant hacks, part 245,699.

"Several nuclear experts have raised questions about the disastrous duo’s technical understanding of uranium enrichment after they presented an assessment of Iran’s Research Reactor that made no sense."

ICE is spending billions to turn warehouses into migrant detention facilities.

A Trump Order Protected a Weedkiller. And Also a Weapon of War.

Trump signed an EO benefitting Bayer, the makers of cancer-linked weedkiller Roundup and deadly munitions component white phosphorus.

It came after Bayer hired top Trumpworld lobbyist Brian Ballard and spent over $9M last year on federal lobbying.

"Drain the swamp."

This presser is fucking insane.

Trump threatened to target Iranian electricity production and β€œhit them so hard that nobody can ever rebuild in that location”

That’s not a thing. Even if we nuked them.

He also said we’re bombing Iran to help China. Batshit crazy.

Trump is very determined to make everyone call the SAVE Act (it's official name) the "SAVE America Act."

And wtf does punishing trans people have to do with voting?

And he talks like it's just about voter ID, and not about sending all voter data to the feds.

Please keep calling your reps.

Trump’s β€˜roaring economy' meets a rough start to 2026 with job losses, rising gas prices and uncertainty Donald Trump promised that 2026 would be a bumper year for economic growth. Instead it's kicked off with job losses, rising gasoline prices and more uncertainty about America’s future.

In his State of the Union address less than two weeks ago, the president told the country: "The roaring economy is roaring like never before."

The latest batch of data on jobs, pump prices and the stock market suggests the roar has started to sound more like a whimper. https://to.pbs.org/4aZvFML

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.
