Search-and-rescue crews were β€œflying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

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.
