Boston 2024 initially submitted a questionable $4.7B budget w/ a $471M deficit, so realistically it would've been $5B to start.

Adjusted for inflation, Boston 2024 would be almost $7B in today's dollars.

After adjusting for inflation, military funding this year will be 26% larger than under Obama's last year. That's more than $200 billion more for the military this year than when Obama left office.

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months.
Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

Agreed💯! Massie said bombing Iran won’t bury the Trump-Epstein pedo-files & MTG echoed that even starting a nuclear war won't do it. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Yeah.... my guess is they're following and fueling strike packages of heavies from the US (B-2, B-1, B-52)

There is no bomb in the US arsenal big enough to bury The Epstein Files.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

It's obvious by now how addicted Trump is to the presidency's lethal responsibilities as commander-in-chief & turning ICE into his own secret police. He has realized he can just kill for killing's sake and get away with it.

When Trump said 10 years ago that he could shoot someone on 5th Aveune & not lose any of his supporters, what he really meant was that he can kill anyone, anywhere in the world without losing a single voter.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

To everyone wondering why ships are holding up outside the Strait of #Hormuz right now, the reason is WAR RISK INSURANCE!

Right now, every major Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Club is notifying their clients of the need for additional protection (AP).
