While Spending Billions on Iran War, Trump Quietly Moves to Boot Millions More Off Food Aid | Common Dreams "Americans can't afford their groceries, they can't afford their medicine, they can't afford the cost of living, and yet we're dropping a billion dollars of bombs, it seems, every day in Iran," said o...

As they spend billions on the Iran War, the Trump administration is moving to kick six million Americans off food assistance, including two million children.

I think more than what was going on with Epstein with him raping kids , we need to know why the US was protecting him.

Witkoff is pathetic.

β€œLet’s hope that they’re not sharing.” Come on, man!

Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran. As a result, seven of our troops are dead!

DJT’s response was to relax sanctions on Russia!

Jared Kushner helped cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

During Covid he seized PPE to stockpile & took millions in PPP loans.

Then he got $2B from the Saudis.

I'm not suggesting Jared's corrupt as fuck, I'm saying it outright!

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Trump’s holy warriors finally got the apocalypse they’ve prayed for Hundreds are dead. Iran is retaliating. And some of the people who helped start this war think it's going exactly as God intended.

This is terrifying:
Christian Zionists, who believe Israel must vanquish its Muslim enemies to usher in the second coming of Jesus, consider the US war w/Iran to be a prelude to the End Times.

Who or what will replace immigrants’ contributions to our economy?

They pay into Social Security and Medicare but never receive benefits. They have been propping up our social safety net programs for decades, and now they’re being imprisoned and deported.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann on Monday ruled that DJT’s administration had acted "unlawfully" in appointing 3 new officials to lead the U.S. Attorney's Office in NJβ€”the third time in 7 months that judges have concluded the administration violated the Constitution.

Public Policy Polling’s newest TX survey finds no meaningful difference in electability between Cornyn and Paxton. Cornyn trails Talarico 44-43 and Paxton trails Talarico 47-45.

While Talarico is seen favorably by Texans (a +6 favorability at 41/35), Paxton and Cornyn are unpopular.

California Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley (CD-23) switched his party affiliation to Independent! He is trying to distance himself from DJT and the repercussions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

With Kiley’s move, Republicans will have a 217-214 majority in the House, with one independent.

That sound you are *not* hearing is Donald Trump rebuking his pal Vladimir Putin for providing Iran with specific locations of American troops to kill them.

Instead, Donald is *easing* sanctions on Russia.

He is despicable.

I just donated $150 to Leticia Gutierrez’s congressional campaign in Texas’s CD-9 race.

On the GOP side, B. Cain and A. Mealer are in a 5/26 runoff. DJT endorsed the latter; Abbott endorsed the former.

It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.

Today in SE Louisiana, where they drill for oil, I paid $3.299 a gallon compared to 9 days ago when I paid $2.359. That is a 94 cent increase, so far, & the prices in other states are much higher.

The increase in gas prices will make everything else more expensive, too. #TrumpsGasProblem

EIGHT DOLLARS A GALLON.
Downtown Los Angeles.
Today.
Trump promised to lower gas prices on Day 1. Instead he started a war with Iran and gas in LA just topped $8.
This is sticker shock. This is his fault.

Everyone eligible to vote by mail or request an absentee ballot should do so NOW. Mail it back promptly!

Follow your instructions. Avoid disqualification. Every vote will be critical!

Also, check your registration status monthly. They’re going to purge eligible voters leading up to Election Day!
