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.

Throughout history, waging war has always been part of the authoritarian playbook.

Donald Trump’s war in Iran is the latest example. Watch.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

3 ICE vehicles were in a parking lot of a Columbia Heights restaurant on Central Ave this afternoon and there was a potential ICE vehicle by Pillsbury at pick up today.

A lot of politicians think it’s time to move on, but how can we move on when this isn’t even over.

Three news reports over the weekend show we are nowhere near the end of what the Epstein files still can reveal. Key details from a victim corroborated, a cover-up in plain sight, and sketchy cash payments all raise big questions. My write-up in the replies.

Jeffries loves to condemn Trump for wasting money on the war on Iran, but is too cowardly to commit to blocking additional funding for said illegal war.

You won’t find a more feckless leader in a more critical time than Jeffries & Schumer. Cowardice personified.

This dictator doesn't have the power to decide whether there are midterms. We are going to have them whether he likes it or not. Presidential approval matters a great deal in midterms. So the polls *do* matter.

New Quinnipiac poll shows Trump continuing to crater:

37-57 overall approval
39-58 on economy
38-57 on handling of Iran

The kicker: 55% say Iran did NOT pose an imminent threat to the US, while only 39% say it did

He's really settling in at that 38% number on many fronts, isn't he

Israel is why I can’t see any way for Trump and Iran to simply call the whole thing off. Israel has fully committed to this war, presumably because it scored the coup of getting Big Brother Trump to commit to regime change. If Trump walks out now they’re stuck with a furious and undefeated Iran!

Trump’s characteristic desire to simply walk away relies on the idea that walking away will be painless and everyone will let him get away with it as usual. But why would Israel let him? They’ve got him there and they want to keep him there, and can probably do that by continuing to fight.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.

We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.

Fears of 1970s-style stagflation arise with oil spike to $100. How big a threat is it? High inflation and slow growth present a double threat, as measures like interest rate cuts and government spending only aggravate inflation.
