On Monday, a federal watchdog revealed that the Defense Secretary burned through $93 billion to use up the Pentagon’s budget by the end of the fiscal year in 2025. Must be nice!

They were ordered to make ICE their main priority.
Guess he conveniently forgot about the missiles. 🤷🏻♀️ 💥
Bloated from all the shellfish and alcohol! Lol 😝
Great satire reveals great truths.
Trump:
“Based on what Jared Kushner told me, I thought Iran would attack us.”
Not his intelligence agencies. His fucking son-in-law.
Oppose this! Don't give those rats (Repubs) a path off their sinking ship of State! Make them walk the gangplank!
Witkoff admits he and Jared Kusher are communicating with Russia through Putin adviser Yuri Ushakov "independently." Witkoff goes on to say the Russians told them they are not sharing info with Iran. Pinky promised.
Who wants to help me repo the Steinway piano and the luxury fruit baskets? I want my fucking money back.
WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?
CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.
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"
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Hey tRump, who’s your daddy?
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
How did his hour long phone call with Vlad go today??? #PutinPuppet
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
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.
Glad someone is sounding the bell!!
A graphic with a dark blue background and a photo of Congressman John Larson. The text quotes him saying, “Social Security isn't an entitlement. It's an EARNED BENEFIT. We shouldn't be cutting your benefits so billionaires can get more tax breaks. They need to pay their fair share!”
Any politician or pundit who says we “can’t afford” to protect and expand Social Security is lying.
Social Security is fully affordable if we require the wealthiest among us to contribute their fair share.
Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.
Ditto.😔
TRUMP IS ESSENTIALLY PAYING THE RUSSIANS TO TELL IRAN WHERE OUR TROOPS ARE:
Trump waived part of the Russian oil embargo. So Iran’s ally Russia can sell MORE oil to get more $ and spend it to gather more info on where American assets are

it would be pretty funny if a fuel crisis caused regime change in the US before it did in cuba
I looked up the Board of Peace website.
No news since 22 January.
Trump says (on the site) that it has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created.
I’d love someone to ask him why it hasn’t featured in his Iran strategy.

What bothers you more, the price of a gallon of gas or the loss of innocent lives? #EndTheWarNow
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
Had to doublecheck the date on this
They look like flying chihuahuas! So cute!
