I think 10 years is very generous. Many are 20-25 years behind solid research. The exception being when there’s a new pharmaceutical treatment being marketed.

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.

I do need the American people to stop viewing Trumpism as blunderous policy failure.

It is a full court press to subjugate you into poverty and despair. There is no witticism or gotchya or logical superiority that can combat that.

Can we investigate which Congress members moved all their money out of the stock market the day before the war started?

Here are some suggestions

Lindsey Graham
Mike Johnson
Jim Jordan
Chuck Grassley
John Thune
Susan Collins

This is super exciting. But I can’t help but be skeptical we will ever see these in the US. I hope I’m wrong.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

You are correct. There is zero reason to interpret this charitably. Mothers (myself included) are very right to be worried. We have a reckless, incompetent, and volatile administration that fetishizes war and killing people.

ICE Detention of Teen Musicians Roils Texas Mariachi Community Two brothers who were recognized by their congresswoman last year, along with their parents and younger brother, are facing deportation.

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

I think the SC rapes took place in the early 1980s, but I seem to recall the diary girl had a DOB in the early 1980s, so couldn’t be the same person.

Why does the article protect the name of Jim Atkins’s employer? What Cincinnati-based college did he work for? It doesn’t implicate the college to name them, but it feels like an important detail that shouldn’t be omitted.

We have to stop him before he does this. I don’t know how, but he’s got to be reigned in.

If we start the war, we target schools and freshwater facilities, and we out-murder the other side 38:1, what does that make us? Who wouldn’t hate us for this?

In the aftermath of what Iran describes as US‑Israeli‑led β€œpre‑emptive” aggression, Tehran has launched several rounds of retaliatory strikes against Israeli targets and US assets across the region, reportedly resulting in casualties of 500 American soldiers.

In a post on X, Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani condemned US President Donald Trump for supporting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military strategy, which he argued has drawn the United States into an unjust conflict and placed American troops in harm’s way.

Larijani stated that Iran would continue its response to what it views as foreign aggression, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and avenge the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
