Every day that Mad King Donald is still alive means many other people will die in America and around the world.

Every single day.

It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.

Russia has been sharing satellite imagery of U.S. warships and aircraft with Iran, helping Tehran target American forces.

Ukraine, in contrast, has deployed specialists and low-cost drone interceptors to help protect the U.S. and its allies.

Russia = our enemy πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί
Ukraine = our ally πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.

Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

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.

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

Elizabeth Warren: β€œFor the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”
