Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

We Should Be Hearing More About Thisβ¦.
everyone said it at the time so this isnβt novel, but the excusing of the IDF bombing schools and hospitals in Gaza was very obviously setting the stage for mass civilian murder from much bigger militaries, and most specifically the US
Surely the Presidentβs task force on antisemitism will be looking into this pronto to figure out how this could have happened.

lol. Lots of insane people perhaps
The proper way to translate this, if you want to assimilate the value of America's higher education sector into brute economic terms, is:
"Exports of one of America's world-leading industries dropped by more than a third this year."
Where's that headline in the business press?
This disgusting shit doesnβt belong in American society.
And Republicans who support it donβt belong in Congress.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. Itβs the third payroll decline in the past five months.
πNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
The other issues that the donor does not care about
Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.
Shameful.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not 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.
Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.
A couple thingsβ¦
The βconflictβ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.
And Iβm sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!
cannot stress enough how absurd it is that our government officials are mocking Iranian leadership for being delusional theocrats when they themselves genuinely believe this war is a mission from God to prepare the holy land for the Book of Revelations
The regime we like is using weapons we paid for to attack the regime we don't like, who is defending themselves using weapons we paid the last time we overthrew their leaders, but another country we're shaky with said they'll use weapons we paid for to attack us, but luckily allies have weapons we p
Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.
I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?
Look, lying is his brand. He can run around lying all he wants - who gives a shit about Jennings. My issue is with CNN - who knows all that and rewards him for it. They incentivize it. The more specularly he lies the more they pay him, as evidenced by his contract extension.
What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office
Mike Johnson's strategy to allow the Trump admin to do whatever it wants with zero oversight or congressional authority or input is just to keep the House out of session repeatedly for extended periods of time.
Excellent advice right here.
I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about
