US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

#Trump and the #Ellisons are corrupting a large portion of media entities. The #SEC will of course approve the #Paramount/Skydance take over of #WarnerBros, and we can only hope that the debt load sinks them into oblivion. Make no mistake that this is a monopoly that will need to be broken up.

Reading something about how (depending on the platform) something like 1% to 10% of people actually post or interact and everyone else just passively scrolls. We need more people to become posters or at least repliers, otherwise we're going to keep getting the same three jokes about coddle forever

I'm sure I've had a number of things cooler than Donald Trump come with my breakfast cereal, not to mention my #CrackerJack box.

I got a red whistle shaped like a 1950s style racing car in the mid-1960s. It didn't work, no matter how hard I blew into it, until one day in the middle of a class. 🀣

While spending billions on Iran war, Trump quietly moves to boot millions more off food aid "Americans can't afford their groceries, they can't afford their medicine, they can't afford the cost of living, and yet we're dropping a billion dollars of bombs, it seems, every day in Iran," said one Senate Democrat.

"Trump administration is quietly pursuing a regulatory change that would strip federal nutrition assistance from an estimated 6 million low-income Americansβ€”including nearly two million childrenβ€”as it spends billions on an illegal, open-ended war on Iran."
