Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

Graphic with a photo of Senator Elizabeth Warren speaking. Text reads: β€œWe spend almost a billion dollars a day on the military. When someone says we can’t afford healthcare, childcare, or paid family leave, the answer is simple. It’s about our priorities.” Elizabeth Warren is identified as U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.

Exactly.
The priorities are clear.

When leaders declare they are ready to cross β€œall red lines,” it signals a dangerous phase where escalation replaces restraint. Wars framed as decisive victories often drift into wider conflicts, leaving civilians, regional stability, and global security to absorb the consequences.

US War Secretary: Washington Prepared to Cross 'All Red Lines' to Defeat Iran US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Washington is prepared to escalate its strategy and cross β€œall red lines” to secure victory in the war against Iran.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Washington is ready to cross β€œall red lines” to defeat Iran as the war escalates across the region. The rhetoric signals a willingness to intensify military action even as attacks and retaliation widen the conflict’s regional and global risks.

Yeah, so much for your 2.4% inflation increase in February. The war just blew that out of the water. No one the global markets are in a full-blown panic. If gas prices rise, everything rises. Merchandise has to be delivered somehow to various markets.

ICE just picked the same company that provides security for Alligator Alcatraz to turn its mega warehouse in Surprise, AZ into a 1,500-bed detention center.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

The Fate of the First Amendment The Defense Department announced is barring press photographers from the briefings it holds on the war in Iran.

When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The Iranian terrorist state developed Shahed drones; the Russian terrorist state mass-produces them.

The Russia-Iran axis uses strike UAVs to attack Ukraine, the Gulf States and the U.S. military.

Loyal to Putin, Trump helps the Russia-Iran axis kill Americans. He is a traitor.
