Lemme get this straight...

Trump's out there bombing Iran claiming to the media that he’s getting rid of nukes and flipping the regime…

But in a classified briefing with the Senate, the administration straight up admits:

🧵

What sacrifice has sycophant Roger Marshall and his ilk made?

ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA.

Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol.

It's shameful.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

In fairness, it's easier to like a war when you're not the ones paying for it.

What was the Sykes-Picot agreement, and why does it still affect the Middle East today? The Sykes-Picot agreement is one of many colonial projects that we are still feeling the ripples of today.

Once you learn that a bunch of white colonialist empires decided to arbitrarily divided up the Middle East with no regard for ethnic or even geographic concerns after World War 1, everything about the region being a hotbed of conflict makes way more sense.

Americans are already struggling to pay more from Trump’s tariffs on food and goods. Now his war with Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the route for ~20% of the world’s oil — sending fuel and shipping costs soaring. Expect higher gas, groceries, flights, and more.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?

Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”

Scores of children were killed at school. A deeply horrific killing because of a war of choice.

Secretary Hegseth cannot sweep this under the rug.

There needs to be a full and impartial investigation—we need answers and then accountability.

PSA for Tennessee media: you are either calling out Rep Ogles’ racism for what it is, or you are normalizing it. There is no third option.

Melanie Stansbury: “While this Administration is spending nearly $1 billion a day on a war in the Middle East that has now claimed the lives of 7 U.S. service members & doing the bidding of billionaires — Americans are struggling to put food on the table & a roof over their heads”

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.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Riddle me this, Fatman.

I’m just curious if any of the disgusting juvenile delinquents making the ridiculous war glorification videos for the White House ever served in combat. Or even served in the military at all.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Thanks, Ian.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

This pretty much says it all...and then some.

Please keep our military men and women in your thoughts.
