The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.
