Trump’s endless Iran war has so far cost American households $1000 out of pocket, Moody’s Analytics reports. Note the cost of rebuilding damagedmilitary bases in the Mideast could cost $5 billion.

Will take 3 years for USA to replenish critical weapons systems squandered in Trump’s incompetent, vanity war against Iran. Tomahawk cruise missiles, Patriot interceptors, and THAAD interceptors now in short supply.

“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”

He's now nodded off multiple times in front of an audience in the Oval Office. But I haven't heard the corporate media mention it once. Imagine if Joe Biden had done this even once?! It's mind-boggling! This man was never mentally fit for office, but now he's a mental and physical wreck.

One day after news broke that Republicans want to spend at least $1 billion taxpayer dollars for a ballroom Trump said would be privately funded and cost one-fifth that amount, Trump claims it will cost "something less than 400 Million Dollars." The math ain't mathing.

Hillary Clinton testified for 11 hours regarding Benghazi and 6 hours regarding Epstein because she didn’t have anything to hide, yet bribe for hire Pam Bondi is illegally refusing to show up to a deposition regarding Epstein because she has everything to hide. Lock Pam up.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

Why are ICE agents tricked out in combat gear while on airport duty? What are they afraid of? Just show up in coat and tie to help behind the scenes and stay out of passengers’ way.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Edward R. Murrow famously used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. He got his start on CBS Radio, which will sadly be shut down after nearly 100 years of operation. We need more journalists holding the powerful accountable like this.

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."
