Literally the day after Marco Rubio scolded Iran for spending money to fight wars instead of on things Iranians need, Donald Trump told everyone we can’t spend money on things we need because we are fighting wars Adjusting for GDP, USA’s war budget is ~3X Iran’s & Iran’s literacy rate is 10% higher

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

The CDC has paused testing for rabies and pox viruses. It's vital we keep a close eye on them as rabies is virtually 100% fatal without vaccination, and smallpox killed hundreds of millions (we really don't want a similar virus returning). Losing track of these viruses is a recipe for catastrophe.
