"You can't say the cost of a puppy is $200 because that was the adoption fee." The Pentagon's $25B price tag does exactly that — it ignores veterans' care, disability payments, and decades of interest. The true cost of war shows up long after the fighting stops.

The United States has its own “Strait of Hormuz” except it surrounds Cuba, it’s impoverishing the nation and they are trying to force a governmental collapse. This is War Crime.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Democrats have been playing defense - and losing at it - for too long. Make first contact. Stop reacting, and act. Play unfair.

Iran is about as close to getting a nuclear weapon as Donald Trump is to getting a Nobel Peace Prize.

They've repealed Roe v Wade. They've repealed the Voting Rights Act. They're banning women wherever they can - from the military leadership, to the USDA Soy Bean Council. Had enough yet?

They don't directly ask the 12 Trump voters the question, so I'll ask and answer for them: Times: If you had to go back and choose between Trump and Harris again, would you choose Trump, or Harris? 12 Trump Voters: I'd choose Trump again. Because we all know it's true.
