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.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

Ilhan Omar: “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability— Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions & push the region further into chaos — every time we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction”

You can’t expect a treasonous 5x draft dodging trashy criminal to properly and respectfully honor the fallen troops that he’s responsible for killing. I truly hate him.

During what was supposed to be the dignified transfer of the remains of the 6 US service members killed in Trump's war of choice in the Middle East, Trump chose to wear a campaign hat. Yeah, a campaign hat. For the transfer of the remains of fallen Americans who died because of his poor decisions.

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now. Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone. Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again. No human should experience war. Period.

I’ve been saying this for 10 years!! "I need to make this very clear. This hatred for Donald Trump was never about Republican vs Democrat. Trump is a horrible human. Horrible humans should not be put in charge of hundreds of millions of good humans. It's not complicated." Senator Bernie Sanders

He is fucking clueless

I hang my head in shame, as an American and a veteran. “A society that can laugh at “quiet death” is a society with a broken soul.”

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon: “So he is using YOUR Tax Dollars to protect oil tankers from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause gas prices to go up — because he started a war using YOUR Tax Dollars”

There have been some very bad developments today.

😢😢😢

Biden: "We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values we have. And I don't think I'm exaggerating."

Kristi Noem WAS NOT FIRED. Trump announced Kristi Noem will be the Special Envoy for "The Shield of the Americas." SHE WILL BE GETTING A TAXPAYER-FUNDED SALARY. People who get fired are removed. This is a keep your mouth shut move, not a firing. Sen. Mullin is Noem with smaller testicles.

A budget is a moral document.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

We bombed a girls elementary school.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Well… yea it is!

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran. And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program? This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not 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.

It’s FINALLY hitting you? Damn you’re DENSE!

This is how you write a goddamn headline.

Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

Nailed it

Amen 🙌🙌🙌

Evidently, I'm not the only one who thinks so. digbysblog.net/2026/03/03/w...

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Gallego: "Young American men and women are dying because of these idiots"

Hillary Clinton goes off on Republicans after it’s revealed unauthorized images of her were released: I'm done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?" HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

Gonna ask my MAGA acquaintances this...

Boebert: Have you reviewed any Epstein files that were released that you believe reference or relate to those specific 2016 claims regarding the Podesta emails Comet ping pong pizza used as code possibly. Clinton: Pizzagate was totally made up. I can't believe you're even referencing it

OF COURSE Iran is fighting back! OF COURSE the conflict is spreading! What did they think would happen? The US is being run by half-wits…
