The US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. It's about to get bigger. There have been recent reports that the Pentagon doesn't even know how to spend the funds. This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

I’m not sure Todd Blanche can run the DoJ when most of his time is spent making sure Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t release more of her Epstein files to the WSJ.

During COVID Trump famously remarked, if we stop tracking cases, there won’t be any So he probably thinks if we stop tracking hurricanes, pediatric cancer, or other disasters, it’ll all magically disappear And regardless of what actually happens, he’ll claim to have fixed it anyway

Americans are already struggling to pay more from Trump’s tariffs on food and goods. Now his war with Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the route for ~20% of the world’s oil — sending fuel and shipping costs soaring. Expect higher gas, groceries, flights, and more. #TrumpsGasProblem
