$2000. That's how much your household has already spent this year on Trump's Middle East War. Congressional Republicans won’t lift a finger. It’s time to vote them out.

Real wages are shrinking year-over-year for the sixth month in a row. The Iran War brought an end to three years of real wage growth.

This is pretty wild. While the total turnout in VA so far is 23% below where it was at the same point in '24 (expected, given that '24 was a presidential year), total Hispanic turnout is almost 50% ahead of the same point in '24.

NEWS: Trump's war in Iran has cost taxpayers almost $40 BILLION and drove nearly HALF of inflation. It's a conservative estimate, excluding damage to U.S. bases, destroyed munition supplies, and higher costs like gas and groceries—per the Congressional Budget Office.

It's bad that the central rule of US diplomacy is now "sometimes the president just says crap, and sometimes he justs post crap, and neither is the official position of the United States, except sometimes seriously but not literally, or sometimes literally, or sometimes it is. You'll find out."

Voting by noncitizens is extremely rare. Infinitessimal. Never outcome-changing. Why? Because it is punishable as a felony that carries the potential for deportation. But Republicans need an excuse to explain why they lost the midterms. So they invented a solution in search of a problem.

Noncitizen voting claims animate Trump's attacks on midterms and set up potential result challenges
President Donald Trump and his allies are pressing hard about the perceived threats of voting by people who aren't U.S. citizens as the November election approach.
