At about 1:20 in here, Hegseth says: "Theocratic regimes should never have access to nuclear weapons." Note: Hegseth's current pastor, Doug Wilson — who Hegseth has had *preach at the Pentagon* — has openly called for the U.S. to be a Christian theocracy. www.youtube.com/live/zXd567G...

Trump and Republicans handed YOUR tax dollars to Big Tech companies like Meta and Amazon. So how much of your money is subsidizing their data centers and AI spending? You deserve the truth. I'm pushing these companies – the same ones that are donating to Trump – for answers.

A Trump White House energy adviser helped override state law and court orders to restart an old and dormant pipeline on the Central Coast responsible for one of the state’s worst oil spills. Now she’s a top executive for the company that owns the pipeline.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

1. The Pentagon has refused to provide an accurate accounting of the costs of the Iran War, so Popular Information crunched the numbers. The DIRECT COSTS are at least $103 BILLION in the first 120 days. This is $73 billion more than the latest official estimate.

Testifying before the House Appropriations Committee last week, Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought said the US had spent $30 billion on the Iran War.

TL;DR of today's newsletter: ICE is shooting people again. It's doing so in service of a mass deportation agenda that is, more than any other policy, the routinization and institutionalization of Trumpian cruelty. So: Oppose mass deportation. And abolish ICE. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.
