Trump just burned $100 billion on a war with Iran. Imagine if that went to lowering costs, fixing infrastructure, or helping veterans instead. They said there wasn’t enough money for ordinary Americans. Turns out there was…just not for you. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/212846/...

Trump Has Blown More Than $100 Billion on Iran War
That total is more than triple what federal officials had previously estimated.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

16 Trucking Companies Just Went Bankrupt in 30 Days
At least 16 U.S. trucking and logistics companies have filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the past month. The freight sector is under serious pressure.
Soaring diesel prices are the biggest culprit. Rising insurance rates, equipment maintenance, and labor costs are piling on. Some carriers filed Chapter 11 to restructure their debt and keep trucks rolling.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
