"In the end, American consumers paid $159b in nat'l sales taxes for which most will never be reimbursed a penny. And rather than those taxes being used by the federal govt to, say, repave roads or build bridges, most of the money will instead provide corporate windfalls." — @schaller67.bsky.social

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.
