Illustration of the person resembling Ysayle that shows up in a flash during patch 7.56 of Final Fantasy XIV. They have their eyes closed and a serene expression, with their hair flowing into the wind. The background is a blue sky and, at the bottom, a sea of clouds permeates it. The texture of the piece is made to callback to weaving, with it either slowly falling apart or reassembling at the seams.

NEAR DARK is still the best American vampire film. It rejects most European/gothic tropes and rewrites the vampires as purely American myth figures: bikers, cowboys, traveling serial killers, Civil War soldiers, and gangsters.

Marsha Blackburn has cost the US tax payer at least $52.3 billion. Blackburn’s record on Israel and Iran has a human and financial cost.
Marsha Blackburn has cost the US tax payer at least $52.3 billion. Blackburn’s record on Israel and Iran has a human and financial cost.

More than 74,000 innocent people have been reported killed in Gaza since October 2023 using the weapons she advocated for and voted to pay for with YOUR money. In the Iran war, thousands have been killed, including civilians, while the Pentagon’s official accounting listed 19 US service-member deaths by late September.

Blackburn has repeatedly supported continued US military backing for Israel and opposed congressional efforts to end unauthorised US hostilities with Iran.

She co-introduced a $14.3 BILLION Israel aid package, paid with YOUR tax dollars and called for Israel to receive the weapons and munitions it needed no matter the cost to YOUR pockets.

The Iran war she supports had already cost the Pentagon approximately $38 BILLION by 1 August 2026. It has also led to a global energy crisis that YOU are now paying for at the gas pump and grocery stores.

Put those two policy figures together: $52.3 BILLION — $52,300,000,000.Meanwhile, more than $100 MILLION has been raised or spent supporting Blackburn throughout her political career, according to campaign-finance reporting. Major backers include billionaire Jeff Yass and Club for Growth, Americans for Prosperity, payday lender Advance Financial and interests connected to private-prison operator CoreCivic. Some operate in industries benefiting from government contracts, regulatory exemptions or policies they advocate.

Her record extends beyond war. Blackburn received about $120,000 in pharmaceutical-industry campaign contributions while supporting legislation later criticised for weakening the DEA’s ability to stop suspicious opioid shipments.

Her campaign finances have also faced scrutiny. Her federal campaign transferred $4.8M to Club for Growth Action, while closely connected organisations subsequently moved about $4.81M into a Tennessee PAC supporting her gubernatorial campaign. Reporting did not establish that the transactions were illegal.

The documented record is therefore substantial: Blackburn has supported military policies associated with tens of billions of dollars in public spending during conflicts involving mass civilian death, while more than $100M has been raised or spent supporting her political career.

The record is stark: more than $100M raised or spent supporting Blackburn’s political career, while she backed billions in military spending and repeatedly supported policies that sustained wars marked by mass civilian death. Follow the money, follow the votes and look at who paid the price on YOUR dime.
