Doctor involved in Tony Carruthers’ botched execution administered Christa Pike’s lethal injection — and she’s still alive

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... ICE detention staff reported death of restrained man as a suicide Lunas Campos is the third detainee in two months to die at Camp East Montana, a giant tent encampment that the Trump administration erected last summer in Texas near the border with Mexico.

ICE detention staff reported death of restrained man as a suicide
The statements to 911 operators the night Geraldo Lunas Campos died appear to conflict with autopsy’s later finding of ‘homicide.’

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

No one went hungry in the presence of Jesus, and no one should live with food scarcity in a land filled with supposed Christians. SNAP is an expression of compassion for human beings. That’s exactly why MAGA Evangelicals want to destroy it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/jesus-fed-...
