Trump has called on Congress to pass a record $1.5T defense budget.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering right now.
The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.
I get emails from candidates every day, asking for money. Often they are attacked as "woke liberals". Every liberal needs to accurately paste the epithet "Epstein Class Thug" on their opponents. It goes to the heart of it. What the nation faces. What those politicians are. That is truly damning.
nothin' suspicious about this at all
Consumer watchdog agency asks court for permission to slash its workforce by two-thirds
The argument that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can carry out its duties with one-third the staff is "laughable," a union official said.

Hegseth must go.
I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.
Working families paid the price of Trump's illegal tariffs.
Congress needs to fix this. Send rebate checks to families, not corporations.
If we bought a few less bombs, we could probably afford nice things.
One thing I'd like to see from the next presidency would be to appoint a special commission to prepare a report on the actual cost to defend the United States from attack.
Not foreign wars.
Just the cost to defend this country.
Nothing to see here. Just the government destroying our public lands
Think about this: A retired game show host may end the world as we know it. Only a master satirist could write this scenario, but Mark Twain is dead.

Well, Netahnyahu and the Zionist lobby owns Trump and they've bought Kushner; they own the government, mainstream media, Hollywood, and more; they've pretty much outlawed support for Palestine, so...
It is hard to imagine what it would take for this to change. Protests, elections, boycotts? Nope.
Not exactly. There are plenty of progressives and liberals who want their businesses. Their cafes. Their YouTube channels. Their marketing firms. Their side hustles. They just want the market well-regulated. Robust regulations, well-funded regulatory bodies, enforcement. It's called a Mixed Economy.
No, you hadn't told me you voted for Kamala. So I didn't know I was wasting my time being mad at someone who had. I was arguing that there was absolutely no excuse not to vote for Kamala, given her opponent. Get the logic straight.
Fair enough on your vote for her. I misunderstood.
But I still disagree with your glib assessment in defense of those who did not vote her solely because of Gaza. There were a lot of things to consider in that election, especially all the harm Trump would inflict. And predictably now is inflicting.

The I blame you for Trump and all the damage he is doing worldwide. You can't excuse yourself from the equation. You essentially voted for a dictator...and the consequences.
Doesn't excuse installing a dictatorship that is killing MILLIONS.
They are aggressively attacking science, including medical research.
The NIH manages ALL government-funded medical research on $47B. That's 2-3 weeks of the Iran War, if you include both the cost of conducting the war & its economic impact on consumers & workers. $9/person/day. All 330M of us.
Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich.
They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people.
Nothing trickles down.
May very well have been the deciding votes.
It's not going to take 10, 20 years. AGI may emerge in 1, 2 years. It will break the socioeconomic mold for everyone.
