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.

Kristi Noem has used $200M+ in taxpayer funds to pay firms with close ties to her top aides to make anti-immigrant PSAs. Her luxury jets will cost taxpayers nearly $300M. Trump's lackeys rail against "government waste," but are happy to pilfer taxpayer funds for themselves.

The White House wants an extra $50 billion to fund Trump’s illegal war. That’s on top of the Pentagon’s $1T budget — which Trump is trying to boost to $1.5T. Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private corporations and the Pentagon has failed eight financial audits in a row.

Trump fired Kristi Noem. It wasn't because her immigration agents murdered American citizens. Or the repeated violations of due process. Or even her mismanagement of FEMA. No, Noem was fired because she upstaged Trump. He wants to be on Mt. Rushmore, after all. This is the mind of our president.
