The US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. It's about to get bigger.
There have been recent reports that the Pentagon doesn't even know how to spend the funds.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

I’m not sure Todd Blanche can run the DoJ when most of his time is spent making sure Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t release more of her Epstein files to the WSJ.

During COVID Trump famously remarked, if we stop tracking cases, there won’t be any
So he probably thinks if we stop tracking hurricanes, pediatric cancer, or other disasters, it’ll all magically disappear
And regardless of what actually happens, he’ll claim to have fixed it anyway

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

TSA workers are working without pay without option. Homeland Security is rolling in dough and could pay them. They are choosing instead to put more into ICE.
And suggesting we give TSA folks gift cards to help them.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

Americans are already struggling to pay more from Trump’s tariffs on food and goods. Now his war with Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the route for ~20% of the world’s oil — sending fuel and shipping costs soaring. Expect higher gas, groceries, flights, and more.
