We are giving Israel $2.8 billion worth of bombs?
Why are we providing bombs for genocide?

@epi.org).

But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare.

Priorities.

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

Rice: The world is looking at this and seeing the United States and Israel throwing the military kitchen sink at Iran and failing.

Whoa! Pentagon officials are warning of Navy payroll shortfalls after funds meant for service member pay were raided to help cover war costs.

The President’s Canada Tariffs will hit our Great Lakes region hardest—driving costs up for families already struggling to make ends meet. The average Ohio household will see a $2,274 increase in costs and some border Districts, and communities like NW Ohio could see costs go up by over $5,000.

The federal budget deficit for July was $432 billion.

That's not the total for the first 7 months. That is JUST THE MONTH OF JULY.

That's the largest monthly deficit in US history. It is even larger than during the height of the pandemic when US government spending was keeping the economy alfoat.
