The Iran War is out of control. Gas prices are about to hit record highs. Families are struggling to make ends meet. The threat of AI looms.

But Republicans already delivered tax cuts for corporations and billionaires — so Mike Johnson is sending the House home.

War with Iran. Fighting with allies. Embracing dictators. Upending the global trading system.

None of this is inevitable. A different American foreign policy is possible.

"Moulton and his colleagues pointed to depleted munitions stockpiles, rising energy costs and a far lengthier war than the weekslong foray that Mr. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promised when they began bombing Iran at the end of February."

however much you think the iran war is sapping u.s. military readiness, it's probably more than that.
