Watch your money go up in smoke in real time. Fuck, this is depressing to watch. The war in Iran has cost U.S. taxpayers $6.4 billion in 6 days — that's $1 billion per day, per the Pentagon's own estimate. Track the running total: iran-cost-ticker.com

And the coal ash isn't going to be dumped into the drinking water on Martha's Vineyard, the gated billionaire islands around Miami, or any tech bro enclaves — it will be dumped in the usual "national sacrifice zones."

ICE detain man with autism using illegal chokehold—threaten to shoot mom with taser. He does not comprehend much English or Spanish—mom was just trying to explain his disability to agents. 26-year-old is legally in U.S. under the DACA program—with renewal papers up to date. Garcia Cruz’s mother said her son has relied on her since birth due to his developmental challenges—and still needs her assistance with basic daily tasks. She is deeply concerned about his safety and ability to fend for himself while locked up in jail. Chokeholds are explicitly prohibited under ICE policy unless the legal standard for imminent deadly force is met. Incident occurred in Hendry County, Florida. #DemsUnited

@zilch_abby @LindseyGrahamSC What fucking job? Lady G is one of the biggest Bend Over Buddys Israel has.

President Trump said it best: @LindseyGrahamSC is the only man for the job!

The greatest music video of all time.

@badscbeach I hate to tell you this but I’m in Norman’s district and he’s not a good fit here either.

In my humble opinion Rep. Norman is a good fit for his border district that fit doesn’t work for our governor who serves the entire state.

New York City’s Mayor just said what most elected officials won’t. “We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.” Mamdani didn’t stop there. Thousands of civilians killed. Tens of billions spent. And every program that gets called “unrealistic” — housing, healthcare, schools — costs a fraction of what this war has already burned through. He’s right.

Bombshell from the AP: The Trump Administration was caught using bogus “fraud” data to investigate blue states. Is anyone surprised?

ICE detain 2 elementary students—deport them within 48 hours. 'This week ICE crossed a new alarming line," said lawyer. "Children are being targeted." They were deported with nothing but the clothes on their backs—to place where they have no home, no belongings, nor resources. 6-year-old Denis and 11-year-old Genesis—both students at Burton Magnet Elementary School—were detained with their parents while attending an asylum hearing. Their phones and documents were taken away before being driven away in unmarked van with dark tinted windows—so they couldn't even wave goodbye to their family. "If we do everything according to the law we can still get kidnapped in the middle of the day and taken away... What are people supposed to do?" Incident occurred in Durham, North Carolina.

@SecRollins @USDA @forestservice

Last week we announced we will move @forestservice HQ to Salt Lake City — closer to the actual forests we protect, not farther away. We’re not dismantling anything. We’re FIXING it and empowering career Forest Service leaders to be even nimbler. In 2025, we had the highest wildfire starts since 2016… yet we cut average acres burned in half, SAVING nearly 1 million acres. That didn’t happen by accident. We went faster, deployed more crews earlier, hit fires harder, and used proven science-based management. President Trump’s orders are crystal clear: restore and protect America’s forests from devastating wildfires and make the Forest Service the best in the world again. A huge shout out to the incredible @forestservice team and wildland firefighters. Humbled to serve you every day. breitbart.com/politics/2026/…

@PamelaEvette @henrymcmaster @TPUSA The life and legacy of a smooth-brained bigot podcaster? What a fucking joke.

The future of South Carolina just became a little brighter as Gov. @henrymcmaster proclaimed today @TPUSA Day! As we continue to honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, I am honored to spearhead a statewide initiative to put Club America chapters at every high school in S.C. Make no mistake, I’ll stand with these brave, young people as they bring free thinking and civic engagement to their schools.

@thatdudekiki @TPUSA @henrymcmaster @tpusastudents So much so that you couldn’t help but comment. Manipulating you must be a snap. 😉

@rays5906 @TPUSA @henrymcmaster @tpusastudents Omggg. Such a BRAVE & original comment.

A big win for students in South Carolina 🇺🇸 Governor @henrymcmaster announced a statewide partnership with TPUSA to bring Club America to all high schools, equipping young people to lead with purpose and conviction. @tpusastudents

The DNC just voted down three resolutions to stop AIPAC from influencing our politicians. One would have condemned AIPACs role in primaries. One would have conditioned military aid to Israel. The other would have recognized what is happening in Gaza. Here's is what they are trying to hide (in my opinion). Total pro-Israel lobby spending in 2024: over $126 million across 389 races. 96% win rate. - AIPAC PAC: $44.8M - United Democracy Project (AIPAC's super PAC): $55.4M - DMFI: $4.8M - NORPAC: $2.7M The NRA spent $1.48 million on lobbying in 2024, just to give you a comparison. AIPAC and affiliated groups spent +$22M on Democratic primaries in Illinois alone in 2026. They operate through shell PACs called "Elect Chicago Women" and "Chicago Progressive Partnership” that are designed to obscure the source of funding. This is not standard political spending. This is a foreignn policy lobby systematically choosing which Democrats are allowed to win primaries, and the scale is only growing exponentially. 80% of Democratic voters now view Israel unfavorably. The base moved but the leadership is paid not to. Full deep dive coming this weekend on my Substack. But for fun, below are the key Democratic figures with the deepest AIPAC ties, based on campaign finance data, voting records, and public alignment:

US and Israel bombed at "least 763 schools and 316 health care facilities" in Iran I struggle to understand why so many civilian targets were hit. If the stated goal is to “free” the Iranian people, this is not how you do it. This is how you lose them nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Yesterday Donald Trump changed the law so the USA's forests can be sold to billionaires, an area the size of the UK and France. While Javier Milei allowed billionaire companies to mine in Argentina's glaciers, which has ALWAYS been banned. They are selling what isn't theirs.

Trump: “Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” (Aug. ‘24) Trump: “We’re going to get your energy prices down. We’re going to get your energy prices down by 50%.” (Aug. ‘24) Trump: “Prices will come down. You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.” (Aug. ‘24) Trump: “Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again. We’ll do that. We’ve got to bring it down.” (Oct. ‘24) Trump at Davos: “We have defeated inflation. Grocery prices, energy prices, airfares, mortgage rates, rent and car payments are all coming down, and they’re coming down fast. We’ve done a hell of a job in 12 months.” (Jan. ‘26) Today:

That is the verified government account of a federal law enforcement agency with arrest and detention authority over 340 million people. Not a campaign. Not a personal page. A Christian cross on the official DHS handle is a textbook Establishment Clause violation. The first freedom in the First Amendment exists precisely to prevent this.

@AGAlanWilson @HawleyMO Mifepristone has an excellent safety record. Wilson supports forced birth cloaked as “safety.”

I’m leading attorneys general from across the country in supporting Senator @HawleyMO's Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. Mifepristone poses serious risks and is being widely distributed. This legislation would remove it from the FDA’s approval list and ensure women who are harmed can seek justice. I have fought to defend the unborn in South Carolina and across the country, and I won’t stop. As a father, protecting life will always be a top priority, because we must stand for the pre-born and ensure every life is defended.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

$46.6 billion spent on war as of this morning. Paying that tab requires cutting scientific research, healthcare, environmental regulations - all the things that affirm life. Forswearing life in favor of death is a hell of a choice.
