We are closing in on $70 BILLION dollars that Americans have had to pay in extra fuel costs since Feb 28 due to Trump's war on Iran. For context, the entirety of all federal support for research (thru NIH, NSF etc) costs $65B per year. A war for nothing but waste. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

$200B, the Pentagon's insane ask for the illegal Iran war, is comparable to all planned spending on energy and climate over *10 years* in Biden's signature bill, which Trumpists almost completely repealed last summer.

I might not be where I am today if it hadn't been for picking up one of Susan George's books at university. It helped turn me into an activist, to my first job in the Jubilee debt campaign, and finally brought me to work at TNI. I will miss her hugely but her influence and legacy will live on.

🚨 LAUNCHING 🚨 State of Power 2026 🚨 Fascism and the far right are on the rise.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE. Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide: www.stephensemler.com/p/democratic...

Trump has murdered at least 34 people in the Caribbean. The administration “ is selecting boats more or less at random, and intentionally killing people who could be captured.” From Ryan Cooper: trib.al/4pogGiw

All evidence suggests the president is directing the military to assassinate random civilians off the coast of South America, and thereby violating norms and laws that stretch back to before the founding of this country.
