Will Trump’s Golden Dome actually cost $175B? Nope.
Our @bloomberg.com visual analysis shows a $1.1T (yes, trillion!) cost to defend the US against aerial threats from Russia, China, and North Korea. Even a smaller architecture would cost $844B.

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

My friend’s husband made a warm space for an opossum hanging out near the home and he is also leaving it cat food. I cannot help but love this man for his kindness. Winters are very hard on opossums, and this winter is especially hard.
