Trump’s dangerous, unnecessary, and expensive war with Iran could leave us with high gas prices for another six months, at least. If anyone tells you Trump could not have predicted this, don’t believe it. This was completely predictable. Trump just ignored the risk. It’s an energy disaster.
Clearing Strait of Hormuz of mines could take 6 months, Pentagon tells Congress

Republicans just blocked my amendment to lower electricity costs for working people. Instead of providing economic relief for everyday Americans, MAGA Republicans want to provide billions for ICE and CBP. Disgusting.
NIH is the world’s research engine—driving development of treatments and cures for everything from cancer to rare diseases. Trump wants to cut $5 billion from these life-saving breakthroughs, but was happy to spend more than twice that in the first week of his illegal Iran war.
rump’s Budget Cuts:
- $5 BILLION FROM NIH
Budget of the U.S. Government
National Institutes of Health (NIH) (-$5 billion). NIH broke the trust of the American people with wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research, and the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health. At the program level, the Budget requests $41 billion for NIH research and proposes reforms to NIH, including the elimination of the following Institutes or Centers (IC):

National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, which is replete with DEI expenditures, such as research studying how “structural racism” impacts social connectedness among “gender minority people of color” and comparing sexually transmitted infections in “transgender women”;

Fogarty International Center (FIC), which has funded Master’s degree programs in foreign countries, such as Serbia and India, at the expense of Americans. FIC has also wasted money by surveying how Buddhism creates “HIV-stigma” in Tha
A judge just blocked Trump's attempt to strangle wind and solar in red tape. As Trump tries to destroy this American industry—including paying $1B in taxpayer money to NOT build offshore wind—we know the truth: clean energy means cheaper bills, good jobs, and energy independence.

DHS wants our tax dollars to pay for spy glasses. This isn’t safety, it’s mass surveillance through a shiny new lens: dangerous, dystopian, and authoritarian at its core. No funding for Trump’s surveillance state. Period.
Courthouse News Service
DHS startles Congress with request for millions to develop ICE ‘smart glasses’
The Homeland Security Department requested $7.5 million for research and development projects, including prototype “smart glasses” that will give federal agents access to biometric identification data in the field.

In January, RFK Jr. cut off $2 BILLION in funding – without warning – from programs that provide life-saving treatment to people with substance use and mental health disorders. The funding was reinstated the next day, but left communities reeling. www.npr.org/2026/01/15/n...
