What mattered
today.

“When the Trump Administration began the Iranian conflict, you could have easily guessed it would spiral out of control. And if you did, you'd be correct. At the five-month mark, we've gone through countless strikes on both sides, worthless ceasefires, and now rising escalations with new countries (Egypt) being dragged into the destruction. All while handfuls of militant and proxy groups take aim to make their lasting mark on the conflict. We are further away than ever from the end of this war, and the impact will continue to plague not just America, but countries globally as well.”

“The depleting stockpile of weapons within the US Military may be the single issue of the highest importance as we transition into a new era of international turmoil and advancing weapons technology. How we reached this point of critical shortages will be studied endlessly within the defense industry, but the current focus of the Trump Administration is to re-arm, enlisting the help of new silicon valley mindset defense companies. While the efficacy of these new companies has yet to be proven, it's a welcome change compared to the old guard of defense contractors who move slowly and develop even slower.”

“The push to have Darline Graham take her deceased brother's Senate seat has become an increasingly bizarre story, concerningly, as the original headline alone was jaw-dropping. The desire and actions of Darline, who has seemingly made the decision to be "even more conservative" than her brother, seem so unnatural after the passing of a loved one.”

“Trump's politicization of federal funding expands beyond infrastructure withholdings to disaster withholdings as well. As states faced record-breaking snowfall this past winter, Trump overrode recommendations from his own agencies to deny funding to help with the fallout. Long gone are the days of consistent federal funding, now replaced with having to kiss up to Trump to ensure your state has access to it's congressianly appropriated funding.”
