Breaking down the cost of war against Iran

Analysts estimate the war against Iran is costing American taxpayers more than $890 million a day, based on known military operations and congressional cost estimates. The spending covers air and naval operations, ground forces, weapons systems and missile interceptions, with the early phase of the conflict proving the most expensive. Experts warn the total cost could rise sharply if the conflict continues or expands to include US ground troops. CNN’s Tom Foreman reports. Source link

California is taking Donald Trump to court for breaking the law to put polluter profits before American lives

“With the unlawful rescission of the Endangerment Finding, President Trump and his EPA have abandoned their most important mission: protecting the health and welfare of the American people. The science doesn’t lie: Climate change and GHG emissions are harming public health and causing devastating and ever-worsening disasters. Our communities have felt the impact of destructive wildfires, watched families run from burning homes, inhaling toxic fumes, and we’ve seen entire communities wash away in severe floods. The President can’t keep his head in the sand — climate change is real and decades of settled science warned us this was coming,” said

Switzerland considers ‘complete termination’ of US Patriot order, vows to extend payment freeze

BELFAST — Switzerland is deliberating over whether to cancel a long-delayed Patriot air defense system order, while saying that it will extend a payment freeze for the in-demand platform unless the US communicates a firm timeline for deliveries — the latest development in a high-dollar diplomatic spat between the two countries. “We’ve informed them [the Swiss Federal Council] about this [Patriot termination] option today and we’re also making this option public today,” Switzerland’s defense minister Martin Pfister said at a press conference, according to an official translation. “We are still assuming today that we will receive these systems; we don’t

‘Quiet, piggy’: As Trump berates female reporters, what’s the breaking point?

Not smart enough. A terrible person. Obnoxious. These are just some of the more recent insults U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly hurled at female reporters in response to their questions. But calling Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey “piggy” on Air Force One, and then berating ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce a few days later, has raised questions about just how much journalists are expected to tolerate as they do their jobs. As some industry experts have pointed out, the issue goes well beyond these two incidents, or even Trump, who has a history of both attacking the press and

‘We were ready’: Democratic attorneys general lead fight to stop Trump | US politics

Four Democratic attorneys general, sitting in their offices from New York to California with state flags and books behind them, announced a new lawsuit on Thursday, alleging the president, yet again, had broken the law by attempting to create new tariffs without congressional approval. It’s a now familiar scene for the group of top law-enforcement officials who have collectively filed more than 50 lawsuits against the Trump administration, serving as a counterweight to the president’s quest to expand his power and circumvent the constitution. They’ve protected billions of dollars for their states. They’ve stopped or stalled policies that would have

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter outlined on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” a vision for a “period of transitional government” in Iran.  “What we’re hoping for is that we move into a period of a transitional government where the minorities come together, where the majority of the people come together, all the various opposition parties come together for a transitional government where they can leave the country for a year or so — together with the guidance from the United States and Israel and other regional allies who will no longer live under the fear of being

Washington questions NATO alliance, as Spain fences off airspace

WASHINGTON — The day after Spain announced it was closing off its airspace to US planes involved in the Iran war, senior US officials seemingly called into question a fundamental pillar of the NATO alliance: collective defense. “A lot has been laid bare, a lot has been shown to the world about what our allies would be willing to do for the United States of America,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters inside the Pentagon today. “When we undertake an effort of this scope on behalf of the free world, these are missiles that don’t even range the United States

US allows Russian oil tanker to break blockade, travel to Cuba

HOUSTON, United States The US is allowing a Russian tanker to deliver crude oil to Cuba, breaking a months-long blockade on the Caribbean island nation by the Trump administration, according to a report Sunday by the New York Times. The tanker, carrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of crude, is expected to dock at the Matanzas terminal by Tuesday, providing a critical supply of energy to Cuba amid escalating tensions with the US. The Russian ship’s arrival would distribute an energy lifeline to Cuba, buying the island nation at least a few weeks before its fuel reserves run out, according to
