Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do…
Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money.
And this parade helped nobody.

Iran has nukes is the 2020s version of Iraq has WMDs in 2000s.
Stop letting propaganda slogans convince you to let wealthy elites send our young men and women to war.
We need justice and diplomacy, not fear and destruction.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right.
But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.
