They never fund the soldier.

No one voted for new wars.

No one voted for higher prices at the pump.

No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores.

Welcome to Raging Moderates.

I'm Jessica Tarlow.

And in today's episode, we're going to be talking about how the U.S.

is extending the war with Iran, despite promises, many, many years of promises, to avoid a long conflict, Pam Bondi's congressional subpoena over the Epstein files, and what the Tegna-Nextar merger means for the future of media.

I've said this before, I'm a little tired.

It's exhausting having a five-day-a-week job, but I'm loving it.

So please subscribe and let's get into it.

The U.S.

is getting pulled deeper into this war with Iran.

The Pentagon is considering sending thousands more troops to the region.

Projected costs, we're spending a billion dollars a day at least, and it looks like they're going to be asking for an additional 200 billion.

And now you've got senior officials like Tulsi Gabbard openly suggesting the U.S.

and Israel might not even agree on what quote-unquote winning looks like here.

Erin, I'm not sure how you felt during this week, but something was different from the first few weeks of this war.
