So we have enough money for
➡️war with Iran
➡️buying Greenland
➡️Kash Patel jetsetting around the world
But we can't afford
❌healthcare
❌housing
❌public education
Do I have that right?
Congress just struck down a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump's illegal regime change war.
I voted yes. Every single Member should've joined us to say clearly: No more endless wars.
No more civilians murdered abroad with our tax dollars.
No more US troops sent to their death for Trump.
At least 175 people, many of them children, were killed in an airstrike Saturday on a girls' elementary school in Iran www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...
"The takeaway from these numbers is that the new war in Iran is very unpopular...Worst-ever-support-for-war-when-it-started unpopular. With just 38% of Americans in favor, support for bombing Iran is lower than retrospective support for the war in Iraq was in 2014."

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.
Excellent piece by @saletan.bsky.social on all the false claims of an "imminent threat" from Iran.
"The U.S. didn’t launch this war because we had to. We launched it because we could...Trump all but admitted the truth to Jonathan Karl: 'We have become spoiled.'"

Even if you are lucky enough to have legal representation, which in immigration must be funded by yourself (or pro bono counsel) how do your lawyers rep you in this system? Not to mention how does your family find you? not due process

“$1B a day”
The GOP-led House rejects a measure to rein in Trump’s war in Iran as the conflict costs taxpayers an estimated $1 billion a day.
We still have a Congress, and they still control the purse, so let's see something here

The president is trying to impose worldwide tariffs by any means necessary - but his actions are not constitutional. Not even the president is above the law. That's why we're leading a multistate coalition to challenge his actions. #orpol

Donald Trump has shown time and again that freedom and democracy for the Iranian people are not his priority.
He launched an illegal war—risking tens of thousands of U.S. servicemembers—without congressional approval or a clear plan.
The DOJ released 3 previously missing FBI interviews from the Epstein files tied to sexual assault involving Trump. The documents surfaced a day after Pam Bondi was subpoenaed. In a TIME interview, Trump said nonchalantly Americans could face retaliatory attacks if conflict with Iran escalates.
My full statement on voting for the War Powers Resolution⬇️
I sued the Trump Administration today to stop the latest round of illegal tariffs.
We know these tariffs are hurting families and businesses. SCOTUS agreed with our case that sweeping tariffs are illegal. Why is the federal government so determined to impose taxes that we didn’t vote for?
I cannot support the confirmation of Senator Mullin to Trump’s out-of-control DHS. We must all take a stand.
I voted NO on more funding for ICE.
At a time when masked agents are terrorizing families and undermining trust in our communities, Congress should be focused on protecting people’s rights and making our communities safer.
We need accountability, not fear.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Rep. Pat Ryan: "I actually think Trump is so delusional, so whatever from his five deferments from the draft that he thinks this is a game. And it is not a game. He needs to go look all those families in the eye and give them, at a minimum, a real explanation for what the hell happened."
While the article makes clear that the investigation is not final, all evidence points to Trump being responsible for killing over a 150 little girls.
How many people have died because of Donald Trump? From dismantling PEPFAR to killing alleged drug smugglers at sea to the murders in Minneapolis.
If this is true, that the Iranian vessel was returning from an international exercise with other countries INCLUDING the United States - and was thus unarmed - & that the US did not make efforts to rescue the crew, that makes Hegseth the "Secretary of War Crimes"

Much of the work is being done by immigrants who have built organizations to respond to the needs of their communities. Among the services provided are English instruction, housing, and helping children register for school.

In a new interview, Pope Leo XIV's top deputy is warning that President Trump’s strikes on Iran risk “setting the world ablaze.”
Would you imagine what a world without wars would be like? #PrayTogether
