Venezuela.
Greenland.
Iran.
Now Cuba is “next.”
This isn’t foreign policy, it’s a dangerous pattern of escalation and imperialism. Americans didn’t vote for a President who treats the world like a list of countries to conquer.

“Don’t do anything rash that could make things worse.”
That would require the President to abandon his entire approach to governing.
The same people claiming we can’t afford health care, food assistance, or investments that help families get by somehow found $2 BILLION A DAY for a war of choice.
Don’t let anyone pretend this was about fiscal responsibility.
That’s not leadership. It’s deranged – and it shows exactly how little regard he has for the people he was elected to protect.
The President who promised to be the “President of Peace” and to put America First is now casually shrugging off the possibility of Americans dying at home because of a war he chose.
Reposted byRep. Emanuel Cleaver
In the 13 months since Trump took office, the economy has created a net total of 198,000 jobs compared with 1.4 million created in the last 13 months of the Biden administration. data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOu...
Employers cut 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4% as the labor market continues to weaken after an anemic year of job growth. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
92,000 jobs lost in a single month is not just a statistic – it’s families worried about rent, groceries, & keeping the lights on.
Working people are paying the price for an administration that has spent more time making their lives more difficult and more expensive than strengthening our economy.
The warning signs are flashing.
Lost jobs. Slowing hiring. Rising unemployment. The economy is sending a clear message: constant instability and careless leadership come with real consequences for working families who deserve better.
The Constitution is clear: the authority to declare war rests with Congress, & the American people deserve transparency & accountability before our nation is drawn into another open-ended military conflict.
My statement on voting in favor of the War Powers Resolution:
After years of political theater and conspiracy theories, the DOJ found what many of us already knew: there was no crime.
Imagine if the same energy spent chasing an autopen was used to bring predators and abusers to justice through the Epstein files.
It’s almost as if taxpayers don’t want to bankroll fancy ballroom spaces for the wealthy and well-connected while they’re struggling to keep a roof over their own heads.
Kristi Noem’s removal is overdue. But the damage done under her watch—from abuses by ICE to a lack of accountability at CBP—won’t disappear overnight. One firing isn’t reform. Congress must act to rein in these agencies and restore the rule of law.
www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
But yes, for the record: also fire Kristi Noem for her careless leadership.
$220 MILLION in taxpayer funds for a DHS ad campaign.
The problem isn’t who gets fired, it’s how this happened in the first place.
Americans don’t need lectured about “patience”. They need relief.
The Trump administration promised to lower costs on day one – yet families are still paying more for groceries, housing, and healthcare while Republicans focus on tax breaks for billionaires.
The Constitution is clear: Congress has a role in decisions of war and peace.
Any escalation with Iran must come with strategy, transparency, and congressional authorization. I will be voting YES on the War Powers resolution today to rein in Trump’s illegal war.

Tens of thousands of Epstein files kept out of public view while allegations involve the President?
The American people deserve full transparency.
Let’s be clear, the people sent into harm’s way won’t be wealthy or well-connected.
It’ll be working-class Americans who wear the uniform, deploy overseas, and bear the cost of Trump’s illegal regime-change war.
