Ignoring the challenges confronting millions of Americans with soaring healthcare premiums, tariff taxes, and the struggle to make ends meet, Trump continues to focus elsewhere—now launching a war for oil, wasting taxpayer dollars and putting American lives at risk.

Across America, Trump‘s reckless immigration crackdown is creating serious shortages in construction, healthcare and many other sectors. “America is closing its doors to the world, sealing the border, squeezing the legal avenues to entry and sending new arrivals and longtime residents to the exits.“
With little oversight from an ever-obedient GOP Congress, Trump is dragging our country into another pointless war with no real plan or end in sight.
…still be suffering an economic catastrophe, and people across the United States will continue to struggle amidst the overdose crisis, particularly as this Administration works to rip away the healthcare and services that would offer our communities a chance at care and recovery.” (2/2)
Strongly agree with @winwithoutwar.bsky.social:
“Violence abroad and deprivation at home are all this administration has to offer the world. When the dust clears from this made-for-social-media spectacle, lives will have been unnecessarily lost, families in Venezuela will… (1/2)
In his inaugural, he said success should be measured “most importantly, by the wars we never get into.” By his own standard, he’s failing— he has become the Bully-in-Chief, preying on the weak while abandoning the principles of peace and human rights that should define American leadership.
Trump’s illegal war for oil in Venezuela emboldens authoritarians everywhere to attack the small and the weak whenever they choose. In a press conference overflowing with more of his outlandish lies, Trump sought support for the very type of foreign intervention he has promised to oppose.
He’s putting American lives at risk and billions of American taxpayer dollars to waste—fueling another illegal war for oil—a war from which allies of his regime will be seeking new ways to profit.
Relying on incompetent Defense Secretary Hegseth, Trump claims he’ll “run” Venezuela indefinitely. If only Trump could run America competently to deal with the very real struggles of our families instead of starting another war.
Now he’s set to spend billions in Venezuela—while accessing its oil—money that should be going toward the real needs of Americans.
What better way to start another year of broken promises to struggling American families than launching an illegal war. Too weak to confront real security threats posed by powerful dictators, Trump predictably targets the weak instead.
Our vigilance and engagement is essential to preserve our democracy.
After years of false voter fraud complaints including the claim that he won in 2020, Trump is again trying to subvert elections by suing states for unredacted voter data. Gerrymandering was only the first of many shenanigans Trump will use to subvert the 2026 elections.
I continue to fight to restore these credits and helped secure an up-or-down vote in early January to correct the health care crisis Republicans created.
Republicans voted to take away Affordable Care Act tax credits and raised premiums for millions of Americans. The New Year brings new financial challenges as families struggle to afford care and many will go uninsured.
As we marked 90 years of Social Security—a hard-earned benefit ensuring financial security for every working American in retirement and disability—Trump and DOGE took a wrecking ball to this essential and most successful federal initiative. The damage will likely take years to fix.
Along the way, let’s find hope in what each of us is contributing—and in the many small, daily reminders of possibility, like those captured in this NYT Morning piece.
While much remains hopeless like Trump’s deceit and GOP enabling him, we can still envision a future where compassion and respect replace his prejudice and hate; where we persuade more neighbors to join us; and where, step by step through November, we build a more responsive government.
HOPE. Let’s begin this New Year believing in our power to shape the future. Hope means imagining a better future, summoning the will to move toward it, and choosing a path to get there.
2025 was a deeply challenging year with Trump presenting the greatest threat to our democracy since the Civil War.
As we begin 2026 and mark 250 years of this great Nation, renewed hope that more are recognizing the threat of authoritarianism and rejecting the Trump regime.
