Trump says the war is over. Trump says he is seeking peace. Don’t buy it. Trump also wants $200 Billion more for the war and is sending yet more troops to the Middle East. No more money, no more troops, no more war. We must end this now.
Army paratroopers ordered to Middle East as U.S. weighs next move in Iran conflict
The orders follow weeks of speculation about whether the 82nd Airborne Division would join the war, after its headquarters unit abruptly pulled out of a training exercise this month.

Trump attacked Obama for sending cash to Iran as part of the Iran Deal, which was working to stop an Iranian nuclear bomb until Trump tore it up. Now to fix a crisis of his own making, Trump is handing Iran $14 billion in sanctions relief—And there is still no articulated plan. We must end this war.
Trump Faces Blowback on Easing Iran Oil Sanctions
President Trump once assailed the Obama administration for making cash payments to Iran. Now he supports sanctions relief that could give the country a $14 billion windfall.
Working Americans forced to miss shifts. Rural voters traveling for hours. LGBTQ Americans facing ID hurdles. The SAVE Act is about disenfranchising voters. Instead of free and fair elections, it is bought and paid for elections. Instead of one person one vote, it’s one white person, one vote.
Electric and fuel-efficient vehicles. Clean energy. Battery storage technology. Trump calls that socialism. But what do you call 100 years of tax breaks for oil, gas, and coal? Give us some of that socialism.
Trump calls it “The Art of the Deal.”   Billionaires get tax breaks while working families and small businesses get higher costs, weaker health care, and more instability.   This isn’t a deal—it’s a ripoff.
