Americans are already struggling to make ends meet, & now Trump's illegal war is driving up prices everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store.
Ending this war will protect our troops, lower costs, & rein in this lawless president.

12 days after gutting the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS has turned back the clock in Alabama.
Like Louisiana, this will dilute Black voting power and dismantle protections needed to fight discrimination.
Another dark day for our democracy.
While millions lose their insurance thanks to Trump & Republicans' decision to slash Medicaid & ACA tax credits, corporate hospitals are jacking up prices.
Let's end the system that allows corporations to rake in huge profits from sick people. It's time for Medicare for All.
The FBI must give an update on her case & the admin must release the USSC report on her death. Silence is not acceptable.
[2/2]
Today marks 4 years since Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot & killed by the IDF while reporting in the West Bank.
Both the Trump & Biden admins have failed to get justice for her killing.
[1/2]
It's this simple: Government officials shouldn't be making rules that govern businesses that they or their families OWN. But time and again Trump admin officials are caught doing that. More corruption from the most corrupt admin in history.
Free speech is free speech — you don't get to pick and choose.
If you are mad about Trump's efforts to muzzle Jimmy Kimmel, you should be equally angry about his efforts to punish students who speak out against U.S. complicity in the horrors in Gaza.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Your love, strength, and compassion make our families and communities stronger every day.
Marylanders will pay $1.6 BILLION over the next 10 yrs to subsidize the power needs of Big Tech's data centers.
You should NOT have to pay for Big Tech's profits.
My Power for the People Act would make data centers pay for their power, instead of passing costs onto consumers.
Think polluters don't have enough money to pay for the damage they've caused? Think again.
Unlike Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, & Florida, Virginia put its redistricting referendum up to the will of the PEOPLE. They voted & the redistricting amendment won, fair & square.
This ruling throws out their votes and ignores Virginians’ will.
Since the "ceasefire" the Netanyahu govt has steadily taken control of more territory in Gaza, squeezing civilians into tighter areas, pushing them toward the sea.
Where the hell is the Trump Admin & its so-called “Board of Peace” amidst this land grab?
8 years ago today, Trump ripped apart the Iran nuclear deal. Now look where we are.
Lutnick just can't get his story straight about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — from back in February, where I first got him to admit he had lied about their connection, to today.
What is he hiding? Why does his story keep changing?
The American people deserve the truth.
Remember: Trump promised to bring DOWN prices 'on day 1.'
He's now sending his top economic advisor out to try and convince the American people that it's a GOOD thing that they are paying more for "everything."
They haven’t got a clue.
This will only further weaken America on the global stage.
[2/2]
Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service.
Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world.
[1/2]
As the civil war in Sudan enters its 4th year, the RSF continues to commit genocide with impunity.
As I told this Trump official — if ending this genocide is a priority we need ACTION. To get results, the US must use our immense leverage to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF.
🚨 NEW from the American Medical Association: RFK Jr.'s recommendation for babies to forgo the hepatitis-B vaccine will likely lead to more infections in our kids, increased rates of liver cancer, & death.
RFK Jr.'s conspiracy theories are putting lives at risk.
He must go, NOW.
Trump's corruption has been well documented, but perhaps one of his most outrageous — and lucrative — schemes has been his personal meme coin.
Since its launch, Trump has made over $200 MILLION from it while those everyday Americans who have invested have lost BILLIONS.
