Donald Trump promised peace, yet we woke up this morning to find out he bypassed Congress to plunge us into an unauthorized, catastrophic war in Iran.
Working families can barely afford groceries right now. Rent is completely out of reach for millions. We are constantly told by leaders in Washington that there isn't enough money to save Social Security and Medicare, and that everyday Americans just have to tighten their belts and suffer the crushing weight of inflation.

It won't be the politicians or the billionaires who pay the price for this reckless political theater. Once again, it will be working-class kids who are sent to bleed and die on foreign soil. Once again, trillions of our tax dollars will be stripped from our own struggling communities to fund a forever war we didn't vote for and didn't ask for.
He spent years screaming on social media that other presidents would attack Iran just to distract the public. The hypocrisy is sickening. We are going to starve our own people at home to fund endless destruction abroad. The American people are tired of being treated like collateral damage.
