Senator Patty Murray@PattyMurray·1d

Donald Trump might be happy to spend more money on bombs in the Middle East than on families here in America—but I am not. The only responsible thing to do with a budget this morally bankrupt is to toss it in the trash.

The cost of ONE day of Trump's war in Iran is enough to more than END homelessness in the state of Hawaii This war is a dangerous, irresponsible, complete waste of American taxpayer dollars.

The American people didn’t ask to go to war with Iran. While families in New Hampshire and across the country are struggling to afford health care and child care, President Trump is openly refusing to help. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

I’m praying for the crew aboard the downed fighter jet, their families, and loved ones, and for all those risking their lives to bring them home. And I’m praying for an end to this reckless war that has endangered American troops, jeopardized national security, and hurt our economy.

My thoughts are with the crew and those actively involved in the search and rescue operation. I hope for their safety and for the safety of all our servicemembers throughout the region.

My thoughts are with these U.S. servicemembers, as well as with their families and loved ones. As search and rescue operations continue, our hope is that both crew members return safely.

This budget isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Congress still controls the purse. Coloradans want affordable and accessible health care, our public lands protected, and American leadership in science and innovation. We won’t stop fighting for Colorado priorities.

Senator Cortez Masto@SenCortezMasto·1d

To pay for his foreign war of choice, Trump just proposed even more cuts to food assistance, housing, and health care. President Trump’s budget puts working families last.

First, President Trump took away your health insurance. Next, he closed your rural hospital. Now, he’s threatening to raise the price of your medicine. This is the Republican health care legacy.

Bloomberg@business

The Trump administration will impose tariffs of as much as 100% on certain imported medicines, albeit with several key exemptions bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

They are proposing cuts to clean water, education, housing and more. To spend even MORE money on war. Let that sink in. The administration in Washington does not care about you.

As someone shot down behind enemy lines, my heart goes out to the crew members and their loved ones who are waiting for answers. It's a relief one servicemember has been found and rescued, and I'm grateful for those risking their lives to look for the one who remains missing.

So his unjustified war in the Middle East spikes everyone’s energy bills… and his answer is to cut energy assistance for Americans who are bearing the brunt of the spikes… to keep funding the war. Got it.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:
