Trump and Republicans have no problem ripping away healthcare from the American people.
But won't hesitate to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on an illegal war of choice in Iran.
Trump and Republicans' priorities are crystal clear.

The House and Senate, with bipartisan support, have both condemned Donald Trump's war with Iran. The American people don't want more forever wars.NEW: The Senate just voted to halt the Iran war, 50-48. Four Rs supported the war powers measure: Cassidy, Collins, Murkowski, and Paul. It’s a symbolic vote because the concurrent resolution won’t go to Trump. But both chambers have now weighed in against the war. - RM @RepGregoryMeeks: The violent crackdown on opposition leaders and political speech in DRC is deeply troubling. The Congolese people have a constitutional right to free expression, and attempts to silence dissent undermine democracy. The DRC government must concentrate on
- Trump's disastrous Iran war, combined with the admin's foreign aid cuts, has exacerbated global food insecurity & now threatens to push millions around the world closer to famine. No man, woman or child should ever die of hunger. This is avoidable. The US must do more to help.

Trump's reckless war barely revived the status quo—but costs us billions, took American lives and wrecked the economy.President Donald J. Trump solved a threat Washington spent forty years managing - Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. A WIN for America. 🇺🇸
- 1/ USAID OIG released an advisory on the Trump admin withholding family planning commodities overseas. Rather than deliver these taxpayer-funded supplies, the admin is paying millions to let them expire in a warehouse. This is ACTUAL waste of American tax dollars.
2/ If House Republicans really cared about addressing waste, fraud and abuse, they'd work with @RepGregoryMeeks, @RepLoisFrankel and @RepGraceMeng to pass the Saving Lives & Taxpayers Dollars Act. - Rubio in March: We must start a war with Iran to destroy its missile program. Trump today: Iran should have a few missiles, actually. This war of choice was a strategic failure and should have never happened.
