Trump has already spent nearly $7 billion on his war of choice, according to independent analysis—2x what America spends on housing homeless veterans every year. It’s disgusting. I’m going to keep talking about how his broken promises are hurting folks here at home.
It hasn’t even been a week, and Trump’s regime change war in Iran has already cost taxpayers over $6.5 billion. That’s more than twice as much as what we spent on housing homeless veterans in 2025. Outrageous.
Thank you @nationalnow.bsky.social for honoring me with the Equal Rights Champion Award! I’m ashamed that it’s been over 100 years since women secured the right to vote, and yet we’re still fighting for equality. We must affirm that the Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land NOW!
After years of promising no new wars, the mask is off: Trump & his allies in Congress are nothing more than a bunch of pathetic neocon warmongers. I hope betraying the American people was worth it for the defense contractor money.
The Republicans' farm bill is a BETRAYAL of MAHA. It would: 🛢️Prevent communities from regulating pesticides. 🤮Allow more toxins dumped into our water. ☠️Give CORPORATE IMMUNITY to companies that make cancer-causing chemicals. Trump & RFK lied to win. I’m taking them on.
Republicans love to act like they give a damn about homeland security. But the truth is, under Donald Trump’s reckless administration, America is more isolated, more alone, and less safe than ever before.
Last month, I visited Growing Places' Regional Food Center in Gardner, MA to see how they're helping local farmers bring their produce to market while also expanding access to nutritious food for those in need. Thank you for all you do to #EndHungerNow!
The Trump kids won’t have to go fight in an illegal war for their draft dodging dad with "bone spurs." It’s working class kids who die in wars waged by rich men—not the children of the billionaire Epstein class.
These planes cost $100 Million. Each. $300 million dollars could have provided 139 MILLION meals for hungry people in America. Trump betrayed America first—he picked military adventurism abroad over feeding kids and seniors here at home.
American troops killed. 20% of global oil & gas traffic halted. U.S. bases under attack. Trump admin says it could last for a month & won’t rule out troops on the ground. Saying this "isn't a war” is the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a long time. And I'm in Congress.
Hunt: “Did the president not run on not starting a war with Iran?” Sen. Mullin: “He ran on ending wars. He's ended eight of them.” Hunt: “He started this one.” Mullin: “This isn’t a war.”
This is disgusting. These things don’t just “happen.” They happen because he started an unprovoked, illegal & reckless war. No more American deaths, no more misguided military adventurism, no more endless war.
a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“
