Trump spent a decade selling "America-First" isolationism.
No more endless war, no sending Americans to die in the Middle East, he said.
He lied. Why? Follow the money. He's just another neocon shill for Big Oil & Middle East autocrats. Many of us tried to warn you.

I pray for all our brave servicemen and women—as well as all the innocent civilians—whose lives Donald Trump has recklessly put in harm’s way with his illegal, unconstitutional war.
Congress should immediately be called back to Washington to vote on these illegal strikes—that is what the constitution and the laws of this country demand. Instead, Speaker Johnson has called off votes for Monday and Tuesday.
Is Donald Trump confused about why he’s starting this war? Maybe he needs to have his memory checked. Less than a year ago he told us Iran’s nuclear program had been “obliterated.” Now he says we need more strikes. Was he lying then? Or is he lying now?
America does not want our kids dying so corrupt defense contractors can pad their pockets. We don’t want to waste trillions overseas while families are struggling here at home.
This is an illegal war that could easily escalate in dangerous and unpredictable ways into a wider regional conflict.
Have we learned absolutely nothing from our decades of endless war and reckless attempts at regime change in the Middle East?
🚨 Community project funding applications are now LIVE!
We’ve secured tens of millions for local MA02 projects over the last few years—making targeted investments that make a real difference in people's lives.
Learn more about how to apply:
The Trump regime is using your tax dollars to pay and provide federal benefits to a racist MAGA troll trying to gin up phony “grassroots” support for his pathetic racist boss. Outrageous.
The Trump administration’s blockade of Cuba not only causes unacceptable humanitarian suffering, but raises the risk of conflict. Yesterday’s deadly boat skirmish shows how things could escalate. Both governments should talk to each other like adults. Now.
Last night, Trump lied and lied, and Republicans jumped to their feet in cult-like obedience to shower their dear leader’s lies with fawning praise every chance they got. It was a display that would make even Kim Jong Un blush.
I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Worcester FD Captain Jason Couture—a hero, mentor, and profound leader in our community. Lisa and I extend our condolences to his wife, family, and all those mourning his loss. May his legacy of selfless service be an example for us all to live by.
America deserves a refund from Trump’s illegal tariffs.
Trump promised to lower costs on day one.
It's day 401. He's done nothing to make life more affordable. Prices are going up while he gives his billionaire donors one tax break after another.
My statement on the lies—and the reality—of Trump's economy:
Total snooze fest. Nothing about lowering the cost of living. Nothing about making life more affordable. This guy lives in a bubble.
No one loves the sound of their own voice more than Donald Trump…
Trump spent more of his speech talking about Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, and Argentina than about lowering prices for families at home.
Tells you all you need to know about his priorities. So much for “America First.”
Trump replaced Maduro with his own Vice President. One dictator for a different dictator.
Not for the human rights or freedom of the Venezuelan people—but to benefit big oil companies who donated generously to him.
I think going to war with Iran is an awful, stupid, reckless idea. But if Trump wants to do it so bad, he should follow the Constitution and come to Congress to get authorization. If Republicans want a war so bad, they should at least have the guts to vote for it.
