The illegal war that Trump and Netanyahu started against Iran has been one disaster after the next. When you're digging yourself into a hole, the best way out is to stop digging.

Since Trump took office, 1.75 MILLION children have lost their healthcare. And that's before the Republicans' $1 TRILLION cut to Medicaid, which will impact many more.
All while they seek $1 billion for Trump's gold-plated ballroom.
Tells you all you need to know.
Glad to see the SPLC take the fight to the Trump admin.
Their vendetta against the SPLC is a bogus attempt at shutting down one of the most effective & important anti-hate voices in America today.
The fact that the Trump admin feels so threatened by their work speaks volumes.
Thanks to HRW, we now know the UAE helped recruit mercenaries to help the genocidal RSF in Sudan.
This war has already killed 150,000+ people & displaced 12+ MILLION.
We must pass mine & @sarajacobs.house.gov bill to halt arms sales to the UAE until they stop fueling the RSF.
Erdogan ordered Turkey’s police to raid the opposition party’s HQ days after a kangaroo court ousted the opposition leader.
We cannot keep ignoring Turkey’s descent into authoritarianism. We must stand for the people's right to democracy for allies & adversaries alike.
ICE's treatment of detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey is the latest in a long line of abuses we've seen across the country.
When @kim.senate.gov stood up & called out these abuses, they pepper sprayed him.
Not another dime for this lawless agency.
This is a direct attack on our legal immigration system: making it more unworkable, punishing families, workers, and businesses.
It’s also unlawful. We must and will fight back.

Democrats have provided reflexive & unconditional support to Netanyahu & Israeli governments, even as they undermined the values we claimed to stand for.
It's time to end taxpayer-funded support & condition arms sales to end the occupation & salvage a 2-state solution.
On Memorial Day, we remember the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Today, and every day, let us honor their memory by doing our part to defend the values and freedoms they gave their lives to protect.
Today, a federal judge determined what we've known all along, the Trump admin was engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
This is a win for all our rights & the Constitution.
Howard Lutnick's FIRST political donation since becoming Commerce Secretary was a $5 MILLION donation to House Republicans 1 month before they interviewed him about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Let that sink in.
Today, the American people won.
After we exposed Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund & threatened to make Republicans vote on every part of it, they're running scared.
They've pulled down votes & are going home.
We know they'll be back at it, but so will we.
Trump’s $1.8 BILLION slush fund is a gross abuse of your tax dollars. As it stands, Members of Congress are also eligible for payouts from this corrupt scheme.
I’m offering an amendment to ensure Members of Congress can’t cash in on this fund.
See for yourself, this guy, who was nominated to be the top lawyer at the State Department, will do anything to dodge the truth.
He won’t admit we have blockaded Iran because that would be an admission we are at war.
Gaslighting the American people.
Yesterday, Blanche refused to say Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund wouldn't be used to pay off convicted Jan 6 rioters & child molesters.
I'm offering an amendment to prevent these criminals from getting a penny of your tax dollars.
Will Republicans send your money to criminals & pedophiles?
Standing in front of the site of his $1 BILLION, gold plated, taxpayer funded ballroom, Trump tells working people that an over $1.00/gallon spike in gas prices is 'peanuts.'
Trump first, working Americans last.

Today, I asked acting-AG Blanche if a convicted pedophile & Jan 6 rioter would be eligible for his & Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund.
The fact that he can't rule it out is obscene.
Today, Blanche got very offended when I called him out for continuing to act like Trump's personal attorney.
Now, we learn he quietly signed a deal to bar the IRS from EVER reexamining Trump's, his family's, or his companies' prior taxes. How does this serve the American people?
Yesterday, Trump announced a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund for his allies & friends.
Today, I asked acting AG Blanche if Jan 6 rioters who assaulted police & committed violent crimes, would be eligible for payouts.
He couldn't say no.
PFAS has been linked to cancer & developmental delays in children.
We should be doing everything we can to get it OUT of our drinking water. But instead, the Trump Admin wants to do the opposite — putting our communities at risk.
This isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.
