Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it.
Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.
Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress.
Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves.
I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.
@chefsevenn I grew up in the’60’s and our Mom never made us eat anything we didn’t want to eat. My parents had a boatload of kids but, thank GOD, I was never sent to bed hungry. And we were not on PA either. We were truly blessed.
@luxemiaa Obviously he’s not complaining. This arrangement must be working well for him and he’s content. He has to pay to live somewhere, and any other landlord wouldn’t have to explain where the rent money goes. Enjoy your trips.
@Her_Nonymous_D I’m so sorry that happened to you. For me, after too many years I realized that the friendship was one-sided. So when the straw broke the camels back, I just let it go. Still cordial, if I see you, I’m friendly enough. But it will never be the same again. 🤷🏽♀️
🚨 BREAKING: The House just failed to end Trump’s Iran war by ONE vote.
213-214.
One Democrat.
Jared Golden of Maine.
That’s it. That’s the margin.
One Democrat crossed the aisle and gave Trump the war.
