Maybe we should invest in affordable housing here at home instead of spending one billion dollars a day on war with Iran?
Mortgage rates rose for a third week, reaching a three-month high as wartime inflation fears drove up yields for the government bonds that guide home loans

In just 19 days, Trump has already wasted $25 BILLION on his reckless war of choice with Iran. That’s enough to fund the State Department for half a year. He chooses bombs over diplomacy. Disgusting & just plain stupid.

Who are you going to believe? Trump, or your empty wallet?
Higher gasoline and diesel prices are now costing the U.S. economy half a billion dollars more every single day (and rising) versus three weeks ago. A staggering rise and near record-setting.

WATCH: Rep. Jim McGovern eviscerates GOP claims that gas prices are lower now than under President Biden, citing figures of roughly $3.11 then versus about $3.80 currently under Trump. "What a crock! Everything's gone up!" https://t.co/SmEIGohC6Z

Trump cut nutrition assistance for Americans by nearly $200B…and now he has the audacity to demand that same amount so he can use it on a war nobody asked for? This is unhinged.
BREAKING: The Pentagon seeks $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war, AP source says.

Republicans refuse to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard because they’re hell bent on letting Trump’s secret police force run rampant. We must fund the critical security agencies that keep us safe—and abolish those that execute Americans in the streets.

What’s a better investment: $24 BILLION on a reckless war of choice in the Middle East, or fixing the roads, bridges, and infrastructure in our national parks & other public lands here at home? Trump made his choice. What’s yours?

Absolutely not.
SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for the Iran war supplemental, sources say Some White House aides think Congress won't support b/c it's so big Will tee up giant battle in Congress

Honored to join @MazonUSA at this year’s annual Hunger Seder on Capitol Hill. This year, it’s more important than ever that we stand up against the injustice & oppression of hunger. Food is a human right. No person in this country should go without.

By blocking power to Cuba’s hospitals, the United States is guilty of committing a serious human rights abuse. Under Donald Trump’s leadership, America is becoming an international pariah. Diplomacy and engagement should be our strategy. NOT a blockade.

Trump’s top economic advisor just said rising prices are the administration’s “last concern.” This is what happens when you have a government of, by, and for the out-of-touch Epstein class billionaire elites. This guy should be fired!

And now, gas prices have SURGED to $3.84. Another broken promise.
Promises made, promises kept. Gas prices are at their LOWEST average in nearly five years.

Senate Republicans have blocked funding for TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard FIVE TIMES.
It is high time for the Democrats to end the DHS shutdown. @TSA officers missed their most recent paycheck on Friday as a result of the Democrats’ DHS shutdown — for the THIRD time in nearly six months. As Americans across the nation face hours-long wait times at airports,

Trump is spending 2x more on war in the Middle East than @fema has set aside for a disaster here at home. His priorities are all screwed up.

In 18 days, Trump has burned $24 BILLION on his Iran War. That’s enough to eliminate the maintenance backlog in our national parks & public lands—paving roads, fixing bridges, & improving water systems. He’s burning billions overseas while neglecting America’s infrastructure.
