This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

If you think he cares about gas prices, housing costs, home electricity costs, inflation, no jobs, troops getting killed, grocery prices, health care costs, or anything else that would improve the lives of most Americans, you are wrong.

We agree with the Senator — Congress must not give any additional taxpayer dollars to fund this unconstitutional war on Iran.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Fertilizer prices spiked after the Iran War started.

This, along with higher diesel prices, will drive farmers out of business and raise grocery prices.

Solution? 1) stop getting into forever wars, & 2) transition to regenerative ag where we’ll need less (if any) fertilizer

Trump is forcing Texans to foot the bill to build inhumane detention facilities.

DHS wants to put a new, 8,500 person detention facility in El Paso that will drain precious water supplies for the county and raise costs for working families. Hell no. #txlege
