This is what your tax dollars bought.

The Pentagon burned through $93.4B in one month.

That included billions on foreign purchases, king crab, lobster tail, furniture, and even a grand piano.

Our tax dollars should serve people, not waste and war.

Going live today at 4 PM PT with Hartzell Gray for an evening conversation about the future of our communities and the fight ahead.

People-powered campaigns win when we show up together.

#PickRose #CA02

Deadly incompetence.

A U.S. strike hit an elementary school in Iran, killing children, and the preliminary inquiry says outdated U.S. targeting data was to blame. Trump tried to dodge responsibility. This is what reckless war looks like. End it.

#PickRose

Healthcare shouldn’t depend on your job, your income, or where you live.

I supports Medicare for All and believe healthcare should be guaranteed for every American.

Care when you need it — not when insurance companies approve it.

#PickRose #MedicareForAll

Great turnout today at the Redding Library for our International Women’s Day event.

I was honored to share the stage with Audrey Denney and hear from so many neighbors.

The only way forward is working together to build a future that puts people first.

#PickRose #CA02

Funny how there’s always money for war…

but never for Medicare, schools, or Social Security.

Maybe it’s time we call Congress.

#PickRose #CA02 #PeaceDividend

I believe our government has a moral obligation to serve the people who fund it. That means healthcare as a right. Housing as a right. Our tax dollars should be building dignity and security for working families, not protecting a system that leaves many behind.

#PickRose #Healthcare #Housing #CA02

“Imminent threat” has become Washington shorthand for “don’t ask questions, just accept more war.” The answer is diplomacy and inspections, not another disaster sold to the public on panic.

#PickRose

Same pattern. Same destruction. Same bill handed to ordinary people. We cannot keep normalizing economic pain at home and war abroad as politics as usual.

#PickRose

If you have less than $500 million, you are closer to the person struggling without housing than to a billionaire. That should tell us everything about who this economy is really built for. I’m running to tax extreme wealth and put people first.

 #PickRose #TaxTheRich #CA02

Washington always seems to find money for bombs.

But when it comes to healthcare, housing, or helping seniors afford the care they need, suddenly the money disappears.

Our priorities are backwards.

We should be investing in people, not endless war.

#PickRose #PeaceDividend #CA02

What is the worth of a life? Reports say 175 young girls were killed in an airstrike in Minhab, Iran. This is an atrocity. Leaders who enable war, no matter the party, must be voted out. Our tax dollars should never fund slaughter.

#PickRose #CA02

Every second this war continues, your money is burning.

The U.S. is spending about $1 BILLION a day on strikes in Iran.

That’s billions for bombs while families struggle with rent, healthcare, and groceries.

Endless war is a choice. I choose peace.
Bring our money home.

#PickRose #EndTheWars

I’m Rose Penelope Yee, running for Congress in CA-02. I’m calling on Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to lead a real opposition and stop this war on Iran. No legal or moral case for it. Condemn the attacks and protect civilians.

 #PickRose #CA02

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem out, Trump says She will be replaced by Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Trump said Thursday.

Changing leadership will not change the reality: ICE is a rogue agency that terrorizes communities and rips families apart. ICE did not exist until 2003, and there is no reason for it to exist now.

#PickRose #AbolishICE #ImmigrationJustice

Another one spotted 👀

Rose for Congress banners are popping up across California’s 2nd Congressional District.

Seeing supporters take the time to put these up across the district means a lot. Grassroots campaigns grow one neighbor at a time.

Thank you to everyone.

Spotted in the wild 👀

Rose for Congress banners appearing across California’s 2nd Congressional District thanks to amazing volunteers and supporters.

People-powered campaigns start in our communities.

#PickRose #CA02

We want health care, not warfare. I am fighting for Medicare for All, because people in Northern California should be able to see a doctor without fear of the bill. No to the war in Iran. 

#PickRose #MedicareForAll #Peace #CA02

Congress gears up for vote on Trump's war powers in Iran — after the battle began Democrats and a few Republicans are calling for curbing President Trump's unilateral use of military power in Iran, despite previous such efforts failing to advance.

I’m calling for de-escalation and diplomacy, and for Congress to do its job with a public debate and a recorded vote.

 #PickRose

The climate crisis is already here in Northern California. I believe we must confront it head-on by investing in clean energy jobs, funding wildfire resilience, and holding polluters accountable.

Protect our communities. Protect our future.

#PickRose #ClimateJustice #CA02 #WildfireResilience

We want affordable housing. We do not want war. Our taxpayer money should be spent building homes here at home, not building bombs. No to the war in Iran. 

#PickRose #HousingIsAHumanRight #Peace #CA02

It’s inconceivable that we spend more on the military than the next countries combined, while families here still face housing insecurity and medical bankruptcy.

If you have less than $500 million, you’re closer to the person living in a tent city than to a billionaire. That’s how extreme wealth inequality has become.

Corporate PACs and dark money distort priorities and leave working families behind.

I supports banning corporate PAC money, overturning Citizens United, and restoring transparency and accountability in government.

It’s time to put voters before donors.

#pickrose

I’m not going to normalize a war with Iran.

Congress needs to step in now: transparency, debate, and accountability, and an immediate end to these attacks.
Diplomacy and de-escalation are the only responsible path.

#PickRose #NoWarWithIran #Peace #Diplomacy #CA02

Eighty-five schoolgirls reportedly killed in the first airstrike. That is not acceptable.

We need an immediate end to these attacks and a return to diplomacy. Peace is the only responsible path forward.

#PickRose #Peace #CA02

I reject the idea that war is inevitable. We need transparency, debate, and accountability now, and an immediate end to these attacks. Diplomacy and de-escalation are the only responsible path.

#PickRose #Peace #WarPowers #Diplomacy #CA02

A girls’ school in Minab was hit, and children are dead. This is an atrocity. Stop the strikes, protect civilians, and demand accountability now.

 #ProtectCivilians #WarPowers

Families are getting squeezed while the ultra-wealthy keep special breaks. I will fight to close corporate loopholes, end corporate welfare for Big Oil, and make billionaires pay their fair share so we can fund our communities.
