We know Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth want more money for illegal wars and vanity projects like the “Trump battleship.” We know they’d make it happen at the expense of healthcare, education, and anti-hunger initiatives.
What they failed to anticipate, however, is a massive wave of public opposition, and the powerful ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Patty Murray (D-WA), jumping in to pump the brakes on their proposed $1.5 TRILLION war budget.
“I cannot accept a lopsided topline that helps defense CEOs while families get left behind,” Sen. Murray recently told reporters.
She’s right. And her stance has made her a target. Now, as the pressure ratchets up on Sen. Murray to fold, particularly from her Republican counterpart, Senate Appropriations Chair Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), it’s critical we — the anti-war majority — let her know we’re with her. Can you help send Sen. Murray a resounding message of gratitude and encouragement to keep up the fight and block Trump’s reckless budget from becoming a reality?
