Trump just brought us to the brink of all-out war by recklessly, ineffectively, and illegally bombing three Iranian nuclear facilities. In the coming days, the Senate could hand him a virtual blank check for BILLIONS more worth of bombs and bullets.
Here’s the kicker: While we’ve been racing tirelessly to prevent a war, Republicans have plotted to pay for Trump’s Pentagon plus up by cutting $1 TRILLION to vital programs that people depend on — gutting life-saving programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and more. But a majority of Americans oppose this budget plan. That’s why House Republicans passed their budget last month by a one-vote margin.
We have a real opportunity to push this dangerous budget fully off the rails: Republicans in the Senate can only afford three “No” votes — and several have already expressed concerns about the bill. The thing that can help us secure a majority? Constituent voices.
