Trump wants billions more for his war with Iran, and he needs Democratic votes to get it.

While most Dems are openly opposed to giving this lawless regime more money to kill Iranians, some are being cagey and Hakeem Jeffries is currently declining to organize House Democrats against war funding. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/hakeem-jeffries-wont-commit-iran-war-funding-defense-department-rcna262271

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would not commit to blocking any additional funding for the war in Iran, saying the president has so far failed to justify the war but “we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”

We need Democrats to be unified in their opposition but to get that, we constituents have to make it clear that a vote to fund this war isn’t just any vote — it's a vote that will define their political careers for years to come: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran-war/?source=mastodon
Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran

Trump's unauthorized war in Iran has already taken the lives of US servicemembers and at least 1,000 Iranian civilians. It has devolved into a larger regional conflict, with missile and drone strikes, military operations, and retaliatory attacks now wounding and killing civilians in countries across the Middle East. The American public is firmly against this conflict. None of us want another forever war. Congress must act. We’re calling on Members of Congress to respond to this crisis by: Conducting immediate oversight Continuing to force votes on War Powers Resolutions Restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, which includes opposing any supplemental packages that would fund the war Holding the Trump administration accountable and putting an immediate stop to this war. Publicly opposing the war Republicans need to understand that we will not accept their rubber stamping endless wars, and any Democrats who are falling short need to understand that we will hold them accountable.

I'm going to guess some of them have reservations about putting the troops out there without funding. Let's be clear, Trump, just like the American people who voted for him or stayed home, doesn't care in the least bit about the suckers and losers fighting his war.

@indivisibleteam Don't frame it that way. It's not money for Trump, it's money for Israel. They can't possibly not approve that.

@indivisibleteam

The popular thing is to straightforwardly oppose the war and refuse to fund it, you feckless dummies

@indivisibleteam It's weird that a brown dude named Hakeem is so interested in keeping the GOP in war and deportations. It'd be a shame if ICE kidnapped him from his car and no one came to look for him.
