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: End the Illegal War on Iran

Trump's unauthorized, unprovoked war in Iran has cost the lives of US service members and thousands of civilians in Iran and across the Middle East. And now, Trump is threatening a ground invasion and attacks on civilian infrastructure (which is a war crime). The American public firmly opposes this unjust war. On top of harming and endangering people abroad, the cost of living continues to soar at home to pay for this violence. The administration is expected to request $200 billion in increased funding for this chaos and some in the GOP are even calling for cuts to our healthcare (again) to pay for it. We call on Members of Congress to respond to this crisis and: Block any funding for this war. Not one dime. Use War Powers Resolutions to force votes to end this war. Hold Trump Administration officials accountable for their crimes and corruption.
