My comment: βI donβt think any Democrat can credibly claim to lead the party or the country without opposing Trumpβs reckless, lawless war. Honestly, it shouldnβt even be a tough call.β
If itβs a test, itβs an easy one. A vote to fund the war is a vote for the war.
I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

ProPublica's damning new database exposes Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg's Cerberus firms snagging $151 billion in Golden Dome contracts while he keeps financial ties, proving Trump's second term is an all-you-can-eat buffet for insiders. Ethics is in the toilet.

BREAKING NYT:
The Justice Department, in the wake of Trump calls to criminally investigate President Biden, scrutinized whether Biden and his aides broke the law in using the autopen to sign presidential documents β but couldn't move forward with making a case.

Iran-Contra happened 40 years ago! It *literally* involved the US selling weapons to... Iran.
So, the argument is we were funding the armed forces of a country we were at war with?
Right-wing Christian media are celebrating Trumpβs war with Iran as a fulfillment of End Times prophecy.
