Article I, Section 9 states “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law.” Mr. Speaker, there was no vote to authorize the unconstitutional War in Iran. ~

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

It's important to keep in mind that we're funding Trump's needless war at $2 billion a day AND Republicans are letting him do it. Vote them all out. Every single one of them.
