Tell the Senate: Reject Trump & Johnson’s $95B War Package
House Republicans just voted to pour $95 billion into Trump’s war agenda — while working families are being told to survive with less.
Speaker Mike Johnson pushed this dangerous package through the House to fund Trump’s escalating war agenda and other extreme priorities. While families are struggling with rent, groceries, healthcare, childcare, and rising costs, Trump and Johnson want to pour tens of billions more into war.
And this war is already costing American lives. Four U.S. soldiers were killed in recent days as the conflict escalated, a devastating reminder that every blank check for war puts more service members in danger.
The Senate must not rubber-stamp Trump and Johnson's plan. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the U.S. Senate must reject this package, strip out Trump’s political wish list, and refuse to hand the administration a blank check for more escalation.
Every dollar spent escalating conflict is a dollar not spent helping people survive. Americans need lower healthcare costs, stronger schools, food assistance, housing support, disaster relief, and real investments in their communities — not another massive war package rushed through Congress.
If the Senate caves, it will send Trump and his MAGA cronies a clear message that they can keep demanding more money for war while everyday people are told there is never enough for the programs they depend on.
But the Senate still has a chance to draw the line. Public pressure now can make it harder for senators to quietly go along with this reckless package and easier for them to reject more blank-check war funding.
Thanks for all that you do,
