Trump’s illegal war on Iran has cost the average U.S. household more than $760 in higher energy costs. That’s on top of the military spending an estimated $1B per DAY to keep waging it, with no end in sight. Trump is losing his own war of choice — and we’re paying for it.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

The only way to stop Trump’s endless wars is to stop funding them. But for Republicans, funding endless wars with your money is their brand, and Trump wants lots of new toys to play with so the draft dodger can feel strong and powerful watching videos of people getting blown up.
