Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 29mTrump's Iran war is driving oil above $100 a barrel and making groceries, health care, and housing more expensive. American families are paying the price for his war of choice. End the war. 043

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Trump's illegal and unconstitutional Iran war is driving $6 gas and $7 diesel. No Russian diesel deal or other distraction will fix the crisis he created. The American people want this war to end, and it must. 1151
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Trump gave himself an “A+” on the economy, even as Americans are paying $4.33 a gallon for gas, $6.18 for diesel, and facing 3.7% inflation. Those prices are spiking because of his illegal war in Iran that's cost us another $44 billion and counting. We need to end the war now and bring down prices. 272

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Trump's Russian diesel deal would help bankroll Putin's war machine without meaningfully lowering fuel prices for Americans. It's illegal, ineffective, and no substitute for ending Trump's Iran war. 051
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Trump started an illegal war with Iran that sent fuel prices soaring. Now he's rewarding Putin with a Russian diesel deal while pressuring Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil facilities. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/world/eu…nytimes.comTrump Hands Victories to Putin, Who Offers More War in ReturnRussia has reaped a diesel deal and an increase in U.S. pressure on Ukraine as President Trump’s political needs align with his longstanding inclinations toward Russia. 296
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Trump announced an energy cease-fire that Ukraine knew nothing about and Russia immediately violated. A cease-fire that Putin refuses to honor isn't a cease-fire. Trump needs to put pressure on Putin, not Zelenskyy. 1519141
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 13/10/2026A federal search of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home three weeks before Election Day is highly suspicious, especially given Trump's history of disgusting Islamophobic attacks against her.
