Americans are paying twice for Trump’s war: once to fund the bombs devastating civilians abroad, and again through the higher prices at home the war is responsible for. This bill would make the Pentagon absorb those economic costs instead of families.

Thank you @rokhanna.bsky.social for leading the Illegal War Refund Act. Trump is not only inflicting suffering in the region with his war, he’s also fleecing communities in the U.S. to pay for it.

A reminder this back-to-school season: Each year, instead of returning to classrooms, thousands of children are confined in facilities far away from home. For many, it’s a bad omen for a wave of adult criminalization in the not-so-distant future. Kids need care, not cages.

Residents say new legislation in England forcing landlords to fix dangerous hazards is not improving conditions Sarah Killick has been battling problems in her social home for months, including mould and damp.
