60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.
Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Ordering this broken-down coal plant to stay open will cost Colorado ratepayers upwards of $85 million.
Ludicrously, the coal plant isn’t even operational right now, meaning repairs — to the tune of millions of dollars — are all on the backs of Colorado ratepayers!

President Trump “is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons,” the editorial board writes after the U.S. attack on Venezuela was announced on Saturday. “If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress.”

This strike doesn't represent strength. It's not sound foreign policy. It puts Americans at risk in Venezuela and the region, and it sends a horrible and disturbing signal to other powerful leaders across the globe that targeting a head of state is an acceptable policy for the U.S. government.

Once again, Richard Nixon’s presidency-ending crimes were harmless high school-level pranks compared to the daily lawlessness, corruption, & violation of our international treaty commitments that we now are seeing on a daily basis from Trump.
