This war is bleeding America dry — 17 service members dead, nearly 100 more wounded, and a Pentagon hiding casualties from the public until reporters forced it out. The White House keeps declaring victory while Iran keeps killing Americans and oil prices keep climbing. Three ceasefires have collapsed, Congress is revolting and polls show 57% of Americans know this war was a mistake.
Republicans just handed Trump and Pete Hegseth a $73 billion blank check for a war that's killed 17 service members, wounded 400-plus and sent gas prices soaring. That money could've cut health care premiums for 20 million Americans for three straight years. This isn't what voters asked for — it's an open wallet for a conflict with no end in sight.
