Tell Congress: No Additional Pentagon Funding

Tell Congress: No Additional Pentagon Funding

Donald Trump and his regime seem bent on using military force in truly reckless, self-serving, and unprecedented ways. Possibly on American soil, against American citizens. Possibly to suppress lawful dissent against his regime’s abuses. So Trump is asking his MAGA sycophants in Congress to increase the Pentagon budget to a mind-boggling $1.5 trillion — 50% more than it was already scheduled to get.


To Every Member of Congress

Our military budget is beyond outrageous already. The Pentagon does not need and does not deserve an additional $500 billion — money that could and should be used to address our nation’s great challenges. The Pentagon has never passed an audit. It is, historically, the greatest source of waste, fraud, and abuse in the entire federal government by far. But even if none of that were true, Donald Trump has made it crystal clear that he does not respect the military, those who sacrifice for their country, or the American people at large. He has made it crystal clear that he will deploy the military irresponsibly and illegally. He has made it crystal clear that he has no qualms about deploying the military domestically, on American soil, against American citizens. Given all of this and more, no representative or senator should vote for even one dollar in additional Pentagon funding.
