@codepinkalert This is how out of touch members of Congress are. Rep. Ted Lieu thinks the "fatal flaw" exposed by the war on Iran is that the Pentagon runs out of munitions too quickly. The real problem is that if we give it $1 trillion every year, we will inevitably end up in these unnecessary, devastating wars. We don't need to get "better" at war spending. We need to stop spending so much on war.

@codepinkalert One year later, thousands of National Guard troops remain deployed in our streets, parks and Metro, at a cost of more than $1 billion, despite DC already experiencing a historic decline in violent crime. DC residents deserve self-government, full voting rights, and investment in our communities not an indefinite military presence. Free DC. Send the troops home.

@codepinkalert One year later, Trump still has thousands of National Guard troops stationed in D.C. They are wasting billions of taxpayer dollars to militarize D.C. communities at a time when crime rates were already decreasing. D.C. doesn't need armed soldiers on every corner. It needs fair representation and investment in education, healthcare, and housing. FREE DC!
