US House Minority Leader Rep Hakeem Jeffries D-NY is showing why he has never served in the US Military. He is a coward. He is considering supporting additional funding for NOT MY pres drumpf's / trump's and the gop / greed over people-republican party's illegal and immoral war on Iran because he is afraid of them using opposition to this war against him and the Democratic Party in the 2026 Midterms. Supporting and voting for additional funding for this war makes him and every representative and every senator who supports and votes for this cowards and complicit in violating the US Constitution as well as the war crimes being committed by the United States AND the deaths and wounding of American servicemen and servicewomen in this war. It also exposes their lack of intelligence and communication skills to explain the threat this illegal and immoral war is to our democratic Republic. Please sign the petition to congress from Demand Progress prevent any more funding for the war on Iran, and please e mail your representative and senators telling them to vote against all additional funding for this war. My e mails will be at the end of this post, I also called their D.C. offices.....

The U.S.-Israeli war of destruction on Iran has killed more than 1,255 Iranians and damaged 10,000 civilian structures, including homes, schools, and three dozen medical facilities. New footage revealed that the U.S. launched a tomahawk missile that hit an Iranian girls’ school on the first day of the war, killing some 168 people, nearly all of them children at their morning school sessions.1,2
Despite these escalating horrors, some Democrats including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries still won’t rule out voting for additional funding for Trump’s criminal war on Iran.3
Experts estimate the war costs taxpayers $900 million per day,4 meaning Trump’s unconstitutional war has now cost over $9 BILLION. The GOP is planning to ask for an additional $50 billion to continue relentlessly bombing Iran. Congress must unequivocally reject this proposal, which needs 60 votes to pass the Senate.
Sign the petition: End Trump’s horrific war and block ALL funding for airstrikes on Iran.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military will not abide by “stupid rules of engagement.”5 Hegseth, Trump, and Israeli forces have shown a complete disregard for the laws of war, civilian casualties, and international humanitarian protections.
A group of Senators are demanding a full probe into the appalling bombing of the Iranian girls’ school that killed so many children.6
Israeli strikes on fuel depots over the weekend left Tehran covered by a black cloud of toxic smoke, causing breathing problems, eye irritation, and a host of other serious health issues across the city.7
Congress can’t allow Trump, Hegseth, and a bloodthirsty GOP to continue this war. Our lawmakers must take a firm stand against pledging billions more to bomb Iran.
Sign the petition: Oppose funding for Trump’s war on Iran NOW!Thanks for taking action,
Joey and the Demand Progress team

The drumpf / trump-vance administration's and the gop / greed over people-republican party's war on Iran is illegal and immoral. I expect you to vote against all additional funding of this war and to work with the entire Virginia congressional delegation and House Minority Leader Rep Hakeem Jeffries to vote against all additional funding of this war. All who vote for additional funding for this war are complicit in the violation of the US Constitution, are complicit in the war crimes committed in this war and are complicit in the deaths and wounding of American military personnel during this war.
