“Every bomb dropped abroad is a bill sent home. Every war waged in the name of ‘security’ is paid for by Americans who go without — without affordable healthcare, without stable housing, without a government that prioritizes their well-being. As the U.S. pours trillions into endless wars and military expansion, Americans are left paying the price — not just in dollars, but in lost freedoms and eroded constitutional protections. This is not national defense. This is organized theft.” (04/09/26)
