It’s Congress’ JOB to rein in the president. Instead the GOP does Trump’s bidding while establishment Democrats wring their hands. These are many of the same Democrats, including my opponent Derek Kilmer, who voted to approve Trump’s recent war budget, the NDAA.
This NDAA lacked amendments for preventing funding for war with Iran or repealing the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). A vote for this NDAA was a blank check for Trump to keep bringing us to the brink of war with whichever country is his hate-flavor of the day.
Derek Kilmer & the rest of the corporate Democrats offering thoughts & prayers are no match for Trump and his apparently limitless war powers. How can we expect them to be when they’re in the pocket of the military-industrial complex, whose stock prices went up the past few days?
Corporate Kilmer, after all, took $10K from Raytheon in 2014 — and the following year cosponsored a bill authorizing $286 million for the development of a new Israeli missile defense program being developed by Raytheon.
Corporate Democrats like him aren’t going to rein in the imperial presidency. Here’s what will:
Refusing money from defense contractors and the rest of the military-industrial complex
Fighting to repeal the AUMF
Defunding our endless wars
Invoking the War Powers Resolution
Ending the president’s sole power over deploying nuclear weapons
That's what I'm fighting for now and will keep fighting for in Congress. If you want Democrats who will actually fight the GOP and our endless wars, please donate to help get me to Congress:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/rebecca-twitter …

They are wringing their complicit hands.......because they took out Gabbards amendment to revert war decisions to the congress. So Pelosi made sure it was not in the bill.pic.twitter.com/1NPuPB8Gog
