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.
