If Democrats & Republicans want to balance the budget and avoid a debt ceiling crisis, they should start with cutting handouts to the war machine! Defund the Pentagon, refund the people! ✌️

Months ago, McCarthy promised “no blank check” for the war in Ukraine, yet today, it seems he’s willing to spend all the money in the world on war and aggression as long as he can cut essential programs for working people.

In what world is an almost trillion dollar war budget "fiscally responsible"? If you're so concerned about spending,

@SpeakerMcCarthy

, why are you backing the largest Pentagon budget since WWII? Why are you pretending you can balance the budget on the backs of working people?

Why is

writing a blank check for war? While both parties debate the debt ceiling and budget cuts, just ONE PERCENT of the military budget could fund: ⚪ 1M+ public housing units ⚪ ~250k college scholarships ⚪ 100k+ teachers ⚪ 26M+ households' solar power

NEW: Of the $1.8 trillion federal discretionary budget in FY2023, 62% was used for militarized programs. That leaves less than $2 in $5 to invest in communities. Research from our @natpriorities team exposes the full extent of militarized spending today: ips-dc.org/report-warfare

small correction: we incorrectly identified the attacker's surname as McKnutson. His last is is actually Knutson.

We send our love and support to the Veterans for Peace member who was hurt by the protesters. We reiterate our commitment to fostering a society where differing opinions can be shared and debated in a peaceful and respectful.

We stand in solidarity with our co-founder Medea Benjamin, the event hosts Woman Against Military Madness and Veterans for Peace, and all individuals who were affected by this regrettable event. manner, free from aggression and violence.

One of the vets, a man in his seventies, came to assist and was pummeled to the ground by McKnutson. McKnutson’s assault resulted in the veteran being taken to the emergency room with a dislocated shoulder and a black eye.

~15 protesters gathered outside the event, chanting slogans such as “Medea Lies, Ukrainians Die.” The most aggressive protestor, Kieran McKnutson, was screaming at Medea that she was a Putin apologist & then grabbed her cell phone while she was attempting to film the situation.
