This is a total non-starter and every Democrat should fiercely oppose it. Authorizing a single dollar more for this illegal war would be unconscionable (much less $200B more!). If your congressmember isn’t raising all sorts of hell to stop this, then it’s time to replace them.
SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for Iran war supplemental, sources say Some in WH think Congress won't support b/c it's so big Will tee up giant battle in Congress My last story for WaPo: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Raising taxes on the wealthy won’t drive millionaires out of New York—it will help keep the city livable for everyone. Our Chair, and proud New Yorker, Morris Pearl explains why he’s willing to pay more in taxes so everyone can afford to live and enjoy all that New York City has to offer.
Trump’s threats to deploy troops to our city makes all of us less safe. This is un-American and creates chaos that only weakens our local communities and economy. New Yorkers want a safe and affordable city, and we are united in demanding that Trump keep his hands off NYC.
