“12 days ago, Donald Trump took us to war against Iran. Since then, 7 American servicemembers have been killed, and 140 more have been wounded. Instead of protecting our troops, Trump is making it easier for enemies to kill them. None of us are mourning Ayatollah Khamenei. The moment this war started, oil prices spiked. Anyone who has looked at a map knows that a war in the Middle East affects oil prices. It has happened every single time. But apparently no one at the White House looked at the map. So now, American families, who are already struggling to put food on the table, are paying 20 percent more for gas because of Trump's war. The administration's response to the crisis they created is to back off sanctions on Russian oil. So American families are hurting while Trump is making more money for Vladimir Putin. The administration has given Russia a lifeline just as they needed it. U.S. officials confirmed last week that Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to help target U.S. servicemembers. Russia is telling Iran where our troops are and where the military assets are. Just think about that. Russia is giving Iran a map to find and kill Americans, and in our response, we are going to allow them to sell their oil to other countries to fund their war machines--all while Steve Witkoff, the President's envoy, is happy to take Putin, a professionally trained liar, at his word when he says they aren't sharing intel with Iran.”
