**Stop Cutting Federal Programs and End the War in Iran** Stop cutting federal funding for programs that benefit Americans. Medicare, Medicaid, and child care programs are essential services that millions depend on. Trump himself admitted we can't afford these cuts because of the war, yet the administration continues slashing domestic programs while pouring billions into military operations in Iran. The administration spent $11.3 billion on military operations in Iran in just six days last month. That money could have provided $10 per day child care for every American family while paying child care workers $25 per hour. Three weeks of war spending could cover vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior on Medicare for an entire year. Trump knows we can't afford this war, yet it continues while Americans lose vital services. Freezing child care funds for states like California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York based on unsubstantiated fraud claims punishes working families. Minnesota investigated the allegations and found day care centers operating normally. Families cannot pay the price for baseless accusations. Vote against any proposal that cuts federal funding for Medicare, Medicaid, and child care. End the war in Iran immediately and redirect that spending to Americans who need it.
