Admit it, we've all been at least slightly afraid that Donald Trump would start a war because he couldn't control the urge to reach for his phone and tweet after watching a Fox and Friends segment about North Korea.
Well, yesterday North Korea's foreign minister said Trump's tweets amounted to a "declaration of war" against their regime.
In theory, Congress is supposed to serve as a check on presidential powers, especially when it comes to matters of war and peace. And with a impulse control-challenged madman as our Commander in Chief, it's never been more important that we elect progressive members of Congress who know the cost of war.
VoteVets has endorsed a number of them running for office. All winnable races. All will serve as a powerful check on Trump if elected. And each one of them has a critical FEC fundraising deadline this week.
Even in these chaotic times, it's the voices of veterans that are able to cut through the clutter -- it's the voices of veterans the American people trust to keep us safe from Trump. If everyone chips in, these candidates can win. And if they do, we will have done a bit more to keep our country safer during these dangerous times.
All my best,
