James Talarico: Military disasters like the Iraq War robbed this nation.
How do you look a parent in the eye and tell them you've sacrificed their child's life for Big Oil's bottom line?
As US Senator, I will never vote to send someone's son or daughter to war to make billionaires richer.

And now Trump thanked them with a gift — the nation of Venezuela, home to the largest oil reserves in the entire world.

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

James Talarico calls out bill forcing schools to display the Ten Commandments:
This bill is not only unconstitutional and un-American, it's also deeply un-Christian.
Instead of a bill that will feed the hungry—we're mandating that people put up a poster. We're imposing our beliefs on other people.

James Talarico exposes GOP private school voucher scam:
“Elon Musk is a Texas resident and is eligible for these funds.
He has 8 children. That's $2 million in funds for Elon Musk.
You're taking tax dollars of plumbers and nurses to subsidize families who already have kids at private schools."
