Trump got 3 American soldiers killed today because of his unconstitutional war of choice. Everyone should be mad as hell that this warmonger in chief is sending people’s sons and daughters into yet another unjustified war. #NoWarWithIran #EndForeverWar // @commondefense

The scariest thing this Halloween? Not voting. 🎃🗳️ Election Day is just seven days away! Don’t let your future be a horror story. Make a plan to vote this November. We’ve seen what happens when you don’t answer the call. 📺

Common Defense is proud to endorse two Ohio candidates who will stand up for veterans and military families: Sherrod Brown, who is running for Senate, and Kristina Knickerbocker for Congress in Ohio’s 10th district. We’re proud to stand with both of them!

Those who serve our country want and deserve leaders who put them first. Yet our new polling with @ChangePolls found 79% say veterans and military families are being left behind, and 63% believe the country is on the wrong track. Learn more: bit.ly/4dWapIT

Yesterday, Common Defense rallied in Brooklyn and Queens with one message: No more forever wars. The war with Iran puts lives at risk and asks families back home to pay for another open-ended conflict. Veterans and military families deserve diplomacy and peace.

Common Defense is proud to endorse Sarah McBride for Congress in Delaware! Veterans and military families deserve leaders who will listen and fight for the support they’ve earned. Sarah is that kind of leader, and we’re proud to stand with her this November.

Amy Acton's brother reacts to Vivek Ramaswamy using their estranged mother in a campaign ad: "...Our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants.”

Donald Trump's ICE has separated over 6,200 children. Michele Tafoya still welcomed his endorsement. Peggy Flanagan will defend Minnesotans, not ICE.
This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process. I hope you'll watch my TV ad:

Before everyone freaks out, let’s remember that KSTP had Peggy losing the primary and yet she wrapped up election night +20. Ignore the polls and go knock some doors for @peggyflanagan , @keithellison , and the entire @MinnesotaDFL ticket. 19 days to go!
KSTP/SurveyUSA: The latest result of our polling shows Minnesota U.S. Senate race statistically a dead heat, with Democrat Peggy Flanagan leading Republican Michele Tafoya 45% to 42% with 4.2% margin of error. The poll includes 38% DFL, 34% GOP and 26% independent voters. @KSTP

Governor Pritzker has been leading the charge on so many issues that matter to Illinoisans. Under his leadership, IL has invested in modernized veterans’ housing, educational opportunities, and so much more! We are proud to endorse him for another term.

We are proud to endorse Justin J. Pearson for Congress! Justin understands that standing with veterans means ensuring they have the support they need long after taking off the uniform and has shown he is ready to fight for Tennesseans in DC.

It's been 20 days since Republicans fled DC rather than vote to impeach Hegseth, stop Trump's illegal war, or pass the Major Richard Star Act.
