Can’t you just take the floor and say it?

Quick! Send another LETTER! Who is that in the blue?

Senator, respectfully, two weeks ago, there was a report that the war had cost ~$40B USD. During the same period, the out-of-pocket increase in cost to the American consumers was estimated at ~$110B USD. Those reading this are well aware of how much this war is costing us. Intimately aware.

They're not even giving us an accurate picture of deaths. They need to be held accountable. I need you to start talking about how you will hold them accountable. We're about to give you a majority, you better do something with it this time. I'm not sure you understand how mad we are.

Anything that is embarrassing or inconvenient for the 🍊🤡 regime is automatically classified, apparently. Inconceivable that a raw number, in and of itself, can be classified.

Smh..😕 WADR, the avg American likely sees worrying about that and putting it in some perspective as part of your job. Today their job is worrying about the cost of their day to day expenses. I think worrying about either is useless if Democrats aren't doing anything about Trump's plan to cheat.

Get out and vote today America Vote for change Vote blue 💙

What? You cant do it?

You lack vision and pretend to care

Trump doesn't respect the law, so why should the rest of us? Publish those numbers

There is more than one way to skin a monster. The letters do nothing.

Spending should always be public information!

Just read it into the record.

i don’t want my tax dollars to go towards rebuilding the exploded US military bases in the middle east. in fact, i don’t want any of my tax money to go to the military at all

YOU tell us, for God's sake.

Another plot brewing👇

I am pretty sure “because public release of the information would make the President and Sec of Defense look clueless and corrupt” is not grounds for a security classification.

D. Trump doesn’t want Americans to know just how much this war in Iran has cost in money and military lives D. Trump is the worst president this country has ever had Impeachment is what has to be done now!

I care more about how much death, fraud of taxpayer funds, and how much having your fucking illegals flood our country has cost us. You are wasting our time with your bullshit witch hunts, remember Russia, Russia, Russia, yeah a lie thanks Hillary Clinton that cost America $50m attacking Trump.

Yes we do ! Standing up in front of a camera claiming transparency is not true transparency. !

They’ve stolen all our tax money. What are you and the other enablers to the Republican Party doing about that?

We've lost our standing in the world, lost the trust of allies, lost the moral ground, lost decades of progress on human rights, womens rights, education... Those losses should be figured into the total cost of this f*cking illegal unjustified war. Trump is treasonous, an enemy of the people.

But, Biden ukraine was totally okay?... the ukraine president has become a sociopath killing off his own people. So, he can still get help from the whole world..

The Russians know. And the Russians are telling the Iranians. We are the only one who don't know how incompetent Felontrump has been...

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

They call it classified so they can justify not telling us how much of our tax dollars they are squandering on an unnecessary war that Trump started to distract from the fact that he is in the Epstein files and **ped children

Do Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans realize that it is the taxpayers' money they are using, and yes, we should see where it is being spent?

You could have made the amount public instead of creating a sound bite.

sometimes i think that every senator & congress critter should have a designated 'leaker' on staff ..someone who 90% of the time just shuffles paper & gets coffees, but when the moment is right, will literally take one for the team & make sure things that the public has a right to know get out there

There’s a million reasons this war is bad, but we could have spent that money on healthcare isn’t one of them. Nothing illustrates the insanity of basing policy on the limited supply of money than imagining that war making and domestic priorities are mutually exclusive. Think about it.

I don't know if you haven't noticed, but rules and laws appear to have been tossed aside by the Trump administration. So just tell us.

Trump, MBS, and Putin wanted those bases destroyed. That’s the whole point of this grift. Krasnov was told to get the US out of the Middle East

Trump ran on ending wars. He's running one with Iran on a classified budget and calling the receipts a national security secret.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

He is a traitor, he should be prosecuted. Demand that!

Demand! Just do it, Elizabeth. I heard it’s in the trillions! Bases were decimated.

I can’t imagine the justification for classifying the fiscal consequences of an executive decision to engage in an unwarranted conflict. It’s our money!

Hi @warren.senate.gov, It was refreshing to see you with Troy Jackson today. It even made me smile. 💙

Oh, no! Not a LETTER! Anything but that! Ouch!!

Trump’s Iran “excursion” should be a wake up call to DoD to stop wasting $$ on big, slow moving targets like Trump’s “Golden Fleet”. They’ve missed the lesson of Ukraine. it’s a world of CHEAP, rapid development & deployment. New radical thinking, strategy, & tactics are needed from BEST minds.

ERIC PRINCE 📣🆘 Brother of Betsy DeVoss: Pay to Play ✅🩸🌏

The Pentagon has long been a major pay to play department for the EPSTEIN Billionaires to steal money by schemes to buy government contracts for the Corporations they own! RED FLAGS 🚩 📣

Why can't the government switch to employing contractors for other fields, like climate change remediation, science, education, infrastructure, green energy, etc.? Just shift the money from death and destruction to life.

And the thing is, if we want a jobs program there's a hundred million jobs we could pay people to do that are better than blowing up school girls. Homeless people to be cared for, elderly to be looked after, trees to plant, streets to clean, etc.

I know that's the framing, but at this point it's really more of CEOs getting richer off bombing civilians while energy prices skyrocket and the debt grows.

And not being spent on #Ukraine. Or even worse the American president is openly supporting a ruthless dictator and undermining a democratic country. With, as a consequence, thousands of deaths. After the midterms #Democrats must alter this policy.

There are no rules anymore. Just tell us.

Well, gee.... if you & the entire DNC cohort hadn't abdicated to AIPAC et al, we wouldn't be in this situation. 🤬🤬🤬

Perhaps you would be willing to pay her legal fees...

We need a good old fashioned leaker. Why is the expenditure of OUR OWN freaking taxpayer MONEY classified in the first place ?

I fail to understand how this number is classified.

The only thing that should be classified is what we are spending the money on. Our adversaries don’t need to know what we are buying, but the American people deserve to know how much money has been spent and will be spent.

Do you actually trust those numbers? This administration, including the DoD (maybe especially the DoD) can't see to tell the American people the truth about anything. The lying drunk in charge of the DoD needs to go!

We should also know how much money is spent moving trump to a rally. I say one outdoor event costs taxpayers $50 million. There's dozens of agencies, 2000? humans involved in prep, event, post. There's quadruple of all services. Military bases r put into action. There's jets in the air.

Stop posting here about it! We know already! Go to the media and report it over & over!!

What about the HUMAN cost? How many dead and wounded are we not being told about? Every conflict we've been in since Vietnam has been on TV as morbid entertainment, but now we're not seeing anything except for 10 second clips of someone's mobile phone recording that got smuggled out.

I think she should retire and tell us everything she's been hiding over the decades of government work. Unfortunately, they never do.

Clearances aren't granted to members of Congress by the Executive. They flow from the office/committee assignments.

@warren.senate.gov I would also like to know the cost of murder-bombing boats in the Caribbean. Including but not limited to: What munitions are used, how expensive are they to replace, pay/wages of the persons deploying bombs x hours surveillance to identify targets.

We'd like to have a lot more information about the damage to US & foreign assets in the mideast because of the war. Not just the cost, but also a lot of video. A base so destroyed it was abandoned needs to be shown. No one cares if it comes from news companies or a Senator's office or Al Jareeza.

Girl, just get up on the floor of the Senate and say it.

Rebecca Michelle "Mikie" Sherrill is an American politician, former naval officer, and former federal prosecutor serving since 2026 as the 57th governor of New Jersey.[4]She is a member of the Democratic Party. .Kegseth is an incompetent joke youtube.com/shorts/6Y8vV... . 🚨SHARE🚨VOTE

With this despotic administration desperate to hide the disastrous effects of its idiocy from the voters, we will never get that number public under this or any future Republican administration. But we should. Good for Sen. Warren for trying at least (and highlighting the admin's mendacity).

You all need to take "how to fight for our democracy" classes

Speech and debate

And as an aside, this administration continues to waste our money on nonsense vanity projects like ballrooms, arches, and golf courses while my sick son struggles to get the care he needs, and is at risk of losing it entirely in 2027, because of cuts to healthcare funding from the cuts to medicaid.

Figures like this should *not* be classified! Period. We are paying for this. *We* are the bank account. We need to know our balance. #KnowOurBalance

Can we also call on the corp media to accurately report on the devastation. to our bases. Senator Kelly tried to find out but was refused access, which was also covered up by minimal coverage. MSM, we see what you did..stop protecting the R party, act like Dems did this.

This war's sole purpose is to enrich trump.

And if they don’t YOU NEED TO SAY IT OUT-LOUD because you just said we need to know!

Solution 4 this #VoterParticipationIsTheKey Counted votes will beat millionaire funding. Democrats must grow voter participation that's the way Mamdani & others won. 👇🏻 #VoteInNumbers2Big2Rig #ElectADemSuperMajority Dems must 👇🏻 #RescindTheTrumpBBBill #ImpeachTheSCOTUS6 #ImpeachConvictRemoveDT

Who would have access to classified documents like these? He might not even have the authorization to do so.

Absolutely make it public!

Tell us Elizabeth!!!! Be brave!

Do you have dementia Senator? The country has been toppled by a violent Evangelical cult and you're acting like it's 2002. Get out and fight or resign.

The base where my son was deployed outside of Kuwait City is gone - completely destroyed

and I'd bet you an Eisenberg's Reuben that those numbers are a lie by at least 50 percent.

So you know what the number is, but you won't disclose it? The villains aren't going to monologue. This isn't Scooby Doo. Tell American people what this is costing us.

You could also just make it public yourself rather than “calling on” liars and fascist criminals to do so.

Yeah...you might want to read about the caveats within that clause.

Just tell us.

Senator, can't you just say the number? These are not normal times and haven't been for a decade at least.

Why don't you make the numbers public?

NOW

I knew damn well that the supposed "cost of the war" didn't include damage to the bases, and this confirms it. Those true costs absolutely should be public.

Now that trump has publicly revealed his loyalty to Putin, I’m not sure how any democrat can trust a republican

I'm grateful for your insight into her thinking.

All to make Hegseth and trump erroneously appear to be strong and to distract from rampant corruption and more so the trumpEpstein files. It’s going to adversely affect the country for decades.

Leak it. Publish it. Stop covering up the regime’s crimes and truth of your “friends across the aisle”.

Is this classified for some reason? why not let us know yourself?

I saw 22 lives admitted to recently

I'll get you started. Fill in all the blank amounts.

Have they also briefed you on the actual losses of US bases, equipment, and US persons? Not just military but contractors too. The actual toll is much higher than the media is talking about. It should be a national talking point.

What if we all guess and you can like the comment that’s closest?

What year is it; 2026 or 2027, We're everyone ends up like a battery in the matrix movie going down Alice in the rabbit hole fighting back against delusional Trumpism GOP Party controlled by Monopoly controlled AI oligarchism of a false reality.

We deserve it because the power of the purse rests with Congress. You. You can tell us, you don't have to beg DoD. Congress and the courts are letting the executive keep way too many secrets.

TREASON!! ARREST THIS MOTHER FUCKER! REPUBLICANS ARE SUPPORTING TREASON!! RED LINE! THEY ARE MARKED FOR SUPPORTING TREASON NOW!!

counting the cost is step one. step two is refusing to pay it: no funding, no authorization, no escalation. congress holds the purse strings, time to pull them.

do you believe that the president has committed treason by launching this illegal war? and/or by defying Congress to aid Russia in their illegal war in Ukraine?

Yeah, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES TODAY NOW! VOTE DEMOCRATIC! NATIONAL EMERGENCY! CODE RED!

WE pay for it. It is OUR money. We have every right to know

Why don’t you give us a hint

And how many of our sons and daughters have perished for their illegal war?

The real question is if we're going to throw good money after bad and rebuild those bases in the future. I'd rather spend that money on universal healthcare, universal childcare, school breakfasts/lunches, high-speed rail, and free higher education (college/vocational schools/apprenticeships).

The amount of taxpayer money is classified? Let's say it is 59.5 billion. Can you senators publish that it is under 59.6 billion?

Since when would that info be classified? It's our money and military.
