It's been 36 hours since Trump plunged us into war with Iran. US servicemembers have been killed. And yet he's found time to throw a party at Mar-a-Lago, but no time for a live address to the American people about why we're at war half a world away. Pre-recorded social media clips won't cut it.

My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the servicemembers we’ve lost as well as those who are seriously wounded. The cost of war is real and devastating. I hope my colleagues will keep that in mind.

Trump's attack on Iran was not America First. Trump was played by Israeli PM Netanyahu and the Saudi Crown Prince. Putting Americans at risk to advance their personal ambitions is a complete betrayal of the American people. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Ask yourself, what precisely did these American service members die for and more importantly did they need to die at all. I’m thinking of their families and wishing those wounded a full and swift recovery.

John and I are holding the families of the American service members killed and wounded in action in our thoughts today. We honor their bravery and sacrifice. 🙏

Donald Trump has not made the case to the American people for his new war. There was no imminent threat to the country that justified putting our troops at risk. I'll be helping force a debate and vote in the Senate that would end it.

I’m thinking of the brave American soldiers killed today. They should still be with us. Trump said he would keep us out of war. This is his war of choice. I am praying for their loved ones. www.axios.com/2026/03/01/u...

It will be Americans who will pay for Trump’s war. Taxpayers will foot the bill. Wisconsin sons and daughters will be in combat. Mothers and fathers will have to grieve the loss of their loved ones from Trump’s war. Americans deserve better.

Our hearts grieve for these service members killed and those fighting for their lives. It’s a vital reminder that our troops are the ones that take on the risk and bear the sacrifices, not the decision makers.

I spent a lot of my career before I came to Congress countering Iranian terror groups. We have incredible professionals at the Department of Homeland Security who work to keep us safe in moments like these, but Trump has cut their jobs and undermined their ability from day one. 1/2

This is Trump's war of choice. He's chosen to put Americans in harm's way with no plan for what comes next. We've been here before with Iraq, and it was a disaster. Congress must step in, immediately, to halt the military action. Read my full op-ed in @ms.now.

Today, I've spoken with ambassadors to the US from Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates in the wake of this morning's attacks on Iran to reassure them of lasting and bipartisan American support.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it’s now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops’ lives at risk without a legitimate threat to our homeland or citizens.

Remember all those times Trump & Vance said they wouldn’t drag America into another war? They LIED. Their actions today put American lives at risk, undermine our broader interests around the world, & will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

The President can’t just start wars on a whim — Congress has to sign off on it. Let’s get back to DC and vote on this reckless war. I’m a hard no.

The Trump Administration must explain immediately how it plans to prevent its war with Iran from creating a chain reaction that hopelessly destabilizes the country or ignites a regional conflagration that jeopardizes the lives of American troops. Read my statement on the President’s war in Iran:

The power to declare war belongs to Congress—not to Trump. His strikes on Iran shred the Constitution and risk dragging us into an endless war. Congress needs to vote on a War Powers Resolution NOW and rein in Trump’s warmongering.

Trump’s war against Iran is illegal and a betrayal of the American people. Congress cannot allow Trump to drag yet another generation into a forever war.

No president has the right to drag the nation into war like this alone. The American people deserve a voice. Congress must return immediately to vote on this war. God bless our troops as they keep their oath. We, the people's elected representatives, must keep ours.

The President should not have initiated a large-scale attack on Iran without Congressional approval, the support of key allies around the world, or having made his case to the American people. (1/6)

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next. The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

Trump put far too little effort into diplomacy with Iran. He’s placing service members in harm’s way without any proof of imminent threat.

Donald Trump cannot stop breaking his promises. By illegally striking Iran, Trump made a choice—one he did not have to make—that puts American lives and national security at risk while threatening to draw us into yet another expensive, tax-payer funded forever war without Congressional approval.

Americans do not want another forever war in the Middle East. We have walked this road before & too many Americans paid the ultimate price. The president must do everything in his power to find a diplomatic solution. I am praying for peace & our servicemembers.
