The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No authorization from Congress. No reason our service members should be dead. And no exit plan or strategy. This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

What is the cost of this war going to be? We already know that gas prices are going to go up. The American people are already concerned about cost of living.

The Trump family is raking in billions from crypto. How? Well, it helps that they removed ALL attorneys from CFTC Enforcement Division in Chicago, which oversees many crypto companies. Corruption. Enriching themselves at your expense.

If Trump won't rule out boots on the ground, then Congress needs to. NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

Four American service members have died already since Trump started this war. My heart is heavy for their families & loved ones. And the President’s response? He said more troops are “likely” to die & that’s just the “way it is.” He’s wrong. We never have to accept that.

My deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of these three service members we lost. We are eternally grateful for their bravery and sacrifice for our country.

Trump is raising prices at home while razing countries abroad. In addition to untold casualties, Trump's illegal war with Iran will lead to skyrocketing oil prices, and we know the Big Oil vultures are already circulating. We can't let Trump drag us into another endless war.

President Trump was supposed to be talking about the war he's started in Iran that's already claimed the lives of four service members. Instead he's talking about ballrooms and curtains. It's clear he can't be bothered with the safety of our troops.

Have we learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? More war isn’t the answer. If it were, the past 70 years would have produced a better outcome than what we see today. www.wsj.com/opinion/an-u...

When it comes up for a vote this week, I’ll be a YES on @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran that has already killed at least four American servicemembers and injured dozens more.

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war. The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy. Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

Secretary Hegseth was unwilling to answer when does this end. The President campaigned last year saying, 'no forever wars,' and yet there is the potential to get into another endless war in the Middle East.

The American people need answers about what we're doing in Iran and why we're doing it. We need to hear directly from the Commander-in-Chief, not a cabinet secretary taking questions from a handpicked press corps.

At a recent town hall I did in NJ, everyone raised their hands when I asked if they opposed military strikes against Iran. Let’s be clear: Americans don’t want another endless war in the Middle East. This must come to an end.

President Trump ran for president opposing wars like this. Now, he’s pursuing regime change in Iran with no clear strategy and no intention of making the case to the American people.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran. Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children. Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition. These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran? Does anyone really believe that?

Congress holds the power to declare war - not the President. I will be joining Senators Kaine, Paul and Schumer in forcing a vote on our war powers resolution to make it clear: Congress has not authorized this use of our military.

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next. What a disgrace.

Trump can’t even get his reasoning straight for why he’s bringing us into another war. This needs to come to a stop before it spirals out of control and we repeat the mistakes of Iraq.

These are heinous crimes and I have been working across the aisle to make it easier for law enforcement to hold perpetrators accountable. My bipartisan bill, the Take It Down Act, was signed into law and criminalizes sharing or threatening to share non-consensual intimate images.

Why are Democrats afraid to talk about climate, when so many people already connect the dots between fossil fuel polluting emissions and their family’s financial costs? Home insurance is a HUGE cost for so many families, and getting worse fast!!

No war with Iran. There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective. I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.

Small businesses across Minnesota are rebuilding. Showing love matters — but so does investing in our communities by shopping local. I stopped by LomaBonita in Richfield and was glad to see long lines at this new neighborhood grocery store.

Trump and Republicans keep getting asked what’s next in Iran. Their answers are “hopefully” this or “we hope” that. Hope is not a strategy, and a plan built on hope alone is how we end up in decades-long wars that cost thousands of American lives.

"Trump the Wheedler” resembles the man in Gulliver’s travels who spent “eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers.” And note: “the systemic stupidity and toadyism that tyranny breeds.” Meaning Putin or Trump? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

New reports that ICE is moving around 100 vehicles from Minneapolis to Washington Co, MD are alarming. I’m pressing for answers & will continue to fight back against Trump’s lawless ICE & mass deportation operation in our communities. This is not what Marylanders want.

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.

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.
