NIH research has supported nearly every new drug in the past decade, but President Trump wants to cut its budget by $5 billion next year. The President’s cuts will take cures away from patients and hope away from families.

President Trump relented in his threat to wipe out Iranian civilization less than two hours before his deadline, after terrorizing the world for 48 hours. (1/3)

Trump is a military moron. His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it. And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.

I’m relieved to see that the president has backed down on his threat to commit war crimes in Iran.

Diplomacy has always been the answer, which is why the President shouldn’t have gotten us into this war of choice. It’s been reckless, cost U.S. soldiers their lives, and is raising prices on families. A ceasefire is a start, but Congress needs to do our jobs and end this war.
- RB
A ceasefire is good news—only because this purposeless war should be ended as soon as possible. The best time to cease fire was before the war began, & before Trump wasted tens of billions, cost thousands of lives, triggered global economic & energy crisis.
- MH
It's a relief that President Trump agreed to a ceasefire rather than follow through on his unhinged threats, but let's be clear: Granite Staters and Americans want a permanent end to this illegal, dangerous, and costly war.

Earlier this year, @sanders.senate.gov and I secured $4.6 million in federal funding to help build Vermont’s largest dental clinic. I visited the future site in Colchester to celebrate this project that will go on to provide thousands of Vermonters with affordable, quality care.

A return to diplomatic regional discussions will save lives and dollars and protect America's long-term interests, while President Trump’s irresponsible words and actions undermine them. Congress must impose constraints on this President’s wrongheaded use of force.

I'm on the train back to DC – I call on all my colleagues to come back, too. Congress must vote to end this war IMMEDIATELY.

Honored to award St. Francis Hospital $1.5 million in federal funding for their services to help survivors of violence. Thank you to their staff, volunteers, & all involved in helping to heal the physical & psychological wounds of trauma.

Trump may have backed down for now, but he’s shown how unhinged he is by threatening the death of a “whole civilization.” I’m heading back to DC to try and get answers for the American people. Congress needs to return to the Capitol immediately and vote to end this war.

The Trump Admin and Congressional Republicans’ devastating cuts to Medicaid and the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits are forcing people to sacrifice their health just so they can afford rent and groceries.

DHS's threat to remove customs services from CT is just another example of lawless bullying from the Trump Administration—punishing states for refusing to bend the knee to Trump's reckless, harmful immigration policies. www.reuters.com/world/dhs-sa...

I’m glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn’t be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can’t simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.
- JM
Trump’s threats against Iranian civilians are shocking and dangerous. They break every moral code. Congress needs to return to D.C. NOW and vote to rein in this insanity. We know this is wrong. It shouldn’t be partisan.

I’m in DC today, ready and able to vote to rein in this out-of-control war. Republicans control the Senate and the House – they need to have the courage to call us back into session and then vote to hold this President accountable.

Swap Putin for Orban here: “Orbán has been with the president for a very long time. He was with him through the trials and tribulations, through the entire campaign.”

Justice Department attorneys aren’t Donald Trump’s personal attorneys. They’re OUR attorneys. And they work for our country—not just him.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do. When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide. We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.
- EM
Reminder: Right now, Democrats have a chance to stand up to Trump's chaos. Trump just requested an additional $1.5 trillion in military funding. We cannot hand over a huge check to a President intent on committing war crimes. I will do everything in my power to block it.
- TS
Threatening to wipe out an entire civilization is morally bankrupt and a major war crime, risking the lives of innocent civilians - including children. He seems detached from reality. I don’t know who (if anyone) can get through to him. Congress needs to step in and stop him.
- SW
An aged and compromised Commander-in-Chief is losing his grip on reality, increasing dangers at home and for our brave troops overseas. Threatening to inflict massive civilian casualties is un-American; the stuff of cruel dictators. Republicans should no longer stand idly by.
- RD
This is a power grab by a weaponized Trump Justice Department. State bar associations investigate ethical misconduct of all barred attorneys. The Trump DOJ can’t be trusted to investigate DOJ attorneys. State bars should continue to independently investigate.

Donald Trump said “a whole civilization will die tonight”. There is no room for interpretation. The President of the United States is threatening genocide in Iran.

The President started this war flying by the seat of his pants. Now he’s threatening an outrageous, unconscionable escalation. We need a clear exit strategy, not a President recklessly putting even more U.S. servicemembers and innocent lives in harm’s way.

What Pres. Trump suggested in this morning’s Truth Social post is wrong, ominous, and against America’s interests and ideals. His reckless rhetoric is unacceptable.

Today, President Trump issued an ultimatum that “Iran’s whole civilization will die tonight” unless the regime complies with his demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He is threatening war crimes to fix a crisis he created. This is a reckless, dangerous escalation.

The Trump administration wants to create further chaos in our airports and our country. These ideas aren’t solutions, they're just retaliation that’ll make life harder for us.

The President is now threatening to wipe out a country of more than 90 million people, days after he said the war was about to end. It’s completely unhinged, illegal, and more proof that Congress must immediately stop this war and end this madness.

Donald Trump’s threat to destroy “a whole civilization” because a war that he started is not ending by a date he randomly set is unhinged AND threatens a war crime. My statement:

The President is threatening to destroy an entire civilization. Congress must finally reclaim its war power from this increasingly dangerous president. Before he creates more chaos and destruction. Before more servicemembers get killed.

Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight. He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

Trump’s escalation in Iran is reckless. It is unconstitutional. It is dangerous with consequences both vast and globally destabilizing. Right now, the world is holding its breath - watching, waiting, with many fearing what comes next. Moments like this are why the Senate exists.

“A whole civilization will die tonight," is plainly threatening genocide and war crimes. Congress MUST step in. Republicans need to join Democrats to take action. Call Congress back into session—we should vote to end this war immediately.
