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:

I've been in the situation room before and I know that Trump is not setting our service members up for success. He's risking lives over a war the American people do not want.

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.

Americans do not want another forever war in the Middle East. Congress must return to DC immediately to reassert its war powers.

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.
- AK
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.
- RW
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.

I have seen no indication there was any immediate threat to Americans. So why did we put troops in harms way and potentially ignite another forever war?

I join all Americans in praying for the U.S. service members who are in harm’s way today, a day on which President Trump recklessly and unilaterally decided to enter our country into another foreign war. My full statement:

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

Trump is drawing our country into yet another foreign war that Americans don’t want and Congress has not authorized. The Iranian regime is a brutal and murderous dictatorship. But that does not give Trump the authority to unilaterally initiate a war of choice.
- AK
We’ve seen what happens when America goes into conflict in the Middle East without long-term strategy. When it comes to war, I — like the American people — do not trust this President.

Issues of war and peace should be treated with the utmost consequence. Trump owes Americans the same thing he was demanding of previous presidents if he’s going to put lives at risk. He hasn’t laid out the goals or the imminent threat posed by Iran that justifies risking a wider regional war.

Donald Trump is unilaterally dragging us into another costly and deadly war in the Middle East that the American people don't want. Trump and Hegseth are putting American lives on the line to make themselves feel powerful, while our military families pay the real price.

War must always be a last resort & never a first choice. The Trump Administration seems to be engaging in a war of choice that rejects opportunities for diplomacy. 1/

President Trump’s military campaign against Iran and call for regime change are the beginning of a reckless new war of choice with no clear strategy and no clear endpoint. This is not how a democracy goes to war.

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a ‘cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

President Trump fully acknowledging that this is a “war” and that American lives “may be lost.” All done against our Constitution, against the will of the American people, and without Congress’ approval.

This is me soon after I joined the Scouts. I went on to become an Eagle Scout, where I learned how to work with kids from different backgrounds to reach a common goal, like staying dry on rainy nights with nothing but a tarp. Every kid should have access to these kinds of lessons.
