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)
- CS
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.
- CC
If reports are true, it seems that under this deal, Iran will still maintain control of the Strait, a worse situation than before Trump began this war of choice.
- CC
As we wait to hear more about the ceasefire, one thing is clear: just like every time Trump negotiates, he made horrific and unbelievable threats, backtracked, and ultimately harmed American credibility to secure a deal that leaves our nation worse off.
- CC
I’m relieved to see that the president has backed down on his threat to commit war crimes in Iran.
- TB
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
All for a war that Trump cannot even begin to explain & that has achieved none of his constantly shifting & contradictory objectives. A ceasefire for the American people is no victory.
- 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.

I’m demanding Secretary Kennedy thoroughly assess the economic impacts of these cruel health care cuts so Congress has a clear picture of the health care crisis Washington Republicans have ignored and made worse.

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.

Not to mention the serious danger this poses to American troops and risk of entrapping us in another endless war in the Middle East that nobody asked for.
- 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.

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.
- GP
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.

Now, Americans are paying the price. Oil prices are soaring – up 35 percent in Colorado. Iran is more radical than ever and has killed our troops. Russia is cashing in from high oil prices. China is gaining ground while our focus shifts away from Asia.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s war with Iran is a failure that must end immediately. He launched his war without either a clear strategy, or honest justifications.
- MB
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:
