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.”

Republicans should be calling us back to DC right now. We should be voting to stop him.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson need to call Congress back and support efforts to rein him in.

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.

Not to sit silent. Not to stand down. But to check the abuses of an unrestrained executive. We cannot abdicate that duty. The Senate Majority Leader must choose country over party, summon the Senate back into session, and confront this crisis before it spirals further.

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.
- PM
“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.

Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Out of desperation, he's now making an existential threat to Iran. Trump CANNOT & WILL NOT wash his hands of the cruelty and chaos he has sowed for MILLIONS of people across the country and around the world.

We can't afford Trump's war tax at the pump. Plain and simple.

This is an unauthorized war of choice. And now our President is threatening that a "whole civilization will die tonight" – millions of innocent civilians. Americans don’t want this. They just want to pay their bills, afford their gas, and put food on the table.

President Trump is threatening to commit war crimes against an entire civilization. Is there nothing he will do or say that will make Republicans join us in reining him in? We must come back to Washington and vote to block the use of military force in Iran.
