Thinking of all the military members serving in these operations. They courageously go where duty calls. Their sacrifices represent the best of us and they deserve leaders of integrity.

Democratic National Committee Veterans & Military Families Council Democratic National Committee Veterans & Military Families Council Statement on U.S. Military Action Against Iran February 28th, 2026 The leadership of the Democratic National Committee Veterans & Military Families Council issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s military attack on Iran: We, the members of the Veterans & Military Families Council, speak with deep concern and clarity about what military escalation truly means. Among us are those who have deployed to war and those who have waited at home as military spouses and family members. We know firsthand that decisions made in Washington ripple through barracks, living rooms, schools, and VA clinics for decades. This is not abstract to us. Military action carries consequences that extend far beyond the battlefield. It affects readiness, VA capacity, mental health systems, military retention, and the long term stability of families who have already sacrificed more than most Americans will ever know. The Constitution grants Congress the authority to decide when our nation enters sustained hostilities. That safeguard exists to ensure deliberation, accountability, and public trust. If American troops are placed in harm's way, the American people deserve transparency about the mission, the risks, and the strategy for bringing service members home and caring for them upon their return. The Veterans & Military Families Council calls on the administration to immediately brief Congress and the American people with honesty and clarity, and we demand Congress assert its constitutional authority over matters of war. Our service members are not pawns and should never be used for political leverage. They are not expendable. They deserve competent, responsible leadership worthy of the sacrifices they and their families are being asked to make on behalf of We The People. Rachel Vindman, Co-Chair Joe Stutler, Co-Chair

The leadership of the Democratic National Committee Veterans & Military Families Council issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s military attack on Iran:

If I were married to a Member of Congress I would suggest that but currently I am married to a candidate.

Not to put a damper on everyone’s weekend but the president is saying he’s going to ignore the ruling of the Supreme Court and that’s a textbook Constitutional crisis. Is there a plan?

Trump has never said anything as critical about Vladimir Putin or any Russian war criminal as he did today about the majority on the US Supreme Court.

Our children deserve better. Thinking of the victims and survivors of Parkland today

I have to be sweet because my husband is running for senate!!!!

I had to get a PO Box for @alexvindman.bsky.social’s campaign and the post office worker kept saying it was for my son’s campaign. I appreciate your thoughts and understanding during this difficult time.

I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit.

I stepped up when my country needed a soldier and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.

My husband is nothing if not pragmatic. We wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t have data that it’s possible 💙

Hey, Siri, play “Here Comes the Sun” ☀️❤️🤍💙

Minnesota has really been through it…We see you, Minnesota 💙

Haven’t been able to do anything all day. I am so sad.

If you shoot someone in the FACE while they’re driving away you‘re a fucking coward and deserve to be “famous”. Anyone have clear pictures of the fat fuck who shot this woman?

If you shoot someone while they are driving away, you’re a fucking murderer. Hope this helps clear things up for you.

Yesterday he went to choose marble for the ballroom and hours later he invaded Venezuela to steal their oil. The tariffs are affecting everyone.

You know what they say: colonies are but 250 years away from being the colonizers.

The administration who is doing a truly shit job of running our country is now going to run another one. Awesome.

Ummm, 2026, I’m not sure you understand the assignment.

If today’s events remind you of waking up in December 1989 and hearing the news about Panama, please make sure you’ve had a preventative colonoscopy…if you have insurance which many now do not and that’s the real reason for this distraction, friends. It’s not Epstein.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

The irony in all this is Trump wants to rule like Maduro…

And just like that, millions of Americans are now uninsured because Republicans don’t care.

ONWARD! Let’s do this, 2026. The bar isn’t even high; no need to overdo it, just be cool.

Hey, 2025, SUCK IT. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

"Ted Cruz Syndrome" is communicable, it seems.

I mean Erika would disagree, but I’m pretty sure Usha is with us.

can confirm ✅

This is a difficult time of year for many, and that isn’t lost on me. Since 2020, not only do the holidays not hit the same for the 1M+ in this country who lost loved ones to Covid — including myself, and many of you — but there are millions still getting a grasp after years, or even decades,
