Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Anyone still confused?
MAGA, do you see that he is AGAIN committing acts of war? Without congressional approval, which makes them illegal?
What part of this makes him a "peace president"?
Call your members of Congress. They can stop him NOW.

Billionaires start the wars. Our kids bleed for them. It won’t be Trump’s children dying in a regional firestorm in the Middle East. It will be working‑class & poor families’ kids, sent into a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war.

Call your MOCs. Tell them: block this war, demand a vote.

Trump may think our troops are expendable or "suckers" but a single life lost in pursuit of a war of choice with no strategic purpose is a moral outrage.

Three U.S. service members should be alive this morning and three families shouldn't be receiving a personal visit by military officers informing them their loved one has been killed in a military operation that wasn't authorized by Congress.

Trump Tried To Bury This Great Newsβ€”And He Failed Miserably The Clintons just turned the tables on Trump, Anthropic AI refuses to back down to the Pentagon, and Senators demand a $175 billion tariff refund

The fact that a question like this even has to be asked is itself remarkable:

The White House has communicated so little about the offensive in Iran β€” its rationale, its goals, its scope, etc. β€” that there’s ambiguity about whether the United States is currently at war.

Charlie Kirk dropped out of an Illinois community college after one semester. He later advised Gen Z that today's higher ed probably isn't worth it. A perfect icon for this regime's attitude toward becoming educated

If we had not attacked Iran yesterday, Iran would not have attacked us today.

WATCH β€” @khanna.house.gov : "Trump said the Iraq War was a disaster, Libya was a disaster... the MAGA base did not want another war in the Middle East… yet here we have Lindsey Graham being the face of Republican foreign policy… betrayal the MAGA base…”

Omar llhan survived a war
She survived displacement.

Omar Ilhan doesn’t just represent a district, she represents every day people!

She believes in Dignity for All!
She doesn’t whisper truth to power she says it out loud!

And that terrifies the people who depend on silence!

Trump had better get his ass up to Dover Air Force Base to properly receive and salute the honored remains of the three U.S. service members killed. He has a bad habit of playing golf somewhere during these moments.

HEARTBROKEN: Trump’s unconstitutional decision to bypass Congress has now cost American lives. VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose says Speaker Johnson and Sen. Thune must call Congress back TODAY to vote on war powers before more troops die.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

This is totally unnecessary loss of life. Same for those school children. Unconscionable. Their blood is on Trump’s hands.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Oh god. Is *this* why GOP is OK with murdering school children & U.S. troops? To get Dems to fund DHS?

Note to Dave: Trump has gutted the entire natsec apparatus, the FBI, DNI, and no one will share Intel with us. Funding DHS does NOTHING but feed the mass deportation-for-profit machine.
