Netanyahu’s illegal, unilateral attack on Iran is just his latest violation of international law. The United States must not be a part of this war. My full statement:

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles. The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.

Donald Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President. By turning the military against American citizens, he is threatening the very core of our democracy. I’m asking the court to immediately block these unlawful actions.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Let me thank my Senate colleague @vanhollen.senate.gov for his trip to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully imprisoned. As the Supreme Court indicated, there was no basis for his warrantless arrest. The Trump admin must obey the law. He must be returned home.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is literally a matter of life and death. People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable. EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

No. Now is not the time to play dead. The Democrats have already played dead for too many years. 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry. Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
