So Trump intentionally didn’t tell top congressional Democrats, especially those on Intel, before the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. But he made sure to let congressional Republicans know beforehand.

Donald Trump, the last leader under which any nation would want to be at war, has made himself a wartime president with a push of a button. If there is one thing that every American with an IQ above a rose bush should appreciate is that it is much easier to start a war than end one.

A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans: If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?

As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺

✋ Former US government War Power lawyer here. The War Powers Resolution does not/not provide any additional authority to use military force. The Article II arguments for using force against Iran are entirely bogus. As are any claims that either the 2001 or 2002 AUMFs authorize this attack.

I served before, during, and after 9/11. My uncle is 20+ years older than me and both of our DD214s have the same thing on them. We were at war so long in the ME that there were 3 generations of folks serving in the sandbox at the same time. Obama gave us a treaty. Biden gave us peace for the 1st

Since his first term, Trump has promised action on everything from tax legislation to health care within a fortnight — only for his announcements to materialize months later or not at all.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Whatever one’s view on Iran, Trump just got us into a war without any involvement by Congress. This is consistent with his general lawlessness — secret police, deportations without due process, illegally impounding appropriated funds, etc. He absolutely should be removed from office.

Save the dates: 7/4 & 7/17, our next days of action! 🚨 On July 4th, 50501 chapters will be hosting a community day of action. Some will also be protesting on the 4th. On July 17th, 50501 chapters will be organizing a mass mobilization in coalition with other orgs. Some may also host community aid.

A coward who never served just dragged us into another war in the Middle East without congressional approval. He broke the law. He betrayed the troops. He must be impeached and removed from power—immediately. WHO AGREES?! 🤚

I miss the days when you knew you were at war because a solemn voice announced it to the family gathered around the wireless, rather than waking up to find that a petulant manbaby has started WW3 as a distraction from his domestic incompetence and posted about it on his grifting social media app.

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

Tonight, many Americans rightfully are fearful about the possibility of escalation. Trump took this decision without consulting Congress or fully explaining to the American people. I worked in the Situation Room and warzones, and here are the questions we need answered. THREAD

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.

Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons, but unilateral military action, which risks embroiling the U.S. in another war in the region, should not be undertaken without Congressional authorization.

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:
