Trump: Tonight I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater

Trump dismantled diplomacy, gutted the national security apparatus & pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, decisions that helped destabilize the region. Now, it’s all bravado & this attack on Iran is likely to lead to a protracted conflict. This is provocation through chaos. This isn’t a “win”.

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.

It's a huge mistake to open up space for Trump like this, as if there's an "explanation" that makes this okay. There can be no suggestion of propriety, Dems need to be maximally confrontational. This isn't something the American people want. This is something that will fracture Trump's coalition.

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

UPDATE: The attack marks a major escalation in the burgeoning war between Iran and Israel and came despite years of promises by President Trump to keep the U.S. from entering another Middle East conflict.

From stand with Israel to die for Israel, this is what MAGA voted for. Trump has opened an unnecessary and illegal war with Iran, not for the American people but for his foreign sponsors and handlers.

Israeli troll farms are out in force attempting to justify Trump’s illegal actions in Iran. This is a foreign entity in control of the US armed forces. Unsurprisingly not the only one.

I urge people from New Jersey and around the country to let your members of Congress know how you feel about the Republicans' effort to cut health care for 16 million Americans, a move that will close hospitals and impact all of us, not just those on Medicaid.

I'm disgusted. This Afghan ally served alongside our troops, was here legally, showed up for his hearing, followed every rule— And he was targeted by ICE anyway. Our nation promised to protect him. But there is simply no one Donald Trump won't betray. www.cbsnews.com/news/afghan-...

Trump has overplayed his hand and he's doubling down by escalating his vicious deportation and militarization agenda across the country. Fight back, Dems! It works! Trump loses on this! (And it's also the right thing to do, you know, morally, if that happens to factor into your politics at all).

Democrats cannot complain about Trump’s authoritarianism while ignoring their own constitutional responsibility regarding taking the country to war. Democrats must support Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution. The U.S. must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.
