SEN. KAINE: “America was lied into a war in 2002 against Iraq with a Republican administration giving us false information about Iraq's weapons program. I have grave concern that we're going down the same path.”

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

Really feel like the NYC mayor’s race shows that there is no such thing as a progressive establishment, and there is, in fact, an anti-progressive establishment that runs all the way from Murdoch to Clinton

I REALLY need dems to grow up & go way further. The problem isnt that Trump didn't follow the process. This is an illegal & offensive war against a country that didn't attack us & wasn't building a nuke. Netanyahu & Trump are bloodthirsty warmongers & Trump needs to be IMPEACHED, REMOVED & LOCKED UP

If you vote for Cuomo just come out and say you don’t believe women, you hate them, and don’t care about sexual harassment.

It is not an attack to tell very powerful white feminists to their face that supporting Andrew Cuomo is abusive, wrong and harmful to women. This is called FAFO. For those of you who don’t yet know it means fucking around and finding out.

Jim Clyburn (D-SC) has no connection to NYC. His endorsement is absolutely not a reason for us to elect a man who is plagued by scandals, harasses women, is responsible for the MTA's "Summer of Hell," does not like this city, and fears it's people. We have much better options. #DontRankCuomo

All these men just saying with their whole chest, we don’t give a goddamn about serial sexual harassment, which, whether they realize it or not, says to women we do not see you as full persons.

If you voted for or endorsed Trump you hate women, children, and marginalized communities but that didn't stop them in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

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.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

Chris Murphy is supposed to be one of the better Dem. Sens when it comes to issues on foreign policy. Yet his long threaded statement tonight - doesn’t explicitly call the strikes vs Iran as illegal - doesn’t bring it up as an impeachable offense - weakly begs for a vote Impotent word salad.

There are very few questions to which war is the answer, and Iran's nuclear enrichment is not one of them.

Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. Iran didn't strike Israel. It was Israel that struck Iran first. Trump was set to meet Iran for potential negotiations. Netanyahu blew it up. Trump got played by Netanyahu, again, and has now led US into an unnecessary with Iran. America First.

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:

Rachel Maddow: “If Trump wasn’t getting the intelligence that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon from the intelligence community… who is he getting it from? Israel?” The right question. And pretty obviously the right answer.

right now bombing Iran is incredibly unpopular. i suspect the admin is betting this will inspire retaliatory terrorist attacks against Americans that will help to manufacture consent for further escalations.

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran — attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk. My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

One thing the Dem establishment never really got over was the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the 2008 nomination because she supported the Iraq War. Denial and anger followed rather than learning from that decision.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
