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.

My statement on Trump’s actions in Iran.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

BREAKING: Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says it will not halt its nuclear program following the U.S. attack, calling the strikes a “blatant violation of international law.”

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the President, the power to declare war. War should not be entered into on a whim by a single person. We must do everything we can to protect American lives and our military in every base, in every place. Trump’s acts are unconstitutional. (1/2)

Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon.

‼️‼️

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

If you listen to the right at the moment, they are rallying around the talking point that Trump has insisted Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon "for a decade" IRAN DID NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON

Not only has Trump bypassed Congressional approval for striking Iran, he’s also violated international law. #ImpeachTrump

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & then, well, here it is, all in one post:

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.

It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard today.

Trump has no constitutional authority to take us to war with Iran without authorization from Congress, and Congress has not authorized it.

Why would our rapist king reverse the ban on cancer causing asbestos? Here’s why: “Russia is the world's largest producer of asbestos, with an annual production of around 630,000 million metric tons in 2023.”

Everything he does is illegal- yet here we are again! W. T. A. F

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.

Every accusation is a confession. #ImpeachTrump

The Felon bypassed Congress and bombed Iran. If you didn’t doubt his presidency before, you certainly should now. Every elected Republican will go down hard for this. He’s broken all our laws and Constitutional process. This isn’t a President. This is a madman! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Will Congress Impeach this corrupt and lawless ‘president’ now?!

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

Multiple Texas farms shut down overnight after they lost almost all of their workforce ! 😡😡

Great point

This should worry everyone.

The amount of rationalizing you have to do to justify this to yourself, your family, your fellow citizens must be astounding. I have no sympathy for anyone involved in this. You moved past too many off-ramps for this kind of behavior.

"The town Select Board is reviewing claims the ICE processing center is being used as detention center against their zoning code by keeping detainees in inadequate conditions for longer than a few hours, as originally intended..." www.nbcboston.com/news/local/b...

A Harvard law professor of 50 years in Constitutional Law is telling you that, yes, it IS that bad. It's time for people to stop crying "alarmist" when the severity of the situation in the US is pointed out.

Reminder: Zohran is one of the few NYC mayoral candidates who is outright opposed to a mask ban
