Just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's unfettered ability to wage war in Iran. It failed by one vote. One. Vote. Last time, the margin was worse. We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.

My War Powers Resolution is a vote of conscience. Congress must stand up for our fellow Americans, our Constitution, and our Article I authorities. Vote YES to end this war.

BREAKING: The Senate just voted 52–47 to advance the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war on Venezuela. This wasn’t the final vote, just a procedural one, but every Democrat (even Fetterman!) and five Republicans voted YES. Now we keep the pressure on for next week. This vote sends a message: Over 70% of people in the U.S. say NO WAR ON VENEZUELA. Keep calling. Keep pushing. Hands Off Venezuela.

Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives. I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.

Donald Trump chose war with Iran. No strategy. No vote in Congress. No support from the American people. This wasn’t his choice to make. Congress must vote “yes” on Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution.

I just voted yes on the war powers resolution to rein in this President. Trump promised no new wars in the Middle East, and now we're in one with no plan and no end in sight.

I voted yes on the Iran War Powers Resolution. It’s time to restore accountability and let the American people decide when we go to war.

Trump’s attacks on Iran are both illegal and unconstitutional. Congress alone has the constitutional authority to declare war. We must vote urgently on the War Powers resolution.

Iran War Powers vote was about to pass, so House GOP cancelled the vote "Are we not voting on [the Iran War Powers Resolution] because the American people are sick and tired of this illegal war ... you guys don't have the guts — or the balls — to vote on this!" -Rep. Jim McGovern

The House and the Senate will hold separate votes on a War Powers Resolution on Thursday, sponsored by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie and Senators Tim Kaine and Rand Paul respectively. The War Powers Resolution seeks to halt President Donald Trump's war of aggression on Iran through the constitutional authority vested in Congress to authorize a war. So we sent our Capitol Hill correspondent Julian Andreone to the Capitol to ask members of Congress how they plan to vote on this resolution and why. Ryan Grim | Julian Andreone

The U.S. is supporting Israel’s invasion, bombing, and mass displacement of the Lebanese people. Americans don't want their tax dollars funding another illegal and devastating war. I urge Congress to vote yes on Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's War Powers Resolution to put an end to it.

I spoke for the War Powers Resolution directing the President to remove armed forces from hostilities in Venezuela unless Congress authorizes it. When war-making power devolves to one person, liberty dissolves. Congress needs to vote before the President attempts regime change.

Donald Trump is threatening the world—kidnapping Venezuela’s president and claiming the U.S. will “run” another country. This is reckless, illegal, and dangerous. Call Congress now: 202-224-3121 Tell Congress: Support the War Powers Resolution on Venezuela: Ask your senator to VOTE YES on the War Powers Resolution

Today, the House PASSED my bipartisan War Powers Resolution to end the war in Iran by a vote of 214-208. This is a big victory for the vast majority of Americans who want President Trump to end this illegal war and focus on their lives right here at home.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 If the Iran war is over, why is Congress fighting to keep Trump's war powers? Anthony Aguilar points to a quiet signal that undercuts all the talk of peace. A resolution to limit Trump's war authority just lost in the Senate committee by one vote. A war that's truly over, he argues, would see lawmakers rushing almost unanimously to take those powers back. Enough of them did the opposite. So while the headlines say wind-down, the voting suggests someone wants the war machine left running.
