This morning, the House of Representatives passed my War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Four Republicans put our country above party to join us on this vote. Now it’s time for the rest of them to grow a spine and stand up for the American people.

U.S. CONSTITUTION FAILS TO STOP WAR ON IRAN 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Senate Votes to BLOCK Trump on Iran War Powers The U.S. Senate passed a resolution 50 to 47 requiring congressional approval before any military action is taken against Iran, with a handful of Republicans breaking ranks to hand Trump a rare bipartisan rebuke. The vote invokes the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which limits the president's ability to commit U.S. forces to armed conflict without congressional authorization. Congress has the declaration, but not the enforcement. It still needs to pass in the House and Trump can VETO it. This is where out CHECKS and BALANCES system FAILS.

A war powers resolution will not be enough. Yes. We need to assert congressional authority and stop this illegal war in Iran. But, Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. Removal is the top priority. No more war criminal in the White House.

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.

As the Senate failed to advance a war powers measure for the seventh time on Wednesday that would limit President Trump’s ability to use military force against Iran, Sen. Lindsey Graham called the War Powers Resolution “patently unconstitutional.” “The whole concept of a war powers act is dangerous, absurd, and will lead to just chaos,” Graham (R-SC) said. "You can't have Congress running wars," he added. "If you want to stop war, stop the funding.”

The renewal of fighting in Iran demonstrates the problem with Trump’s lack of strategy, the vagueness of the deal to make a deal, and the belligerence of an Iranian regime that feels it has the upper hand. This week, I’ll introduce a new War Powers Resolution to force the Senate to vote on Trump’s war and the price spikes it is causing.

Trump has continued to double down on the Iran war. MORE airstrikes, MORE taxpayer dollars, and NO attention to American troops, innocent civilians, or to your pockets. This morning, the House must pass my War Powers Resolution and we must end this war immediately.
