On vacation?????????? You’ve only worked like 3 weeks this year!!!!

He is wrong. President Trump did not declare war and has not sent troops into conflict / war with anyone. Thus was a limited strike that lasted a few hours, if that. Congress was notified immediately once the planes were out. This kept our pilots safe from the traitors in govt

He voted to fund the Ukrainian war against Russia. He did not pick up when Iranian Nationals were allowed to cross into United States freely.

Congress expects to be briefed on Tuesday about the intelligence behind the U.S. strikes on Iran, and when asked if he is open to the possibility there is new intelligence justifying the military action, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) says, "I'm always open to new intelligence." Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) adds, “I’m open as well.” Khanna, who has co-sponsored a bipartisan War Powers Resolution with Massie, tells Margaret Brennan that "the procedure should have been that Congress was briefed before we decided to enter war, and that we actually had a vote on it."

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

ICYMI: Rep. Ro Khanna and I appeared on Face The Nation this morning to discuss our War Powers Resolution. Congress has the sole authority to authorize war. Speaker Mike Johnson should bring our Resolution to the floor for a vote immediately.

Last week, I introduced a War Powers Resolution with Rep. Jim McGovern and Thomas Massie. This bipartisan bill would block Trump from starting a reckless and lawless regime change war with Venezuela. It will be on the House floor for a vote next week.

Who decides when the U.S. goes to war? As U.S. strikes on Iran continue and Congress prepares for rare war powers votes this week, questions are resurfacing about presidential authority — and how much power lawmakers actually have to check military action. We break down what the vote could mean and how the War Powers Resolution works in 60 seconds.

“Every time Trump attacks me, we raise about $50,000 online.” Thomas Massie is refusing to back down. He just declared that Trump’s Iran war will end in disaster, like “Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria or Libya.” And he revealed that he had to drag House Republicans “kicking and screaming” to vote on his War Powers Resolution. Why? “My colleagues don’t want to go on the record on this.” “Because we have a very poor track record in the Middle East.” “We had a debate and I asked, what’s the reason why are we going to war?” “At least we got that out of it, and at least we’re gonna get a record on the vote.” Thomas Massie Thomas Massie for Congress Emily Jashinsky

Funding a war in the Middle East is not America first. That’s why Thomas Massie and I are forcing a vote next week on our bipartisan Iran War Powers resolution. Instead of sending billions overseas, we need to invest in jobs, healthcare, and education here.

🎥 “Troublesome if our foreign policy is dictated by Israel” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who sponsored the House War Powers resolution to limit U.S. military action against Iran, told Drop Site the Trump administration effectively acknowledged the U.S. was pulled into the conflict because of Israel. Massie said the push for war is driven by “neocons,” and warned it would be “very troublesome if our foreign policy is dictated by a country of 8 million people in the Middle East.” He also said he does not believe the Epstein files are connected to the war, though the conflict could become a distraction from uncovering the truth about them.

Rep. Thomas Massie tells the story of the moment he realized that Pam Bondi was running a massive cover-up for the clients of Jeffrey Epstein. It all started at a private dinner last year in which Pam Bondi invited Republicans, and Massie was also there. THOMAS MASSIE: When could we expect to see the next tranche of these files? PAM BONDI: All that was left was CSAM, and it was really disgusting, and nobody wanted to see that kind of stuff. Massie said this was the seed for what later became known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to “terminate the use of US forces from hostilities against Iran without congressional authorization,” with a motion to discharge and a vote expected next week. BP’s Saagar Enjeti: “There has never been a buildup or a potential military action like this … without any congressional authorization,” adding that outside of “like five people,” members of Congress “love this … They all support it. They just don’t want to vote for it so that you hold them accountable.” Krystal Ball notes Massie’s prediction that redistricting and primary shakeups could open space for more Republican dissent going forward.

Beyond “a handful of members of Congress, including Ro Khanna, who has teamed up with Thomas Massie to push for a [Iran] war powers resolution vote,” there has been “very little said publicly by Democrats against this,” Ryan Grim said on Breaking Points. Grim describes the “cold logic” inside parts of the Democratic caucus: “There are many Senate Democrats who believe that Iran needs to be dealt with militarily… But they also understand that this would be catastrophic politically for Democrats… And so they would like Trump to carry it out for them… From the perspective of these Democrats, it is a win-win.” He adds that this reasoning “doesn’t really have any holes in it, other than that it’s evil… and could lead to untold lives being lost.” The War Powers Resolution from Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie would force a vote next week on limiting U.S. involvement in hostilities against Iran. A full report is coming soon from Drop Site, including details on a call with a top foreign policy aide. Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball | Griffin Davis | Ro Khanna | Thomas Massie

On Chris Hayes, I called on Chuck Schumer to support Tim Kaine, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Thomas Massie and my resolution opposing a war in Iran. This is a defining moment for our party where too many blundered in supporting the Iraq war. Now we need to be clear — no war in Iran.

The conflict in Iran is about to be the least debated prolonged foreign war in American History. With this attack on Iran, the President ignored the will of the American people and still has not presented a coherent plan for the day after. I am voting for the bipartisan War Powers Resolution this week that mandates explanation and accountability from this Administration, debate and deliberation from Congress, and the consensus of the governed.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to strip President Trump of his war powers today. The resolution was narrowly rejected by the House, 214-213. Massie was confronted about being a traitor and essentially said he’s fine with Iran having nukes because he has TDS. Siding with Democrats in Congress on anything is siding with the enemy. Many of them are the same traitors to America who welcomed an invasion of millions of illegals under Joe Biden. To ever vote with them is to say you hate America. Shame on Massie. He’s a lost cause and needs to be legally replaced in Congress by a real MAGA politician. A lot of current congressional Republicans are in the same boat. (TheCharlesDowns on 𝕏)
