REPORT: Rep. Thomas Massie just introduced a War Powers Resolution to block U.S. military involvement in the Israel-Iran war without a congressional vote. He framed it as a defense of constitutional authority at a time when tensions in the Middle East are rising and war talk in Washington is...

I have respect for Tucker, Jack P, Bannon & Alex. But I’m standing with President Trump & his decision making. Countless times he’s made unpopular choices, remarks, decisions. Ultimately, Trump came out on top proving the naysayers wrong.

After all these years Congress wants to decide when we go to war.... I wonder...why now?

Massie’s resolution plays into dangerous isolationism that ignores Iran’s nuclear ambitions and Israel’s defensive posture. The Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2025 already ensures congressional oversight for nuclear strikes, but blocking all military coordination with allies surrenders deterrence to Tehran. Iran-backed proxies have attacked U.S. forces 163 times since 2024—inaction isn’t neutrality, it’s appeasement. While Congress must check reckless interventions, kneecapping defensive measures against a regime actively enriching uranium to 90% invites catastrophe. Audit the $55M Joint Autonomy Office bloat, not strategic coordination that prevents wider wars. Weakness provokes conflict; strength deters it.

It won't be needed. This "War" between the US and others will be prevented. We, the United States were never going to War. We know who the war mongers are, that's who is being placed on the pedestal now for all to see.

The public should be the only people allowed to vote on matters of war. We can’t trust the blackmailed leaders to do the right thing.

THOMAS MASSIE on Trump trying to whip his vote on the 2020 restatement that war powers resides with Congress "His argument... [was] that he could bluff Iran into doing what he wanted" "[But that would've] given [Trump] the power to declare war without Congress's involvement" "he didn't convince me. I did vote for the resolution that restated the Constitution... says you got to come to Congress if you want to have a war with Iran" "his first mistake may have been making Marco Rubio Secretary of State" "his second mistake would be letting Lindsey Graham on that airplane so many times, whispering in his ear" "finally, [maybe his] biggest mistake is letting Israel control too much of his policy. Perhaps it was taking $200 million from Miriam Adelson" This clip of Massie (Thomas Massie) is taken from an interview with James Patrick (James Patrick) posted to YouTube on May 21, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "In January of 2020, I had a conversation with President Trump about war with Iran. Now, to put this in context, they killed Soleimani, not on Iranian soil, but in Iraq. And he was an Iranian general. And then, we had a drone flying over there, and they shot it down. "Now, whether it was over Iran or over the water, I don't know. Maybe we'll never know. But at that point, the president threatened to take action against Iran for that, and he was being encouraged to do so by members of his cabinet. "So we had a vote here in Congress in January of 2020, and the President heard that I was going to vote for no war. Basically, the vote was a restatement of the Constitution and that war powers resided in Congress. It was to say that President Trump cannot go to war with Iran without an act of Congress. "There were only three Republicans who voted for that. But the president heard that I was going to vote for it. So he called me up to whip me on this vote, and he said, I'm more, anti-war than you are. And I said, well, you— In fact, you are. You've not started a war. You're the first president that hasn't started a war. "Now, remember, this was his fourth year in office, 2020. You're the first president that hasn't started a war that I could vote for since I was 18. And he said, I guess you're right. Thank you for saying that. "His argument to me was that if we didn't constrict his ability to rattle the sabers and threaten war, that he could bluff Iran into doing what he wanted and therefore avoid war. And they said, well, that would work just fine unless they call your bluff. And then now we've given you the power to declare war without Congress's involvement, and you're obligated to war if your intention was to bluff. Now you're obligated to war. "And, that day, he didn't convince me. I did vote for the resolution that restated the Constitution that says you got to come to Congress if you want to have a war with Iran. Now, fortunately, that war did not happen. But here we are in his second term, and I think he's— "You know, his first mistake may have been making Marco Rubio Secretary of State. And then his second mistake would be letting Lindsey Graham on that airplane so many times, whispering in his ear. And then, you know, finally, it may be the biggest mistake is letting Israel control too much of his policy. Perhaps it was taking $200 million from Miriam Adelson. "That was a mistake that, I think, led largely to him being predisposed to listening to Israel's interests over America's interests with regard to war with Iran."

Thomas Massie just went nuclear on Trump’s war in Iran. “Have we learned nothing from the wars … we sparked in the Middle East that racked up $8 trillion of debt in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan?” “The Secretary of State said that Israel forced … us into this war.” “And for what?” “The Constitution is clear.” “Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 … provides Congress initiatory powers of war.” “The 1973 War Powers Resolution states plainly that the President may only introduce US armed forces into hostilities pursuant to three conditions.” “One, declaration of war.” “Two, specific statutory authorization.” “Or three, a national emergency created by an attack.” “None of those conditions exist today.” “American families in my district wanna know how this is gonna help them pay for groceries.” “How does this make them any safer in their schools or in their neighborhoods?” “How does this help them pay for housing?” “A sustained war with Iran will not stabilize the region.” “It’s already ignited the region.” “It will radicalize new generations of terrorists.” “And it will send more swarms of refugees into Europe and the United States.” “We’ve already expended billions of dollars and, more solemnly, six American families must now lay to rest their sons and daughters.” “To the men and women who are engaged in combat, I sincerely thank you and I pray for your safety.” “It is for you that I wrote this resolution.” “It is for you that all of us are here on this floor working so hard to force this vote so that you will have a clear mission .. so that you will know when you achieve it, you can come home.” Thomas Massie Thomas Massie for Congress
