The House just defeated the Iran War Powers Resolution. A tragic mistake, but it is not a war authorization. Under the Constitution, Trump's war remains illegal without authorization from Congress. Congress shouldn't vote to fund a war it has not authorized—not another penny.

Good - and I cannot emphasize this enough - riddance.

BREAKING President Trump has fired Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary and says he is replacing her with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 4(source)

Last week Trump again told Congress and the country that his strikes on Iran last year "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program. Today he says they were two weeks away from a bomb, something his Administration has not supported with intelligence. More lies about the war.

Trump: "If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a nuclear weapon. When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen."

We have heard feedback on these measures from folks overseas, and some of it is disheartening. To those who are stuck, scared, and unsure of what comes next: I hear you. I'm pressing the Administration to improve its support and assistance to Americans in the Middle East.

Thousands of Americans stranded abroad who contact the State Department are being told their embassies cannot help them. The limited guidance we’ve received is that American citizens should monitor official travel advisories and security updates. 1/

Trump Administration Incompetence Strands Americans Abroad

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 4(source)

The Administration must immediately do everything possible to get our people home. And Congress must investigate this shocking failure of leadership that needlessly put American lives in danger. 3/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 4(source)

The State Department told Americans in the Middle East to evacuate, but flights across the region are cancelled, airspaces are closed, and airports and consulates are shuttered or under attack. The Trump Administration's incompetence is stranding Americans abroad. 2/

Today I have heard from constituents who are in Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, the U.A.E., and Qatar or have family there and are frantically trying to get to safety. 1/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 3(source)

Trump’s war in Iran is not smart, not legal, not morally right and not in our national interest. Congress must act and vote for the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 3(source)

The President chose the timing of this war, and he also chose to oppose reforms to restrain DHS after their agents killed American citizens. Anyone who thinks Trump's illegal war with Iran is going to coerce us into giving ICE and CBP a blind eye and a blank check is mistaken.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 3(source)

Trump spent the last year firing counterterrorism experts - including recently firing a dozen FBI agents from "an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran." www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran

The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 2(source)

Trump's war with Iran is plainly illegal and unconstitutional.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 2(source)

A lot of people are confused about the War Powers Act. It *does not* allow the president to make war without authorization from Congress at their personal whim. It allows for use of the military in consultation with Congress when we have a national emergency because America is under attack.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 2(source)

Pete Hegseth just said: "We didn't start this war." The Trump Administration is blatantly lying to the American people about the war.

Beyer Statement On Iran

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 28(source)

The Constitution is clear that only Congress has the power to declare war. I call upon House leaders to immediately bring the House back into session to vote on the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution, which I strongly support.
