The administration's justification for starting a war that has gotten American service members killed is changing every day.
The American people deserve a straight, honest answer.

My office has heard from Americans struggling to get home as the administration tells them to fend for themselves. In the lead up to this attack, they should have been ready for this.
I'll do all I can to ensure my constituents' safe return—the State Department should do the same.
There was no report of an imminent threat, so why has this President gotten Americans killed and put countless more in harm's way?
This administration needs to answer to Congress for these brazen attacks.
The decision to go to war is a monumental and grave one – one that should be made with the consent of Congress and a clear plan.
It shouldn’t be taken lightly, but, unfortunately, we've seen Trump do just that.
That's why I'll vote YES on @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution.

No war with Iran.
There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective.
I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.
This week, we acknowledged the unsung heroes.
The ones who work every single day to make people safer in our communities.
Instead of working hard to bring your costs down, this billionaire cabinet is telling you to be happy with the scraps.
The disrespect for everyday Americans is outrageous.
This administration has done nothing to bring down costs. Now, during a massive affordability crisis, they want to make it EASIER for folks to be evicted without warning.
Unbelievable.
This is a heartbreaking, disturbing pattern.
After ICE wrongfully arrested a Delaware mom, they tried to release her outside an airport 1,000 miles from home with no documentation, no money, and no way to get back.
This inhumane treatment is costing lives. It has to stop.

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he'll never cut Medicaid (he already passed the largest cut in history last year) to holding the program hostage for an entire state.
Trump is using the most vulnerable people in our communities as political pawns. It's disgusting.

Trump just thinks that affordability is a buzzword. Americans know better – it can literally be a matter of life and death.
As the lowest lying state in the nation, Delaware's already feeling the impacts of the climate crisis.
While Trump puts polluters over people, I'm proud to be in this fight with @lcv.org. Together, we'll do all we can to pass a livable planet on to future generations.
Today, the Trump administration's Surgeon General nominee tried to tell us that this administration would never ask her to do anything unethical.
Let's not forget that RFK Jr did exactly that less than six months ago.
How can we be sure it won't happen again?
This President hasn't made us safer— he's only created chaos and fear.
However, in these moments of chaos are stories of everyday Americans' extraordinary strength.
Tonight, my guest for the State of the Union is one of those Americans, Maria Mesias-Tatnall.
Hear her story:
Canceled meetings. Incomplete, confusing, uninformed guidance. Conspiracy theories galore.
Members of this administration tried to tell me Secretary Kennedy would improve Americans' confidence in vaccines, but given their record, it's no surprise that confidence continues to plummet.
Not only did Trump’s tariff chaos hurt families, businesses, and stunt our economy, but they were ALSO illegal.
When even his hand-picked Supreme Court can’t defend his economic policy, you know we’re in a bad place.
Republicans in Washington know their policies are wildly unpopular.
This isn't about election security, it's about voter suppression and clinging to power.
For me, protecting our planet is personal.
I fight to make sure my granddaughter’s generation has access to the beautiful natural resources the First State has to offer.
This is who Reverend Jackson was, a leader whose moral clarity reminded us that everyone deserves equality, dignity, and respect.
His historic run for president laid the foundation for future generations of Black leaders.
May he rest in eternal peace and power.
