As many as 140 servicemembers injured. 7 killed. Thousands of Americans stranded in the region with a target on their backs and no escape.
All for a war that a draft dodger cannot even articulate a coherent and consistent justification for.
How. Is. This. America. First.

Trump burned $5.6 billion on munitions alone in the first two days of his unjustified, unauthorized war.
But they don't have money for your health care.
As if food prices weren’t hitting your pocketbook hard enough, now gas prices are another sucker punch.
This is Trump’s doing. Higher costs and more war is not what he promised.
Extending my heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, the seventh American servicemember killed in the week since Trump launched another war of choice.
Our troops will always answer the call. Their leaders owe it to them to ensure their sacrifices are justified.
We shall not see the likes of the great Reverend Jesse Jackson again. He leaves us with a legacy our state will never forget.
Rest in my power, my friend.
Your costs are skyrocketing, jobs are cratering and Trump is starting the wars he promised he'd stop.
It's like he is trying to break all his promises.
Thousands of Americans are stranded in the Middle East receiving conflicting guidance while their President admits there was no evacuation plan.
That is unacceptable. Secretary Rubio must ramp up crisis efforts to get Americans to safety immediately.
Should've been fired a long, long time ago.
Next, the Trump Administration needs to work with Congress to reform DHS and prevent more Americans from being executed by their own government. The bare minimum.
It took the full might of the Veteran community to get them to back down on this.
Otherwise, they were set to cut disability benefits... merely a week before throwing a new generation of troops into war.
And they really think we believe they care about those who serve?
BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump's illegal war of choice against Iran.
They chose fealty to Trump over our troops' lives.
…that's trying to make Trump look bad.
It's his own reckless actions.
Our troops volunteered to serve. They will always execute their mission to the best of their ability, no matter what is asked of them. And we should all be proud of their professionalism and sacrifices.
But when these heroes are killed because of a needless war of choice, it is not the media…
Hegseth: "This is what the fake news misses. We've taken control of Iran's airspace & waterways without boots on the ground. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it's front page news. I get it- the press only wants to make POTUS look bad, but try for once to report the reality"
I want a democratic Iran. And I won’t shed a tear for the Ayatollah’s death.
But my first concern will always be the national security of the United States.
Trump is putting our troops and all Americans in danger without any real reason he can explain.
"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.
What a disgrace.
If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it’s now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops’ lives at risk without a legitimate threat to our homeland or citizens.
In the meantime, the Senate must immediately vote on Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution to block this illegal military campaign.
He owes it to the American people he promised he would always put first to immediately come before Congress and attempt to justify how this illegal war will serve their interests.
Donald Trump cannot stop breaking his promises.
By illegally striking Iran, Trump made a choice—one he did not have to make—that puts American lives and national security at risk while threatening to draw us into yet another expensive, tax-payer funded forever war without Congressional approval.
It’s this kind of failure to communicate between DoD and FAA that led to the tragic loss of life above DCA.
This situation is alarming and demands a thorough, independent investigation.
I’ll be calling on the IGs of DoD, DOT and DHS to launch a joint investigation immediately.
Trump promised to get us out of wars. Now, he’s threatening another expensive forever war in the Middle East.
No more broken promises.
