Like the votes before the Iraq war, this could be one of the most consequential votes in the history of Congress. Are we going to stop another endless dumb foreign war? Or will the neoconservatives mislead us once again?
The lawmakers who crafted the WPR stated hostilities "encompasses a state of confrontation in which no shots have been fired but where there is a clear and present danger of armed conflict." That’s exactly what Trump's military buildup is and why I am forcing a vote next week.
My bipartisan resolution with Rep. Thomas Massie, H.Con.Res. 38, will terminate the use of U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran without congressional authorization.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was enacted over Nixon’s veto so that Congress could play an active role to weigh the merits of war and reflect the American people's will *before* the president unilaterally launched an attack.
I support diplomatic talks & a deal by Trump to handle Iran's nuclear program and protect our allies. But if Trump is preparing to bomb Iran soon & others call for troops on the ground, Congress must get on the record so Americans know where their representatives stand.
A war with Iran would be catastrophic. Iran is a complex society of 90 million people with significant air defenses and military capabilities. We also have 30-40k U.S. troops in the region who could be at risk of retaliation. Congress must do its job and stop this march to war.
Trump is positioning two aircraft carriers, a dozen warships & hundreds of fighter jets to prepare for a possible war with Iran. I first got into politics to end the Iraq War. I won’t let Trump launch a disastrous war without Congress voting to stop it.
Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress. Rep. Thomas Massie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.
The truth, as @barackobama.bsky.social shared with @briantylercohen.bsky.social is that most Americans are decent, not simply self-centered, and believe power must be subordinated to a sense of justice and morality.
Taking an alleged comment by one person and attributing it to everyone who shares that person's faith is the definition of bigotry. And prior to hurling more insults, you may wish to re-read Genesis 1:27 that all humans are made in the "image of God."
Tom Pritzker is part of the Epstein class & is stepping down as Chairman of Hyatt. Will he also step down as Chairman of the Pritzker organization which manages various Pritzker family assets?
And you wonder why the Epstein Class is going after me and Rep. Thomas Massie? Look at how many people we are exposing. Is anyone keeping a list of the powerful in the US & around the world already being investigated & called out? www.cbsnews.com/news/tom-bar...
Tech must not bend the knee to a surveillance state. Google, Meta & other companies should refuse to comply with administrative subpoenas that target anonymous speech critical or ICE as a blatant violation of the First Amendment.
