I’m grateful that the American servicemembers who took part in the strikes are safe. We will have difficult days ahead and lives will be on the line. President Trump must work with Congress and answer questions on what comes next, for the security of the American people. END

No action like this occurs without having significant ripple effects - even in the unlikely event the operation is limited in the way Trump hopes. These actions will affect U.S. standing in the world for years to come. 17/18
The fact that we do not have answers to these questions ahead of these strikes shows why we needed Congressional authorization for military action as stated in the Constitution, as well as the complexity and danger of this moment. 16/18
Why did the administration deem this was necessary, and why was it necessary before making the case to Congress? 15/18
DO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A SAY? What authorities is the administration claiming to use for this operation, given that there was no Congressional authorization and this was not a matter of self defense? 14/18
We need to know: What is Trump's plan for what comes next? What is the broader strategy to achieve a lasting peace in the region? What are the implications of this action for other U.S. interests, including our ability to deter China in the Indo-Pacific or the North Koreans from threatening Seoul?
That’s why inspections and accountability facilitated through diplomacy was and still remains the best option for fully halting Iran’s nuclear development. Beyond the Iran threat, the world is watching and will be looking to learn lessons in this moment. 12/18
WHAT COMES NEXT? I worked for years before my time in Congress to stop Iranian violence and terror. I want to stop their path towards a nuclear weapon. But even if these strikes destroyed these sites, Iran may still have enriched material and can restart its program or race toward a bomb. 11/18
Do we have partners on board for what will come next? And how will this action affect global views of the United States? 10/18
WHAT WILL THE WORLD THINK? Beyond Israel, did the Trump administration consult with our allies? What kind of coordination on this action was there with our European allies who were just negotiating with Iran in Geneva on Friday? 9/18
What is the plan for ensuring that diplomatic efforts get back on track? 8/18
HOW WILL WE MANAGE ESCALATION? What is Trump's plan if/when Iran retaliates? How will he prevent this from becoming a wider war? How do Trump’s objectives align with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s, and will we remain focused on U.S. objectives? 7/18
How and when may we have a meaningful sense of that? What's the status of Iran's fissile material, which could still be used to make a bomb if Iran chose to do so? 6/18
HOW DO WE KNOW THIS WAS A SUCCESS? Were the strikes successful in achieving their objectives in taking out the three targeted nuclear facilities? 5/18
WILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BE PROTECTED? Will the Department of Homeland Security take additional measures to ensure that our communities are safe from Iranian terror and cyber attacks that could threaten the homeland? What should Americans traveling abroad do to stay safe? 4/18
How much of that will come through traditional military attacks against our personnel and facilities in the region, and how much will be through proxy or covert actions, perhaps over a longer timeframe? 3/18
WILL US FORCES BE PROTECTED? There are around 40k American servicemembers in the Middle East right now. What is the administration doing to ensure the protection of our personnel and facilities? What will be the scope of Iranian retaliation? 2/18
Tonight, many Americans rightfully are fearful about the possibility of escalation. Trump took this decision without consulting Congress or fully explaining to the American people. I worked in the Situation Room and warzones, and here are the questions we need answered. THREAD
It is so important to talk directly with our neighbors and the public servants helping them out. I look forward to sharing more about my visit. (2/2)
Today, I toured the Norwescap food bank in Phillipsburg, NJ where I met with food pantry clients and SNAP recipients.
Speaking with them, I heard one thing time and time again: how the Republicans’ proposed cuts to SNAP would negatively impact their families and communities. (1/2)
