Neither Donald Trump nor Pete Hegseth can articulate a clear justification for this war, clear goals, or a clear timeline.
Congress should not write a blank check for an unnecessary war that remains illegal without authorization.

The Iran war is threatening to upend Americans' household budgets.
U.S. oil prices hit a high of $119.50 on Monday, and the national average gasoline price topped $3.50 a gallon as of Tuesday, up 21% from a month ago, according to AAA.

Andy Ogles seems unable to comprehend the basic values the United States was founded on – like religious freedom under the First Amendment.
Muslim Americans are our neighbors, colleagues, and friends. They belong here, but this vile Islamophobia doesn’t belong in Congress.

LATEST: Oil prices continue soaring, putting them on track to record their biggest jump since early 2020 as the escalating Iran war threatens global energy supplies.

Gas prices are climbing, and fast.
Trump’s reckless war in Iran is putting a HUGE strain on Americans’ pocketbooks.

No state is safe from Trump driving up prices at the pump.
This is the cost of Trump’s war of choice and Republicans in Congress enabling him.
Thanks to over 32,000 concerned citizens, approval for Trump’s taxpayer-funded ballroom has been delayed. A great reminder that using your voice is always important and has an impact!

SpongeBob memes and video game edits hyping their illegal war in Iran, tells us just how seriously the White House takes decisions of war and peace.
This isn’t Call of Duty. It isn’t a game or a meme.
Real people are dying, including innocent children and American soldiers.

I'm hosting a resource fair for federal workers, contractors, and economically impacted individuals on March 21 at Wakefield High School in Arlington. Come meet with local partners who can connect you with housing assistance, food banks, resources for small businesses, and more.
Science is worth fighting for.
I’m proud to join @standupforscience.bsky.social to stand up for vaccines that prevent disease, for research that cures cancer, for data that helps us confront climate change, and for discoveries we cannot even imagine yet.
The stakes could not be higher.

Long overdue. The plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 was installed albeit with no moment to publicly recognize the courage of those who risked their lives to protect our democracy.
Honoring them shouldn't be controversial.
Years after Congress ordered a plaque to honor the police defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, it was finally installed — at 4 am this morning.
@oliviacgeorge.bsky.social was there. Read her eloquent, somber scoop.

When American workers have to dip into their 401(k)s just to cover emergencies, that’s a ringing alarm bell about the state of our economy. Americans simply can’t afford Donald Trump’s harmful policies.
Trump is abusing the powers of the Executive to turn a simple contract dispute into a complicated legal battle with major implications for American businesses.
Here's a breakdown of the truth of what's going on, and what Congress should do to stop it:
One of the primary reasons the State Department exists is to serve Americans abroad, and they're desperately failing at that right now. I’ve heard from many families whose loved ones are stranded abroad.
The Trump Administration must get our people home.

We cannot simply brush this aside because she’s been dismissed, those actions must be fully and independently investigated.
Serious questions also remain about Noem’s unconstitutional guidance, refusal to comply with lawful court orders, refusal to disperse disaster aid, and her obstruction of independent investigations into the killings of U.S. citizens in Minnesota.
Trump’s decision to fire Noem is long overdue. But this doesn’t address the deeper lawlessness and abuses that continue to plague DHS.
The American public deserves clear commitments that DHS will follow the rule of law, and that there will be real transparency and accountability for misconduct.
