The American people are under no illusion about the gravity of this moment. They know this is not normal, not justified, and not making us safer.
They expect their elected representatives to decisively act, not retreat into silence out of blind allegiance to the President.

Now, the President is emboldened and untethered from consequences.
He is escalating threats that, if carried out, would constitute egregious war crimes committed on behalf of the United States government and the American people.
This moment demands urgent congressional intervention.
10/
And Republicans in the House and Senate have pulled out all the stops on multiple occasions to defeat War Powers Resolutions that would have stopped this war.
9/
The message from Secretary Hegseth and President Trump has been a clear and consistent endorsement of impunity for criminal acts under the color of our flag.
8/
When my colleagues who served in uniform sought to remind their fellow servicemembers of their duty to oppose illegal orders, the administration's response was to attempt to prosecute and sanction them.
7/
Congress failed to stop unlawful boat strikes in the Caribbean that have killed dozens, many of them innocent fishermen, and in doing so allowed a dangerous precedent to take hold.
6/
We have missed multiple opportunities to stop us from careening down this awful path. Senate Republicans confirmed a longtime advocate for war crimes and war criminals to be Secretary of Defense, despite his manifest unfitness for the job.
5/
The Supreme Court compounded this failure by granting sweeping immunity to the President, further insulating the office from accountability. Today, that unchecked power rests in the hands of an immoral and unwell man willing to wield it recklessly, and the world is holding its breath.
4/
For decades, across both parties and all 3 branches of government, we collectively failed to rein in the expansion of presidential power. Authority that the Constitution explicitly entrusted to Congress has been ceded to the executive, eroding one of the most fundamental checks in our system.
3/
Speaker Johnson must bring the House of Representatives back into session immediately to reclaim its constitutional authority, serve as a desperately needed check on this increasingly erratic president, and vote on a War Powers Resolution to put an end to this madness at once.
2/
My Republican colleagues in Congress continue to abdicate their duty and turn a blind eye as the President makes unhinged threats to obliterate an entire civilization in clear violation of basic human decency and American ideals. This is a moral failure and cowardice of the highest order.

My Republican colleagues are turning a blind eye as the President escalates unhinged threats to obliterate an entire civilization. A moral failure and cowardice of the highest order.
Speaker Johnson must bring the House back to stop this blatantly illegal, immoral threat.
After Trump illegally purged inspectors general across the federal government to hide waste, fraud, and illegal activity, the American people rely on remaining IGs to hold agencies like DOJ accountable for rampant corruption and misconduct. It's their job.

The president doesn't know how to end his catastrophic war, so he's resorting to increasingly deranged threats to "obliterate" a country of 90 million people.
My Republican colleagues need to come back to DC and vote for a War Powers Resolution to stop this madness.
Americans are paying 35% MORE on average to fill up their gas tank because President Trump decided to wage an illegal war against Iran with no plan or strategy.
Wishing you all a blessed and joyful Easter Sunday!
Like everyone else, I had to check that this was real. Sadly it is. The president is having an Easter Sunday freak out and threatening civilian infrastructure.
With the help of federal funding, American scientists were able to make discoveries that made our world healthier, safer, and better prepared for the future.
But Trump and Vought's grant freezes and mass layoffs have stalled that progress and set us back.
On Good Friday, we look inward to reflect on the ways we can help the world around us. Wishing all of you observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace and reflection.
Praying for the safety of our servicemembers and their return.
