No one is shedding a tear for the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and his murderous regime.
Yet, our founders made clear that a President cannot declare war without Congress.
The American people deserve answers.

Today, the United States launched military strikes against Iran with no plan for what happens next.
My full statement:
SCOTUS confirms the President's disastrous on-again, off-again tariffs are illegal and unconstitutional.
Americans deserve their money back.
After being established in 1842, it grew into a thriving, free African American community, including the African Methodist Episcopal Church founded in 1856.
Six Penny Creek is also home the oldest known African American cemetery in Berks.

It was one of many small, rural Black communities that played a role in the Underground Railroad.
The site was by charcoal lands owned by Hopewell Furnace and tended by colliers, often Black men, who understood the nearby woods.
Six Penny residents helped those escaping slavery reach freedom.
Our final Black History Markers spotlight: Six Penny Creek!
Located near Douglassville, Six Penny Creek was home to an African American settlement where men, women, and children lived in the 1800s— though most of their stories were never recorded.
What a joy to spend time with Marc Fogel!
For more than three years, my colleagues in PA have fought to bring him home from his wrongful detainment in Russia.
Grateful to those in Administration who fought with us.
Nothing captures last night better than The Emperor's New Clothes.
My Republican colleagues have an audience of one at the cost of all Americans.
Yesterday marked four years since Putin’s brutal, illegal invasion of Ukraine.
The courage of Ukrainians — and of the Ukrainian-American community here at home — stays with me always.
We must end this war.
Trump refused to acknowledge the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein tonight.
He does not care about justice for the hundreds of women and girls — as young as 14 — who endured years of abuse.
He cares about the rich & powerful.
I call on the DOJ to release all the Epstein files.
I have no love lost for Maduro — but President Trump’s decision to not alert Congress to military action in Venezuela was blatantly unconstitutional.
He claims that it was to protect Americans from drug-related deaths. We know it’s to enrich his cronies with oil.
Americans are not served by war with Iran — a decision that lies with Congress.
They want their leaders to lower costs, make healthcare affordable, and ensure they can retire with dignity.
The hostages are all finally home.
Now is the time for peace — for Israelis and Palestinians.
President Trump — I urge you to stay committed to long-term stability in Israel and Gaza.
Violent crime in PA dropped 42%.
Yet the President tried to cut $100 million for local gun violence and crime prevention programs — interventions we know work.
Mr. Trump is deathly unserious about keeping our communities safe.
We must condemn political violence in all its forms.
We must commit to civic engagement and education — to decency and dignity.
For the good of our nation, and our communities, and most especially our children.
35 people have died in ICE custody, and 15 have been shot. Two Americans are dead. Children have been taken from their homes.
The face masks must come off, body cameras must go on, and Kristi Noem must resign.
Not a single cent more to ICE until we see accountability.
More than 10,000 people in PA-04 will lose their health coverage because of Republican cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill.
The largest, most disgusting Medicaid cut in history, all to funnel money to America’s billionaire class.
The President isn't making healthcare more affordable — he's making Americans sicker.
Because he allowed the ACA tax credits to expire, 85K Pennsylvanians have been forced to drop their coverage.
Mr. Trump tried to use unconstitutional tariffs to reach into the pockets of the people.
The Treasury Department must immediately refund the $134 billion it stole from Americans.
Mr. Trump's Big Beautiful Bill added $3.5 trillion to the deficit to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Extending the ACA tax credits would add $350 billion to the deficit.
We should be helping working families afford healthcare —not lining the pockets of the rich.
