Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s unnecessary and illegal war with Iran. But I’m not giving up—this is too important. Stay tuned.

Trump says the quiet part out loud . . . “forever war.” We can’t let him repeat the same mistakes the U.S. made in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is major: Today, the Senate is going to vote on my War Powers Resolution to block Trump’s illegal war against Iran. If you don’t want another forever war in the Middle East, I urge you to make your voice heard ahead of this monumental vote.

Warning American citizens to evacuate over a dozen countries three days into this war, when commercial flights are already shut down, demonstrates the Trump Administration’s lack of planning or coordination.
Americans across the Middle East are stranded—and U.S. embassies say they can’t help citizens evacuate. The Trump Administration is not adequately protecting the lives of American citizens.

Last week, I spoke on the floor about how, after seeing the heartbreak and sacrifice of VA military families during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I vowed that I’d do all I could to stop an unnecessary war if I ever had the chance. That time is now. youtube.com/shorts/1OVKj...
Disregarding these deaths as just “the way it is” is a slap in the face to our men and women in uniform and anyone with a loved one in the military. He should be ashamed.
The American people don’t want more war. Six servicemembers have already died amidst Trump’s illegal attack on Iran. Trump’s response? Announcing he doesn’t care what Americans want. He would needlessly risk more lives with boots on the ground anyway.

Chag Purim Sameach! I hope all those celebrating Purim in Virginia and around the world have a fun and safe celebration.
Have we learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? More war isn’t the answer. If it were, the past 70 years would have produced a better outcome than what we see today.

My statement regarding President Trump’s illegal war with Iran:
El Corte Suprema confirmó lo que yo he estado diciendo durante meses—los aranceles de Trump son ilegales. Esta decisión es buena para las familias y las empresas que han estado luchando con costos más altos, pero ¿qué sigue? Mira este video:

Nothing the president said last night changed what he’s done: Made life harder and more expensive for working-class Americans.

The President has been illegally raising the price of your groceries for over a year, and now he’s doubling down on his disastrous trade war. This only sends the message that he is not focused or even trying to lower your costs.
Had a great morning yesterday celebrating Black History Month with @bobbyscott.house.gov and @mcclellan.house.gov at our Commonwealth Coffee! Thank you to everyone who came out, especially the Hampton University Choir for the beautiful music!
The Supreme Court confirmed what I’ve been saying for months—Trump’s tariffs are illegal. That’s good news for American families and businesses struggling with soaring costs, but what’s next? Tune in to learn:

Thanks, Mark! Glad to have a more “senior” friend serving as the best senior senator.
Last year, right after I turned 67, “6 7” became a massive cultural thing. Can’t wait to see what happens to 68 this year!
Americans are weighed down by rising costs and disappearing jobs. Trump is failing to address these problems. Instead, he is toying with the idea of attacking Iran, needlessly jeopardizing servicemembers’ safety. I am forcing a vote on my War Powers Resolution to stop him.
Some questions have a simple yes or no answer. But Trump’s nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Casey Means, wouldn’t give me a straight answer about whether or not the flu vaccine reduces deaths and hospitalizations—something HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. has denied. youtube.com/shorts/tbDE6...
