We need to rely more on diplomacy and stop starting wars all over the world.

22 6

Too few have so much while too many are struggling to pay the bills in our country.

23 8

Donald Trump is still under the delusion that the war with Iran is accomplishing our goals.

24 15

We need more diplomacy.

23 9

We need to believe in representative democracy.

32 11

House Republicans have been sycophants to Donald Trump first, last, and always.

62 25

Trump is an autocrat.

33 14

Donald Trump's persecution of E. Jean Carroll is undermining our representative democracy. This is not his Justice Department -- it belongs to the people of the United States of America.

40 22

I hope people get past loyalty to Trump and start looking at the costs of his policies.

429 165

This war has been a disaster from the start.

34 12

What is an actual plan to get us out of this hole that the President of the United States has done such an outstanding job of digging for all of us?

34 21

Donald Trump is an authoritarian destroying our representative democracy just for the glorification of his massive ego, and we're all paying an enormous price for it.

24 16

There are two true costs for the war with Iran.

19 11

We need to work diplomatically with other countries to end the war with Iran.

23 4

We have to be on board to counter the aggressive Republican redistricting.

47 12

The rest of the world sees President Trump as a combination of a dictator and a bully willing to use U.S. power to coerce anyone he sees fit.

613 205

The global economy is in freefall and we are not in a ceasefire. Those are the facts of the war with Iran.

25 6

The war with Iran has been devastating to the global economy.

35 16

This war with Iran is not in the best interest of the American people.

32 15

Trump is unfit for office.

57 22

If we are going to be this big, powerful force that throws our weight around the world, the world wants to know, at a minimum, that we're doing it for the right reasons and with a sense of values to protect people, not to destroy entire civilizations.

36 10

Trump is running this country like an authoritarian dictatorship, not like a constitutional republic.

51 17

President Trump will do everything he can to consolidate more power.

34 24

During my recent town hall, I spoke about one of the biggest issues we're facing right now as a nation.

16 6

I'll have the chance to speak with Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday, and I have a lot of questions about how he plans to end this war with Iran.

30 10

We need to take the temperature down and get back to the place where we work out problems with discussion and compromise.

9 1

We need to show how we can govern effectively.

26 10

Despite what the President says, the costs of this war with Iran outweighs the benefits.

38 17

The costs of Trump's war with Iran keep going up.

22 12

You can blow up a lot of things and do a lot of damage to Iran without achieving any meaningfully strategic objective. We've instead paid enormous costs for this war.

37 14

The war in Iran will not give us the result that we want.

24 9

President Trump is targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran, which not only is a war crime, but also undermines our credibility and leverage in the world.

43 27

We have a president who doesn't even know what the truth is and is leading us into a devastating and costly war.

43 23

A lesson learned from Viktor Orban’s defeat in Hungary.

44 19

President Trump is renegotiating a nuclear agreement that he initially tore up.

29 13

Let's not forget the impacts of this war with Iran.

19 11

I would be a much happier person if Donald Trump was not the president tomorrow, but we have to think strategically about stopping him.

26 8

The President's decision-making is unhinged, irrational, and proves that he is unfit for office.

78 43

There have been tremendous costs to Trump's war of choice with Iran, and the rest of the world is not happy that he has no plans to end it.

26 11

The threats and the things that Donald Trump has said disqualify him as Commander in Chief of the military.

369 94

I do not trust Donald Trump to be in charge of the might of the United States military.

69 26

Donald Trump is unfit to lead this country.

68 23

The American people are paying the price for Trump's stupidity.

29 10

We need to stand up and protect our democracy for the sake of our nation and our policies.

49 16

Boots on the ground will only increase the cost of the war and the casualty count for the United States.

22 11

Each one of Secretary Hegseth and President Trump's stupid tweets and memes is gutting our nation's credibility.

960 246

The objectives achieved in the war with Iran do not even begin to address the costs.

24 10

The war with Iran has had huge costs for a relatively small gain.

60 18

The military campaign has led to enormous costs in the war with Iran.

25 14

We are worse off than when we started the war with Iran. It must end now.

36 13

Meaningful progress in Iran would jeopardize their ability to survive or threaten the United States. That hasn't happened yet.

20 5

I think we ought to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran because the costs of the war have been tremendous.

63 21

We had a lot of problems with Iran prior to the war, yet we're no closer to solving them than before this started.

19 8

Let's break down President Trump's goals with Iran.

20 11

Trump only has one move. What’s next?

28 12

Building more homes shouldn’t be so complicated. I've introduced the PHAZE Act to improve zoning and permitting restrictions in the housing space.

12 7

ICE already has $190 billion. I do not intend to give them another cent after they violated the rights of the American people.

378 153

From the very beginning, Democrats had a proposal to pay TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA, yet Republicans refused to bring it to a vote.

25 13

Republicans chose not to fund TSA.

23 7

Let’s work together to make government work better.

21 7

Demand accountability. Govern better. Deliver for people. Show the American people we have a strong alternative to the narcissistic insanity of the Trump Regime. Read Danny Westneat’s column today in the Seattle Times for more on this topic.

40 13

The chaos caused by Donald Trump and the Republican Congress continues to spread.

846 311

Democrats have had a solution to end the nightmare at our airports for over a month. We must fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA.

14 5

I don't think we need to spend $200 billion on defense in order to meet the needs of our country, and I think it undercuts the ability to fund other things that are also important like Medicaid, education, and SNAP benefits.

15 4

I did not support starting the war with Iran in the first place and support ending the war right now.

63 23

We are Americans who want what's best for this country. What's important is that we pay TSA agents who are working to protect Americans.

20 4

After 50 years of Wall Street taking more and more wealth from the working class, now they’re coming for the last vestiges of wealth: the value of your home.

21 10

I'm in the fund everything but ICE camp. We need to pay TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and the rest of the Department of Homeland Security.

32 8

Institutional investors are disrupting the market at the expense of working people. That's why I introduced the Saving Homes from Acquisition by Private Equity (SHAPE) Act.

26 10

I hope we can take a step back from this constant escalation into more violence and look for more peaceful ways to deal with those people in the world that we disagree with.

4 1

Trump needs to stop this war and come up with a better plan.

19 8

Republicans are refusing to do anything meaningful to protect the rights of the American people -- multiple people have been killed by ICE, and many more have been locked up and detained without probable cause for weeks or months.

22 12

President Trump is interested in the power of coercion, and coercion comes with a cost.
