A group of us held a forum tonight with @votevets.org to talk about who will bear the cost of Trump's disastrous war with Iran. It won't be the Mar-a-Lago Epstein class. It will be poor and middle-class families who can't afford gas and groceries and whose kids die in vain.

Today's explanation for the Iran War (they shift by the minute) is that Israel was going to attack and so we had to as well. We were "forced" into war by Netanyahu. That's the definition of weakness - being suckered into a war of choice that no American wants.
The billionaires’ kids will pay no price. But American kids have already died for a war of vanity and choice. A war that will result in hardline leadership remaining in Iran and no meaningful impact on their nuclear program. A likely moral and strategic disaster.
This week I introduced the Let Kids Play Act with @deluzio.house.gov to get private equity out of youth sports. It's simple - kids sports should be about kids and what's best for them, not jacking up costs to make money for investors.
Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.
The most sacred clause in the Constitution may be the war making clause. Our founding fathers are turning in their grave watching this Republican Congress allow one man lead us into a disastrous, incompetently run war.
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.
My new book, Crisis of the Common Good, comes out next week, May 26th. It's a story about America's crisis of connection and meaning, and how it led to Trump. Click this link to join us at events along the tour, starting in Connecticut, New York, and DC. crisisofthecommongood.com
Trump's illegal Iran War is destined to end in failure. Already, hardline leadership is emerging that will be more hostile to America than the leaders we killed. And there is no way to eliminate their nuclear program with a bombing campaign. This whole war is pointless.
Get ready. As the Iran War spirals out of control, Trump is going to get more desperate. The new attacks on ABC for airing criticism of Trump is a sign of what’s the come. We cannot shrug it off as “Trump being Trump”. He’s trying to build a censorship state - plain and simple.

I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas

The Epstein investigation is proof we have a two-tier justice system: one for the wealthy & well-connected and one for survivors. Oversight Democrats took our investigation to Palm Beach where many of the horrific crimes—and failures of justice—took place. We will not stop pursuing accountability.
