I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops". My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops

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.
I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.
A gallon of gas now costs $5 in Connecticut. Diesel is $6. This is ruining people who live paycheck to paycheck, small businesses, farmers and the trucking industry. And there is only person who has caused prices to be this high: DONALD TRUMP.
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.
I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.
I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.
Orban copied Trump. Trump copied Orban. And in the end, the people of Hungary chose democracy and the rule of law. As will happen here too. But only if we do our work, like they did.
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 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.
Every week, we force a vote on the Senate floor to end the war in Iran. While there are signs Republicans are starting to break, so far we can't get to 50. But we will keep trying. Because the Iran war cost crisis is getting devastating for American families.

Security leaders used to walk into a room and say they were ready. Matt Mosley has spent years on the other end of that claim, arriving after the systems are encrypted and the backups are gone. His assessment is direct. Confidence without practice is not readiness. It is exposure.

What’s happening in Florida under Trump’s ICE is deeply disturbing. People are being held past release dates, shackled on buses for hours, and cycled through jails over and over. That’s why I introduced the NICE Act & a series of oversight actions with @robertgarcia.house.gov to end these abuses.
