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.

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.
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.
A story that is not being told enough about the Iran War is that the U.S. and Israel have totally different, incompatible goals. The U.S. says it’s targeting weapons systems. Israel wants regime change and a failed state. This conflict leads to total incoherence.
Noah Wyle stopped by my office this week and we talked about how for profit medicine is putting money ahead of patients and workers - and how we need to do more to support health care workers when they see corners being cut and want to speak up.
It’s a week later but I haven’t forgotten that President Trump is trying to arrest leaders in Congress who oppose him politically. Never before in the history of the country has this happened. And we shouldn’t normalize it.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis and his efforts went unrecognised for 50 years. Then, in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he had rescued, who were now adults. Original post

At both the state and local level, it's time to phase out honors for Cesar Chavez and replace them with honors for Dolores Huerta, a true hero of the labor and human rights movements. Kudos to State Reps. Angie Cuellar and Edgar Gonzalez, Jr., for starting this effort.
