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 incompetence of the Iran War rollout is just stunning. Rubio says "Israel dragged us into this war! We had no choice!" Trump says "I dragged Israel into this war! Regime change! Iranian people, rise up!" Just bonkers.
Donald Trump won’t talk tonight about how ICE is tear-gassing elementary schools, murdering American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats position is clear: no more funding for ICE until they stop their lawlessness and abuse.
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.
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.
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.
No President in control of his senses would publicly promise to eradicate an entire civilization. That's why I agree with Republicans who have put the 25th Amendment on the table. Trump seems to be taking us on a path to mass war crimes. That's a path we cannot accept.
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.
A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.
Increasingly our culture and economy have become void of virtue. Profit obsession robs work of dignity. Consumerism replaces citizenship. Corruption becomes normal. That’s why I wrote Crisis of the Common Good - to explain that the solution is bigger than just beating Trump.
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.

🤡 Geopolitics feels like a bad comedy. Iran threatens Ukraine for drones, forgetting they’ve attacked us with Iranian drones from day one! Meanwhile, Trump lifts sanctions on Russia—the one supplying intel to strike U.S. bases. 🤦♀️ The only peace plan? Defeat & demilitarize Russia

Hegseth sat before Congress and couldn't acknowledge what this war is costing Americans. When the Secretary of Defense refuses to answer for the price of war, the American people can't make informed judgments. Transparency is the foundation of democracy.
