Trump has launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk. I’m calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on my War Powers Resolution that blocks war with Iran without congressional approval.

If I was a business looking for a new site, a public announcement that local law enforcement wouldn’t enforce a law banning assault weapons would make me look elsewhere. Ignoring the law is bad for business. https://t.co/SccO2JOZLZ

Only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center. Trump sacked leadership and installed cronies who put his name on it. He won’t ask 2 R majorities in Congress to rename it because he doesn’t respect the law. The Court stopped his narcissism and now he’s throwing a tantrum. Pathetic. https://t.co/A2XbkGtGKA

They tackle Alex Padilla, they tear gas Andy Kim . . . and they ask Congress to cough up another 70 billion dollars without reforms to stop thug behavior? Yeah . . . right . . .

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Now there is video of Senator @AndyKimNJ being pepper-sprayed by DHS outside Delaney Hall detention facility on Monday. You can hear onlookers say, “they tear-gassed Andy Kim.”

The GOP is now owned by Trump and his chaotic cabal of self-dealing wackos. They’re too focused on corruption to stand up for Americans or lower your costs. This November gives America a wonderful chance to show we can do better. Talarico v Paxton clarifies the stakes.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Trump has fired federal employees by the thousands and now wants to gag them as well. Clearly worried about whistleblowers! https://t.co/ql2GgWKxa0

First deliverable from Trump/Xi summit?

[Kellie Meyer @KellieMeyerNews]

Today Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said the U.S. is pausing arms sales to Taiwan because of the war with Iran.

“Right now we're doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury,” Cao told Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Sec. Hegseth has said "we have plenty" when asked about munitions concerns.

Last week, President Trump said the $14 billion package of US arms to Taiwan that awaits his approval is a "very good negotiating chip" with China.

[Tim Kaine @timkaine]

This is progress. Not as fast as I would like it to be, and we have more work to do. But Congress is starting to listen to the will of the American people who want President Trump's reckless war with Iran to end.

[Tim Kaine @timkaine]

Trump is setting up a $1.7 billion slush fund to hand out YOUR taxpayer dollars to his cronies—including January 6th insurrectionists and rioters who attacked police officers. This is the most corrupt administration in American history.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING:

It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

[Tim Kaine @timkaine]

Trump tells Iran “Clock is ticking” or else there “won’t be anything left of them.” Time for Congress to step in and block further war until we get a real plan. Trump is wrecking the economy with this war and still won’t even share the legal opinion authorizing it with Congress!

See how this works? Courts immediately clear the way for new maps crafted in backrooms to hurt minority voters but block public referendum in VA to stop disenfranchisement. If our votes don’t matter, why are some working so hard to take ‘em away? https://t.co/JQIlvSeY4V

[Tim Kaine @timkaine]

Unlike GOP-led states that redrew their congressional maps in backroom deals, Virginia let the people decide. But the Virginia Supreme Court has blocked the people’s choice. So we have to campaign and win on their maps. We can do it!

Will Trump FINALLY stop punishing everyday Americans?

An illegal and unnecessary war punishes Americans. https://t.co/1CMM7fBquR

[Tim Kaine @timkaine]

Anne and I are so thankful that the President and all other guests at the WHCD last night are safe and for the law enforcement officers who responded and continue to investigate the attack. Violence like this is far too common and deeply stains the moral fabric of our country.

A historic step forward for Virginia—the first in the South to deliver Paid Family and Medical Leave! No one should have to choose between a paycheck and caring for a new child or a loved one. Let’s build on this progress nationwide.

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

🚨NEWS: Virginia now has Paid Family and Medical Leave!

Working Virginians will no longer be forced to give up their paycheck to welcome a child or care for a loved one facing a serious illness.

A historic step forward for the people who power Virginia’s economy.

Regarding the Secretary of Wardrobe’s restoration of Freedom. Freedom to infect your colleagues? Yes! Freedom to grow a beard? No! Thank you for your attention to this nonsense.
