Last night the President engaged in what is widely being recognized as an act of war against Iran, one that now risks the lives of millions of innocent people. Now is the moment to prevent war & protect innocent people - the question for many is how, publicly & Congressionally:
Right now is the moment to decide if you are pro-peace or not. The cheerleaders of war, removed from its true cost, will gladly convince you that up is down - just as they did in Iraq in ‘03. But war does not establish peace. War does not create security. War endangers us all.
War advocates start off saying “we all want peace, but...” or “it’s too late...” & frame a pro-peace agenda as naïve to realpolitik. Don’t give into this gaslighting. The same folks selling us Iraq and selling us this latest provocation of violence. We cannot repeat this cycle.
Congress now has a moral and legal obligation to reassert its power to stop this war and protect innocent people from horrific consequences. We have two immediate options: 1. Vote on a War Powers Resolution, which requires Trump to attain Congressional approval. 2.
2. Reintroduce & vote on @RepRoKhanna’s bipartisan NDAA amendment, which blocks $ offensive action to Iran.
This amendment passed the House w/ bipartisan support not long ago, and was later gutted in negotiations. We can bring it back as a standalone bill.
Why is no one asking "how are we going to pay for it?"
Because wars make rich people more money and kill poor people at the same time it’s a wise investment
“Widely recognized as an act of war” by who? You and #Ilhan? @realDonaldTrump responded decisively, appropriately and within his authority as Commander in Chief. Harm came to our Americans and how he reacted is exactly how a leader should respond.
You continue to fan the flames for political gain, to divide our country within, when your job right now should be to stand with the American people.
Last night President Trump authorized a surgical strike in a congressionally authorized combat zone. The strike killed an Iranian General who had been and continued to back the forces that assaulted our Embassy. This strike definitely ended any further acts of war by Iran
