        Thank you for your statement. As a U.S. Army veteran I'd like to know what our long-term strategy in Syria is. I also agree with you that whatever strategy the U.S. adopts in Syria, it should be developed in close consultation between the Administration and the U.S. Congress.

        A good statement. You may want to #HoldUpVoteDown to get the Administration's attention on this and other abuse of their powers. Cc. @SenatorCollins , @chelliepingree

        I know we've already said this, but it's worth repeating: Trump doesn't care about the people of Syria. If he did, he wouldn't put them in greater risk of harm by escalating the war and bloodshed. If he did, he wouldn't try to ban them from our shores.

        Agree. And accepting refugees should be part of that strategy.

        Thank you, Senator. This constituent would have appreciated a more emphatic statement regarding adhering to constitutional law and consulting with Congress.

        Congress did not approve it, there was no attack on America, it was patently illegal. The president telegraphed our actions endangering American lives and allowing arms and personnel to be moved. That is inept and ineffective. I urge you to condemn it.

        No way, there must be a better way that dropping bombs that affect civilians whether or not they are the target. Senator King listen to Maine voices. Many of us in Portland do Not support what the administration did and we want more refugees here, now, because this is on us.

        Senator, that is a weak statement. Humanitarian bombing is a sick joke, and Trump is the fifth president in a row to order this kind of unconstitutional and reprehensible state-sponsored terrorism.

        @JohnKerry got the chemical weapons out 100%. #Russia assisted us in that! This #FalseFlag is the 3x the ISIS rebels that our government (@SenJohnMcCain ) funded in Syria! It is so obvious! As soon as Trump signaled our departure, the false flag hit!

        A firmer response to our ‘president’ and his actions is what we need.
