Donald Trump is not a dictator. And Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. That’s why in a democracy, Congress exists. Trump’s actions — without pursuing proven Congressionally authorized diplomatic efforts — threaten to mire the United States in ANOTHER endless Middle East Conflict. Congress should have been briefed, voted on, and able to set parameters on this action. To date, Congress has only received conflicting intelligence on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. I don’t trust Donald Trump for one second to prosecute this conflict. He ran for office promising no new wars and is adding wars to the globe. He’s corrupt and incompetent. And he’s surrounded by cult followers who can’t speak truth to power. Now, Congress must prevent this conflict from spiraling out of control. We will always stand with Israel and should protect their skies from Iranian attacks. But my priority is keeping U.S. troops from being deployed into Iran. Our troops in the region are now at risk. I pray for their safety and that wisdom finally finds our commander-in-chief.
