@AutismCapital Also that’s not the palm hotel. That’s the Fairmont on the Palm

Higher quality footage of the Iranian missile hitting the Palm Hotel in Dubai. This one managed to slip through the defenses.

@pascalwilpers Did you get out of muscat!? Thinking of going the drive tonight

During the missile attacks on Dubai, this MVP drove us safely through the desert to Muscat, Oman. Our hero.

@SenDuckworth @SenDuckworth please help! I am from Chicago and am in Dubai. I would like assistance getting out of the country

Donald Trump cannot stop breaking his promises to the American people. By illegally striking Iran, Trump made a choice—one he did not have to make—that puts American lives and national security at risk while threatening to draw us into yet another expensive, tax-payer funded forever war without Congressional approval. He owes it to the American people he promised he would always put first to immediately come before Congress and attempt to justify how this illegal war will serve their interests. In the meantime, the Senate must immediately vote on Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution to block this illegal military campaign.

@HeatherK9070 @cwebbonline Same girl. I am stuck in Dubai at the St Regis Palm. No way home.

@cwebbonline A woman from Chicago. Stuck in Dubai. Airport closed. City under attack. No warning. No plan from Washington. This is what an illegal war of choice looks like from the ground. She didn’t vote for this. None of them did. Get her home safe.

Trump’s war affects Americans throughout the world. I feel this woman’s frustration, and she’s handling it a lot calmer than I would. She’s from Chicago and currently stuck in Dubai. I’m worried about our brothers and sisters stuck in the Middle East, and I pray she makes it home safe and sound. 🙏🏽

@SenDuckworth @SenDuckworth thank you for your service and please help. I am from Chicago and stuck in Dubai. Can you please provide recommendations for a safe way to exit the UAE and return to the ID

Another broken promise. Congress must vote on our bipartisan War Powers Resolution and stop Trump.

@BernieSanders @SenSanders any ideas how Americans stick in Dubai can exit!?

This Trump–Netanyahu war is unconstitutional and violates international law. It endangers the lives of U.S. troops and people across the region. We’ve lived through the lies of Vietnam and Iraq. No more endless wars. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately.

@CoryBooker @CoryBooker how can Americans stuck in Dubai exit???

America must be strong and smart. Today’s actions were launched by a president who has rarely proven to be either. Let me be clear: The Iranian regime is one of the most dangerous, destabilizing forces in the Middle East. It has American blood on its hands. It has armed and supported terrorist proxies who have killed tens of thousands. It has brutalized its own people, killing thousands in recent weeks, simply for demanding basic human rights and a future free from oppression. Iran remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, and a nuclear-armed Iran would pose an intolerable threat to the United States, to our allies, and to global security. That outcome must never be allowed. But none of these facts suspend our Constitution or confer upon any president the authority to unilaterally wage war. The Constitution is unambiguous: Congress alone has the power to declare war and to authorize the use of military force. Today, Americans are feeling less safe because President Trump launched “massive and ongoing” military strikes on Iran without Congressional authorization, without meaningful consultation with lawmakers, and without presenting a credible legal justification or coherent strategy. He has taken our nation into a major military confrontation with the stated intent of regime change and in doing so has put our troops, our diplomats, and our regional partners at grave risk, while dragging the United States toward another costly and protracted conflict in the Middle East. The president has presented no strategy for what happens if the Iranian regime collapses. No plan for managing the inevitable power struggle among armed factions. No plan for securing nuclear material. No plan for preventing a humanitarian catastrophe. No plan for protecting tens of thousands of U.S. troops and civilians across a region now on high alert. No plan for coordinating with suddenly imperiled neighboring nations. No plan for what comes after the bombs. And no transparency with Congress or the American people about the human and financial costs of his military actions. In fact, in the weeks before these attacks, even Secretary of State Rubio cautioned that no one can predict what would follow the fall of Iran’s leadership and that the risks to U.S. forces and regional stability would be enormous. These warnings were not heeded. Military action alone cannot solve Iran’s nuclear challenge. We saw this last year when President Trump claimed he had 'completely obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program with a set of strikes - claims that were swiftly proven false. The American people deserve honesty, not bluster; clarity and sober judgment, not reckless adventurism in matters of national security. The Trump administration must immediately brief Congress on the intelligence, objectives, legal basis, and long-term strategy underlying today’s action. Congress must reassert its constitutional role - not simply roll over - because war and peace cannot be left to the impulses of any one president, especially not this one. We should have learned from the last two decades of conflict in the Middle East that wars launched without clear goals and without an end-state in mind rarely end well. They cost lives, destabilize regions, embolden adversaries, and weaken America’s moral standing. I am grateful for the professionalism and bravery of our service members who now find themselves in harm’s way, and I pray for their safety. They are the finest fighting force in human history, willing to shoulder dangers most Americans will never see. They deserve leadership guided by strategy, grounded in law, and worthy of their sacrifice - not reckless decision making that places them in the path of escalating danger.

@ASDylanJohnson @StateDept Got it. So any plans to get Americans out of Dubai by 3/2?

Due to current circumstances, Secretary Rubio will no longer travel to Israel on March 2.

@GavinNewsom @GavinNewsom how can Americans stranded in Dubai get back home?

The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go. But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people. President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.

@CaptMarkKelly Thanks Captain Kelly. I am sheltered in place in Dubai. Any idea how I can get back home?

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

@KamalaHarris @KamalaHarris how can Americans in these affected regions get back home?

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:

@GovPritzker @GovPritzker I am an Illinois resident stuck in Dubai - any ideas on how we can get back home safely?

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective. But none of that matters to Donald Trump — and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

@PeteButtigieg @PeteButtigieg - thank you for your service. Saw you at the Wynn on Wednesday. In Dubai now. Any idea how Americans can exit the country??

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day. This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still greater danger.

@DickDurbin - I live in Chicago and am currently sheltering in place in Dubai. Can you please provide guidance on how we can exit safely? There are missiles overhead.

@SenDuckworth - I live in Chicago and am currently sheltering in place in Dubai. Can you please provide guidance on how we can exit safely? There are missiles overhead.

@GovPritzker - I live in Chicago and am currently sheltering in place in Dubai. Can you please provide guidance on how we can exit safely? There are missiles overhead.

@algore Please run with @VP! #harrisGore2024

As President, Joe Biden has been — and is — an exceptional leader. He is responsible for developing and signing the most significant investment in climate solutions into law. He helped our nation navigate a global pandemic, ushered in an economic recovery that has created good-paying jobs for Americans across the country, and restored America’s standing abroad. I know that he is not done delivering for the American people and will continue to serve this nation with wisdom and dignity in the coming months. In paving the way for a new generation of leadership, President Biden’s decision is a fitting testament to his profoundly consequential career. I applaud his selfless decision.

Anyone else thinking the ideal #USElection2024 ticket is @VP & @algore. #HarrisGore2024

LOL! Donald Trump donated to Kamala Harris in 2011. Even he thinks she’s a great pick for office!

Where are masks worn most in the U.S.? Our map shows that their use is affected by regional, local and even social patterns. nyti.ms/3hfKgoN
