Before Donald Trump launched this unnecessary and costly war, the Strait of Hormuz was open, gas was $1 less and 13 more American servicemembers were alive. Only someone as deeply incompetent, delusional and unfit as Trump would see this as “winning.” While our nation watches to see if this ceasefire deal holds in the wake of his deranged rhetoric, including a threat to destroy an entire civilization, this chaos cannot be excused. Congress must return to Washington immediately, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein this dictatorial President in and be the coequal branch of government our founders intended us to be.

Feels like as the Iran War spirals out of control and DHS remains shut down, Republican leaders in Congress should call us back into session. But they won’t.

Sen. Cory Booker@SenBooker·
Trump’s escalation in Iran is reckless. It is unconstitutional. It is dangerous with consequences both vast and globally destabilizing. Right now, the world is holding its breath - watching, waiting, with many fearing what comes next. Moments like this are why the Senate exists. Not to sit silent. Not to stand down. But to check the abuses of an unrestrained executive. We cannot abdicate that duty. The Senate Majority Leader must choose country over party, summon the Senate back into session, and confront this crisis before it spirals further.

Newly married, assigned to Fort Polk and planning to start their life together. 

How does Trump congratulate this American who volunteered to serve his country?
 
By detaining his wife.

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

Look, no one likes to take their shoes off at the airport. But after getting rid of the “Shoes Off” policy, Noem’s own IG warned her that she created a “new security vulnerability.” This is how we end up with another Shoe Bomber. Safety must come first.

As someone shot down behind enemy lines, my heart goes out to the crew members and their loved ones who are waiting for answers. It's a relief one servicemember has been found and rescued, and I'm grateful for those risking their lives to look for the one who remains missing.
The New York Times@nytimes

Breaking News: One American was rescued from a U.S. fighter jet crash in Iran, officials said. The fate of a second crew member was unknown. This was the first time during the war in Iran that a U.S. warplane had been brought down over Iran. nyti.ms/4sg4bIi

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway. Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war. The most anti-Veteran President in history.

Tonight was a nationally-televised, Truth Social post with zero concepts of a plan. Trump can say we’re winning a war no one asked for—and that gas prices aren’t skyrocketing. But we all know the truth. The Senate must do our constitutional duty and rein this President in.

El Paso. Fort Hancock. DCA. Has this Administration learned nothing? Certainly doesn't feel like the time nor the place for this, but if Hegseth insists, Congress and the American people deserve to know what FAA and DoD are doing to ensure the public's safety.

Democrats refused to cut another blank check for ICE and Border Patrol because we don’t think the government should be executing Americans in the streets. That’s not “enforcing immigration laws,” it’s trampling on our Constitutional rights.
Senate Republicans@SenateGOP

Democrats defunded DHS because they don’t want to enforce immigration laws any longer. Senator Duckworth and her colleagues punished thousands of Americans because they prefer to keep violent illegal aliens in our country. That was a choice made by Democrats.

He says he wants to bring meritocracy back to our military. He says he has our warfighters' backs. But here he is, the most unqualified SecDef in history, denying troops a promotion that their fellow warfighters decided they've earned. This threatens the strength of our military at every level. Hegseth is a disgrace to our heroes.

Let’s be clear: Republicans have voted against Democrats’ proposals to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and the Coast Guard 14 times. They control the Senate, the House and the White House—and have had every opportunity to end the pain of this shutdown. Instead, they chose to punish thousands of hardworking Americans—and the travelling public—for weeks for the sins of Trump’s lawless agents. That is unconscionable.   Moving forward, Democrats will not stop pushing until we deliver the ICE and Border Patrol reforms that the American people deserve.
