I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops".
My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops
Trump has been compared to Hitler by world leaders, been called dangerous and unfit by 50 GOP national security experts, has been said to have a dangerous mental illness by psychiatrists, and is now launching an illegal war. Why is he still in office?

Was pleased to join the IRIS irisct.org Run with Refugees and All Immigrants. Great to see hundreds of community members joining the effort, too
Itβs -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
Face it.
ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using βGestapoβ tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!
Repost if you agree #BlueCrew
Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBPβs funding nor rein in the agenciesβ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trumpβs campaign of terror.
Grow a spine and vote no.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his βown morality.β
When we say "No Kings," this is why.
One month ago, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando HernΓ‘ndez from a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking and weapons charges. The Trump administration doesnβt care about drugs or weapons, despite what it currently says about Venezuelaβs Maduro.
Trump expands his mass kidnapping operations to other part of hemisphere
So Fran gets it with a final Week 1 score of 1-0-0?!
A devastating new milestone: key indicators confirm that conditions have officially reached famine levels in the #GazaStrip.
Our colleagues are on the ground doing everything possible to deliver for children in #Gaza, despite the immense challenges. Follow us for humanitarian updates. #promoted
Still not getting that democracy is gone, and we have a dictator running the country? Watch this!

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
ICE is hiring! US immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking for highly motivated, morally indifferent individuals to join our team. Open positions include: Senior Goon Racism Enforcement Office Unmarked Van Driver (Part-Time) Experience with children a plus usajobs.gov
From this month's edition of The Onion.
Migrants sent to El Salvadorβs CECOT prison faced beatings, shaved heads, no drinkable water, no hygiene, and daily abuse - including sexual assault in βblind spots" not covered by cameras.
No charges. No due process. No trials. No justice.
Tell these stories! US media won't!
Donald Trump and Republicans just passed a bill that will:
- Kick 17 million people off their health insurance.
- Shut down 338 rural hospitals.
- Close 579 nursing homes.
This is obscene. People will still get sick β they just wonβt have anywhere to go.
This is insane. Imagine being this doctor from Houston

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go?
Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next?
Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.
22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.
Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But heβs a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.
Republicans want you to forget theyβre ripping health care away from over 16 million people while Trump wages a new endless war against Iran.
Thatβs Republican leadership for you.
Trump is skipping over all potential checks on use of force. Intl law - no claim of self defense. US law - no AUMF, does not meet WPR criteria, Article 2 so stretched itβs tearing. Partisan congressional notification only. Intel and defense principals objected. Vast majority of Americans opposed. 1/
