The Trump administration has offered 11 conflicting reasons, confused war plans, and vague timelines for the war with Iran.

The American people deserve clear answers, not shifting explanations.

President Trump should come before Congress today and explain his war of choice.

Trump ran on the promise of no more endless wars and lower gas prices.

Turns out he lied by choosing to start a war with Iran, causing the most severe energy crisis in 50 years.

This is deeply disturbing and blatantly racist. Anyone who spews this horrible racism is unfit to serve in Congress.

Wait for it… Reporter stunned into silence as I call out Lindsey Graham for pushing Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran in 2019.

Seven years later, they got their war with Iran - without coming to Congress or explaining it to the American people.

BREAKING: Fox News reports that a gallon of gas now costs Americans $3.47. A week ago, it was $2.99.

This is the result of a wannabe-king more focused on foreign wars than lowering costs for the American people.

Oil prices soar as Iran names new supreme leader and digs in Oil prices have spiked near $120 a barrel as the Iran war disrupts oil production and shipping in the Middle East.

The cost of oil has skyrocketed to $120 a barrel after Trump's war of choice with Iran.

I want to hear from you. Have you felt it in your pocketbook?

Catch me on @cnn.com discussing the upcoming Iran War Powers vote and why Congress needs to reassert its authority and hold President Trump accountable for his illegal war with Iran.

Trump frustrated with Kristi Noem and considering replacements, sources say The president has made no decision, but he has told lawmakers that he is unhappy with the homeland security secretary's testimony this week before House and Senate committees, sources said.

Trump is reportedly considering replacements for Noem. This is major news, as Trump rarely fires Cabinet members.

When even Trump is fed up with corruption and incompetence, you know it's bad.

Let’s make sure she sees this and that Trump kicks her out.

Janine and I join the Sacramento community in mourning the loss of Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Robert’s family and all of our troops in harm’s way.

Listen as my friend and colleague @raskin.house.gov exposes ICE Sec. Noem’s corruption:

$220M for media consultants
$172M for two luxury jets
$70M to lease a third

Noem is incompetent, corrupt, and should be impeached today!

The Trump administration is ignoring hard evidence, even from Fox News, that the Administration did not adequately prepare for a war with Iran.

I asked a simple question: Do our servicemembers have what they need to stay safe?

Still no real answer.

The Trump Administration has yet to explain to Congress or the public why we're going to war with Iran.

Trump is blatantly violating the Constitution, and lives are being lost.

Proud to introduce the bipartisan FERRIES Act with my colleagues in the Congressional Ferry Caucus like @repemilyrandall.bsky.social

Ferries are essential to our communities and this bill finally expands much needed federal grants, modernizes fleets, all while supporting American shipyard jobs.

Pentagon offers no evidence to support claim it attacked Iran in defense The Trump administration’s effort to construct a case for war after shots started flying has few historical parallels.

The Trump Administration still hasn’t explained to Congress or the American people the exact threat Iran posed that justifies this conflict.

Why not share it?

The truth is that Trump has no plan and is continuing to risk the lives of our servicemembers.

Trump promised no new wars.

Now, four Americans have died, and he’s threatening the lives of more troops as he wages an illegal regime-change war.

Rep. John Garamendi didn’t mince words, basically accusing Trump of putting personal profit ahead of national security in a deal involving the UAE. As families struggle at home, critics say the contrast couldn’t be more stark: billion-dollar gains for him, high costs for everyone else.🀬

ICE has to be reformed. We can’t have a Gestapo-like police force in America.

Police forces across America operate without masks, yet Trump believes his agents are above accountability.

That’s what we’re fighting for.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s β€œmisplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

New bombshell whistleblower report details the FBI’s response to the Brown University mass shooting was delayed due to Patel's personal jet use.

These are unserious people with very serious jobs. Director Patel, please resign today.

Tonight, I’m leaving my guest seat empty for Harjit Kaur, a 73-year-old grandmother detained and deported to India after living in this country for over 30 years.

May her empty seat be a stark symbol for every person detained or killed at the hands of Donald Trump’s ICE.

Tonight at the State of the Union, Trump should explain how he plans to return the $1,960 he’s illegally taxed every Solano and Contra Costa family over the past year through his unlawful tariffs.

Families deserve their money back.

BREAKING: 59% of voters disapprove of Trump's economy ahead of the State of the Union.

That couldn't be further from the truth, and the American people know it.

@repgaramendi.bsky.social laid it out plain: β€œThe sheikh wanted chips; Trump wanted money. Trump got money, and the sheikh got the chips.”

Don’t forget he’ll brag about how great the State of the Union is after pocketing a billion dollars by selling out America’s security to the UAE.

Local reps challenge Trump ahead of address As President Trump prepares to deliver his State of the Union address Tuesday night, both of Solano County’s representatives in Congress are forcefully speaking out β€” each making a pointed statemen…

Tonight, I'm dedicating my State of the Union seat to 73-year-old grandmother Harjit Kaur, deported to India in the dead of night.

This empty chair honors her and all those detained, deported, and killed by Donald Trump’s secret police enforcing his cruel deportation agenda.
