It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧡what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

It’s like not a single person surrounding Trump studied one thing about Afghanistan. When a bombing campaign intentionally makes life this miserable for civilians, all it does it make hardline leadership more attractive and become bulletin board material for extremist groups.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

The Trump Administration is considering asking Congress for new emergency spending for the Iran War.

Hell no. This is our chance to draw a line in the sand and use our power to stop this war before it kills more Americans and sends the Middle East into more chaos.

Exactly. None of this is hard. No one here should be hungry or homeless or without medical care. Anyone who wants an education should get one.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.

1/7 My Message to Republican Lawmakers

You built this.
Not the voters.
Not the media.
YOU.
You saw the instability. You saw the narcissism. You saw the appetite for chaos. And...instead of containing it, you harnessed it. You fed it. You rode it.

The Epstein class's kids won't die in this war. Poor families' kids will.

Billionaires won't suffer. Middle class families will pay more for everything.

And for what? For a different hardline cleric to run Iran than the one who was about to die soon anyway?

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.
