I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

At this point, it is irrefutable that 70% of GOP voters did NOT vote on affordability, gas prices, the economy, staying out of foreign wars or anything else.

They voted on white supremacy. Because they have remained supportive and loyal while everything they claimed to care about has gotten worse

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Trump's illegal Iran War is destined to end in failure. Already, hardline leadership is emerging that will be more hostile to America than the leaders we killed. And there is no way to eliminate their nuclear program with a bombing campaign. This whole war is pointless.

A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.

How did I know the Trump admins wouldn’t get a nuclear deal with Iran no matter how much bluster and bullying they tried?

Multiple reasons. But one was they didn’t include any nuclear physicists or engineers in the talks, in sharp contrast to the intricately detailed Iran nuclear deal that worked.

Why are you the only person saying this.. that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war …

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

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 β€˜will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress β€” pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

NEW: Trump says he will not sign any other bills until Republicans pass the SAVE America Act β€” escalating his push to force the voter suppression measure through the Senate.

He also repeated demands to include a mail voting ban and anti-trans provisions.

The American public is firmly against this conflict. Nobody wants another forever war.

Republicans must understand we won’t accept their rubber stamping endless wars, and any Democrats who are falling short need to understand we will hold them accountable: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Congress failed to pass the War Powers Resolution, leaving the door open for a prolonged war with Iran.

Now Washington is already floating billions more in military spending.

Democratic leadership needs to decide: are you funding this war, or will you oppose it at every turn?

California Sues Trump Over His Unlawful Use of Tariffs -- Again

California Sues Trump Over His Unlawful Use of Tariffs -- Again

We’re suing President Trump, again, for illegally instituting tariffs, again.

American consumers and business owners have made it clear: they do NOT want tariffs.

We’re going to court for those already struggling with rising costs, for our economy, and for the constitutional separation of powers.
