7 U.S. service members and over 1,000 civilians have been killed since President Trump launched an illegal war with Iran. As these veteran members of Congress know, the costs of war are only going to rise.
Congress should refuse to fund this unconstitutional war before more people are killed.

As Congress responds to President Donald Trump's attack on Iran, lawmakers who served on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan are making their voices heard in a war debate that has taken on intensely personal meaning.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

As it turns out, unaccountable mobs of armed and anonymous goons rampaging through American cities is really unpopular. Who’d a thunk it?
👋 Dems! Vociferous opposition to ICE is not just the right and patriotic thing to do, it is also a winning “kitchen table” concern to the American people.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Congratulations to the 19 states raising the minimum wage in 2026.
But let’s be clear: a $7.25 federal minimum wage is a national disgrace.
No one who works full-time should live in poverty. We must keep fighting to guarantee all workers a living wage — not starvation wages.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.
