“Israel must stop these attacks. No matter how incompetently negotiated this ceasefire was, we should all want it hold. But that means all parties to this regional war - the U.S., Iran, Israel, and Iran's proxies - must stand down.
“Congress cannot entrust FISA powers and national security to someone who has never held a security clearance and has already proven himself eager to use his public office in pursuit of the President's political vengeance.
“Tonight, I joined a bipartisan majority of the House in voting to end President Trump's reckless war in Iran.
“Simply put, you just gave the President and his family a tax immunity to the tune of about $100 million. The only way to stop Trump's nearly $2 billion MAGA slush fund and his blank check to commit tax fraud is to abolish it by law — permanently. The president, his associates, and family members were innocent of whatever they were being investigated for, the investigation would surely bear that out. But now we will never know.
“The President is now exempt from our tax laws while everyone else has to obey them.
“I heard the treasury secretary say that, 'Who cares about the downgrading of our credit rating from Moody's?' That is a big deal. That means that we are likely headed for a recession and probably means higher interest rates for anybody out there who is trying to start a business or to buy a home.
“This is outright theft. Trump is stealing $1.7 BILLION of your money to set up a totally unprecedented, first-in-American-history political slush fund that he can use to dole out cash to win loyalty and favors for him and his family.
“We should not fail to note how extraordinary it is that our Senate Republican leadership has declined to do any oversight of a war that is costing billions of dollars every week.
“There's no pause button in the Constitution or the War Powers Act. Congress has a constitutional duty to act and Republican leadership is abdicating it.
“$25 billion is probably less than half, maybe less than a quarter of the total cost of this war. And there's no pause button in the Constitution or the War Powers Act.
“Republicans could have spent their reconciliation process on gas prices or the health insurance catastrophe that's about to hit Americans... We can't fund that kind of agency. We would be violating our oath of office, all of us, to fund an agency that just doesn't care about the law.
“Allowing Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz would be a history-changing win for Tehran. The level of incompetence is both stunning and heartbreaking. Hard to believe that a rushed agreement made under the threat of civilization annihilation doesn't seem to be holding together for more than 24 hours.
“I have filed 13 articles of impeachment against Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors — including serial usurpation of the congressional war power and commission of murder, war crimes and piracy. I am also calling for the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment as Trump escalates his illegal war and threatens to annihilate an entire civilization.
“If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. Completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

“It's likely that experienced generals are telling Hegseth his Iran war plans are unworkable, disastrous, and deadly.
“Trump's war in Iran is spiraling out of control. He has no legal authority to continue this war without Congress, and we will keep forcing votes until this body does its constitutional duty. A war powers resolution would obligate the president to seek approval from Congress on further military action in the region.
“It is truly a moral moment. I think we need to take a stand.
“She must immediately resign or be fired, & if she is not removed, I will support moving forward with impeachment proceedings in the House of ...
“The illegality of Trump's insane war in Venezuela is out of control.
“President Trump has put a 'for sale' sign on the White House — soliciting hundreds of millions of dollars from special interests to fund his $300 million vanity project. Our measure is a direct response to Trump's ballroom boondoggle. With commonsense reforms to how the federal government can use private donations, our legislation prevents President Trump and future presidents from using construction projects as vehicles for corruption and personal vanity.
“The project at the White House is a gigantic boondoggle. The important question is not only the damage that it could do to the architecture of the White House, but also what contributors would have over Trump if they are giving to this project.
