New York

“

This is one of the very worst military and foreign policy actions that the United States has ever taken. Congress must reassert its authority, especially at this dangerous moment. No president, Democrat or Republican, should take this country to war alone. Not now. Not ever. All of this happens when one man, especially a man acting as unhinged as Donald Trump, has unchecked power to wage war.

“

Far-right authoritarian Viktor Orbán has lost the election. Trump sycophants and MAGA extremists in Congress are up next in November. Winter is coming.

“

Orbán's loss is a significant defeat for Putin, for Trump and for the forces of authoritarianism around the world. This should be a wake-up call for Americans ahead of the midterms. Authoritarianism can be defeated at the ballot box.

“

Following the incredibly disturbing sexual assault accusations against Congressman Eric Swalwell, we call for a swift investigation into these incidents and for the Congressman to immediately end his campaign to be California's next Governor.

“

A two-week cease-fire is insufficient. We need a permanent end to Donald Trump's reckless war of choice. The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East. The American people deserve better than a president who threatens to wipe out civilizations one day and announces a temporary pause the next.

“

I'm glad Trump backed off and is desperately searching for any sort of exit ramp from his ridiculous bluster. But two weeks is not a peace deal — it's a pause. Congress still needs to weigh in on whether this country goes back to war or finds a way out of one the president started without authorization.

“

Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is. An extremely sick person is in charge of the United States.

“

His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response. The House must vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East.

“

As you head off to church and celebrate with friends and family, the President of the United States is ranting like an unhinged madman on social media, threatening possible war crimes and alienating allies.

“

Good riddance. Pam Bondi was the wrong choice from the start. The rot at the Department of Justice begins and ends with Donald Trump.

“

Pam Bondi is a partisan, petulant, political hack. And now she's GONE. Keep the pressure on every single one of these extremists.

“

Birthright citizenship is the bedrock of our belonging; it is how we have been able to build our lives and call this country home.

“

For days, Republican divisions derailed a bipartisan agreement, making American families pay the price for their dysfunction. Throughout this fight, Senate Democrats never wavered. We were clear from the start: fund critical security, protect Americans, and no blank check for reckless ICE and Border Patrol enforcement.

“

I rise today in strong opposition to this Republican budget that prioritizes ICE brutality over the American people. It's time to pay TSA agents, end the airport chaos and fully fund every part of the Department of Homeland Security that does not relate to Donald Trump's violent mass deportation machine.

“

When we present something on the floor, it's our determination to win. The new resolution contains substantial differences from the first, reflecting the developments in the conflict over the last three weeks as well as the sentiment of voters, a majority of whom oppose the war.

“

Our offer is a reasonable, good-faith proposal that contains some of the very same asks Democrats have been talking about now for months. And time is of the essence I'd say to my Republican colleagues. The Easter holiday is coming, families are going on spring break. TSA lines are literally stretching out the door of airports.

“

Today every senator, every single one, will pick a side: Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted of forever wars in the Middle East? Or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war? This resolution ensures this administration cannot sleepwalk this country into an endless and costly war.

“

Donald Trump failed to seek Congressional authorization prior to striking Iran. Instead, the President's decision to abandon diplomacy and launch a massive military attack has left American troops vulnerable to Iran's retaliatory actions.

“

The American people do not want another endless and costly war. The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act.

“

The War Powers Resolution would require immediate termination of any additional military action. Any military action against Iran would be unconstitutional without consultation with and authorization from Congress. Every Member will have the opportunity to go on record as to whether they support military action against Iran absent Congressional approval.

“

Does Donald Trump need a copy of the Constitution? What he's saying is outlandishly illegal. Once again, the president's talking no differently than a dictator.

“

Democrats would block the funding bill if DHS funding is included

“

DHS and ICE violence is out of control and Americans have died on her watch. She must resign or be impeached NOW.

“

Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives.

“

$200 million for Trump's large, fancy White House ballroom... That's what DOGE was all about, folks. Cutting things from you, and giving it not to some place that needed it, giving it to the big shots who run the show, Donald Trump at the top of the list.

“

It's not his house. It's your house. And he's destroying it.
