'A crisis of Trump's creation': Mass. politicians respond to strikes on Iran
"Your tax dollars are being used to bomb Iran, while Donald Trump ignores the struggles of working people who can't afford health care and are struggling to pay for groceries here at home. She called the conflict a war built on lies and a betrayal of the American people."
"A diplomatic solution remains the best way to permanently and verifiably prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. This is a crisis of Trump's creation, and Congress must act immediately to prevent further escalation into a wider regional war."
Massachusetts Democratic lawmakers strongly opposed President Trump's military strikes on Iran, characterizing them as illegal warfare built on false pretenses. Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the conflict as a betrayal of Americans, noting that tax dollars fund bombing while domestic needs go unmet. Senator Ed Markey warned of escalation risks and advocated for immediate war powers resolution votes and diplomatic engagement. Multiple members of Congress from Massachusetts prepared to participate in upcoming votes on war powers resolutions designed to constrain Trump's military authority. Despite bipartisan support for these resolutions, their passage remained uncertain, and their practical impact on the ongoing conflict was unclear.
