"The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and idiotic action."
"The American people have seen this playbook before - claims of urgency, misrepresented intelligence, and military action that pulls the United States into regime change and prolonged, costly nation-building."
"We should have Congress immediately go back into session for the War Powers vote to reassert the American people's will, which, again, they don't want to be at war. So I'm ready to go right back to the Senate today."
The U.S. and Israel initiated major combat operations against Iran overnight, with Trump announcing the action aimed at destroying military capabilities and fostering regime change. Democratic senators, including Tim Kaine and Andy Kim, immediately called for Congress to reconvene and vote on war powers resolutions to block U.S. involvement in hostilities against Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Gang of Eight before the strikes. Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats criticized the administration for proceeding without congressional authorization, drawing parallels to past military interventions based on questionable intelligence that led to prolonged conflicts.
