Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing I have great sympathy for our soldiers & our military leaders — they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind”

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.

These Lawmakers Were Shaped by Combat After 9/11. Now They're Grappling with a New Mideast War

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.

A statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the American citizen and Registered Nurse who was murdered by Border Patrol in Minneapolis today.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an
ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.
I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

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.

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.
