OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON
TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN
"The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.

"Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.'

"Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.

"Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.

"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.

For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.

Good morning #proudblue. We awake to war. Hard realities don't require hardened hearts, they require anchored ones. Grieve what feels misguided Question what feels ego driven. Lament what is unnecessary. Refuse becoming cruel. We steady by being rooted. Connect to what is tender. I love democracy.

Bruce Arthur: The U.S. men’s hockey team’s triumphant return to the NHL is an exercise in damage control Some players complained that partying with the FBI director and attending the Trump’s State of the Union was being politicized. Others apologized.

Some US men’s players apologized; even more talked about how much they respected the USA women’s team. What they didn’t seem to realize was that if you respect them and don’t apologize for the Trump debacle, it actually makes embracing Trump worse. www.thestar.com/sports/nhl/t...

Trump is exploring illegal options to nationalize the election. It’s not about whether he will or won’t, it’s about convincing his people that a loss, means an election was stolen. This is unacceptable.

This morning at approximately
6:30 a.m., federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security entered a Columbia Residential building and detained a student.

Another day, another DHS lie exposed. Congress must rein in this abusive, lawless agency.

In a group chat Monday afternoon, people were crowdsourcing diapers and supplies for a newborn. The baby’s mother had been taken."
