Sen. Ossoff: "We've now seen massive cuts to Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest people"
“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”
