No More Money for Trump’s Illegal War in Iran

I am writing to demand that Congress refuse to authorize or appropriate a single additional dollar for the ongoing war in Iran. This conflict was launched without congressional authorization, without a clear legal justification, and without the support of the American public. It is an illegal war o

Defend the Rules-Based Order — Congress Must Obstruct This Illegal War

I am writing to express deep alarm over the ongoing U.S. war in Iran—launched without congressional authorization and without a clear legal basis.

“Stupid Rules of Engagement?” 175 Children Are Dead — Congress Must Act

I am writing with outrage and deep concern over the reported strike on an Iranian girls’ school near Minab on February 28 that killed at least 175 people, most of them children.

Americans Do Not Want This War—DO SOMETHING!

I write again in opposition to the escalating war with Iran — a war launched without congressional authorization and without a clear strategy, end goal, or democratic mandate.

Stop the Escalation: Congress Must End Trump’s Illegal War With Iran

Did Rubio Admit That We Started This War at Another Government’s Urging?

Let me be absolutely clear at the outset: criticism of a government is not criticism of a people. Jewish Americans — and Jewish communities worldwide — deserve safety, dignity, and full protection from antisemitism. Nothing about opposing this war diminishes that. It is equally important to state:

Stop the Illegal War With Iran — Democrats Must Oppose It Now

Democrats must stop equivocating and oppose this war with Iran clearly and without qualification. This conflict was initiated without congressional authorization.

Reassert Congress’s War Powers: Stop Escalation Toward Cuba

Congress Must Act — This War With Iran Is Unlawful and Unchecked

I am writing in profound alarm and outrage at the unauthorized military action the United States has taken against Iran as of Saturday.

This Is How Democracies Fail — Congress Must Act

Following tonight’s address by President Donald Trump, I write with profound alarm and urgency. What we are witnessing is not simply a set of policy disagreements.

No War on Iran — Congress Must Reassert Its Authority Now

NO to “Board of Peace”—Defend Palestinian Self-Determination, Not Dispossession

I write in unequivocal opposition to President Donald Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace.” At a moment of profound devastation in the Gaza Strip, this proposal does not represent a credible path to peace.

Immediate Congressional Action Needed to Prevent Humanitarian Collapse in Cuba

No War on Iran—Congress Must Reassert Its Constitutional Authority
