Democrats Call For Congressional Vote On Trump's 'Illegal' War Against Iran - Huffpost [View all]
There will be more votes and more announcements. Unfortunately my new Dem Rep has been voting with MAGA. lately and I don''t expect her to come out against the bombing. At best she'll pretend nothing happened.

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” she (AOC) wrote in a post online. “He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.”
Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) added: “This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.”
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), an Iraq War veteran, called the bombing “illegal and unjustified” and said it put U.S. troops at risk of retaliation by Iran.
Only one Democrat ― Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania ― openly praised Trump’s military strikes against Iran, calling it the “correct” decision.
