BREAKING 🚨 Bipartisan anti-war champions @RoKhanna & @RepThomasMassie will force a Yemen War Powers vote to prevent renewed US direct bombing and to stop US targeting assistance for Saudi regime bombing of Yemen

The US must demand a diplomatic end to Saudi-Yemen conflict!🕊️

Congress never authorized Trump to wage war to defend the Saudi regime

I introduced a Yemen War Powers Resolution (H.Con.Res.124) with @RepThomasMassie to mandate that the US stay out of war in Yemen

Trump must honor the US-Yemen ceasefire and use diplomacy, not war

Growing consensus against cloture for funds that allow Hegseth to continue Iran war into 2027

New: Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) calls for the Senate to reject any govt funding bill that includes $$$ for the war in Iran

“The stakes are too high for us to fall into our usual shutdown politics. Instead, we should act in a bipartisan manner”

Govt funding expires Dec. 11

US is complicit in Saudi hostilities in Yemen by providing targeting and other support for Saudi airstrikes that likely amount to war crimes!

Congress must:

🛑Block Trump's sale of 10,000 bombs to Saudi regime (S.J.Res.216)

✅Pass the Yemen War Powers Res. (H.Con.Res.124)

US-Saudi war in Yemen is failing, so they are escalating the war crimes in response:

"33 people were killed and 39 wounded"

"The strikes keep coming. Just as rescuers arrive, another strike hits. We have even lost some of our own medical responders"

It's too late for Republicans to reconsider.

In fact, as @SenTimKaine explains:

"Republicans need Democratic votes" because they need "60 votes in the Senate" to extend budget that "expires on Dec. 11

Zero @SenateDems should vote to fund Hegseth to continue the Iran war

Americans are loud and clear: Not one more cent toward the illegal Iran war.

When I put forth an amendment to the defense bill that would halt funding from this war, Republicans blocked it.

Once the Senate returns, it’s time for them to reconsider.

The mechanics are simple, @SenatorSlotkin:

Zero @SenateDems who voted to end Iran War should now fund Hegseth to continue it.

Listen to @SenTimKaine:

"Republicans need Democratic votes" as funding "expires on Dec. 11" — new funding should have "no money for war in Iran"

👀 I asked Slotkin her thoughts on shutting down the government to stop funding the Iran war and she said:

“I’m open to all those conversations. I think the American public has made very clear what they think of the war, and we all need to hear that, Democrats and Republicans, but I just haven’t even started to think about the mechanics of Dec. 11th.”
