General Discussion

Virginia Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the upper chamber’s intelligence committee, panned Trump’s comments as “rantings” and suggested the president hadn’t settled yet on a course of action ahead of his Tuesday night deadline.

Rhode Island Representative Seth Magaziner said following the president’s post that Congress should reconvene and “immediately” vote to end the war against Iran. “The president’s enablers must wake up to the fact that he is becoming increasingly erratic and dangerous, and our country needs new leadership.”

And Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib said lawmakers should invoke the 25th Amendment — a constitutional failsafe allowing Congress to remove a president deemed unfit for office — against Trump.

Speaking to Just the News, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson said he was “hoping and praying” the president’s rhetoric about targeting civilian infrastructure was “bluster.” “I do not want to see us start blowing up civilian infrastructure,” said Johnson, a staunch supporter of the administration. “We are not at war with the Iranian people — we are trying to liberate them.”
