Here's Schumer, according to sources. bsky.app/profile/ms.n...

NEW: Senator Chuck Schumer is calling for Congress to come back to Washington immediately and vote on a war powers resolution regarding Iran.  MS NOW's @alivitali.bsky.social reports.

I'm glad they're all pushing for a vote on the Khanna/Massie War Powers resolution. I think they should similarly get behind impeachment.

People say what's the point of impeachment? It'll fail. The War Powers resolution will possibly (probably?) fail as well, like the Venezuelan War Powers resolution. You push for both because both are required responses to the illegality we're facing.

You fight the little battles you know you’re gonna lose and you keep piling them on and you stuff sessions and the courts with as much anti-fascist defense as they are with fascist takeover tactics. If cruelty is their intention—make them feel it, too, legally, financially, morally. Do the job.

Slotkin's statement on the other end of the spectrum. Doesn't explicitly call for a vote on the War Powers resolution - just says Trump "hasn't followed the Constitution" and "Congress should come back to Washington to debate these issues." bsky.app/profile/slot...

My statement on President Trump's Strikes on Iran:

Thing is, at this point it’s no longer up to us to stop Trump from going to war with Iran. After this, Iran is most likely going to war with us. All we’ve got left is “How can the US calm Iran.” Which we probably can not do. Bernie, Congress has been effectively mooted. Dammit.

Also you force all those gutless Republicans to go on the record with their hypocritical, Constitution-nullifying votes (and hope that maybe a few of them may figuratively—or LITERALLY—have a come-to-Jesus about what their choices are doing)
