Trump does NOT have authorization to attack Iran. Congress has already made this clear many, many times. Absent an imminent threat, war with Iran is ILLEGAL. If he wants to put US servicemembers in harm’s way, come to Congress and make the case for it.

I'll be sad to see him go, but I believe that he's making a good decision, and that he'll continue to do good work in other roles, in the future.
Minnesota has to come first - always.
Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.
I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

No tears shed for Maduro, an illegitimate authoritarian ruler. But what comes next? Trump unilaterally sent American servicemembers to remove a foreign ruler and his plan is that the U.S. will run Venezuela?
There are serious concerns about the risk this poses to American lives + national security.

Brendan Carr is using the FCC to target the President’s political opponents, launching investigations into every major network except Fox. This isn't enforcing the law—it's retaliation. We must protect free speech and keep our independent agencies independent.
