If a member believes that Trump’s bombing of Iran is “illegal” then messaging around it is incomplete if he or she is not combining it by labeling it as an impeachable offense.
Messaging like this doesn’t meet the moment.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war.
I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

What is happening outside immigration courthouses in Phoenix is horrifying. These people are showing up for their court dates–doing exactly what is asked of them–and are being met with handcuffs. Mothers are being arrested in front of their children. It's sickening.

“We’re gonna cut Medicaid, but no one will lose Medicaid as long as states spend more to make up for our cuts - so it’s not really a cut” appears to be the new GOP line.
