1/2 This evening, President Trump circumvented Congress and attacked Iran. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I await classified briefings to determine the operation’s success.

You better be doing more than just that you need to be shutting this s*** down he violated the Constitution again. It's time to impeach and remove him. There's no other f****** solution than that right now
If you can’t do your jobs, just go home.
Ya pray. That should do it. Maybe write a stern letter too.
articles of impeachment is what you should be looking at
He’s a coward. Cowards don’t stand up to fascists. They bend the knee.
One would think a self-proclaimed "climate guy" wouldn't give such a pathetic, flaccid statement about the president illegally escalating the latest chapter in our great saga of endless wars based on lies. And you wonder why everyone hates Democrats.
Like I said, I need to be briefed. And no, I don’t think politicians’ rush to put something out on social is helpful. I’m most concerned about retaliation and I said what I said. Not sure what this has to do with me being a Meteorologist, but hey! Sunny and 96° tomorrow in IL17.
War is a climate issue. It produces massive carbon emissions on top of destroying the environment. Extremely concerning that you are unaware of this, Mr. Climate Guy. earth.org/warfare-now-... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
IT FAILED. Even those bunker buster bombs do not penetrate deeply enough to damage those facilities.
Articles of impeachment
By this statement, I’m guessing your much more meteorologist than Congressman. Trump just put a 🎯 on American’s backs after pulling us out of JCPOA that Iran agreed to along with China, Germany, France, the Uk and Russia.
Tool
2/2 We must make sure Iran never builds a nuclear weapon. However, this attack may incite an escalation against Americans around the world. I am praying for the safety of our troops and urge the Trump administration to be transparent and accountable.
Call it illegal and support impeachment you coward
And you must file articles of impeachment. 🤷🏻♀️
Not only will he not, he voted to kill it! bsky.app/profile/jami...
Pretty weak shit bub
Fuck your treasonous ass I hope your family gets deployed right where Iran strikes next
I am a constituent of yours, in the Sterling/Rock Falls area. I want an explanation as to why you voted against starting an impeachment against Trump.
It was a motion to table. I’m never voting for anything when I have 15 mins to read what I’m voting on. Every member of Dem leadership also voted to table. We will have a time for articles. And it needs to come out of committee.
I'm a constituent in Peoria. I am curious as to why you voted against this? This is only the latest in the long line of impeachable offenses. Please join with Rep Green. I am losing my faith for Dem leadership when they pull shit like this
Every member of Dem leadership voted the same as I did. This needs to come from committee with articles, not brought to a floor with a symbolic vote that will fail.
Democratic leadership don’t lead. You’re a coward and an embarrassment.
Then please push Leader Jeffries to get it out ASAP. You need to be one of lead sponsors. We don't need another war. Sign onto the War Powers act. Enforce Article I sec 8.
Safe to say that a lot of us are not happy with Dem "leadership" when the only fight given is when success is attached. Principles be damned.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣THANKS FOR THE LAUGH. No matter what, felon 47 will do what he wants. Congress and scotus gave him that power. They will have moved everything in response to his lies before the fact of him wanting a war.
Urge the Trump administration to be accountable? Newsflash: YOU ARE THE FCKING ACCOUNTABILITY! Your cowardice and inability to do your job has put us in danger. Enjoy being primaried!
Thats it? Thats all you have to say? Looks like its time for you to step down.
Thanks for making Americans at home and around the world, unsafe. SHAME ON YOU ALL!!!
Interesting names on this list. bsky.app/profile/jami...
Ha. Good luck with that. Trump is Netanyahu's little dog. Pathetic.
IMPEACH
Are you insane? File articles of impeachment.
Do we still have nuclear weapons in america? I mean, considering what we did with them?
I'll be honest; under the circumstances I'm a lot more concerned that *Israel* has nuclear weapons. And Trump keeps looking for excuses to use ours. Somehow that seems like a much higher priority, you know?
Wow...your inaction says everything about your complicity. Your statements mean zilch.
What happened was illegal. What happened was illegal. Will congress ever assert their power again? Because clearly there are not three equal branches of government these days.
It’s a religious war trump just got America into
How does Trumps ass taste, Eric?
This is a joke, right? Highly inappropriate but you cannot possibly be serious?
Every last person in our Government better spend the next weeks pulling out every stop to get this fucker and his enablers ALL OF THEM out of office or I'm driving my ass to the white house and pitching a fucking tent on the lawn.
so essentially you think striking iran is a good thing. why is israel allowed to have nukes after the terrorism theyve done the past few years?
Genuine question. Why isn’t Iran allowed them when you have a man baby in charge of the nuclear codes? I would strongly argue that America shouldn’t have them either. No one should.
Pathetic response to an unconstitutional attack. You all need to be replaced
JFC More mods deep-throating fascism. The only thing you spooks are pissed off about is he didn’t ask for your permission first!
You fuckin moron
Apologies to morons.
Blown away by such a limp response. The ONLY response after telling the people “president Trump circumvented Congress and attacked Iran” is… “This illegal act clearly risks the lives of all Americans. My fellow Democrats and I will be filing articles of impeachment immediately”
These bombings were illegal. Do something about his latest power grab before Congress is completely written out of the Constitution. Don’t think for a moment he won’t try.
Don't hold your breath.
Eunuch.
I'll throw a party when Congress cancels the Lockheed Martin Contracts!! Until then... these Wars(pl) will have corporate sponsors. Like Trump's GodDamned birthday fuckery. Congressman, I'm talking to you!
I've seen four generations and fourteen members of my family serve including my father, brother, husband and son. And I am f*cking Done with the Warmongering Bullsh*t!!!!
youtu.be/hZJRJpbGkG4?...
Ok, so yeah senseless war for shitty posturing and chest thumping reasons is stupid and good for nothing. Wars to stop genocidal dictators or to free a people from a regime hell bent of killing its own people purely because of their religion is an unfortunate requirement.
You know we helped start WWII right!? Eugenics was American first. Screwing Japan's economy, and autonomy, we did that too. We were partly, of not entirely, responsible that sh*t!! We call ourselves heros for winning a war we helped cause! Against villains we helped create!
You know... We used to have UN Peace Keeping Forces, we would send in to save people from the stuff you describe. To prevent war.
Wars to stop genocide... Where they kill their own people because of faith... You mean like Gaza!?!?!?
Aaaannnnddd we’re done here. You’re obviously it interested in a rational discussion about the realities of living on this planet. BTW pretty sure that you were a protest voter so if you did choose not to vote or voted 3rd party, this is literally your fault. Good job.
I vote. I care. I've also seen 14 family members over four generations serve in Wars! Including my father, my brother, my husband and son!! And I've lived the consequences!! I am Done with This Warmongering Bullsh*t
My Godmother taught me that We Create Our Own Reality!!! And she's Right. We Do. Bear responsibility for creating a better one!!!
And when was the UN formed? Yeah. And before that it was the late of nations and that was formed after WW1.
So you admit, there are some events that actually do require a military response in order to correct the path of history. I’m not saying war is a good thing, or that it’s the first option but there are occasions where it’s unavoidable. If we limit those situations and stop making them jingoistic
Rallying cries for faux nationalism and show them for the horrible fucking things they are then it will make them less inevitable. War sucks but there are times where they are necessary.
Ok. Like the Revolution? Maybe. Like the French Revolution. Ok Like the American Civil War... ok. Those were fought to save people from As*holes!! How about we create a world where we Don't Create As*holes! Wars also create As*holes.
Where is the approval of Congress for this action?
Where is the approval of Congress for this action?
IMPEACH! What games are we f^#%ng playing? He took your car out for a joyride after saying f' you, and crashed it into another country, and saying "Whatchyu gonna do about it?" Wield power and call for impeachment!
Eric, I have also adored your work and even voted for you. I am pleading with you to bring up articles of impeachment along with AOC and the others. What happened tonight was completely illegal. Signed, One of your constituents in Rockford IL.
He went against the constitution. Yes? I don't think briefings are needed for impeachment and removal at this time. Yes?
Weak sauce
He did that and you still don’t think he should be impeached. You’ve got Cheeto dust on your lips, cocksucker.
You misspelled “awaiting classified briefings to determine which pieces we will use to impeach”
How can you evaluate it after the fact. This is an impeachable crime
Who cares if it was successful. You and the rest of Congress should be holding an emergency session to impeach him.
Keep waiting bro, laws only exist for we the pleeble
Shouldn't you be asking why the US is illegally attacking Iran because Netanyahu told you to? Or will you have to wait and see whether Netanyahu permits you to ask that?
Worthless Resign
You sure told them, am sure Trump won't ever do it again...
MAGA would be losing their minds if Joe Biden had done the exact same thing...
Not a surprising statement from a man who expressed gratitude to ICE for their kidnappings. Do better. You’re a fucking Democrat carrying water for Nazis.
Impeach him
Did he get permission from congress?
Stop being a pussy
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee that damn better not be all you're doing!
Look at you @ericsorensen.bsky.social being a Classic American. Spineless
Eric, where in your post do you mention it was illegal?????
You could keep waiting or you could impeach him.
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE. What do you not understand??
yep this is a profoundly grave mistake and highly impeachable action but i told myself thank god congressman eric’s on the case awaiting a briefing say while you’re waiting, can you direct us to any grown ups who can actually do something?
This is a war crime - there's no "success" when we unilaterally attack a country that did not attack us. This is imperialism and the height of hypocrisy. We're Russia in this scenario, just in case you didn't know. You and your colleagues need to immediately impeach, convict and remove this person.
No American asked for this and we don't want this blood on our hands. Use our tax dollars to actually take care of us instead of murdering innocent people. If you don't do your job - you will lose your job. We will make sure you a primaried and we will elect someone who is serious. #impeach
Hey how about "we're fixing to find out how bad Trump fucked up and get his ass out of office for illegally bombing another country"
You are insane thinking you are still playing pati cale with this fascist regime. Either stand up and demand impeachment or shut the fuck up with your toe in the water criticism bull shit.
every bomb dropped is another hour of my elderly years, of kids today’s adulthoods, that will be spent in a state of global famine. there’s nothing that would make what y’all are doing (and failing to do when it comes to preserving our environment) acceptable.
He said he told the Republicans
Success? Success?!? FOH. Your boy is a goddamn monster.
That's it? You're waiting? JFC! Not good enough. This clown show needs to be shut down.
No shock this corrupt coward voted for this bullshit praising ICE with the GOP, while they are out kidnapping people, and wrecking families and the protests were going. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...
There was no nuclear program you spineless coward.
Demand impeachment. I don't care if you are the only one. Stand up for us. He illegally bombed a country that was not a danger to us. Are you so used to the criminality that occurs everyday, you just gave up? I voted for you, please don't make me regret it. Canton IL.
I usually support you completely but this was a weak, weak statement. Circumventing Congress to take us to war should be a call for impeachment.
The entire world intelligence community said Iran did NOT, nor was even close to having a nuke. Trump’s response? Pull out his sharpie and bomb Iran. You cannot see the forest through the trees, Congressman.
How pathetic are you?
What a weak ass statement. Why even put that out?
I am Congressman and I await dictator’s briefing 2 days later after breaking chain of command.
No fucking kidding. Congress is just smoke and mirrors. All BS.
You can be assured that he will send a very strongly worded letter later about he agrees with the action, but wishes Trump just wasn't such a meanie about it.
You just voted to table an article of impeachment against Trump, why? That was a chance to hold him accountable, and you chose to shut it down. You’re not standing with the people who put you in office. I’m going to make sure everyone in the Quad Cities knows where you really stand.
Jesus Christ Man, be a fucking leader! The criminal in the White House committed more crimes and your writing this kind of jobber jabber! DO SOMETHING FFS! or get the hell out of Congress if you can’t figure out how to stand up to the madman!
Fuck Trump and fuck you too! You want war with Iran so bad? You and that orange doofus can go over there right now. We’ll give you a rusty bayonet and a can of spam. Good luck!
My comment was labeled rude? I couldn’t be more proud.
You know he is lying his ass off, just like everything else he says. You are supposed to be the ones protecting us from a rogue president. Impeach. Convict. Remove. Imprison. You swore your oath to the constitution, so act like it.
I would like to focus more on “this is a bad action to take” and not “congress didn’t approve this.”
