must come to Washington.
They must vote on this.
They must put their names on the records with regards to where they stand on these strikes.
And then we've also heard from the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, that is Mark Warner, and essentially what his message has been.
in a statement is he says that we have heard claims of urgency of American intelligence before, clearly referencing previous wars, Iraq, for example, being one of them, and saying that the president must answer questions with regards to the objective here, basically saying if President Trump can come out and put a video on his social media platform, an eight-minute video in which he has warned that there could be

That justification needs to be there.
Now, certainly, we know that Donald Trump has spoken not just about a failure of a nuclear deal, but he has also spoken about ending what he calls a campaign of bloodshed against Americans.

and inclusion.
And I think the feeling this morning is a sense of sadness that Jesse Jackson was a giant of 20th century America, because he is someone who started as that protege of Martin Luther King Jr., who was there when he was assassinated, and then went on to become a civil rights leader, and I think ultimately a political force in his own right.
