You know, what I want to do is end the war.
It's illegal.
It's a war of choice.
And there I feel like we have a little more power.
But one of the things that has to happen is that we have to have hearings.
Now, some people say, well, how does that help?
Right now, this administration has only provided classified briefings to members of Congress about this war, meaning we exit that room and can't say a thing about what we've been briefed on.
They need to come public.
They need to come and have Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Rubio answer questions under oath in public.
What does that do?
That gives that informs the American people.
It shows that they didn't have that they weren't facing an imminent threat.
It shows that we were not under attack.
It shows that there has been a moving explanation for why we're there.
It shows that they have no exit plan.
And then the people
can voice their views on this war.
But without any information, that's really hard for the American people to do what they need to do in protest of this illegal war of choice.
And so they have to stop acting in secret.
