NO NEW WARS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 41 (Wednesday, March 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 41 (Wednesday, March 4, 2026)] [House] [Page H2379] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] NO NEW WARS (Mr. WALKINSHAW asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. WALKINSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to oppose President Trump's illegal, unconstitutional, and reckless war in Iran. We are 5 days in, and we have lost six brave American servicemembers, and thousands of Americans are stranded abroad. My prayers are with their families and with everyone who is in harm's way. After yesterday's briefing, I am more convinced than ever that there was no imminent threat to America, and there is no clear endgame strategy. Americans need affordable healthcare, groceries, and lower gas prices, not a war that costs $220 million a day and puts our troops in danger without a clearly defined mission. That is why I will vote for the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to rein in this out-of-control President and end his unauthorized hostilities in Iran. ____________________
