The President must be removed. [View all]

Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell · 2h
The President must be removed. If Congress is too cowardly to do it, his own Cabinet must.

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna 4h
We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump.

Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.

We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice. 2:17 PM · Apr 7, 2026

Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury
Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

This is all hands on deck—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—AMERICANS must look at using any and every tool to stop the President and his unauthorized war including the 25th Amendment, Impeachment, and War Powers Resolutions. The world is watching, and history will remember.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.

To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury
America is at a crossroads. It’s time for Donald Trump to be removed from the Presidency. Period.

We need Republicans in Congress and the Cabinet to stand up and act immediately—human lives are on the line.
