As the world witnesses events unfolding in Iran, my heart is with the men and women who swore an oath to serve our country. The power to declare war rests with Congress. The President must be held to account and explain why his Administration took the actions it did.

Today we mourn the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson, a servant leader whose movement and voice called our nation to its highest ideals. He taught an unwavering belief in the dignity of every child of God. I’m grateful to have known him and am thinking of the Jackson family.
