Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on Donald Trump\u2019s heinous \u2013 and sociopathic \u2013 threats against Iran:\n\n\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s threats to destroy Iran are completely deranged. They show the world that our country\u2019s so-called leader is nothing more than a sadistic maniac who will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants. Threatening and targeting civilian infrastructure \u2013 and civilians \u2013 is not leadership \u2013 it is a dangerous abuse of power and potential war crime.\n\n\u201cThe American people deserve steady, moral, and responsible leadership \u2013 not reckless escalation that puts our soldiers in harm\u2019s way and makes the homeland vulnerable to retaliation.\n\n\u201cThe American people also clearly want us out of this war. They have yet to hear anything coherent from the President \u2013 or his subservient minions \u2013 on what our objectives are or why we are at war.\n\n\u201cCongressional Republicans must call Congress back to D.C. so we can end this war. I hope my Republican colleagues will agree with us \u2013 anything less is complete complicity with Trump\u2019s insanity.\u201d\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-06-04T06:38:12Z", "2026-06-04T06:39:44Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://benniethompson.house.gov/media/press-releases/ranking-member-thompson-statement-trumps-deranged-threats-iran"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7004548572003841, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
