Most tragically, 18 service members have died for Donald Trump\u2019s shortsightedness.\n\n\u201cThis catastrophe is entirely of Donald Trump\u2019s making. Prior to Trump entering office, Iran had agreed to limit its uranium enrichment through the JCPOA \u2014 which also included agreements with adversaries like Russia and China to help constrain Iran\u2019s nuclear program. The Strait of Hormuz was open and free from Iranian control. Now, because of Trump\u2019s incompetence, the opposite is true. Instead of enforcing checks on the Iranian regime, Russia and China are helping Iran sustain the war and the Strait of Hormuz is far from open.\n\n\u201cThis is a failed war from a failed president. American service members deserve better and the American people deserve better. Congress must rein in this out-of-control president.\u201c\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-29T11:31:28Z", "2026-08-29T11:32:37Z"]], "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://www.padilla.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/padilla-statement-on-six-costly-months-of-trumps-war-with-iran/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6298681255429983, "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"}
