President Trump has started a violent, senseless war in Iran. It is an unpopular decision across party lines that fundamentally betrays the American people, puts innocent lives at risk, and benefits no one but Trump’s investors. 

Today’s guest, Hudson Valley Congressman Pat Ryan, is a U.S. army veteran who served two combat tours in Iraq. Together, Tara and Pat discuss the reality of what another endless war will do to American safety, stability, and reputation, and how Democrats need to respond in order to check executive power and demonstrate to their constituents that they won’t accept unconstitutional actions lying down.
