What are the Democrats focused on right now? War crimes!

In the hours leading up to the 8 p.m. deadline for Iran, Democrats have shifted their focus to condemning President Trump's latest rhetoric as a "threat to commit a war crime". Outrage was sparked by the President’s social media post warning that a "whole civilization will die tonight" if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, a statement top Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have branded as "unhinged" and "disgusting". Lawmakers such as Rep. Jim McGovern and Rep. Rashida Tlaib have explicitly called these threats "illegal under international law" and "genocidal," leading to a surge in Democratic calls for drastic measures, including invoking the 25th Amendment or initiating impeachment proceedings. Currently, Democratic leadership is pressuring House Speaker Mike Johnson to end the spring recess immediately so Congress can vote to strip the President of his war powers and prevent what they describe as a "reckless war of choice".
