Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ)
Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari@RepYassAnsari · Apr 6, 2026Trump is escalating a devastating, illegal war, threatening massive war crimes and targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran. In the last 48 hours alone, the rhetoric has crossed every line. Pete Hegseth is complicit. I’ve called for the 25th Amendment and am introducing Articles of Impeachment against Hegseth.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib@RepRashida · Apr 7, 2026After bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.
- #5
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA)
Ed Markey@EdMarkey · Apr 6, 2026Donald Trump must be removed from office. Not only is he waging an illegal war—he’s threatening war crimes. To the members of our military: remember, you do not have to follow illegal orders.
- #6
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI)
Congressman Shri Thanedar@RepShriThanedar · Apr 7, 2026Trump just threatened to slaughter 100 million people. It's clear he's unfit to be president, the 25th amendment must be invoked. If Vance, Rubio & the others continue to be spineless cowards, Congress must do everything possible to stop Trump & this war.
- #7
Fmr Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸@FmrRepMTG · Apr 7, 202625TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.
- #8
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO)
Rep. Diana DeGette@RepDianaDeGette · Apr 7, 2026Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization. 25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.
- #9
Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA)
Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove@RepKamlagerDove · Apr 7, 2026I’m sick to my stomach. The fate of millions of innocent civilians now depends on the whims of a sick and demented man. This is pure evil. Republicans, if there were ever a time to stand up, it’s now. We must invoke the 25th Amendment before it’s too late.
- #10
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI)
Rep. Mark Pocan@RepMarkPocan · Apr 7, 202625th Amendment RIGHT NOW! Trump is too unhinged, dangerous, and deranged to have the nuclear codes!
- #11
Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA)
Rep. Summer Lee@RepSummerLee · Apr 7, 2026This is sick and twisted from anyone, much less the president of the United States. Trump’s genocidal language and indiscriminate warfare cannot be normalized or accepted. He should be removed from office.
- #12
Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL)
Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez@repdeliaramirez · Apr 7, 2026Trump’s unhinged threats of violence and genocide are inexcusable. He is a warmonger, escalating the conflict for his own profit and consolidation of power. My Republican colleagues can't keep turning a blind eye. He must be stopped and impeached.
- #13
Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE)
Congresswoman Sarah McBride@Rep_McBride · Apr 7, 2026In a political career defined by grotesque statements, this president’s horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling. You can’t shout “fire” in a crowded theater and a president cannot be allowed to threaten genocide with the United States military. Threats of war crimes and disregard for human life must be met with accountability under the law. Trump must go—and Republicans, whether in the Cabinet or Congress, must join Democrats in using any and all constitutional powers at our collective disposal to end this illegal war and take the gun out of this madman’s hands.
- #14
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA)
Rep. Seth Moulton Press Office@RepMoulton · Apr 7, 2026This is not normal. This is not just "Trump being Trump". This is an insane man who is unfit for office, and needs to be removed immediately.
- #15
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM)
Rep. Melanie Stansbury@Rep_Stansbury · Apr 7, 2026This man is threatening mass killings and war crimes on social media posts. When will enough be enough? This is why the 25th Amendment and impeachment were created. These aren’t policy differences. He is threatening crimes. It’s time to invoke the 25th. But we can’t do it alone—we need our Republican colleagues to do the right thing, for this country and for the world.
- #16
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA)
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna · Apr 7, 2026We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.
- #17
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL)
Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost@RepMaxwellFrost · Apr 7, 2026Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price. We must stop this war immediately. Every member of Congress must stand up to these threats and put an end to this before more lives are lost. Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and impeachment.
- #18
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@RepPressley · Apr 7, 2026This is a horrifying threat of genocidal war crimes. The lives of civilians and service members alike are at stake here. Congress must stop this war and remove Trump from the White House.
- #19
Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD)
Rep. Johnny Olszewski@RepJohnnyO · Apr 7, 2026Reckless, dangerous rhetoric from the most powerful office in the world. This isn’t leadership. This is a threat to end millions of innocent lives, which would lead to catastrophic results for America and the world. Congress should pass a War Powers Resolution, and if there’s any indication President Trump will follow through on this threat, the cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment.
- #20
Rep. Julie Johnson (D-TX)
Congresswoman Julie Johnson@RepJulieJohnson · Apr 7, 2026Trump is acting recklessly. His war with Iran has already cost American lives. This is a serious conflict, not a reality show. We need steady, diplomatic leadership. What we’re seeing now is insane behavior from a deranged president. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
- #21
Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA)
Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@RepSaraJacobs · Apr 7, 2026The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.
- #22
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ)
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman@RepBonnie · Apr 7, 2026That's it. It's time to use the 25th Amendment. In just 48 hours, the president has gone from threatening war crimes to threatening genocide. He is clearly unstable and must be set aside. cc @VP @SpeakerJohnson @ChuckGrassley
- #23
Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-CA)
Nicholas Wu@nicholaswu12 · Apr 7, 2026Dem Rep. Lateefah Simon wants Trump impeached over Iran
- #24
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA)
Congressman Robert Garcia@RepRobertGarcia · Apr 7, 2026Donald Trump has lost his mind and his threats to wipe out the Iranian people should be taken seriously. He’s out of control and his cabinet and those around him must be loyal to the constitution and invoke the 25th amendment. He must be removed.
- #25
Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME)
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@chelliepingree · Apr 7, 2026@JulianAndreone @JulianAndreone I'm not on this platform much anymore, so sharing my Bluesky post from Sunday and appearance calling for the 25th Amendment on MSNOW youtube.com/watch?v=AOsA4s…
- #26
Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ)
Rep. Rob Menendez@RepMenendez · Apr 7, 2026The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked.
- #27
Rep. April McClain Delaney (D-MD)
Rep. April McClain Delaney@RepAprilDelaney · Apr 7, 2026Donald Trump saying a “whole civilization will die tonight” is beyond reckless—it’s inhumane. No leader should speak about human lives with this kind of indifference. America should stand for peace, dignity, and responsibility—not threats that put innocent people at risk. Threatening to destroy an entire civilization is both morally indefensible and effectively a declaration of war - something a president has no authority to initiate without congressional approval. Such a blatant and unethical overreach of executive power is grounds for impeachment, which I'm calling for.
- #28
Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA)
Congresswoman Nikema Williams@RepNikema · Apr 7, 2026Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.
- #29
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN)
Steve Cohen@RepCohen · Apr 7, 2026Trump’s proposed attacks on civilian infrastructure in Iran tonight must be stopped. Calling for the end of Persian ‘civilization’ is a call for genocide, and any decent human being must oppose it. See my full statement here: cohen.house.gov/media-center/p…
- #30
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX)
Joaquin Castro@JoaquinCastrotx · Apr 7, 2026The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.
- #31
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) ... A big one
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC · Apr 7, 2026This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
