Democrats vow to keep trying to stop Trump's war with Iran

House Democrats gathered at the U.S. Capitol and lambasted the Trump administration's ceasefire negotiations with Iran as chaotic and unworkable, and characterized the president's threats about wiping out a civilization as the musings of madness.

The lawmakers warned they would keep proposing resolutions to end the war, and use their votes to block any requests from the administration for more money to fund it.

"It's clear that their ability to negotiate with Iran is nonexistent," said Rep. Glenn Ivey of Maryland, who called Trump's plans for tolls on the Strait of Hormuz particularly outrageous.

Rep. Madeleine Dean from Pennsylvania, who supports efforts to force Trump to step aside under the Constitution's 25th Amendment, pointed back to the president's days of escalatory rhetoric.

"The president brought the entire globe to watch his madness," she said.
