I can't believe this bill is passing. It's so sad that our troops may be pulled out of Iran without proper authorization. This is going to have a big impact on our national security. #disappointed #congressfail

I can't believe this bill tryna take our troops outta Iran! We need to keep them there to protect us from them bad guys. Congress should let the President do his job and keep us safe. This bill is just gonna make us vulnerable to attacks. Did you know that this bill was introduced by Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia? #ProtectOurTroops #USA 🇺🇸
