"The Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature." — James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 1798

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL FORTUNATE SON/ DOWN ON THE CORNER

This song is so on point right now as commands are issued from the situation room at Mar-a-Lago. Funny how the administration uses it without listening to the lyrics

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran
Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement.
"Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program.
"Now Trump says he's taken America to war for regime change in Iran.
"Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress.
"I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace.
"The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have 'obliterated' — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran's support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm's way should only ever be a last resort.
"I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism."

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

Andi is an RN from Oregon — she and her wife are buying a house in #Comox and she'll be commuting to #Nanaimo to work in NRGH!

Andi is the 5th healthcare worker in 72 hours to pass through the Nanaimo Healthcare Infusion (I think we're past 40 American healthcare workers moving here?)

❗️ The US, Israel, and Gulf Arab states' interceptor missile arsenals could be depleted within days if Iran maintains the current intensity of retaliatory strikes, a source familiar with the situation told Bloomberg.

These are antithetical to right-wing politics in Canada, and I don't see how Carney continuing to flip-flop on US relations is sustainable in keeping his left-wing folks like Greaves while also keeping his right-wing floor crossers, AND balancing that all into a majority win in the next few years.

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

There is an elevated chance that Iran and its proxies have more weapons stored for when the ammo runs low.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

I built this box of SpaceNam soldiers from Reptilian Overlords and Wargames Atlantic. I think they make better Catachans than the official GW models. And they are about half the price.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

In 1973, a veto-proof majority of Congress took the position that POTUS’s constitutional powers to use military force are limited to:

1) declaration of war

2) specific statutory authorization

3) national emergency triggered by attack on U.S., its territories or possessions, or armed forces. 1/n

I guess I sort of expected more from the 🇨🇦 Prime Minister after Davos than a statement that is a slightly more polite version of the 🇺🇸 Speaker of the House from the far right authoritarian party. That was maybe an error on my part. I apologize.

The three people most mentioned in the Epstein files are Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump.

One of them died in prison, one of them is in prison now, and one of them is president.

But sure, let’s depose Hillary Clinton.
