Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

Do not let pro-Putin voices exploit current events to launder their own agenda.

You can be against American intervention without dismissing years of documented war crimes committed by the Russian state. (1)

Senate votes down war powers resolution aimed at blocking Trump's strikes on alleged drug boats Senate Democrats forced a vote under the War Powers Act aimed at blocking continued U.S. strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Reminder that every single Republican senator voted to let Drumpf and Kegseth continue to kill fisherman in Venezuela.

Your Republican voting family, friends, neighbors and pretend Christian church goers are the problem. Maybe talk to them.

War powers debate intensifies after Trump orders attack on Iran without approval by Congress Key members of Congress are demanding a swift vote on a war powers resolution that would restrain President Donald Trump’s military attack on Iran.

For those that actually want real information - Dems in House and Senate have already written a war powers resolution for Iran - but you know, Americans gave GOP majority in both chambers so it wasn’t brought up for vote yet.

This seems like a good time to remind voters that just 20 Republican senators could end this global nightmare today if they took their oaths seriously.

Stop blaming Democrats.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

There is no coherent plan for regime change because that's not the goal. What they want is a perennial bad-guy punching bag they can go hit every few months whenever they want in perpetuity.

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.

Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

If you are an elected official that opposes military strikes on Iran, the head of CBS News will clap back at you. Will be interesting to see if she does this for other objectors, or just Muslim politicians, but it does raise the question how much her views of the Middle East shape the news.

No one wants to hear that <checks notes> Iran currently has a more active & functional parliament than the United States of Just This One Guy Can Do Whatever He Wants Because No One In Congress Who Swore Oaths Will Do Their Damn Jobs

He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

a gentle reminder that it was America who made Iran the way it is today. the CIA helped overthrow the prime minister and helped install the repressive regime to secure Iran’s oil and supplied them with weaponry right up until the hostage crisis, basically.

If you are worried about a terrorist incident from a sleeper cell, you can rest easy knowing Kash Patel and Seb Gorka are on the job.
