Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis Congress's refusal to do its job is now the world's problem.

New in PN: Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis

"Unless and until the GOP acknowledges that the country is in the grip of a madman bent on consolidating all constitutional power in him and him alone, Trump is free to singlehandedly decide to go to war. That's not how it's supposed to work."

Analysis: The rationale for striking Iran was already a mess. Trump just made it worse. | CNN Politics The Trump administration’s stated justifications for going to war with Iran were already a jumbled and self-contradictory mess before the president’s latest comments Tuesday.

Where are we? A president clearly in mental decline, a compliant Congress afraid to exercise there oversight responsibilities when the useful idiot starts a war. When I served, it never occurred to me that I would ever have to question an order.

The thrill Trump gets from having people blow up & kill other people, and from watching other people fight at UFC, comes from deep insecurity rooted in his personal cowardice. It makes him feel tough. It makes him feel adequate. Things he has never been but always wanted to be.

"This is what happens when you trust a real doctor," he said. "I should have just sent the kid to my new Surgeon General."

Killing a Dictator Isn’t a Strategy The Iranian regime has killed Americans and fueled chaos across the Middle East for decades. But if the United States is going to war, the American people deserve a clear objective and a plan for what

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

At least 153 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says Iran has blamed the US and Israel for the strike; the US is looking into reports of the incident, while the IDF says it is "not aware" of operations in the area.

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

The use of military force to oust a dictatorship so a sovereign people can realize self-determination is at least justifiable, if not usually practical

Trumpism is not that. It’s the use of military force to kill or abduct individual leaders & intimidate governments into becoming client states

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

So I guess we’re back to the same old story of the WMD’s that didn’t exist…

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

War president!!!

The goons in this administration will try everything - legal and otherwise - to prevent people from voting.

This makes me feel somewhat better. Midterm elections cannot be postponed by the president alone, even during wartime. Under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to change federal election dates through new legislation.

Here we are watching military action unfold without a clear congressional vote.
If we are risking American lives and destabilizing an entire region, the American people deserve more than unilateral executive action.
The founders separated powers for a reason!

I hate it when he talks…

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran:
it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law
