Reminder:

White House's "War Powers Report" to Congress for attack on Iran.⬇️

2. No reference to wellbeing/protection of Iranian people.

Federal judges who've ruled against Trump administration denounce threats against themselves, their families Federal judges say criticism from President Trump can put their safety at risk. The White House says the president "understands the dangers of political violence."

"The president has frequently railed against judges when they rule against him. What often happens next is a barrage of violent threats from his followers against those judges. We spoke with 26 federal judges– 9 Democratic appointees, 17 Republican, both sitting and retired."

“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.”
