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!

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

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

i hate war. i cry tears for the innocent dead. there's no need for any of what's happening. there's no proper consequences nor accountability. the citizens of neither the aggressors nor the victim states want this. the false narratives of "strong men" and preemptive strikes for peace are so hollow.

Climate change supercharged Iberian Peninsula’s destructive storms A hotter Atlantic ocean contributed to unusually powerful downpours, scientists said.

🌧️ Climate change is a real and present danger for the lives of millions - if not billions - across the globe.

We need decisive, multilateral cooperation, and strong international institutions to deal with this challenge as one.

I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.

For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Many non-citizens have the right to vote. It surprises me that so many people don’t know this.

The supreme court has struck a blow to Trump’s corruption machine | David Sirota The supreme court has deferred to executive power for decades. Its decision on tariffs is a long-overdue warning

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Donald Trump has been able to weaponise tariffs by citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act that allows a president to β€œregulate … importation”.

πŸ’Έ Trump has spent his second term adjusting trade policy in bespoke ways that just so happen to reward political allies and donors.

Baffling, so much of what he orders is illegal,, tariffs and killing fishermen,ordering war, kidnapping presidents from their countries and yet your legal system just shrugs. Your politicians nod and the people say well just you wait until the mid-terms. Baffling

Opinion | There is no reason to think this war with Iran is necessary Trump criticized the Iraq War. Now he’s making the same mistakes.

JD Vance said there is β€œno chance” the US would be drawn into a lengthy war. But isn’t that what Bush thought before Iraq & LBJ before Vietnam? Wars are risky & unpredictable.The US should engage in them only if it absolutely has to. There is no reason to think this war is necessary. wapo.st/4seF5K1
