Remember the Constitution? Trump doesn't. Or the War Powers Act? Trump doesn't. But we should, as @repmcgovern.bsky.social explains. And it's more than just this War.
The Trump Regime all but rejects the Separation of Powers.

The Trump Regime is famous for failing to understand the effects of their actions (tariffs, FBI/DOJ purges, DOGE). This War could very well accelerate Nuclear Proliferation around the world. @joecirin.bsky.social on this nightmare scenario.

"Trump will lose his battle to rewrite history. As soon as he's gone, historians will go back to telling the truth. That will include painting Trump as the most dishonest, disgusting, hateful, ignorant, egomaniacal, gold-digging, president in history. "

The good news: It’s more and more likely that the Democrats will win elections that give them control of the House and possibly the Senate. The bad news: as Trump becomes convinced of that outcome, his efforts to rig the election will only get worse.

'If the Post is, in fact, losing $100 million a year, Bezos could absorb those losses for five years - for what he makes in a single week. It's not that Bezos can't afford the Post anymore, he just doesn't care. He'd rather suck up to Donald Trump.'
