President Trump’s decision to order strikes in Iran is just the latest example of a U.S. president taking military action without first seeking congressional approval. Experts tell NBC News’ Gary Grumbach that there’s little lawmakers and courts can do about it.

Interesting week to announce the policy… almost like there’s a big political event coming up & a need to appeal to lost supporters

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Yr 13 Presidential power... US Presidents are often constrained by events beyond their control... Trump looks increasingly likely to be constrained by events of his own making. One would naturally expect Pierre Poilievre to be a close ally of Trump but this speech is savage!

How Gerrymandering and Fair Maps Affected the Battle for the House
Four takeaways on how voting maps made the difference in a tight fight for the House in 2024.
Competition in 2024 House races was scarce, with only 37 districts decided by 5 or fewer percentage points. For the most part, it’s because of gerrymandering.
