You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.

The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

DOJ Examined Men in Epstein’s Orbit Accused of Sex Crimes. None Was Charged. Several women told investigators after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death that they were sexually abused by his associates. The Justice Department has said the files include unverified allegations.

Pope Leo XIV ! @Pontifex X.com I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue. 7:33 AM • 3/1/26 • 39K Views 175 L> 455 • 1.9K 953 Relevant v View quotes > Pope Leo XIV & @Pontifex • 18m .... Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

The attack and killing of Iran’s supreme leader is a grave violation of Iran’s sovereignty and security. It tramples on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and basic norms in international relations. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns it. We urge for an immediate stop to the military operations, no further escalation of the tense situation and joint effort to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East and the world at large.

Beijing:

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Well when you put it THAT way.

Netanyahu: “We are conducting a campaign in which we are deploying the full power of the IDF like never before to secure our existence and our future.
Joint efforts with the US allow us to do what I have been striving for over 40 y”

Israel intends to "intensify" strikes on Iran in the coming days

This is how Trump’s ambassador to the UN responded to news that three U.S. service members were killed and multiple others injured

Listen this is some next level trolling.

It’s not just that Charlie Kirk is up there. It’s who he’s with.

Catherine Beecher, while an advocate for women’s education, also fiercely opposed women’s suffrage and wanted women’s political power to be mostly constrained to their role as mothers.

NYT: “.. the president capped an extraordinary day of U.S. aggression abroad by attending a glitzy fund-raising dinner at his club ..

.. a striking departure from how other presidents have handled the gravity of war.”

Major Update: Americans Do not Approve of Iran Strikes, Trump Administration Reasoning for Strikes Questioned by Senators, Mass Shootings Strike America Good afternoon, everyone.

Only one in four Americans approve of Trump’s strikes in Iran.

Senior Senator says no evidence Iran planned to strike first.

Republican says he has no evidence Iran was close to nuclear weapon

Mass shootings strike Texas and Ohio

Charlie Kirk banner hung on Department of Education building in DC

Tulsi Gabbard: "A war with Iran would make the war in Iraq look like a cakewalk. The devastation and the costs would be far greater than anything we've ever experienced before."

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

😕

A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.

A mad king’s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

My instant reaction at 3 a.m. yesterday was not whether Khamenei would be killed or oil prices or anything else but this

This undeclared, unexplained war is illegal. Full stop

28 hours later, it is still the worse abuse of power in U.S. history. Impeach

My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.

How fast could the Iran strikes hit your local gas prices?
Oil markets resume Monday.
By late afternoon, wholesale (rack) prices adjust.
Stations buying after ~6pm local may pay what markets assess.
Some pumps could start moving Monday night, others within 24–48 hours.

AP: “.. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told the Al Jazeera network that a new supreme leader will be chosen in ‘one or two days.’”

Read the @financialtimes.com Economics editor, Sam Fleming's analysis of what the impact the war in Iran will have on the global economy
www.ft.com/content/31bf...

Americans live in a country where the leader can order the murder of anyone he wants, and doesn’t even need to explain why. The rule of law is gone. Republicans killed it.

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”

Seems to be the pattern…

“The point is that both Hitler and Stalin held out promises of stability in order to hide their intention of creating a state of permanent instability.”

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."
