In today’s #MustRead, Stephen Pomper argues Trump’s unilateral strikes on Iran didn’t happen in a vacuum. Years of bipartisan legal maneuvering weakened Congress’s war powers, leaving one president with sweeping authority to wage war with little oversight. ⬇️

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.

I’m honored to earn the support of @fp4america.bsky.social. When we train together, deploy together, and stand together, we are stronger and safer. In Congress, I’ll fight to strengthen those partnerships and make sure America continues to lead with strength and integrity.

A tariff that expires in 150 days isn’t a long-run industrial policy. Firms invest on multi-year horizons. If the policy is temporary, the investment response will be, too: mostly none.
