This President has a pattern of creating and escalating combustible situations and then forcing communities to deal with the fallout.
Rochester will not be treated as a staging ground for this administration’s reckless political agenda.
Here's what we know so far:
The Trump administration is moving forward in secret, with no notice, no public process, and no transparency. This is completely inappropriate and flat-out unacceptable.

Chuck, this is the same response as with Venezuela.
Unless Congress does their job and rein in Trump, what good are you?
As a New York voter and registered Democrat, I really would have liked to see the word "oppose" in here. And it's really disappointing not to.
Also not mentioned: civilian casualties, like the girls killed in Minab.
Do better, Senator.
Trump: The lives of American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties — that often happens in war.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.
Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.
What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
Rallying around the flag means rallying around the Constitution, not the unscrupulous leaders who trample upon it.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

This is an excellent piece by Michael Wood—and, for what it’s worth, captures as well as anything I’ve read my “strange mixture” of reactions and thoughts.
open.substack.com/pub/michaelw...
Trump hasn't gone to Congress for authorization to attack Iran. He hasn't explained the necessity or urgency of preemptive action by us. I'd very much like to see regime change in Iran, but Trump hasn't explained how we intend to help achieve that goal.
Congress: Just say No.
Rep Pat Ryan (D-NY): Trump “hasn’t explained his goals.
He hasn't told you what it will cost – both in our tax dollars and (God forbid) our kids coming home in flag-draped coffins”
Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

Rep Jim Himes (D-CT), top Democrat on House Intelligence Committee:
“Everything I have heard from the Administration before and after these strikes on Iran confirms this is a war of choice with no strategic endgame…”
America voted for lower costs, not forever wars.
My statement:
“The presumption created by the surrounding evidence is that this war could very well be about (1) subverting US democracy, (2) enriching the president, or both. These presumptions, while not proof, provide solid lines of inquiry as we learn more about the war.”

What if a nation's legislature cedes its responsibilities to an executive? Sound familiar? In March of 1933 the Reichstag enacted a statute that gave the German cabinet, and as a result gave the new chancellor—a man named Hitler—emergency powers to override the Weimar Constitution.
