Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis Congress's refusal to do its job is now the world's problem.

New in PN: Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis

"Unless and until the GOP acknowledges that the country is in the grip of a madman bent on consolidating all constitutional power in him and him alone, Trump is free to singlehandedly decide to go to war. That's not how it's supposed to work."

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Excuse me? What a callous dipshit.

😲

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."

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

Life imitates art.

29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.

No caption needed.😒

Hell yes 🙌 👏

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

DOJ to Review Whether Epstein Files About Trump Were Improperly Withheld The Justice Department didn’t release notes from several interviews a woman gave to FBI agents in 2019.

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child

The first US Cabinet happened in 1789.

A reminder that fake voter fraud and false claims of election rigging were always the plan. Here’s a direct message from Assange to Don Jr way back in 2016.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

BREAKING

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

It’s not leadership anymore it’s a circus, and everyone’s fighting for center ring.

This is terrific 👏

James Talarico: What would Jesus do about a tax system that benefits the rich over the poor?

Would he stay in his room and pray? Or would he walk into the seat of power and flip over the tables of injustice?

We Christians are called to challenge the systems that make charity necessary.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

Today at 11 a.m. at Whittier Park in Minneapolis, join the “ICE Out of MN” rally. The Trump administration says it has been winding down operations, but that’s far from true.

Look at the smug look on Trump’s Treasury Secretary’s face as he says the American people are never getting their money back from these illegal tariffs.

They stole your money. They’re laughing about it. And they think there will be no consequences.

That should tell you everything.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

England is arresting people and the White House press isn’t even asking questions about Epstein.
