OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war

So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money? Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission. But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it. I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”

Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement

Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:

Joe, he would love to be surrounded by all those men.

He was getting impatient and couldn't wait for Cuba

Please put this quote in the history books.

“I think the war is very complete, pretty much." - Donald J Trump

Perhaps if the world didn't consistently elect a bunch of egotistical dickbags, we might have a shot at having a relatively peaceful existence

Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents.

Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.

Where do we sign up?

And let’s be honest, we’re flexible on the “reopen the Strait of Hormuz” part.

You've got to be a special kind of stupid to support using your tax dollars to increase your gasoline prices...

Jake Lang, the white supremacist leader of this violent rally, was pardoned by Trump after participating in January 6th.

Imagine if Democrats had pardoned someone who then led a violent attack on Republican mayors?

It'd be 24-7 news. Our media institutions all bend the knee to the right-wing.

Oh I definitely agree you are better off reporting to licensing agency than police.

Exclusive | Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before his body was found — and made mysterious deposit days before his suicide: DOJ Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his suicide.

Hmm who do we know that pays hush money...

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

Impressive work from the WSJ.

Unfortunately, Megyn, you and millions of other idiots found the conman pedophile felon insurrectionist to be more relatable than a black woman.

Have the day you voted for.

Just heard from a friend in Tehran who says reality is even worse than the pictures. When they hit the depot in Aghdasiyeh, he could hear and feel it from 15km away.

He says if he could reach internet he’d say: “today is the day the world shall end, as the scripture has foretold,” he says.

You don't need proof to file a complaint. You can share what you know and they can investigate

ZETEO: “Donald Trump is much closer to sending US troops to invade Iran than people realize.”

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

State regulators that issue the licenses

Anyone else see Trump at the Shield of Americas summit? What is going on? He looks like he had been embalmed.

Every day it seems this becomes more likely...

I think Trump actually believes he might be able to make Marco Rubio the new leader.

The Burden That Should Not Be Theirs: How Congress Turned the Military into the Last Check on Illegal War Congress has unintentionally shifted the burden of preventing an unconstitutional war squarely onto the military. By failing to exercise its war powers,

A dangerous expectation is growing in Washington: that the military will stop unconstitutional wars if Congress won’t. A law professor and retired Air Force officer weighs in.

A source from Iranian Kurdish opposition group Komala of the Toilers of Kurdistan told Rudaw that they dismiss media reports claiming the group launched a ground offensive into western Iran. Several local journalists also confirm the reports of an ongoing offensive are untrue. #Iran
