#LimitsToTrumpPower
"But in this era of judicial deference to executive authority, Congress’ power to limit spending remains largely unchallenged, even by some of the most hardline proponents of presidential authority, such as U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts,” according to The Lever.

I subscribe to Responsible Statecraft, Foreign Affairs, CNAS, World Affair Council, Haaretz, etc. I prefer independent media. I also watch experts in YouTube video presentations discuss the implications of these feckless acts by the current admin. This is the worst period of crises in my lifetime.

The U.S. and Israel are racing to destroy Iran’s ballistic missiles, but it is likely that Iran has many in reserve to deliver the final blow, which is the destruction of desalination plants, without which the Gulf states cannot survive. No water, no state.

Trump’s Assault on Higher Education Has Hit a Snag Universities and their allies have been able to block many, if not most, of the White House’s moves in court.

#ResearchDefunded The SCOTUS allowed the administration to cut nearly $4 billion in funding to USAID. This caused Johns Hopkins to lose over $800 million in grants & lay off 2,200 employees. The UC system has lost $170 million in grants that are still suspended. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We are a satellite nation of #Russia and #Israel now. Among other criminal regimes.

Of course we’re behaving like them.

& it’s almost as if some of us fucking told you so.

War criminals run the world.

Stop acting shocked.

They’re just being themselves.

The Iranian people are now rallying around their new leader & Arabs are looking to China, India, & Russia as alternatives to the U.S. Am. endangers their tourism & energy hegemony.

Israeli intends to break Iran into a failed state of divided groups they can control. This war is costing the US hundreds of wounded military personnel, billions of dollars, distrust among our allies, economic uncertainty, & toxins being released into the environment. It is not worth it. #Enough

Trump has spent more in 10 days on his reckless war in Iran than America spends in two years on community health centers providing medical care for low-income and uninsured Americans.

Our priorities are out of whack in this country.
