Just a heads up: if we are in fact at war, the authorities Trump has been using — many/most of which are delegated wartime authorities — will only expand and be given more deference by the courts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Declaring war isn't like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Dropping bombs on a sovereign country is an "act of war." The mental gymnastics people do to forgive anything Trump does is insane. Some thoughts: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Rachel Maddow: “If Trump wasn’t getting the intelligence that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon from the intelligence community… who is he getting it from? Israel?” The right question. And pretty obviously the right answer.

Trump just declared war on Iran unilaterally in a direct violation of the Constitution. The Republicans in Congress will just roll over and Fox News will cover his ass.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was *not* about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

Voting is legal voter suppression. For every Brown Pants Reagan 'Democrat' there's a Brown Shirt vote going unsuppressed in Republican primaries.

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

Medical debt isn’t a personal shortcoming—"it is the result of decades of policy failure and, frankly, sabotage." A broken insurance market and state refusal to expand Medicaid have left millions, especially Black and Hispanic Americans, vulnerable. rooseveltinstitute.org/public...

Mr. Trump may have complete and total control over the skies of Iran. Everything else he attempts is complete physical, verbal or policy incontinence.

Trump could have celebrated the Army's 250th anniversary with respect and recognition, but instead he threw a $45 million parade for his birthday. On top of firing thousands of veterans and cutting funds for military housing, Trump is once again showing fundamental disrespect.
