Jeffries: The reason the Constitution—and the wisdom of the framers—gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war and authorize military force is so there can be an informed public debate.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

We should all be saluting the Senate Parliamentarian who is defending the rules vs. lawless, rapacious Senate R's. Knocking out a host of reprehensible policy items that do not comply with reconcilliation rules. It is not an easy task. This is what it means to take responsibility for our democracy.

The National Park Service is already underfunded and understaffed. To put its budget on the chopping block as we continue to see a rise in visitors at parks across the county is reckless and thoughtless. It's the worst idea for "America's Best Idea."

I tell my students: Budget math isn't about arithmetic. Budgets are statements of values, and behind every number is a choice about who and what we value. So as you evaluate the Republican budget bill, ask yourself: Does it give voice to your values?

"A day after President Trump declared that Iran’s nuclear program had been “completely and totally obliterated” by American bunker-busting bombs and a barrage of missiles..." i once again find myself saying: a society that would like to keep functioning must discourage baldfaced lying

The homeland threat is higher, though Iran will more likely focus its efforts on American interests abroad. Still, the Department of Homeland Security has focused almost exclusively on ICE deportation efforts and has let our cybersecurity and counterterrorism efforts eviscerate. @cnn.com

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

I want to be very clear that you should be horrified the level of influence Fox News has during trump presidencies on warmaking decisions. The network took it upon itself to help trump pick targets in the first term, when Fox was pushing him to bomb Syria

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

Of course. If you were actually serious about destroying Iran’s nuclear program, you would have dropped the MOPs on Fordow with complete tactical surprise—without endlessly telegraphing for weeks what you might do and putting on a worldwide TV show about it.

From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading. Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind." Don't let their lies dominate the narrative. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

New in PN: Trump’s reckless Iran strikes could backfire spectacularly "America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public. Trump has recklessly endangered the country and world. It’s not much consolation that he may also have endangered himself."

The best way to root out fraud, waste, and abuse is to pass 12 appropriations bills. Congress must get back to funding the government as intended to ensure that your tax dollars are well-spent.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Iran coordinated their attack on Al Udeid in advance. That’s good news, as long as Trump accepts the off ramp. Let Iran claim the victory at home and get back to negotiating.
