It's all chest-thumping and zero answers.
If Trump believes these strikes are somehow justifiable, he needs to make his case to Congress and ask for authorization. That's not what's happening.

It wasn't carrying fentanyl.

Support Ukraine! Russia is not our ally. Putin is not our friend. Ukraine has fought Russian aggression for years and we are the beneficiaries.
Kaja Kallas: we have to be really clear-eyed. We have one aggressor and one victim. And the one that needs security guarantees is Ukraine, not Russia.
In last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries, some as many as three or four times. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia

Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027.
With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.
