It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

It hurts me, deep down in the depths of my soul to know this is absolutely true
"Effective secretaries empower senior military leaders to provide candid advice. They expect disagreement. They understand that professional tension is not insubordination." Sure would be nice to have one right now.
It Was a Bad Year for the American Military

Start talking to the teens in your life that will be 18 by midterms & get them registered early! Help a friend, family member, or co-worker to get registered. Offer rides to people who want to vote in person. We all need to work together so we can regain control of the house & senate
