Dombrowski also could have just kept estevez who pitched well for the Philled rather than sign Romano coming off elbow surgery and hope he would rebound. Cost them Abel and Tait. #phillies

This is not to justify, either on legal or policy grounds, the Iran strike, but there's a lot of misleading commentary on this site that some sort of unprecedented dictatorial red line was crossed tonight. Of all of Trump's executive power aggrandizement, this has the most bipartisan precedent.
Some Post-WWII uses of force without Congressional approval:
Air or missile strikes: Libya (1986), Yugoslavia (1995,1999), Libya (2011), Syria (2017), Iran (Solemani Assassination 2020)
Troops: Dominican Republic (1965), Grenada (1983), Panama (1989), Somalia (1992/1993), Haiti (1994) 2)

This is Max. He snuck out in the middle of the night and walked 5 miles to get a breakfast burrito from a store that gave him one once. They hadn't opened yet when he got there, but Max was found the next morning thanks to his GPS collar patiently waiting outside for his well-earned snack. 14/10
