I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?
An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

This is a blatant, deeply alarming attempt to shut down lawful oversight of the Trump administration's wildly illegal conduct, and part of an escalating authoritarian crackdown on political dissent. We stand with Rep. McIver against this baseless persecution.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

This week, we’re asking you to plan a visit to your closest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trump’s lawless overreach. The ask will be slightly different if your senator is a Democrat or Republican. We put together a toolkit with everything you need: indivisi.org/choosetofight

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.
