Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

The United States should not wage war against Iran.
Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
This is a horrific war of choice.

It’s journalistic malpractice not to remind America that Trump also brought us to the brink of catastrophe with Iran in 2020 by assassinating—in a plot he drafted with Netanyahu—the second-most popular Iranian as he was on his way to a PEACE SUMMIT Trump’s Saudi business associates had lured him to.
