We are now 46 days into this war.
More than 50,000 American troops are in the Middle East, per the Pentagon’s own figures, including 2,200 Marines from Camp Pendleton.

I’m praying for every American in uniform serving today, especially the men and women now being deployed to the Middle East. They deserve our full support and full honesty from our government.
That includes a defined mission, a clear objective, and a path home.
Trump didn’t consult Congress before the bombs fell. He notified some. There is a difference, and it matters enormously.
We are spending American lives and treasure in an unauthorized war of choice, and Congress has yet to do its job.
The Founders divided war powers to prevent exactly this.
The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war.
Every Republican citing the 60-day clock as Trump’s legal cover either hasn't read the War Powers Act or is hoping you haven’t. The law only permits unilateral presidential military hostilities in response to an attack on the US, and this war began with us striking Iran, not the other way around.
One of the worst takes I’ve heard since this war started is that somehow Congress didn’t need to be consulted during the first 60 days.
That’s not what the War Powers Act says.
That’s not what the Constitution says.
That’s not what any serious legal scholar says.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

There are kids who live near these sites.
There are wells that draw from these aquifers.
There are rivers that run past these plants into communities that have no idea this rule even exists.
The cost savings go to the coal companies. The risk is shifted to everyone else.
This follows the EPA already moving to roll back key mercury emission limits from coal plants earlier this year. It’s a clear pattern of putting coal industry interests ahead of public health protections.
The proposal scales back cleanup requirements for coal properties near water sources, eases groundwater monitoring, and makes it easier to repurpose coal ash in cement and structural fill.
Lost in the news the past few days is the Trump administration proposing to weaken rules that limit how coal companies handle toxic waste that can reach groundwater.
The new rule would let states grant exemptions from standards that keep contaminants like mercury & lead away from your water supply.
Never apologize or admit fault.
And count on your supporters to blindly run interference.
At some point, the people who have spent an entire decade giving this man the benefit of the doubt have to ask themselves a hard question: when will you finally admit you’ve been conned all along?
Say something outrageous.
Watch the backlash.
Then claim you were joking, misunderstood, or that critics are just looking for something to be mad about.
Then he deleted it and claimed he thought it depicted him as a “doctor.”
Ask yourself honestly: do you believe that?
This is his pattern now for a decade.
Let’s get this straight.
Trump posted an AI image of himself robed just like Jesus, white with a red sash, laying hands on a sick man as followers looked on in reverence, complete with heavenly light, ascension, and eagles.
It is a high bar, but it creates the one thing this president cannot tolerate: accountability.
No president should be able to place his entire inner circle above the law. The pardon power exists to deliver justice, not to bury it.

Congress must act. The Pardon Integrity Act would give Congress the ability to reject a pardon with a two-thirds supermajority vote.
He is repeatedly promising his White House staff pardons before he leaves office, especially when they worry about facing prosecution or congressional investigations.
He is offering a guarantee: carry out my agenda without hesitation, and I will make sure you never face consequences.
These are transactions, not acts of mercy.
But now he's going further.
