Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress.
@RepThomasMassie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.
This is similar to what the US Government under Bush 41 did in Panama in 1989: invade and remove former Manuel Noriega from power, then brought him to the US to stand trial on drug trafficking.

Really want to hear what @BretWeinstein and @HeatherEHeying think of the gender EO. Love that it defines sex by gametes, the administration must be full of @thedarkhorsepod listeners
