The war with Iran is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

It’s also ILLEGAL under the 1973 WPA.

Here’s how much of the $300 billion will come from American taxpayers: The U.S. will give foreign aid, military assistance, tariff exemptions, etc to countries that will in turn provide money to Iran.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

Every poll shows that from the most conservative Republicans to the most progressive Democrats, Americans want the Social Security shortfallsolved on the revenue side. Not with a single penny of benefit cuts.

@SenWhitehouse

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

A leading antitrust expert and professor just gave Trump’s enforcers an F—they’re making decisions based on political influence, not what’s best for consumers.

Trump's antitrust policies mean higher prices and fewer choices for Americans.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

A reminder that Trump unlawfully took us to war with Iran without congressional authorization as the Constitution requires.

Trump is shredding the Constitution and violating the law regardless of whether any War Powers Resolution vote passes or fails—or even happens at all.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

More than 100 former judges have filed an ethics complaint against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging he has used the Justice Department to advance Donald Trump’s personal and political interests.

This is not a routine bar complaint.

Gavin Newsom is right. Not only is the SAVE Act a voter suppression bill, but if passed, it would give the loathsome piece of shit complete control of voter rolls, where he'd be able to delete registered Democratic voters. America has never faced an enemy as dangerous as Trump.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The Iran War Powers Resolution, H.Con.Res. 86, passed the Senate last night. I was the only House Republican to cosponsor this WPR.

The American people want to end the Iran war, and both chambers of Congress have finally voted to end it.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

More than 100 former federal and state judges are demanding an ethics investigation into Todd Blanche for allegedly abusing his Justice Department authority for political retaliation. They say his actions violated his oath of office and undermined the integrity of federal prosecutions. The complaint argues that Blanche’s conduct represents a serious threat to the rule of law and requires formal disciplinary review.
If the New York Bar finds the allegations valid, Todd Blanche could face anything from formal sanctions to a full suspension of his law license, and in the most serious scenario he could be disbarred entirely. It wouldn’t mean jail time, but it would be a career‑ending outcome for a lawyer.

NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper is calling on Trump to personally pay back taxpayers for the millions he spent revamping the Reflecting Pool, now a cesspool of algae + chunks of blue sealant.

“This was not a result of vandalism but your admin’s incompetence." https://t.co/nRuG6bQLXR

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

GOP senators are now “‘yelling’”
at @realDonaldTrump.

Let me offer a helpful suggestion to Republicans:

Why don't you save your breath and just impeach and remove the motherf*cker?

Because you’re gonna have to do it at some point soon—it will be either you or him.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@SenGaryPeters to Postmaster General: "States control their own elections. That's pretty clear in the Constitution. An effort by this administration to nationalize elections and have the federal government having this information is incredibly dangerous precedent."

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

HERO: U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan just killed the regime's voter-purge machine. She ruled they broke 3 federal laws and were "knowingly" trampling on privacy rights to steal November.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

Postmaster General David Steiner's admission conflicted with a rule the USPS adopted under his watch last year.

The rule said the agency “does not administer elections, establish the rules or deadlines that govern elections, or determine whether or how election jurisdictions utilize the mail.”

[Libertarians against Trump @jeffersonation1]

Stop telling me to vote third party in the midterms.

Not this time.

The priority is removing power from this corrupt, pedo protecting, authoritarian, war-hungry administration. That means helping Democrats win enough seats to investigate, block, expose and impeach these people.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Democrats just helped pass a War Powers Resolution that will constrain Donald Trump's ability to wage war in Iran. This is amazing.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

ICYMI: We won in our case suing the Trump admin over its unlawful database of millions of Americans' personal info that enabled baseless investigations and voter purges. A federal judge ordered that it be shut down: https://t.co/3D1yOi0vxL

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “In between Trump’s agents killing Renee Good and then killing Alex Pretti in the streets of Minneapolis…Trump’s DOJ got subpoenas to basically raid the offices of most of the major Democratic officials in the state of Minnesota and in the Twin Cities. Well today, a Republican appointed federal judge shot those down, saying in his ruling that there was ‘no doubt’ those subpoenas were issued ‘to harass’ Trump’s political opponents. The ruling said: ‘On the one hand the evidence that the challenged subpoenas were issued for unlawful reasons is overwhelming. On the other hand..DOJ has struggled without success to identify a single plausible investigatory justification for the subpoenas.’ And so those Trump administration DOJ subpoenas were thrown out.”😳
