Possible #USA Hungary & Belarus, Russia plan? Lukashenko/Belarus says Orban/Hungary will reject electoral defeat and take arms against Ukraine, of which 🇺🇸 Cabinet supports & campaigns for. Belarus says it will join. #Trump must be asked. #Rubio #congress #warpowers
In this case, though, following the #Constitution would have brought an even more basic benefit: Before it made its argument to the #Congress & the people, the admin would have had to figure out its objectives & how it planned to attain them.
The White House would have had to think through the […]
Ending wars takes honesty, diplomacy, and Congress doing its job. More weeks of “just trust me” isn’t enough. Demand oversight. Demand peace. ✊🕊️

We are alienating our allies with the shameful lack of endgame goals for Trump's #IranWar
There's a reason #Congress is supposed to hold #WarPowers - to prevent poorly planned wars with no strategy for the aftermath of military operations.

“You’re SUPPOSED to get approval.”

Day 28.
That not an accusation.
That’s a confession.

Such a mission would expose #US personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones & missiles, ground fire & IEDs. It was unclear Saturday whether #Trump would approve all, some or none of the #Pentagon’s plans.
The Trump admin in recent days has vacillated between declaring that the […]

…the #Pentagon is seeking >$200 billion from #Congress to fund the #war in #Iran, an enormous ask that has already run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict. #Hegseth, when asked about that reporting, said last week that the final budget request “could move.”
