3) Under city’s #HomeRuleAct, #president can take over #DC #police for up to 30 days by declaring “special conditions of an #emergency nature exist.” After that time, police would revert to local control unless #Congress passes a law allow a longer period of federal control. #trump has been functioning without #congressional #oversight since Jan 2025. There is no #congressional engagement #military #militarization #EpsteinFiles #coverup #GhislaineMaxwell

#FBI Director #KashPatel agreed to join search for #Texas #Democratic #lawmakers who left state to protest new #congressional #maps. Texas #Republicans trying to bring Democrats back so there are enough lawmakers on the floor for a #quorum, which would enable them to vote on new #congressional maps to increase #GOP advantage in state. Texas requires 2/3 of the House or 100 of 150 representatives to be present for a #quorum. #Bomb #threats were made against TX Dem lawmakers who fled to #Illinois

Rep. #HakeemJeffries is a House hero.

It’s now nearly 7 1/2 hours into his self-described Sweet Time, a possibly record breaking #Congressional speech presently enabling debate to continue in other rooms.

A bit behind on hearing him start, I briefly suspected he was picking a strange time to Come Out; when of course he was reading the words of an American woman who could lose HER husband without the #healthcare safety net we have enjoyed since the Obama victory.

But people are gonna’ die.

Trump’s effort, combined thrust of his other #constitutional transgressions, uniquely dangerous. No indication he gave any thought to seeking #congressional #authorization. As self-concerned, immature a commander-in-chief as country has had, he likely acted, as always, out of crass self-interest. #Israel surprisingly successful #bombardment of last week put him in position to be a winner by finishing off the job—very possibly the only thing that was in his #lizard #brain. harrylitman.substack.com/p/tru

I do have question:

If it is true that only #Congress can authorize
one (treacherous) military attack on another #Nation...

Why did the #U.S. #Army went bombing #Iran >without an authorization from #Congress?

Are there any other #legal #loopholes that allow the 'administration' to avoid #congressional oversight?

Or did #Trup commit an illegal act by ordering the bombing?
Or did the #military commit an illegal act by obeying Trump?
Or as always in the USA ... >a "yes and no'

Charming Malcontent

Rogue despot declares war without #Congressional approval.
It's been nice knowing you #Murrica
Y'all feeling great yet?

President Donald Trump speaks from the East Room of the White House in Washington, Saturday, June 21, 2025, after the U.S. military struck three Iranian nuclear and military sites, directly joining Israel's effort to decapitate the country's nuclear program, as Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth listen.

AP News · US strikes 3 Iranian nuclear sites, inserting itself into Israel's war with IranThe United States has attacked three sites in Iran, inserting itself into Israel’s war aimed at destroying the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe that prompted fears of a wider regional conflict. Addressing the nation from the White House, President Donald Trump asserted that Iran’s key nuclear sites were “completely and fully obliterated.” There was no independent damage assessment. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirmed that attacks took place on its Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz sites, but it insisted that its nuclear program will not be stopped.
