"The deadline has arrived and the executive branch’s answer is silence. ... Today is the day. The administration has no legal authority to continue this war under the statute as written. It plans to continue anyway." #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /2

"Trump’s second Iran war becomes Illegal May 1. Contrary to claims by the New York Times, U.S. law doesn’t grant Trump authority to 'give himself an extension' on a war already illegal under international law. His Iran war becomes illegal on May 1." ~ Seth Abramson #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /3 https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/trumps-second-iran-war-becomes-illegal

"Today is May 1. Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, President Trump’s authority to continue military operations in Iran without congressional authorization expires today. As of 0600 EST this morning, the administration has filed nothing — no authorization request, no 30-day extension certification, no supplemental appropriations." ~ Rudy Martinez #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #WarPowers #Congress /1 https://www.restoftheworldreport.com/p/the-rest-of-the-world-report-may

The #House voted 214 to 213 against bringing the #WarPowers resolution to the floor, handing Republican leaders a procedural “victory” & preserving the broad discretion they have ceded to #Trump to direct the #US #military campaign in the #MiddleEast. The 1 vote margin signaled continuing unease in #Congress as the #war nears its 8th week with no endgame, & the approach of the #midterms in which high #gas #prices threaten to sour voters on #Republicans fighting to keep their majorities. #law

#FactCheck #TrumpLies #Trump claimed #Iran is building missiles that could soon hit the #US. Sources say that’s not backed up by US #intelligence. When Trump addressed the nation Tuesday night, he claimed that Iran is “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.” That assertion is not backed up by US intelligence, sources told CNN. #warmonger #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #MiddleEast https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/27/politics/iran-missiles-trump-intelligence-nuclear

Sen. #JeanneShaheen (D-NH)∶ It's been reported that the #oil sold for $500 million & $300 million went to the Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million? #MarcoRubio∶ It's still sitting in the account is my understanding. Shaheen∶ The account in #Qatar? Rubio∶ Yes. #geopolitics #law #Congress #WarPowers #criminal #corruption #Trump #Venezuela #oil #sovereignty #theft #piracy #InternationalLaw
