Congress has the power to stop this.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

and secret meetings taking place. Numerous talking heads, including Republicans and retired military officers, are speaking out and sounding the alarm. MS NOW has had excellent coverage following Trump's bizarre, unhinged speech this afternoon. The level of concern is palpable and the consensus is that he is not in his right mind and must be stopped.

We are living in frightening times, friends.
