Three American troops were killed in Kuwait Sunday, two days after Donald Trump started a war he never asked Congress to authorize.
Eight countries are now involved. The FBI is investigating a mass shooting in Austin as terrorism tied to the attack. Protesters breached the U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, and security forces killed at least ten of them. Two days in, the cost is landing on Americans at home and overseas.
Trump told Fox News the war would take four weeks or less. U.S. intelligence agencies said Iran was months from a nuclear weapon, not the two weeks he used to justify the bombings. He’s promising a quick war without Congress ever voting to start one.
Call your representatives and demand they invoke the War Powers Act before this continues spreading.
