Let’s be clear: gambling on nuclear war or military operations where American service members’ lives are on the line is morally bankrupt.

This is completely insane.
Polymarket is now taking bets on when nuclear strikes might happen, just days after hundreds of millions were wagered on the U.S. attack itself.

Kristi Noem will go down as one of the most disgraceful cabinet members of all time.

BREAKING: Democratic Veterans swore an oath to defend our nation, both when they signed up to serve and when they were sworn into office. Now, they’re delivering on that Oath. The Constitution demands that Congress declares war, and that’s what we’re fighting for today.
A simple message to my Republican colleagues who have remained silent as this administration disregards the Constitution and shields the powerful: honor your oath to the American people and the rule of law, or make way for those who will.
What Trump is doing now, initiating what his own administration calls a war against Iran without congressional authorization, is exponentially more serious than the precedents his apologists are trying to cite.
But pretending these situations are the same is simply wrong.
Congress needs to reassert its constitutional war powers authority or lose it for good.
As for Biden, his uses of force were way more limited and retaliatory strikes tied to protecting our troops or counterterrorism operations already authorized by Congress.
For both Obama and Biden, you can still argue Congress should have had a stronger role, and we should be honest about that.
the mission was conducted as part of a NATO coalition and our country quickly moved into a supporting role rather than leading an open-ended war.
It’s true that presidents of both parties have stretched the War Powers framework.
Obama pushed the limits in Libya, continuing operations without explicit congressional authorization and arguing the U.S. role did not constitute “hostilities.”
But even then,
Trump and Hegseth have explicitly called this a war, a “major combat operations” and talking about an ongoing campaign against Iran. Launching the sustained hostilities of war, all without congressional authorization, is exactly the kind of decision the Constitution and the law assigns to Congress.
One of the worst takes I’ve heard is what Trump is doing in Iran is OK because Obama and Biden also ignored Congress.
That argument collapses under the smallest amount of scrutiny.

I’m a person of faith. But hearing any military commander suggesting that bombing Iran is part of a religious mission is deeply troubling.
Our service members swear an oath to the Constitution, not to anyone’s theology.

Trump: “We’re winning so much we don’t even know what to do about it.”
Reality: record numbers of Americans are raiding their 401(k)s to avoid eviction or pay medical bills.
That’s not winning.

Military decisions must be guided by law, strategy, and national security.
The separation of church and state doesn’t weaken either. It strengthens both.

National security requires strength, but when a nation devotes its resources first to war, it diverts them from the needs of its people.
...This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.”
