Trump Press Freedom Attack Raises a Dangerous War on Constitutional Truth

Why should a failure to block something amount to a tacit approval? To me, that is an argument from silence, a fallacy, and this war of choice in Iran remains unauthorized by Congress (see https://reason.com/2026/04/16/congress-declines-again-to-rein-in-trumps-iran-war/). Even more ludicrous is why Congress—who decides on which wars to wage—requires a two-thirds majority to overrule a president's veto on a war powers resolution (see INS v. Chadha).

Trump’s Iran Strike Bypasses Congress—A Constitutional Crisis Unfolds
Trump’s strike on Iran bypassed Congress, risked global oil shocks, and reignited impeachment calls over executive war powers.

Class Warfare’s Global Genocide: How Trump, Netanyahu, and Elites Drive Endless War
Wars in Gaza, Iran tensions, and sanctions on Cuba reveal a global system where elites preserve power at the expense of ordinary people. The public must confront the truth behind these conflicts.

They tried to warn him since 2017 that a war with Iran would be extremely risky and require congressional approval, with some admonishing that it would be his worst-ever action. Not to be deterred, President Trump 2.0 actually went with it, heeding neither warning. Trump has now officially staked his entire political career and legacy on that one act, an achievement that would make George W. Bush jealous. What luck.

#LeeGelernt, who argued the case for the #ACLU, said Tuesday: “The #Trump administration’s use of a wartime statute during peacetime to regulate #immigration was rightly shut down by the court. This is a critically important decision reining in the administration’s view that it can simply declare an emergency without any oversight by the courts.”

The list was later removed from the #DHS website after critics noted it included localities that have actively supported #Trump’s tough #immigration policies.
The #DOJ has also sued #NewYork, #LosAngeles & other cities over their #sanctuary policies.
There is no strict definition for #SanctuaryCities, but the terms generally describe places that limit cooperation with #ICE.
