We’re going to see security services deployed more and more against Dem elected officials," says
Moira Donegan.
"To be a Dem official is an illegitimate position under his regime.
The hostility as constant as breathing really seems to be the model that they’re operating on."

Juneteenth and Why It Matters

The #ConstitutionalCrisis began on Day 1 of Trump's traitorous, illegitimate, & criminal term. Trump, GOP MOC, & all in his regime, are lawless. They refuse to abide by the #law.

American #diplomats have begun leaving #Israel amid the escalating #war between Israel & #Iran, the #US embassy in Jerusalem said in a statement, without saying how many remained. The statement said the diplomats were departing Israel “through a variety of means,” without clarifying.

Senator #BernieSanders, the Vermont independent, said in an interview w/ NYT that any #military action being considered by #Trump must be voted on by #Congress. “The #Constitution of the #UnitedStates is quite clear,” he said. “It is Congress that determines whether or not this country goes to #war, not a president unilaterally.”

Experts expect that if #Trump orders the American #military to directly participate in #Israel’s bombing campaign, #Iran will quickly retaliate against #UStroops stationed across the #MiddleEast.
“The Americans should know that any #US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage,” Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei, warned on Wed, acc/to state news media.

#USTroops in the #MiddleEast would be vulnerable if the #US joins the #Israel - #Iran conflict.
Thousands of American troops could be in Iran’s direct line of fire if #Trump joins Israel in attacking Tehran’s #nuclear program & #military, as he said on Wed that he *may or may not* do.
Many would have only minutes to take cover from an incoming Iranian missile.

[cont] the President may use force to protect an important national interest, but only so long as the force used does not amount to #war “in the constitutional sense” (which the #Constitution delegates #Congress alone the power to authorize, along with a host of other war-related powers found in #ArticleI).
…there are only 2 sources of #authority for the use of force abroad – the #Constitution & congressional authorizations for the use of military force (#AUMF). …There is no existing AUMF that would authorize the President to use force against #Iran. Second, under the #ExecutiveBranch’s own interpretation of #ArticleII of the Constitution, which has become much broader in recent decades & is not necessarily shared by #Congress or the #courts,
In my opinion, there’s not a thing wrong with the ideals and mechanisms outlined and the liberties set forth in the Constitution of the United States. The only problem was, the founders left a lot of people out of the Constitution. They left out poor people and black people and female people. It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America. And it still goes on today.
