Letter to a #Senator / 22 June :: Mr #Tillis_ Last night, #America launched strikes on sites in #Iran. As you know, only# Congress holds the #constitutional authority to declare war. Yet once again, the #Executive has acted #unilaterally. 1/5

Federal District Court Deborah Boardman, Maryland issued preliminary injunction today blocking Trump’s attempt to #unilaterally eliminate automatic U.S. #citizenship for children born to #undocumented or temporary #immigrants on US soil. The nationwide injunction applies nationally and is more permanent than the 14-day temporary restraining order issued on Jan. 23 by a federal judge in Seattle. #trump #politics #courts #Democracy #constitution #legalresearch #govdocs

Putin aims to control Baltic Sea

Russia unveiled plans to #unilaterally change maritime border with #Lithuania & #Finland in #BalticSea

Who controls #Gotland Island controls the Baltic Sea

If Russia seizes control it could threaten NATO countries from the sea

This would end the peace & stability in Nordic & Baltic regions

Baltic Sea should not turn into Putin’s playground where he intimidates #NATO

#McCarthy’s decision to #unilaterally announce an #impeachment investigation w/no formal #House vote entwined the #Republican investigations into Pres #Biden w/the #funding fight…. It *appeared* to be a bid to #quell a brewing #rebellion among #ultraconservative critics who have accused the “speaker” of not taking a hard enough line on spending, by #complying w/their demands to more aggressively pursue the president (w/nothing to go on).

Whole lot of #USA #progressives today with a "How could they!?!?!?" about the #Supreme #Court's ruling the #president couldn't #unilaterally give away half-a-trillion #dollars .

I'm just an ignorant #Canadian, but I've read the US #constitution, and it seems pretty clear to me - the U.S. #Congress has "the power of the purse", not the #presidency .

Seems like this was a #forgone #conclusion, unless you think courts should rule by #feelz rather than by #laws.
