Kaine: "We had to pry with a crowbar after weeks and weeks out of the administration the supposed rationale for the strikes in international waters. It was very shoddy. It was not at all persuasive that these are legal actions ... It's time for Congress to rein in the president."

Where the heck have these people been for the past 10 months? As an Americans who’s been watching this dictatorship unfold and protesting it all year long, I am not afraid to say that this Congress has failed to do its job. It’s way, way, way beyond time to reign in this president and his minions.

The time to "rein in" Trump was early 2025, when the extent of his lawlessness was clear. It's long past time to IMPEACH him. No euphemisms, say the word. Repeat it over and over again until it rolls off your tongue naturally. If there is one concept that must be normalized in Congress, this is it.

Drug smugglers are not stupid. After the first couple of boats got extinguished, they would change their modus operandi. Most likely, the majority of those dead were not smugglers.

Said the guy who voted to reopen; thus screwing Americans with ridiculously high health Insurance costs. Tim is such a sellout. How about he actually do something? Or is the AIPAC money just too influential?

Kaine had a chance to stop the Pedophile and his protectors when he had leverage but he chickened out and voted with Child Rapists to allow them to continue looting and raping. Tim Kaine is untrustworthy and he is a hypocrite and a liar. DO NOT TRUST TIM KAINE

This is why Republicans became so upset when the illegal orders issue was brought up because they were banking on illegal orders to get their way and suppress all dissent in the United States.

Not completely true. Virginia has the largest number of federal workers along with military. Republicans agreed to not hold the threat of firings over more federal worker's heads. My brother is a veteran and a federal worker who was furloughed without pay.

My problem is that without any guarantees from the administration, who knows when he could be let go or furloughed again? I have family members and friends who were furloughed without pay and most are furious the Senators agreed to this deal.

A couple of top people have said it's going up. Reed Dem and an Alabama Sen. Kaine is morally better than most. He was extremely concerned about SNAP clients and FED workers. He was going to be a priest and worked for the impoverished in S.A. I wanted them to hang on a week or two more. But...

Congress should have reined the orange turd in a long time ago. It will take us forever to fix all of the ruin he has caused our country. If they all band together, we can and will keep them safe. They just have to get a backbone and do it!!!

The situation does indeed sound worrying. Should the attack lack sufficient legal justification, Parliament does indeed bear a responsibility to intervene and ensure that presidential actions are subject to checks and balances.

So now the president is committing other crimes in an attempt to distract from the slew of other nasty crimes he committed on Epstein island. On top of all the 34 felonies he was convicted of last year, can we please just lock him up already to stop him from committing more crimes?!!!

Until these people that are Republicans in Congress start growing a spine and stop listening to the delusional sociopathic narcissist that's gotten us into all these problems; Congress can't do anything. It's just rhetoric. It's lip service. DEMOCRATS DON'T CONTROL CONGRESS REPUBLICANS DO.

I know it is difficult but shhhhhh. We want to keep the orange pedophile in office long enough to guarantee a democrat majority in both houses. Just so JD Vance can’t fuck it up even worse.

That's all hideous but who will stop the orange idiot? Seeing the joy from Kegstand and the orange idiot was disgusting in murdering people. They do not have the Nation behind them, blowing boats up without a trial is just their latest nightmare. When will enough be enough? 💙✊

It sounds like they were very stingy with the facts. They can use the dodge "this is classified material" to stonewall the press: not Congress.That's the very body that has people qualified to receive classified intel. This stinks to high heaven.

kaine, the A$$HOLE who SOLD OUT on our Healthcare for a POSSIBLE Vote LATER, MAYBE!!! STFU & STFD (kinda like Sit Down...) kaine folded like a CHEAP Suit when faced my the Mango Maniac... Once AGAIN... STFU & STFD YOU PUSSY!!!

Trump now has had a taste of murder. Taking someone’s life can give one a sense of power. Trump loves power and I’m sure he feeds off of it and wants to feel this way more and more. It no different than a junkie.

They have created a monster. How exactly can they rein him in, and do they have the cajones to do it? Are war crimes and execution overreach now protected by presidential immunity?
