Kaine: "The administration is refusing to allow members of this committee to see the OLC opinion stating the legal case for war. We've always that ability. We're being asked to fund a $1.5t budget. What are they hiding?"

WHAT difference does lack of disclosure matter if Congress isn’t leaning into their Article I powers? These committees have yielded zero data pertaining Iran 2 MONTHS into a congressionally unauthorized WAR. Apparently if you rename the conflict often enough, Congress’s responsibility disappears.

They are showing you that when they get into total power you will be worthless. Almost there. The republicans who are backing this regime will find out they are jobless as well. Fascists don’t have advisors they are the supreme leader.

Democrats are not going to save us, they are not tackling the elephant in the room, the undemocratic nature of our system. They never even dare to mention it, Republicans have the power they do because of the system is undemocratic. democratize the system and MAGA collapses.

Nothing fails like prayer... no matter what I did in the last election it had no effect on the outcome. I live in firmly Democratic state. And there's part of the problem Democrats seem to think that even those who are in this position are obligated to vote for their shitty candidates.

The legal opinions provided by the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) justifying U.S. military action against Iran in 2026 without explicit, prior congressional authorization

fvcking clown doesn’t understand the direness of the situation here. Keep your mouth shut. DEMANDING STUPID SHIT. You did this. Ppl like you have no clue what’s at stake and keep putting my kids in danger. FO

Why the F are they asking? They should be demanding. Moreover, why would Republicans accept ZERO justification, and approve it? Republicans are not representing constituents. They are representing the President. This point should be drilled into R voters.

If Repub voters understand that Congress Repubs are not representing them, and they don't trust Dems to represent them, then they should (ironically) vote for Dems. Here is why: Dems will preserve voting. Repubs want to eliminate voting or representing anyone except their Führer. Seriously

31-year military veteran with 3 tours in Iraq 🇮🇶 here. The military doctrinal term appropriate for this: Kinetic Clusterfuck Defined as a situation where you kill people/break things with no plans, planning or fuqing clue from an assclown as SECDRUNK and a dementia patient. #KineticClusterfuck

They can’t even complete an audit of how they spent the previous Trillions. Why would you give them money at all. People are being taken off of life saving care because of hunches about fraud and you want to write an 1.5 trillion dollar check for something that nobody even knows or can’t explain?

Operation Epic Fiasco is well past the 60 day period. Have any of these fools figured that out? Do they have enough sense to do something about such an egregious violation of law? No, they just there doing nothing like usual. Useless bobble heads.

Donald Trump’s war on Iran has been a moral and strategic disaster. Lawmakers hold the power to block funding for Trump’s devastating war, which already has cost at least $29 billion, while disrupting global commerce. You can also let your lawmakers know how you feel about Trump’s call for 40% more

They are hiding the lack of reason for the war, the conflicts of interest they are active enriching, and all of our middle eastern bases that have been destroyed….

Why won’t someone just say the whole thing is a bullshit? No one is mad enough. Democrats asking disingenuous questions when they know they won’t get a straight answer is lame and forgettable. Get mean you pussies! Skip the questions and give a freaking presentation for the American people. Fuck!

Trump, the blooming lout, wants a ballroom, an arch, and a large battleship. Kalshi bets that big battleship will be the biggest sitting duck in recorded history. Every enemy will want to be the first to blow it out of the water. There have been studies that prove battleships are obsolete.

Why does he presume there IS an OLC opinion...?! Seems to be mostly another Trump fueled tirade wherein he envisions himself "Saving the World and getting the Nobel Prize for ending another War he created..."

Senator Kaine, the words escaping you are, “Hell No! Not one American wants tax $s to go to Mr Trumps war. He’s so fuking rich with our money already, let Trump pay for it along with his cringy ballroom!” We, the American people took a vote and the unanimous decision is Just say NO!

There is no legal case for Trump's war in Iran. Nothing. They have no intention of providing one. So many rich people are really raking in profits. That's why they need $1.5 trillion.

They're never able to justify the numbers or words that the MAGA Pedo King tosses around. They are insulted that the smart people want proof and probable future culpability assigned for their monetary or motion requests. They have to deliver for their King's demands no matter the cost.

I watch this & think back about January 6, & how the current tyrant & his regime attempted to kill some of these congressmen. It's good to ask @ the 1.5 trillion, but there is no sense in asking the very people that wanted to take power by FORCE to answer questions @ the FURTHERING of those plans.

That's because it looks like they don't have an excuse for going to war, other than his buddy needed a partner in crime so he could inadvertently take on his other adversaries in the area!?

They’re hiding concentration camps, funding a domestic praetorian guard army, turning the US military into hubs for religious zealotry. To save time, everything they’re planning can be found by either studying the third Reich, or reading Project 2025.

This is outrageous and it is because we didn't crush racism and we live with misogyny while we scream about our superiority and greatness. We are tired of the minority of these Robber Barron Epstein Class very sick badtards ruling the rest of us. Les Miserables!
