Sanders criticizes Trump decision to bomb Iran as ‘grossly unconstitutional’

Saturday, 21 June 2025 23:12

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) at a rally in Oklahoma blasted President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran and enter the U.S. into Israel’s war with Tehran.

Sanders broke the news to the crowd in Tulsa, which began chants of “no more war.”

“I agree,” Sanders told the crowd. “Not only is this news that I’ve just heard alarming . . . but it is so grossly unconstitutional. All of you know, that the only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The president does not have the right.”

Only Congress has the power to declare war under the U.S. Constitution, though presidents in both parties have carried out military strikes on adversaries without prior approval from the legislative body.

Lawmakers in both parties have been unnerved in recent days by the saber-rattling over the possible U.S. entry to Israel’s bombing of Iran. Trump just days ago said he would be making a decision in the next two weeks about bombing Iran.

Senate Parliamentarian Tells Republicans They Can't Do Their Big Food Benefit Cut

Saturday, 21 June 2025 20:38

SNAP A decision by the Senate’s rules referee will likely force Republicans to drop a major part of their so-called Big Beautiful Bill.

Democrats announced late Friday night the Senate parliamentarian ruled that a provision requiring states to share the cost of federal food benefits cannot stay in the bill under the fast-track legislative procedures Republicans are using.

It’s a significant setback. The proposal represented not only a major structural change to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, but also a decent chunk of savings that helped offset the cost of the bill’s tax cuts for the rich.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), the top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, trumpeted the ruling, which resulted from Democrats making their case to the parliamentarian in closed-door meetings.

“As much as Senate Republicans would prefer to throw out the rule book and advance their conservative families lose and billionaires win agenda, this process has rules and Democrats are making sure those rules are enforced,” Merkley said. “We will be fighting this bill every single day until Republicans bring it to the floor.”

Former US ambassador to Ukraine who resigned in protest launches run for Congress in Michigan

Wednesday, 18 June 2025 22:20

Bridget Brink, who stepped down as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine this year in protest of what she said was President Donald Trump's unfair treatment of the the war-torn country, announced Wednesday that she's running for Congress in one of Michigan's most competitive districts.

The longtime diplomat, who previously held high-ranking State Department roles in other former Soviet and Eastern European countries, is casting herself as a public servant as she runs in next year's midterm elections, when her Democrats hope to win control of the House.

“My next mission: to fight for what’s right here at home,” she said.

Trump picked Brink to be the country's ambassador to Slovakia in 2019 and Biden tapped her to be ambassador to Ukraine shortly after Russia invaded the country in 2022. She resigned in April, saying in an op-ed published in the Detroit Free Press that Trump continues to pressure Ukraine and not Russia.

Tuesday, 17 June 2025 17:09

Truck carrying tank A truck carrying one of the Army M1 Abrams tanks that participated in President Donald Trump's parade in honor of the service's 250th birthday struck and killed a woman in Washington.

The accident occurred on the evening of June 16 – two days after the parade – on New York Avenue while a contract truck driver was hauling the tank from the West Potomac Park staging area to a railyard in Jessup, Maryland, according to an internal Army document obtained by USA TODAY. The truck was part of a larger convoy of vehicles.

The woman, whose name was not included in the document, was alone at the time of her death.

Officers with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department responding to a call in the city's Northeast area just after 9:30 p.m. found "an adult female, unconscious and not breathing, suffering from life-threatening injuries," according to police spokesman Freddie Talbert.

What to Know About the 2 Minnesota Political Couples Shot in 'Targeted' Attacks by Suspect Pretending to Be a Cop

Saturday, 14 June 2025 12:58

In the early hours of June 14, two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes in what Gov. Tim Walz has called a “politically motivated assassination.”

Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman were both targeted in the overnight attacks, which were carried out by a suspect pretending to be a law enforcement officer, Minnesota authorities said in a press conference.

Melissa and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home, while John and his wife Yvette sustained gunshot wounds in their Champlin residence, authorities said. In the same press conference, Walz said he is “cautiously optimistic” that the couple will survive the attack.

The suspect — who planned to harm many more individuals, according to a manifesto authorities said they recovered from his vehicle — remained at large at 1 p.m. local time.

Sen. Alex Padilla Manhandled, Handcuffed, Forcibly Removed From Kristi Noem Presser

Thursday, 12 June 2025 22:33

Sen. Padilla roughed up Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) was manhandled and handcuffed as he was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday.

As Noem discussed the immigration raids in the region, Padilla said aloud, “You insist on exaggerating,” according to video footage of the press conference. His remark prompted at least two men to approach him and push him out of the room despite immediately identifying himself as a U.S. senator with questions for Noem.

The words “sir, sir” and “hands up, hands up” can be heard in the footage as Padilla is being yanked and shoved.

‘America’s reputation is on the line’: Republican senators chide Hegseth over Ukraine

Wednesday, 11 June 2025 23:58

Republican senators lashed into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday over the Trump administration’s effort to end the Ukraine war by drawing in Russia, thrusting a glaring ideological divide within the party into public view.

Sen. Mitch McConnell — one of three Republicans to oppose Hegseth’s confirmation — led the criticism at a Senate budget hearing. “America’s reputation is on the line,” the Kentucky Republican said. “Will we defend democratic allies against authoritarian aggressors?”

The former Senate majority leader — who now chairs the panel that controls defense funding — leveled some of his strongest warnings yet at the Pentagon chief during the hearing, which took a more adversarial tone than Tuesday’s House counterpart. Hegseth, who came out largely unscathed the day before, endured interrogations from both parties on President Donald Trump’s strategy to end the conflict.
