Congress cannot allow the Trump Administration to start another unauthorized war — in Cuba or anywhere else. As we work to end the war in Iran, Congress must act preemptively to prevent another illegal conflict before it begins.
“Trump appeared to signal prior awareness of a Johnson–Farage electoral alignment in 2019, praising them as an ‘unstoppable force’. Shortly afterwards, the Brexit Party withdrew from 317 Tory-held seats — a pivotal moment in the election.”

Sec. of “War” Hegseth told our top generals that the military is unfit. He laid out an anti-woke vision to weed out “dudes in dresses” and men with beards [blacks]. Trump upped the ante with claims of an “invasion from within.” The message from both to Americans: “FAFO.”
