Great episode. You don't necessarily expect an episode on this topic to include the line "now we're walking past the Sci Fi/ Fantasy dildo section" (it's set partly in the Smitten Kitten, a Minneapolis adult/sex shop that is doing a lot of mutual aid work)

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.
