The Constitution is clear: Congress is responsible for authorizing offensive military action and declaring war. This President â or any President â should not launch America into sustained offensive military activity in the Middle East, or anywhere, without Congressâ authorization.

Trump violated our Constitution by waging war without Congressional authorization. Senate Rs had the chance to defend our Constitution. They failed. They failed to defend our Constitution. They failed to rein in Trumpâs poorly planned and illegally-launched war. They failed the American people.

There are an estimated 275,000 to 300,000 Americans who are living unsheltered on the streets. If we put all of them in luxury hotel rooms for $500 per night, it would cost the taxpayer around $50 billion per year. Homelessness is a policy choice.
