    A Reminder Amid Group Chat Outrage: US Strikes on Yemen Are Unconstitutional

    "President Trump has not only launched us into a new military escapade in the Middle East, he's done so in breach of our Constitution," said one advocate.

    Julia Conley
    Mar 27, 2025

    The leaked messages among top Trump administration officials about U.S. strikes in Yemen earlier this month, which were held via a private sector messaging app in breach of national security protocol and inadvertently included a journalist, sparked considerable discussion among political commentators and social media users—but as the initial shock regarding the Signal conversation faded, advocates and policy experts said lawmakers' attention should turn to the illegality of the attacks on Yemen.

    The advocacy groups Just Foreign Policy, DAWN, and Action Corps released a joint statement Thursday calling on Congress to take action to stop U.S. military action in Yemen by upholding "its sole authority to declare war under Article I of the Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Resolution (WPR)."

    President Trump Hosts Ukrainian President Zelensky At The White House

    After Oval Office Meltdown, Trump Cuts Off All US Military Aid to Ukraine

    "Let's be clear—this is not about bringing peace," argued Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal. "Donald Trump is siding with Russia, Putin, and dictators across the world over our allies and the defense of democracy."

    Mar 04, 2025

    U.S. President Donald Trump late Monday ordered a suspension of all American military assistance to Ukraine after his conduct in a televised meeting with the war-torn country's president in the Oval Office last week sparked international dismay and outrage.

    Trump's decision reportedly impacts over $1 billion worth of weaponry and ammunition that was set to be delivered to Ukraine, which has been under attack by invading Russian forces since February 2022. The U.S. has provided more than $65 billion in military aid to Ukraine during the full-scale Russian assault, according to State Department figures.

    Despite Growing Anger, Sanders Stands Firmly Against Gaza Cease-Fire

    The Vermont senator instead called for conditioning U.S. military aid to Israel, an end to "indiscriminate bombing," and a humanitarian pause.

    Jake Johnson
    Nov 17, 2023

    Facing backlash from former staffers and other progressives, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday declined once again to join the growing number of congressional lawmakers demanding an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, saying in a statement that he is "not quite sure how you negotiate a cease-fire with a terrorist organization that is dedicated to perpetual war."

    Sanders (I-Vt.) was referencing a Hamas spokesman's recent remark to The New York Times that he hopes "the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders"—an indication, according to the Vermont senator, that Hamas "wants perpetual warfare and the destruction of Israel."
