U.S. bombed Iran again, where is Susan Collins?

Today, the United States woke up to news that we conducted another act of war overnight. This time we’re back in the Republican Party’s favorite playground, the Middle East.

Alongside Israel, the United States bombed Iran.

Regardless of what laws Congress has passed, the Constitution requires a congressional declaration of war and this has not been amended.

There has been no formal declaration of war.

In fact, a number of members have attempted to pull back executive power but a majority of the legislative body has stood by the expansive presidential powers.

The response to our strikes was a flurry of heavy attacks targeting our military bases in the region. At least one was heavily hit. Our actions that are unpopular with Americans to kick the hornets nest will endanger our service members in the region, as well as citizens living abroad.

Where is Susan Collins?

Regardless of her response, it’s all meaningless without action in the right direction. Silence or empty feigned concern are meaningless. We need action. Rein in the President.

But given she’s been warmonger her entire career, we shouldn’t much of anything. This will serve as an important reminder that our United States Senator cares more about the military-industrial complex than she does Maine.
