Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress.
@RepThomasMassie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.
News: @RoKhanna will force a vote on his bipartisan war powers resolution on Iran *next week* with @RepThomasMassie, he tells me.
Comes amid heavy U.S. military buildup in the region.

This is similar to what the US Government under Bush 41 did in Panama in 1989: invade and remove former Manuel Noriega from power, then brought him to the US to stand trial on drug trafficking.
What were all the great benefits to Americans and the world from that?
Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco traffickers.
