Thanks for the explainer. My brother in law is deployed so I’ve been acting as the news delivery person for my sister in law in the last week. I feel like I’ve been taking a crash course on our history with Iran while sorting through all the breaking news. I might send this to her when things calm down a bit. Things have to calm down a bit, right?
Your Instagram story that spoke about how Americans like being safe but not know what our forces are doing to keep us safe is also spot on. My husband was in the Navy for over ten years. Sometimes I forget that our experience is unique and end up shocking friends when I mention things he went through. Our country loves the idea of our armed forces but I think that’s because most of the US doesn’t know what they actually do to keep us safe.
Looks like my congressman, Chris DeLuzio is onboard. When I clicked your link to check on Senatorial cosponsors there were NO senators listed. I'll contact both of mine as soon as I look up their phone numbers (usually I email them around once a week.) Thanks. I did send an email objecting to our unconstitutional military actions in Iran to both senators this morning.
Called Fetterman and I'm hoping it was an accident but after waiting for almost 15 minutes on hold I was disconnected from the staffer I talked to. But at least they are answering.
You’re truly amazing and should be explaining things to the country at large, instead of the many many not so expert experts who are always talking constitutionality, foreign policy, and politics.
Emily, thank you so much for this. I'm so grateful for your knowledge and willingness to share it with others. I called my legislators this morning and felt confident after reading your Explainer.
Called my senators and for once actually got a live person in Gillibrand's office, which is shocking because they never answer the phone. Also called my rep but he's very pro-bombing Iran and hates Muslims so doubt he'll do anything useful.

No one has Co-sponsored Kaine’s Res. 59. Why?
Because he filed it without co-sponsors.

That’s right but things change, I don’t know when people will start populating on there!
