Where is Congress right now?

It is not just about the vote for the war-making power, which obviously is the prime issue in controversy.

There have been very few hearings.

I think Roger Wicker is the chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the Senate.

He's one of these guys who kind of pretends to be an old-school Reagan Republican still.

The last time Roger Wicker came to my attention—I forget he's in the Senate still a lot of times—the last time he came to my attention—

He was like wearing a Ukraine and America joint pin on his lapel.

I forget if it was during the State of the Union or during some prominent hearing.

And I found myself like screaming at my screen, like, you could do something about this.

It was like right in this moment where Trump was, you know, taking away funds from Ukraine.

So this is another moment, right?

And they run these committees.

They could have Pete Hegseth

over they could have general kane over there there's plenty of things to ask about and obviously a vote you know authorization of the war is is more important but but just the the scale of their abdication i think is also highlighted by the fact that they're not even doing other elements of kind of basic congressional responsibility yeah we're a month into the war no public hearings some

It is crazy.

They're off.

And I mean, the Democrats also could do and they could do stunts.

Yeah.

You know, you could go back to the hill.

You could go back on Monday and stand on the steps and have a no war with Iran rally.
