And you referenced a letter.

as is your want, from Lincoln to his friend regarding Polk entering war with Mexico.

Yeah.

And Lincoln was upset or in opposition to the unilateral engagement of war with Mexico in this letter.

It was another winner.

It was Yates last week, Lincoln this week.

Every once in a while, you have some misses in the newsletter with your historical references, but I thought this one was also right on the nose.

So why don't we start there?

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.
