Since Trump doesn’t have war powers, isn’t this an illegal conflict not a war?

Tragic. At this point, it is an illegal conflict not a war because the president doesn’t have war powers and Congress was bypassed.

I think the truly damning thing about the Dem comms response is that they had months to prepare for today and there's zero coordination, no unified message. Just every D leader responding like they quickly hammered out a statement in a panic at 6 am this morning

Did an FBI agent intentionally mislead a judge so his agency could search Fulton County’s main election hub? That’s the question of the hour. And county officials argue the DOJ’s resistance to return sensitive election records might explain its nefarious, underlying intentions.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
