The Iran Escalation: How Congress Traded War Powers for Silence feat. Tony

from While We Still Can

@anthon7yandrewsWelcome to the mid-2020s, where the global stage is a fever dream of sovereign debt and shadow plays. While Congress continues its long-standing tradition of treating presidential war powers like a "suggestion" rather than a law—allowing the situation in Iran to boil over without so much as a signed permission slip—the USS Abraham Lincoln has quietly slipped away, leaving behind a vacuum of accountability and a heavy scent of suspicion. We’re currently trapped in a hall of mirrors where El Salvador’s economy is a literal crypto-gamble, the Epstein-adjacent elite like Paolo Zampolli still haunt the social registers, and the media manages casualty counts with the creative flair of a propaganda office. Between the rampant censorship and the "documented but ignored" history of institutional abuse, the public is finally waking up to the realization that the draft isn't just a historical footnote anymore, and the only thing more manipulated than the news cycle is our own collective willingness to believe it.
