Demand Congressional Action on Unconstitutional Iran War and Trump-Epstein Files

You own this. Congress has the power to end an unauthorized war that is bankrupting the military, and you have done nothing. There is no authorization to use military force in Iran — Harlan Ullman, a retired naval officer, put it plainly: "Is Congress obliged to pay for a conflict it did not authorize?" The answer is no. Yet here we are, with Pentagon memos confirming payroll accounts were raided to fund combat operations and a former military contractor summarizing the situation bluntly: "They shot all their weapons; they trashed all their ships; they ran out of their money."
Susan Collins said it herself on July 21st in a Senate appropriations hearing: military services face "near-term solvency challenges." The Iran war has already cost $35.7 billion by Pete Hegseth's own testimony, with no clear endgame. This is what happens when Congress abandons its constitutional war powers. Cut off funding, demand a formal authorization vote, and let the record show where every member stands.
Also release the Trump-Epstein files. The public has a right to that information, and continued suppression only deepens the suspicion that Congress is protecting powerful people over the constituents it serves. Do your job.
