AI buys defenders a head start. But without triage, translation, and
distribution, that window will be wasted.
Both chambers of Congress have now voted to severely curtail U.S. military operations against Iran. @sranderson.bsky.social explains the legal effects these joint resolutions will have on the president's ability to use military force.
