Thousands of soldiers and Marines have arrived in the Middle East. The GOP congress has abdicated its obligations but that doesn’t mean Democrats can’t raise hell: Cut your vacation short, demand a vote on ground troops.
Also: A life lesson for Duke fans.

"I think that the economic consequences are spiraling out of control and I think that people are way too cavalier about it right now."
@timmiller.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social talk the economic impact of Trump's war.
"For what it’s worth—and keep in mind, this newsletter is free—here’s my speculation, as of early Tuesday morning, March 31, about where Donald Trump is heading on Iran.
Where he’s heading is toward the exits."

@timmiller.bsky.social with a message to Democrats: "This is the moment to go on Fox and say to people, 'you signed up for this—for no new wars, for lower costs. And we're in the stupidest war I could possibly think of, and everything is costing more, and it's about to get worse.'"
"All in all, it seems more likely than not that Trump plans on walking away rather than escalating. I think this would be a less bad outcome than introducing ground troops. But it will still be a bad outcome for the United States and the world."

“Trump is now involved in what Lincoln considered the ‘the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions…’ Our elected officials have an obligation not to sit by while a wannabe King plunges us deeper into an unwise and unconstitutional war.”

“What is surprising...are the dips in support from the very groups that helped Trump win in 2024,” says @umasspolsci Tatishe Nteta. New poll shows sharp drops among men, working-class Americans, African Americans, moderates (-18), and independents (-13). https://t.co/7HO0c3nbEz
Thanks @timmiller.bsky.social at @bullwark.bsky.social for playing our song on his #NoKings podcast today! I’ve been a fangirl of Tim’s for a while now-and he’s definitely helping me get through this monstrous and frankly, stupid time. In my mind, I basically just won a Grammy! 💙✊🏽🗽
