Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

In my day we used manufacture consent for illegal military action, but I suppose the president never was big on consent.

In all seriousness it is something special to know that the mayor of the largest city in the country is a Muslim Indian who is the son of one of the most esteemed de-colonial scholars on the planet, and who is steadfast with Palestine; and who is visibly proud of his identity and his politics.

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."
