Sad as it is, it might just take something this big and bad to finally dethrone trump and Maga. And in the end, save our democracy. I can't believe that's where we're at, but, here we are
The pro-democracy coalition's view on Iran should be this: Trump is going to do whatever he wants, and if the result is less than perfect, ensure he pays a political price.

There is no agency. But there will be accountability.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher.

I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.
We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals.

To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.
