Trump’s May 1 Deadline: War Powers Act Limits Iran Conflict

Trump’s May 1 Deadline: War Powers Act Limits Iran Conflict

Feeling anxious reading this. Can't they just focus on de-escalation? We've seen enough conflict.

Makes my heart heavy. Always feels like ordinary people just want peace while politics drags us the other way.

So he can just bypass it? What's the point of the law then.

This is so stressful. Constantly worrying about escalation while leaders play with deadlines.
