The House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a war powers resolution aimed at ending unauthorized U.S. military involvement in Iran, marking the most significant congressional challenge yet to President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict.

The measure, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) invokes the 1973 War Powers Resolution and would require the administration to obtain explicit authorization from Congress before continuing hostilities against Iran, except in cases involving an imminent threat to the United States. The vote followed months of growing bipartisan concern over a conflict that began in.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has pledged to “fight back” against former President Donald Trump, following his reelection victory less than 24 hours ago. Speaking at a press conference, James vowed to New Yorkers that her office would actively respond to any potential policy shifts that could impact the state.

“We did not expect this result,” James began, addressing the gathered press with a somber tone. “But we use the rule of law to fight back.” James assured residents of her readiness, identifying herself and her office as “guardians of the law.”

James revealed that her office has developed a “contingency plan” to anticipate and respond to Trump’s renewed leadership. “So here we are,” she continued, detailing the careful planning her team has undertaken in recent months. “We’ve studied their platforms. We’ve identified certain possibilities, and we’ve created contingency plans. No matter what the next administration throws at us, we are ready.”

Calling for public resolve, James urged New Yorkers to remain “faithful” rather than fearful. “This is not the time to be fearful, New York,” she stated. “But steadfast, knowing that I, as the attorney general, along with my entire team, are prepared to fight back.”

James has been vocal in her opposition to Trump throughout her tenure, controversially pledging to “get Trump” during her campaign for attorney general. Now, with Trump once again in office, she reaffirmed her determination to use all legal avenues to counter his administration’s policies.

In taking today’s stance, James reiterated her commitment to vehemently opposing President-elect Trump’s America First agenda, just one day after he won both the Electoral College and popular vote.

    She is an absolute idiot. He takes New York because the New Yorkers are sick of the policies of the dems, and she can’t figure that out. Someone needs to halter that heifer.

    What if President Trump uses HIS legal power through the DOJ and FBI to have her put in detention for threatening to undermine the office of President through Lawfare and put her in detention indefinitely awaiting trial for domestic terrorism and treason?

    DEM

    Oh entitled one, you should sit down, shut up and be grateful for what you have!

    Tim

    That sounds like nothing more than interference with the political processes. As a member of the judicial system, that’s criminal!!!!

SHE IS NOT AN AG….SHE IS A DEMON!! AND I HOPE SHE IS PUT IN JAIL FOR HER UNJUST TREATMENT OF THE BEST PRESIDENT WE HAVE HAD IN MY LIFETIME. SHAME ON HER!

    Wake up New Yorkers. You need to get rid of James. She’s a detriment to your well being.

    Oh I see, Trump can win the election, the Senate, the House, the POPULAR VOTE…..but not unless Letitia James approves, SHE decides who gets to lead our country. What kind of nonsense is this? The remedy for such overreach and purely selective prosecution is DISBARMENT. It doesn’t matter that NY is the bluest blue state, lawfare is not permissable and Letitia needs to step down or be fired.

    Roy

    The demon needs disbarred and couple years in prison for abuse of power.. Our Constitution does not allow this type of persecution to take place with anyone which also includes all those Jan 6th prisoners that’s been in prison for nearly 4 years without a speedy trial.. ALL of those corrupt thugs needs at least 2-5 years for their abuse.. Byrd needs charged with Ashli’s murder..

    Happy Warrior

    This *itch is way too stupid to know when it is over! Someone please slap some sense into this miserable blob of goo.

    Dominic Pasquarosa

    This is a walking, living female demoness…A COMPLETE DISGRACE TO HER RACE IN A TIME WHEN THEY HAVE CRIED OUR FOR JUSTICE!!! SHE CHOOSES TO VOMIT ON THEM AFTER SPITTING ON THEM!! A TRUE POLITICAL DEVIANT & HACK!! And people will still support this chyme!

    Dennis

    Remember this. “Are you now or have you ever been a member of a group or organization wanting to overthrow the government of the United States?”
