And MAGA Republicans in Congress are giving him a blank check.

Team, I spent 24 years in the Army. I served in the White House under two presidents. I understand foreign policy. I understand military operations. And I understand the Constitution. Article I, Section 8 gives Congress — not the President — the power to declare war. That's not a suggestion. That's the foundation of our system of checks and balances. Trump threatened to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure. Legal experts called it what it is: A potential war crime. And my MAGA opponent? Silent. No demands for accountability. No questions about strategy or endgame. Just quiet complicity with whatever Trump decides. That's not representation. That's abdication. Yes, there's a ceasefire now, reportedly. I'm relieved. But the ceasefire lasts two weeks, and nothing structural has changed. One dangerous, unhinged man still has unchecked power to drag Americans into war — and the MAGA Extremist representing Virginia's 7th is perfectly fine with that. I'm not. I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. That oath didn't come with an expiration date. Virginia's 7th deserves a representative who shows up, demands answers, and fights to restore the checks and balances that MAGA has spent years dismantling. That's exactly what I'm going to do — but I need your help to get there.
