Following the attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, there will be understandable demands for change—“but at some point, Americans must decide whether we live in an open democracy or a garrison state,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

Trump hasn't gone to Congress for authorization to attack Iran. He hasn't explained the necessity or urgency of preemptive action by us. I'd very much like to see regime change in Iran, but Trump hasn't explained how we intend to help achieve that goal. Congress: Just say No.

Summarily smashing part of the White House without announcing it “threatens the fundamental idea of the republic—government by the people and for the people, conducted in public view,” Jake Lundberg argues.
