Senate takes first step in repealing Iraq War authorizations

The Senate took a first step Thursday toward repealing two measures that give open-ended approval for military action in Iraq, pushing to end that authority as the United States marks the 20th anniversary of the Iraq War.

Senators voted 68-27 to move forward on legislation that would repeal the 2002 measure that greenlighted that March 2003 invasion of Iraq and also a 1991 measure that sanctioned the U. S.-led Gulf War to expel Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s forces from Kuwait. Nineteen Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the repeal.

The bipartisan effort comes as lawmakers in both parties are increasingly seeking to claw back congressional powers over U. S. military strikes and deployments, arguing that the war authorizations are no longer necessary and subject to misuse if they are left on the books. President Joe Biden has backed the push, and the White House issued a statement Thursday in support.

“Repeal of these authorizations would have no impact on current U. S. military operations and would support this administration’s commitment to a strong and comprehensive relationship with our Iraqi partners,” the White House said.

So the meeting I had with the investigator for my alleged misconduct didn't go well. Not only did she refuse to address me by my pronouns but also she ended the meeting prematurely because I refused to doxx myself on camera. She already has access to my personal information anyways and govt ID can easily be forged and showing it on camera is very insecure. She told me yesterday that I can just send a written statement defending myself, which I did with the help of ChatGPT.

I've read the code of conduct and the sanction/hearing procedure, and I wonder what will I be punished with? I've already filed a human rights complaint to the government for her refusing to address me by my pronouns (idgaf if it's petty, I'll use the tranny card if forced to) and delaying the investigation until I visit my psychiatrist and receive diagnostic report. I also tried to file one to my school but my associate dean keeps ignoring me and sadly it's up to him to contact the human rights department first. I have also contacted several law firms to get an attorney and only 1 so far has contacted me back.

As for next steps going forward, it'll take up to 10 business days for the investigator to finish her investigation and sanction me. For the sanctions, they can be as mild as a warning or support agreement to being as moderate as restrictions or behaviour contract to as severe as suspension and expulsion. I'm accused of sending inappropriate messages over a class Discord server that are allegedly hateful, disruptive, threatening, harassment, discriminatory, etc. Worst I wrote was observations and questions of other people's identity markers.

Trump Jr. Says Biden Did It, Biden Points To Trump Sr.: The Collapse Of Banks Under The Last 4 Administrations

The blame game over who’s responsible for the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, part of SVB Financial Group

kicked off immediately following news that the 19th largest bank in the U. S. had failed.

The situation became worse when on Sunday, Signature Bank

The two collapses mark the second and third largest bank failures in history, next to the collapse of Washington Mutual in 2008.

The Accusation Flinging: Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter on Sunday to write, “I don’t remember banks collapsing under Trump... but don’t worry guys it’s only a matter of time till Biden/media blames him for that too.” Trump Jr. then went on to blame Biden’s “out of control spending,” which he said caused record inflation and forced the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.

Trump signs Dodd-Frank rollback

Trump had pledged to “dismantle” Dodd-Frank, a law long targeted by Republicans, and touted the bill he signed as the first step in that process. While the bill will release dozens of banks from stronger Federal Reserve oversight, it falls well short of the president’s vow to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank.

Is It True That 15 Banks Failed During Trump's Presidency?
Those 15 banks failed between the time Trump was inaugurated and when he left office. All of them were smaller than the banks that failed in March 2023. Attributing bank failures solely to whichever political party is in power omits nuances concerning why the banks failed in the first place, and what lessons can be learned to prevent other banks from failing in the future.
