In a stunning act of political sabotage, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is backing a dangerous war powers resolution pushed by RINO Rep. Thomas Massie that would tie President Trump's hands when dealing with the Iranian terrorist regime.

The unprecedented Democrat-RINO alliance seeks to force a House vote on legislation that would severely limit Trump's constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief to protect American forces and interests from Iran's escalating aggression in the Middle East.

This treacherous move comes at the worst possible time, as Iran continues to fund terrorist proxies, threaten shipping lanes, and develop nuclear weapons capabilities. By attempting to kneecap Trump's military options, Massie and his Democrat allies are essentially giving Tehran a green light to attack Americans with impunity.

Constitutional Crisis in the Making

What's particularly infuriating is how these Washington swamp creatures are using procedural games to undermine our duly-elected President's ability to keep Americans safe. The Constitution clearly grants the President broad powers as Commander-in-Chief, yet Massie seems more interested in scoring points with the anti-war left than protecting our troops.

"This is exactly the kind of deep state maneuvering that Patriots voted to stop in 2024," one Trump administration source told reporters. "We have enemies abroad and apparently enemies within Congress who want to see America weakened."

The timing of this resolution reeks of coordination with Iran's allies in the Democrat party who have consistently opposed strong American leadership in the region.

Remember, this is the same Thomas Massie who has repeatedly bucked the America First agenda and sided with isolationist policies that put our nation at risk. His willingness to partner with Democrats like Jeffries shows exactly where his loyalties lie – and it's not with President Trump or the American people.

Patriots need to ask themselves: Why are Democrats so desperate to protect Iran from consequences? And why is a supposed Republican helping them do it? The answers should terrify every American who values our national security.

Can someone explain what specific authorities this would limit? I want to understand the details before the media spins this further.

I'm so tired of Republicans stabbing Trump in the back every chance they get. Massie needs to be primaried ASAP!

100% agree! These RINOs are worse than the Democrats because at least we know where Dems stand.

Massie has always been a libertarian isolationist. He votes against defense spending and now this - completely out of touch with what we need to deal with Iran's threats.

Good point. His voting record on foreign policy has been questionable for years.

So disappointed in Massie - I actually voted for this guy thinking he was different from the establishment!

Same here. Time to find a real conservative challenger in 2024.

This is exactly why we can't have nice things. The deep state uniparty will do anything to prevent real America First leadership.

As a former Navy officer who served in the Persian Gulf, I can tell you Iran only respects strength. Tying the president's hands is dangerous for our sailors and allies in the region.
