Well, OK. But who is actually in charge over there? When the president of the United States speaks (or posts), people listen. And telling a city of 17 million that is currently under bombardment to immediately “evacuate” is a serious thing, even if the president’s handlers want everyone to ignore it.

Congress? Doing something? Probably not, but maybe! Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) said Monday that he will introduce a resolution today that would prohibit American involvement in the Iran-Israel war.

“This is not our war,” Massie wrote on X. “But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution.”

He got some immediate support from across the aisle. Rep. Ro Khanna (D–Calif.) is co-sponsoring the resolution, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) chimed in to say she was “signing on” to the proposal as well. Meanwhile, Sen. Tim Kaine (D–Va.) has introduced his own resolution in the upper chamber to curtail American involvement in the conflict.

These congressional efforts draw upon the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which Congress passed over the veto of then-President Richard Nixon in response to U.S. bombings in Cambodia. Imagine a legislature willing to do that! The law requires that presidents get approval from Congress before committing American forces—either a declaration of war or an authorization for the use of military force—and allows Congress to terminate any ongoing, unauthorized deployment. As Kaine’s office says, the resolution ensures “a public debate and vote in Congress as intended by the framers of the Constitution.”

That’s important. So, too, is the clarity and stability that would result from a clear congressional signal about America’s role in this conflict. The world clearly won’t get that from the president.

Speaking of presidential instability: The Trump administration is reportedly restarting workplace immigration raids just days after pausing them amid public outrage and a behind-the-scenes lobbying effort by farms and the hospitality industry.

As I wrote in Monday’s Roundup, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had told Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week to “hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels.”

That order was reversed on Monday, The Washington Post reports, with new guidance delivered to ICE field offices. “There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE’s efforts,” Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary for DHS, told the Post. “Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability.”

This looks like another example of Trump simply going along with the most recent thing that an adviser whispered in his ear. Last week’s decision to pause the workplace raids came after Trump met with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. Unsurprisingly, that decision did not sit well with Stephen Miller, who advocated in recent days for its reversal, the Post notes.

This on-again, off-again approach to policy has been a disaster when Trump has applied it to tariffs on imported goods. It is even worse when applied to actual human beings who are trying to earn a living.

And all of this is even more worrying because ICE does not seem to have much of a clue about who they are targeting for arrest and deportation:
