Top Democrats Accuse Republicans of Becoming 'Gelatinous Blobs' on Iran War In a rare moment of candor, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Van Hollen recently accused their Republican colleagues in Congress of becoming "gelatinous blobs" who refuse to challenge Donald Trump's hawkish policies on Iran.
Their rebuke inadvertently highlights a far more insidious trend: the erosion of Congressional authority under Trump.
The standoff between the US and Iran continues to escalate, with Congress largely content to sit back and let Trump make the tough decisions. The latest developments in Gaza underscore this problem.
