Senate Passes Resolution Rebuking Trump100+ Former Judges Seek Todd Blanches War With Iran
Four Republicans broke ranks with Senate Republicans today and voted with the Democrats to pass a resolution directing Trump to end the Iran war.

The NY Times, Tuesday’s vote marked the first time since the enactment of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 that both chambers of Congress have approved a concurrent resolution directing a president to end a military conflict. Unfortunately, this isn't a binding resolution, but it does give Trump another black eye in the media which he will loathe. read more
