HAT TRICK! No SLUSH fund, no $1 billion for the ballroom, & "House passes Iran war powers resolution in rebuke to Trump" [View all]

House passes Iran war powers resolution in rebuke to Trump

https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/03/politics/house-iran-war-powers-vote

The House passed a resolution on Wednesday to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran, a significant rebuke to Trump and his handling of the conflict.

Democrats have repeatedly forced votes to limit Trump’s war powers in both the House and the Senate – a campaign that has gradually picked up more GOP support in recent weeks.

The measure, known as a concurrent resolution, passed by the House Wednesday must be approved by both chambers, but would not go to the president to be signed.

The vote was 215 to 208 with Republican Reps. Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson crossing party lines to support the resolution.
