🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 After eight attempts, the U.S. Senate has finally advanced a War Powers Resolution limiting military activities against Iran, passing 50-47. Key details: -Four Republicans crossed the aisle to vote yes: Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul -Democrat John Fetterman broke ranks to vote... against the resolution -This is the first time any Iran war powers resolution has cleared the Senate -Comes hours after Trump said he was "an hour away" from ordering new strikes -Trump previously called the War Powers Act "totally unconstitutional" The political ground is shifting fast. This comes as the Pentagon admitted the war cost $29 billion (real number closer to $1 trillion), and Iran's missile sites are 90% operational, the Senate finally found the spine to put a leash on the war. Whether the House follows is the next question. Whether Trump signs or vetoes is the bigger one. The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Tonight, for the first time in this war, a majority of senators said that power means something.show more

The senate has time to vote for this nonsense but can’t find the time for the SAVE act. Thule is a Democrat plant.

But here is the important detail. This was a procedural vote to advance the resolution. Not a final vote to end the war. The actual resolution still needs to pass a full Senate floor vote. Three Republicans did not show up. Cornyn, Tuberville, Tillis, their absence tipped the scales. If they had voted against it would have failed again. What you think?? Will trump use Vetos?

Not war. Hence the cease fire before it hit that threshold. Now we have a reset where we dont need congress. Ask Obama about it if you're confused.

Not really dude.. Cassidy is on a "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" tour right now. What he did is what a whinny little bitch does. Likely not to pass through the House but Trump isn't going to hamstring himself and their is no super majority to override the president. This is a statement vote - a double barrel middle finger. 🙄

This means absolutely nothing! It would still have to pass through the house and even then Trump could veto it.

This won’t change a thing. Senate and Congress have become a joke in the US. Trump truly believes he has all the powers and acts accordingly…

Trump will veto it anyway.

lol…..do you even know how the congress works? This was Cassidy acting out after being kicked out. That’s it. It means nothing Ayatollah

Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump is covertly whipping votes for this LOL - it will give him an out to this quagmire and the ability to exit while shifting blame for leaving before getting a deal to Congress.

These RINO idiots are all getting primaried in 2028!like Man-child Bill Cassidy. Four Republicans crossed the aisle to vote yes: Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul

This is the only sane off ramp. Trump gets to save face by congress actually doing its job as a legislative body and we get on with the economy

I’m okay with it. Let’s be clear. The US is only involved because of 🇮🇱 Bibi used him and the US military like a dog. But here is my solution for the Middle East. No one should have nuclear weapons or uranium for weapons in the Middle East. This includes Israel too. Make it fair for everyone.

Is this true?

Which means he will probably bomb Iran tonight. Just to give the Senate the finger.

The law is unconstitutional. Going nowhere.

You think this incursion costs $1 trillion so far, where is the backup for that?

Once again you blab about topics you know nothing about. US courts never enforce the war powers act and U.S. presidents have never been constrained by Congress in war.

Stop with the fake propaganda it’s not going nowhere. The exact same resolution is to pass the house. Trump is going to veto it and you can’t take out the veto power without 2/3 members of Congress, the entire Congress, which is not gonna happen.

It’s just political posturing. It doesn’t mean anything and it has no constitutional basis and they know that . Political theatre and that’s all they really know how to do well anyway. They won’t actually solve real problems cause they are all compromised and owned

It literally doesn't matter. They don't have the votes in the House and they don't have the votes to override the President's veto. Performative theater from the loser's table. Nothing more.

bill cassidy lost his primary and instantly remembered the constitution exists lmao

No, there’s not 4 traitor retards or the equivalent in the house. Just 4 POS RINOs in the Senate.

Thomas Massie better win tonight or Trump & his Israeli donors will come for those 4 seats next

Do you pull everything out of your ass? Or just those numbers?

@barnes_law Nothing Trump will sign, so….

One day not in a far distance Americans realize how they lost a opportunity to RESCUE themselves to live freely but didn't...

Congress has the power to "declare" war. The President has the power to MAKE war. There's a difference and that difference was cleared up in 1787:

fetterman crossing the aisle against his own party on this one tells you more than the 50-47 vote count ever could.

This changes nothing, literally it does not change anything at any level and is the equivalent to a strongly worded letter. I wish more people actually understood how this works.

Rand Paul needs to go with massie. F him.

When the 3 missing Republicans return it will be 50-50.

Well, this was a turn of events I wasn't tracking today. Passing 50-47 just hours after a strike threat is peak legislative theater. Can't wait to see how the market handles the headline liquidity if this actually makes it to a full floor vote.

@grok what official confirmation has there been that Iran still has 90% of their missile sites operational?

You want to limit the military in a war? I fucking hate your type. In a war, you are either all in or not fighting. There can be no in between.
