This is major: Today, the Senate is going to vote on my War Powers Resolution to block Trump’s illegal war against Iran. If you don’t want another forever war in the Middle East, I urge you to make your voice heard ahead of this monumental vote.

BREAKING: The Senate just voted 52–47 to advance the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war on Venezuela. This wasn’t the final vote, just a procedural one, but every Democrat (even Fetterman!) and five Republicans voted YES. Now we keep the pressure on for next week. This vote sends a message: Over 70% of people in the U.S. say NO WAR ON VENEZUELA. Keep calling. Keep pushing. Hands Off Venezuela.

🚨 Senate blocks effort to halt Iran war Senate Republicans voted down legislation that would have required congressional approval for further U.S. military action against Iran, rejecting Congress’s first attempt to curb President Donald Trump’s war. ▪️ The War Powers Resolution failed 47–53, largely along party lines. Republican Rand Paul voted in favor, while Democrat John Fetterman voted against. ▪️ Republicans argued passing it during an ongoing conflict would send the wrong signal to Iran and undermine U.S. troops. ▪️ The vote came as the war spreads across the region and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the campaign could last up to eight weeks. ▪️ Meanwhile, six U.S. service members were killed in a drone strike in Kuwait over the weekend. A House vote on a similar measure is expected Thursday. Drop Site’s Julian Andreone caught up with congressman Rep. Ro Khanna who is sponsoring the measure in that chamber. Listen to their exchange below 👇

Just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's unfettered ability to wage war in Iran. It failed by one vote. One. Vote. Last time, the margin was worse. We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.

🔥🚨 BREAKING — The U.S. House has approved an anti-Trump War Powers Resolution aimed at restricting military action against Iran by a vote of 215-208. Cheers were heard on the floor following passage. Four Republicans joined Democrats in voting yes: Massie, Fitzpatrick, Barrett, and Davidson. The resolution is largely viewed as symbolic since President Trump has long maintained that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional.

Trump’s attacks on Iran are both illegal and unconstitutional. Congress alone has the constitutional authority to declare war. We must vote urgently on the War Powers resolution.

We cannot allow a wannabe King to drag us into an endless war in the Middle East. Republicans can find billions for bombs, but nothing to bring down your grocery bill or healthcare costs. Vote YES on the war powers resolution.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The House and Senate have PASSED an anti-Trump Iran War Powers Resolution... ...but it has absolutely **ZERO** binding powers against President Trump. "It's just a symbolic vote..." The Senate voted almost a DOZEN times on a meaningless vote, WHERE IS SAVE AMERICA?! Stop with the games!

Instead of focusing on the needs of the American people, Trump started a war of choice with Iran. I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to prevent more casualties, stop Trump from further destabilizing the Middle East, and stop this madness.

Trump’s reckless, unconstitutional attack on Iran launched in the middle of negotiations has already cost civilian lives and pushed the region toward wider war. Congress, not the president, has the power to authorize war. The American people don’t want another trillion-dollar disaster in the Middle East while families here struggle to afford healthcare and housing. Tell Congress: Vote YES on the War Powers Resolution. If you’re in DC, join us at the White House at 2 PM. Wherever you are, take to the streets.
