“The Senate on Wednesday rejected a Democratic-led measure to halt the war in Iran, in a sign of durable Republican support for the military campaign even after the lapsing of the legal deadline for the Trump administration to receive lawmakers’ approval to continue it. The resolution failed by a vote of 50 to 49, with three Republicans joining nearly all Democrats in supporting the measure. The vote marked the latest setback for congressional Democrats, who have pledged to continue bringing the war powers measures to the floor even though each of them has failed.” [editor’s note: The war has been illegal from the start. The two CONSTITUTIONAL options were for Congress to declare war before it started, or impeach and convict Trump now for having illegally started it; the “war powers resolution” is just virtue/vice signaling – TLK] (05/13/26)
