Senate Republicans just helped pass a war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s Iran war.
The vote was 50-48, with four Republicans joining Democrats to say Trump should not be able to keep dragging America deeper into military conflict without congressional approval.
This is a major bipartisan rebuke of Trump’s foreign policy chaos.

Analysis Summary
The Senate voted 50-48 on Tuesday to pass a war powers resolution directing Trump to halt Iran military action or seek congressional approval, with four Republicans (Cassidy, Collins, Paul, Murkowski) joining Democrats. This was the first time a war powers resolution successfully passed both chambers of Congress. However, the effort is largely symbolic and is not expected to become law — the post frames it as consequential without noting this limitation.
