The Senate on Tuesday voted to block U.S. military action in Iran for the first time as the war approaches its fourth month.
The war powers resolution passed by a vote of 50–48. Sen. John Fetterman, again, was the lone Democrat to vote in the negative.
Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Dave McCormick, who was in his home state for a visit by President Trump to a Mack truck plant in the Lehigh Valley, was absent.
Four Republicans — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana — supported the measure.
I wish recall elections were standard. In NC state house, we had Tricia Cotham run as a Dem, promising to protect women’s right to choose etc. Got elected. switched parties and voted with the Republicans No recall elections or fraud options. Some protests, but she couldn’t be shamed. Then the Republicans gerrymandered the state, she got a new red district and Jeff Jackson lost his district by the new map. At least he won state AG. He’s been doing really good things for the state and country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricia_Cotham
