Dems press Congress to end what they call Trump's 'illegal war' in Iran

Senator Raphael Warnock posted on YouTube saying "I plan on forcing the Senate to vote to end this illegal war," and he urged Republican colleagues to join him. Democrats are demanding congressional oversight and a War Powers vote while activist groups such as Indivisible launched a "Tell Congress: End the Illegal War on Iran" petition that says US strikes have cost the lives of service members and thousands of civilians. NPR reports growing unease inside the military since President Trump began his second term over the administration's expanded use of force in the region. A forced Senate vote would formally put a War Powers resolution before senators and require recorded positions on authorizing or limiting future US strikes.
