House set to vote on War Powers resolution to halt military action against Iran
The U.S. House will vote Wednesday on a War Powers resolution to halt U.S. military operations against Iran, directly challenging President Donald Trump. The measure would revoke current authorization for those operations and require congressional approval for further military action. House Speaker Mike Johnson halted the same floor vote two weeks ago, but a handful of Republicans are poised to join Democrats this time. If it passes, the resolution would limit presidential war-making authority and could force an immediate pullback of U.S. operations in the region.
BREAKING: The House has passed a War Powers Resolution aimed at reining in Donald Trump’s war in Iran in a 215-208 vote. Four Republicans broke with Trump and voted with Democrats: Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Tom Barrett, and Brian Fitzpatrick.
nlstuever67But 208 House Republicans still lack the intestinal will to rein in a corrupt, racist, war mongering, rogue president 😒
Kevin Flanagan61Massi in his DGAF era till he is replaced should be interesting.
Middlerage28Anyone think the GOP folks voting for this are doing it to give Trump an excuse to retreat from Iran because he’s not allowed to spend more money?
Rebel Della 🟧 💜💙24Hard to believe there weren’t 10 Republicans crossing the aisle.
Chris Strider13And when he breaks it?
grassfedsteelhead.bsky.social9Can it pass the senate?
suep3000.bsky.social9So what? He ignores them.
rscates.bsky.social8The only four with a spine.
🖕🧊 Livvie’s Jam 🖕🧊6Truth Social is gonna be lit tonight! 🔥🔥🔥
Resistbot5The House just did its part. 16,000 people are pushing the Senate to finish the job and end this war.
LaurieKafka4I am so happy that this was some good news!!! What an unexpected surprise!
Mammothtruk4four? only four? I never thought I would see the day anyone in congress would willingly hand over their own power to any president. and now nearly all GOP congressmen are actively trying to do so.
Diana B. is a Ukrainian Canadian4Donald Trump needs to be reined in, never mind the war.
CA-NC-GA Lady3I’m grateful. Sadly getting 🍊💩 to abide is a whole different matter. Also, this finally gives him an off ramp. He can blame the 4 Rs & Dems
BigFatSammiches3Now put the senate on record with a vote. Fettershrek will vote against
knock knock ❌👑 and 🍊🤡3So a resolution is not binding, but it sends a message. Let’s see what the Senate has to say. If the Senate approves, does this mean the President will be obligated to ask Congress for a War Powers Act authorization? If so, it will give Congress a say in the way forward with Iran.
brewsfan1.bsky.social3Ah maybe a conspiracy theory but trump can't figure out how to get out of his mess so let Congress give him an exit ramp so he can scream they didn't let me.... bizarre but it's trump🤓🤓🤓
Lord Farquaad3Sad to see Corryn STILL gargling Trumps ball despite losing his job.
A Man Has No Name 🇺🇦2Can’t wait for the coward-who-never-served-in-chief to whine about it.
Michelle Cooper2Massie is using his 7 months wisely, I see 😄
birgerolof24 out of 200+ who manage to think outside their own wallet
🇨🇦BeefSupreme🇨🇦2Annnnnd dead in the Senate. Don't come at me if this isn't how it works, because it always seems to be how it works.
retired-n-happy.bsky.social2Well-deserved rebuke of such a lawless and disordered president..
Iputadollariniwinacar2This is why Rubio tried to say the war is over This resolution goes around that stupid argument by directing trump to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran
🇺🇸🇨🇿🇺🇦⚫2Tie the rest of them to the war, to inflation, to hunger, to lack of medical care.
addiah.bsky.social2Secretly, trump is very happy. It gives him an off ramp.
Dana Knows Insanity When She Sees It. 🥊🐸2I know we are excited about 4 Republicans joining Democrats tonight, and it is very good news! We just need the number to grow higher than 4.
HappyCamper222What is this? Good news? oh my!
Joshua Peabody2It will now go the senate where the GOP will likely kill it
So you’re saying there’s a chance to force Vance to destroy his career by casting the tie breaking vote to continue the Iran War?
James Ball34...would it be excessive to fly to dc just to watch that happen.
Scott Johnson9The series finale of America has everything
Alexander Chee7That would be sweet at least, out of all of this.
ftp-coward.bsky.social5Hilarious to think that Vance has a career to destroy.
Sneaky T2Americans literally don’t vote based on senate voting records.
U.S. House votes to adopt a war powers resolution to effectively end the War in Iran, 215 to 208. Four Republicans voted for it: Tom Barrett (MI-07), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Warren Davidson (OH-08) and Thomas Massie (KY-04). 1/2
Charlotte Clymer271Massie is exiting Congress. Barrett and Fitzpatrick are in swing districts. But Davidson is in a safe GOP seat, so that's progress. All Democrats voted for it. Even Jared Golden extracted his head from his ass on this one. Now, it goes to the Senate.
bluemanforever.bsky.social12Long overdue. Now someone explain to the families of our fallen soldiers and the families of the murdered Iranian children. This war was and is an illegal and gross manipulation.
DeMooper4Even if the Senate also votes to stop the war, how is it enforced? It seems like until appropriations for the war are somehow stopped, they can just do what they want.
Dan 🔵🌊🇺🇸3Fetterman will play the villain again in the Senate, but maybe he'll be overcome. We'll see.
healinghands65.bsky.social2I am guessing Trump directed the Republicans to provide a slim majority to end the war so he can save face. Now the real question is why the fuck was he allowed to do it in the first place?
War powers resolution against the orange felon to rein in his brutal murderous destructive war in Iran has finally passed in the House 215 to 208. Huge loss for fascist republicans.
SirGeekALot5I'll celebrate when the Senate doesn't block it.
Whimsy3He wanted this. Now it isn’t his fault.
Tina Webb3208 willing to let him declare war as he sees (un)fit. What a disgrace.
EcoHacker2A win for sane people everywhere Republicanism is a Rape Culture mind virus They spend their time supporting pedophiles while daydreaming about bringing back slavery and how they want to change school textbooks so their own families crimes can be more effectively buried It's a genocide cult SAD
The House just passed a War Powers Resolution in a bipartisan rebuke of Trump’s illegal war in Iran. It is a war that was not authorized by the Congress or consented to by the American people. The Senate should take it up immediately and put an end to the conflict.
A Voice in Detroit4And just a couple hours ago, John Thune announced that any mention of that hideous Epstein Memorial Ballroom is dropped from the immigration funding bill. No appetite for it, and no Democratic votes.
Jason Darr3After he vetoes it I hope every single one of you immediately files for impeachment.
BREAKING: House Republicans jump from ship and pass a war powers resolution to stop Trump's illegal war with Iran.
Sarcasmo Ultra BLAM!4Y'know, long ago, when people did illegal shit, like kill citizens far away on a whim, glom onto money with a weaponized DOJ, and feeding contracts to family members..they'd be arrested. Not just chastised.
re-balance.bsky.social3Four. A whole fuckin four of 'em. All r's are garbage. Every one. Every effin one.
