House set to vote on War Powers resolution to halt military action against Iran
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.
nlstuever86But 208 House Republicans still lack the intestinal will to rein in a corrupt, racist, war mongering, rogue president 😒
Kevin Flanagan70Massi in his DGAF era till he is replaced should be interesting.
Middlerage30Anyone 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 🟧 💜💙30Hard to believe there weren’t 10 Republicans crossing the aisle.
Chris Strider14And when he breaks it?
suep3000.bsky.social10So what? He ignores them.
grassfedsteelhead.bsky.social9Can it pass the senate?
rscates.bsky.social8The only four with a spine.
🖕🧊 Livvie’s Jam 🖕🧊7Truth Social is gonna be lit tonight! 🔥🔥🔥
Resistbot7The House just did its part. 16,000 people are pushing the Senate to finish the job and end this war.
LaurieKafka5I am so happy that this was some good news!!! What an unexpected surprise!
Diana B. is a Ukrainian Canadian5Donald Trump needs to be reined in, never mind the war.
Trust Science 📎4His war has impacted most world economies in a disastrous way All people are feeling it at the pump and supermarkets Starvation will be a major result of lack of fertiliser It’s like the way he handled Covid but the death count will be worse I couldn’t hate one person more PURE EVIL
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.
Cami 🐸Truth Matters💙 Good Troublemaker 💙 🚫DMs No Bio=No Follow3Will it matter in the end though? The 🍊 madman does what he wants, regardless.
motownmama22.bsky.social3It should have been all Republicans! Should have been a unanimous vote to stop a madman who clearly has no idea what he is doing.
A Man Has No Name 🇺🇦3Can’t wait for the coward-who-never-served-in-chief to whine about it.
Anita Ridlehoover3I read Trump will veto it.
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
🇺🇸🇨🇿🇺🇦⚫3Tie the rest of them to the war, to inflation, to hunger, to lack of medical care.
addiah.bsky.social3Secretly, trump is very happy. It gives him an off ramp.
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.
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
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.
vomitgoblin.bsky.social2Does this actually do anything or is it one of those, "We passed this so they SHOULD cooperate, but we have no way to enforce this," kind of things?
🪶deedles 🫘2Tokenistic at best. We are still engaged in an illegal war in Iran. The US government is still a terrorist organization both domestic and abroad. It will stall in the senate and be vetoed by trump when and if it ever gets out of congress. But it's good theatrics for Dem leadership
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 Ball54...would it be excessive to fly to dc just to watch that happen.
Scott Johnson25The series finale of America has everything
ftp-coward.bsky.social14Hilarious to think that Vance has a career to destroy.
Alexander Chee12That would be sweet at least, out of all of this.
Alder Cheems5His career was already DOA after this
Sneaky T4Americans literally don’t vote based on senate voting records.
8647 POTUS fucks kids2Oh Spencer, you & I both know this vote will harm him none. Republicans haven’t paid any price for any of their thousands of crimes. He has changed his name four times. His religion twice. He wears makeup. His wife is foreign and Hindu. Must I keep going? Pay a price? He’s VPOTUS in spite all that
For four months, one man decided we were at war. Today, the House said no. We passed a war powers resolution ordering our troops out of Iran unless Congress votes to keep them there. Not the President alone. Congress. The people’s representatives.
Mike Levin69That is not a technicality. That is the whole point. Article I is clear. The power to send this country to war belongs to Congress. The framers built it that way because they had just escaped a king who could march a nation into war on a whim. They never wanted that power in 1 set of hands again.
Bill from Jacksonville19I'm sure it will have as much impact as the law to release the Epstein files.
tubbyturbo.bsky.social11The war powers act already set a limit & put the legal onus on the executive branch to end deployment without legislative approval How will this be enforced any differently Fix the War Powers Act so ‘reasonable assumption of hostilities’ is clearly defined & not easily subverted Ceasefire my ass
cath71813.bsky.social9Good luck with that. IF the Senate passes it, oompa will veto it or ignore it. Impeach the entire cabinet, SCOTUS and get rid of the traitors in Congress.
El Asador Aleman9The House is like 4 months late.
Citizen Jones5But the Secretary of State insisted today we were not at war..
Crocodile Spanky 🇦🇺🍍🍤🐨🦘🍺🫖🐊4Bit by bit, piece by piece.... grab your country back from this mad man's clutches.
Tim the Terrible3I thought that was how it’s supposed to work anyway, but what do I know.
Armageddon Army the GSD3It's meaningless. Worthless. And utterly pathetic that congress is so controlled by this criminal fascist rapist grifting pig that nothing will actually happen to stop him.
🪶deedles 🫘3Tokenistic at best. We are still engaged in an illegal war in Iran. The US government is still a terrorist organization both domestic and abroad. It will stall in the senate and be vetoed by trump when and if it ever gets out of congress. But it's good theatrics for Dem leadership
1980Survivor2That would be All Democrats and 4 "other". I hope more "other" will come around!
Lucy’s Mom2I appreciate the thought Mr. Levin, I do. However, for it to mean anything it has to be legally binding and enforceable. It is neither. What are yall prepared to do to reign in the mad king and his drunken court of miscreants, cosplaying as a cabinet? How are you going to force it to stop?
#BigBeautifulCON ❌👑2This is a start. Just a start. Now keep going. Hardly something we should be applauding wildly for. This is what Congress is supposed to be doing FFS.
too little, but not too late, just a little too late.
Kenia🌻2This felt forever. Unfortunately, Congress has a lot of AIPAC funded democrats too.
Jenni2Nice speech, but the illegal war isn't stopped yet, is it?
the Brain2Cool, Mike. So who’s gonna enforce it? Last i checked tubby isn’t abiding by court orders or laws. Do you have a plan for that or are you just trying to look tough for the cameras before the midterms?
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 Clymer346Massie 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.social17Long 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.
DeMooper7Even 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.
healinghands65.bsky.social5I 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?
Dan 🔵🌊🇺🇸4Fetterman will play the villain again in the Senate, but maybe he'll be overcome. We'll see.
David4That is great. Now let’s hope that the Senate does the right thing. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/06/for-...
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 Detroit5And 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 Darr5After he vetoes it I hope every single one of you immediately files for impeachment.
In a huge blow to Trump, the House just passed the War Powers Resolution... 215-208, which will require Congress' say over the Iran war! This is amazing! And it shows that Trump's grip on the Republican party is slipping.
IyamCanadian 🇨🇦6Seems likely to me that Trump is using this, intentionally, as an exit strategy. Because he doesn't know what else to do about the mess he made. There are no heroes in this story.
Michael Lux 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺4This is amazing that they finally found their spines. Hats off to the crossover votes from Massie, et al.!
knhps.bsky.social4He can veto it unfortunately.
Jesus, w/new name, is now God. I’m his son3Don’t matter. We got a king now
Look For The Helpers3It’s a great step forward for sure. It still has to pass the Senate, of course. Let’s hope it does.
joshea31.bsky.social2But will he care or follow it is the next question
BREAKING: House Republicans jump from ship and pass a war powers resolution to stop Trump's illegal war with Iran.
re-balance.bsky.social4Four. A whole fuckin four of 'em. All r's are garbage. Every one. Every effin one.
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.
