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.

    There’s one recurring theme and unifying driver for everything the right does, and everything that’s wrong with society. Empathetic impairment.

    They even export this shit, the current US Ambassador to the UK has suggested the UK spend less on healthcare and other social services and more on defence. This isn’t even a spend less point he’s making, spend the same or more bit less on helping people ffs.

    Why is the shitstain even giving budgetry advice to the UK?
