Democrats push to curb Trump's Iran war powers before recess

House Democrats plan to force a vote this week on a nonbinding war-powers resolution aimed at constraining President Trump’s authority to use force in Iran, with debate expected today and a final vote on Thursday. They seek bipartisan GOP backing after Republicans helped advance a similar measure in June, though Speaker Mike Johnson could derail the plan by canceling votes for the August recess. The push comes amid broader war-funding discussions and other political updates in the feed, including Maine Senate fundraising and GOP-favored measures on fraud funding and a deputy OMB nomination.
