Senate Pushes War-Powers Check on Trump Over Iran Conflict

The Senate advanced a war-powers resolution 50-47 to force President Trump to end the Iran war unless Congress authorizes it, with four Republicans (Cassidy, Murkowski, Collins, Rand Paul) joining Democrats amid GOP absences; the measure moves to debate and a floor vote in coming weeks, part of a months-long effort by Democrats to curb presidential war powers despite an expected veto, as a fragile cease-fire and talks continue and a 60-day deadline looms.

Collins Breaks GOP Unity on Iran War Vote

Sen. Susan Collins bucked her party by voting with Democrats to curb the Iran war, marking the first Republican defections on the campaign and signaling growing GOP resistance as the 60-day War Powers clock looms; the measure failed, underscoring division over U.S. action in the Middle East, while the day’s feed also runs through a quick 45-day extension of surveillance powers, a Maxwell/Epstein interview update, a ban on Senate prediction-market trading, a dropped gun-charge case against a Booker staffer, and ongoing DHS funding and farm-bill developments.

Senate Fails to Move DHS Funding as Shutdown Persists

The Senate again blocked a measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security through September (51-46), falling short of the 60-vote threshold and prolonging a partial government shutdown about a month in. Democrats and Republicans remain far apart on ICE/CBP reforms, trading blame as security lines grow longer and TSA staffing struggles intensify; only Senator John Fetterman voted with the Democrats in favor. Proposals from the White House on reforms, including body cameras and other safeguards, have not yet broken the deadlock.

Senate Fails to Move DHS Funding as ICE Reform Talks Stall

The Senate couldn’t advance a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security in a 50–45 vote, extending a partial government shutdown with no clear end in sight as negotiators remain far apart on reforms to ICE and CBP. Democrats demand broad changes—warrants for arrests, independent investigations, and banning agents from sensitive locations—while Republicans and the White House have shown little movement. The lapse threatens DHS operations beyond FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard, with pay disruptions and actions like TSA PreCheck paused as talks continue.

House Poised to End Government Shutdown After Senate Approval

The U.S. Senate approved a stopgap funding bill to end the government shutdown, which now awaits House approval and President Trump's signature. The measure funds the government through January 30 and includes provisions for federal employee backpay and SNAP funding, but does not extend ACA subsidies, leading to ongoing political negotiations. The House is expected to vote soon, with further discussions on healthcare reform and full-year funding still pending.

Senate Faces Critical Vote to End Government Shutdown and Protect Federal Workers

The U.S. Senate is set to vote on a House-passed measure to end the 38-day government shutdown, with a new Republican strategy aiming to include long-term appropriations and extend funding beyond November 21, though support from Democrats remains uncertain amid ongoing negotiations and election impacts. Meanwhile, discussions about changing Senate filibuster rules to facilitate government funding are also underway but unlikely to be adopted.

Senate Advances Funding Bill as Shutdown Continues Amid Election and Political Tensions

The U.S. Senate is voting on a continuing resolution to fund the government amid ongoing negotiations, with discussions about extending funding into January and concerns over air travel disruptions due to staffing issues. President Trump announced SNAP benefits would be delayed until the shutdown ends, adding to the uncertainty. Senators are optimistic about resolving the shutdown this week, which has become one of the longest in history.

Senate prepares to vote on partial federal worker pay amid ongoing shutdown

The Senate is set to vote on the Shutdown Fairness Act, a bill proposed by Sen. Ron Johnson to pay some federal workers affected by the ongoing government shutdown, which has entered its 23rd day. While Johnson's bill would not end the shutdown, it aims to provide pay for troops and emergency workers, facing opposition from Democrats who argue it grants excessive discretion to the White House. The vote's outcome remains uncertain, and the shutdown is expected to continue into Monday.
