U.S. SENATE BLOCKS EFFORT TO FORCE TRUMP TO END IRAN STRIKES WITHOUT CONGRESS' APPROVAL WITH ALL VOTES COUNTED

Senate Republicans once again failed to hold Trump accountable. Today's vote sends us down a dangerous path into a potentially endless war.

The American people don't want this war. Trump has no plan.

This risks the lives of more of our troops and will lead to more skyrocketing costs at home.
