- The House passed a resolution Thursday to rein in President Trump's military campaign in Iran, the second successful congressional rebuke of the war effort.
- Four Republicans — Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Tom Barrett (Mich.), and others — voted with Democrats, reflecting growing GOP unease with the conflict.
Why it matters: Four Republican defectors — Reps. Fitzpatrick and Barrett among them — give the resolution bipartisan weight beyond Congress' first Iran war rebuke. The rare GOP break on war powers signals the administration's conflict footing is losing legislative support even within its own party.
