The Senate version already failed, with Fetterman once again casting the only Democratic vote against imposing restrictions on Trump’s Iran war.

Two government officials told The Intercept that the joint U.S.–Ecuador military action won’t just be a one-off raid.

Israel’s plan to strike Iran would put American lives at risk, the secretary of state said. Rather than confronting Israel, the U.S. joined their war.

Top Democrats close to AIPAC stick to criticizing Trump’s process failures — but primary candidates are calling for a referendum on the war itself.

The Iran war shows that Trump is loving his military interventions — but they are never what he claims them to be.

“This is an introduction of U.S. forces into hostilities. It absolutely triggers the 48-hour notice requirement.”

With Congress not reconvening until next week, there’s a chance the vote might come after attacks start.

The U.S. military’s intelligence sharing came as part of a new “counter cartel” task force focused on the U.S.–Mexico borderlands.

The violence in Mexico is fueled by U.S. guns and money. Killing a cartel boss won’t change that.

The amount of military forces gathering near Iran dwarfs even the monthslong build-up before the U.S. coup in Venezuela.
