There is plenty of bad news in U.S. politics today, but the Senate’s passage of this resolution to limit Trump’s use of armed forces in Iran is good and significant. Even though it does not legally bind Trump, it is an assertion of Congress’s authority and a sign of how unpopular Trump’s war of choice is. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/23/trump-iran-war-powers-resolution

1. 15.57 EDT Senate for first time approves a war powers resolution in a rebuke to Trump over Iran conflict The Senate has for the first time approved a war powers resolution seeking to curb US military action against Iran, as lawmakers warily watch Donald Trump's efforts to resolve a conflict that the administration launched on its own and now needs Congress to fund. This was the 10th time the Senate had tried to stop the war, and the outcome, on a vote of 50-48, was a stunning turnaround from past efforts. While the resolution is largely symbolic, and does not fully carry the force of law, it reflects the growing concerns from a number of GOP lawmakers in both the House and Senate over both the war and the deal Trump has struck with Iran to end it. The House approved the resolution earlier this month.
