Leader Schumer criticized Republicans for failing to hold hearings and promised weekly votes to force senators on the record.
Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic resolution to end U.S. military involvement in Iran for the fourth time. The 47-52 vote occurs as the conflict nears the 60-day War Powers Act deadline, prompting Democrats to plan weekly votes to pressure the GOP.

Center-leaning outlets like NBC News focus on Schumer’s pledge to force weekly votes against what he labels "Operation Epic Failure," while Fox News highlights the Senator's decision to allow arms sales to Israel despite his vocal criticism of the Iran conflict. Left-leaning Common Dreams frames the mass arrests at Schumer’s Manhattan office as a grassroots demand for him to move beyond "cheap talk" and actively block military aid.
