The US House narrowly rejected a war powers resolution to curtail President Trump's military actions against Iran, following a similar defeat in the Senate. The 213-214 vote highlights deep partisan divisions over executive authority and the ongoing conflict.

Outlets across the spectrum highlight Representative Thomas Massie as the only Republican to vote for the resolution, though they differ in their focus on his motivation. Common Dreams emphasizes Massie's role in a failed progressive effort to curb presidential authority, while Off The Press frames the vote as the GOP "sticking with Trump" against a lone dissenter. MS NOW specifically notes Massie's leadership as the lead Republican co-sponsor of the measure.
