The newsletter reports that Trump is continuing military action against Iran as lawmakers’ efforts to limit his authority face likely defeat. It also covers a House ethics investigation of Rep. Tony Gonzales, who acknowledged an affair with a staffer, and other congressional and campaign developments.
The Senate rejected a war powers resolution largely along party lines, and the House was expected to vote on a similar measure. Rand Paul was the only Republican senator to support the Senate resolution, while John Fetterman joined Republicans in opposing it. The article also reports military developments and administration statements, alongside concerns about the operation’s endgame, evacuation efforts and casualties.
The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into allegations involving Tony Gonzales, who acknowledged having an affair with a staffer and said he would not resign. The newsletter also reports developments in Montana and Texas races, a proposed subpoena of Attorney General Pam Bondi, and a dispute over possible clemency for Tina Peters.
