U.S. strikes on Iran drew criticism from Thomas Massie, who joined Rep. Ro Khanna in pursuing a War Powers Resolution to seek a congressional vote on the military action.

Left-leaning outlets frame the strikes as unauthorized and emphasize congressional limits. Center outlets cover the war-powers effort alongside Massie’s claim that the strikes distract from the Epstein files. Right-leaning outlets focus on criticism of Massie, questioning his Republican credentials and associating him with Democrats.
