## Resource

Senate Republicans cracks in support for President Trumps war with Iran were evident as a Democratic bill was blocked, with Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski joining Maines Susan Collins and Kentuckys Rand Paul in voting no. The White House claims a ceasefire ends hostilities, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asserts the administration has authority to restart attacks without Congresss okay. GOP leaders acknowledge economic strain on Iran, while Democrats plan weekly votes and limits in military funding bills to keep pressure on Trump. The growing Senate split may force Trumps hand soon, as unease builds over who calls the shots in this conflict. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
