Today every senator, every single one, will pick a side: Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted of forever wars in the Middle East? Or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war?
Trump laid into the five Republicans who backed the measure, posting on Truth Social shortly after the vote that "Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America." Collins, Murkowski, Paul, Hawley, and Young "should never be elected to office again," Trump added.
This is huge news. The Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, indicating that this bill, just passed the United States House by a 427 to 1 vote, now could pass the Senate as soon as tonight. In fact, that is what he just told reporters just moments ago. He said that it could move, quote, fairly quickly in the United State Senate, and that there would not be any changes because of the fact that it was approved by such a large margin.
