Episode Details

The House narrowly passed a resolution to rein in the President’s war powers in Iran, only for the Senate to block it — as the U.S. grapples with rising casualties, soaring gas prices, and a fractured ceasefire. Eighteen American troops are now dead, including two young service members from Texas and Hawaii, with Iran’s strikes in Jordan and Iraq sparking renewed violence. Oil prices surged past $100 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz saw disrupted traffic, while the war’s cost climbs into the billions. Surprisingly, some Republicans backed the House’s restraint effort, hinting at growing GOP division — while Senate Republicans’ absence may have swung the vote. The debate also reignited questions about the War Powers Resolution’s constitutionality, as families mourn and the Pentagon reports hundreds injured — all amid escalating economic and political fallout.
