WASHINGTON — For the second time in as many weeks, a War Powers Resolution aimed at curbing President Donald Trump’s war with Iran failed to pass the U.S. Senate Thursday. The vote breakdown, 49-50, fell along familiar lines as previous War Powers votes, with Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Susan Collins of Maine supporting the measure.

    There needs to be a better way to oust a traitor to his party like this asshole. Waiting for the next primary is insane. I’m tired of representatives not representing the people who voted for them.

      the problem w taking this strategy is that there will always be a traitor and machin, sinema, lieberman, etc. prove it and it also ignores the root problem – the democratic party is captured by monied interests and the epstein class.

      Recalls are typically the answer, but his state doesn’t have that process.
