U.S. ANTI-WAR SENTIMENT OVER IRAN BEGINS: HELL NO, WE WON'T GO!

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

In an incredibly embarrassing moment for Trump, the House just passed a resolution demanding U.S. forces be removed from Iran and the war ended, with seven Republicans crossing the aisle to help make it happen.

The final vote was 220 to 204. Every single Democrat present voted yes. They were joined by seven Republicans willing to break with their own party and their own president over a war that Congress never actually voted to authorize.

This is the third time the House has passed a resolution like this since the war began. Lawmakers have used the 1973 War Powers Resolution, a Vietnam-era law giving Congress the authority to force troops out of unauthorized hostilities, again and again to try to rein in a war Trump started without ever coming to Congress first.

It's not legally binding. Trump doesn't have to sign it, and it doesn't automatically bring troops home. But it is, once again, a direct bipartisan rebuke of a war that has already cost American lives and cost families at the pump.

Eighteen U.S. troops have died since fighting broke out in February. Nearly 500 have been injured, with 100 of those injuries coming in just the past two weeks. Meanwhile, gas and diesel prices have hit record highs, with American households paying well over $100 billion more collectively since the war began.

Trump has previously dismissed these war powers votes as "meaningless," accusing Republicans who cross over of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Seven Republicans just told him otherwise, on the record, with their votes, for the third time.
