House Passes Democratic Measure to Halt Iran War Before Recess

🏛️ WAR POWERS — Democrats passed a halt vote then immediately left town for a month. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The measure has no Senate path and faces certain veto — its value is political, not operational. Democrats are creating a documented record before a month-long recess, insulating against "you did nothing" attacks if escalation peaks in August. With Thursday's Trump address imminent and 17 US dead, the vote forces Republicans to own the war on paper before constituents go home.
