The Senate has voted seven times on an Iran War Powers Resolution, and the latest, held on Wednesday, came closest to passing. The bill failed in a 49-50 vote, with three Republicans — Senators Rand Paul (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), and Susan Collins (ME). Just one Democrat has consistently opposed the resolutions: Sen. Jon Fetterman (PA).

      If it wasn’t Fetterman, it would have been someone else. It’s a ruse, a tactic called the “rotating villain.” The Dems were never going to let it pass.

        Oh yes, Democrats will always fill the ranks to meet the Republicans where they’re needed. Even so, Fetterman should embrace his bad thoughts.
