#1 is the best, #50 is the worst
The House passed a resolution ordering U.S. forces out of the Iran war in July. The Senate finally voted on it September 24 and it failed 49-50. Fourteen senators on our report cards voted no — including Jon Husted, who said two days earlier the war 'needs to come to an end as quickly as possible.'
They're deleting Trump from their websites, calling for an end to his Iran war, and telling him his immigration crackdown went too far. Every one of them who was in Congress voted for Trump's budget bill, and every House member among them voted for $70 billion more for ICE.
On April 16 a war powers resolution failed 213-214. On May 14 the next one deadlocked 212-212, and a tie fails. Either one needed exactly one Republican to switch. Only Thomas Massie, who has no page here, voted yes both times.
