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.
Wisconsin diesel hit a record $6.11 and Green Bay gas reached $4.30. Tiffany's answer is repealing a state markup law worth about 50 cents. The thing actually moving the price is a war he has voted five times not to end.
Six roll calls to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran. James voted no on all six, the last on September 15. That week Michigan regular went from $4.31 to $4.89 and diesel set a record. Then he went on the radio to talk about the affordability crisis.

Donald Trump launched an unauthorized war with Iran that was supposed to last a few weeks.
Two weeks after promising to work 'every day that's on the calendar,' the Speaker canceled the last two weeks of September — then cut the final Thursday too, the day a vote on impeaching Pete Hegseth could have been forced. An Epstein files petition was left short of the 218 signatures it needs. The House has held a recorded vote on 72 of the year's 259 days, and has enacted 110 laws this Congress.
The Pentagon's inspector general says the Iran war has caused 'strategic inventory shortfalls' and cost up to $3.7 billion in lost equipment, including nearly 60 aircraft. The White House calls shortage claims 'false.' Troops sent CBS photos of wrecked U.S. bases, damage one said 'hasn't been communicated to the American public.'
Evans says Democrats' 'war on oil and gas' is why Coloradans pay more at the pump. AAA says Colorado gas was a cent below the national average a year ago, before the Iran war Evans supports, and is a nickel above it now.
