War Powers Vote Meets $80B Request

The Pentagon is asking Congress for roughly $80 billion for Iran war costs as the Senate voted 50-48 to adopt a House-passed War Powers measure aimed at limiting Trump's authority. The measure is symbolic and will not go to Trump, but it keeps pressure on the White House while Congress weighs the money request and Iran talks continue.
