Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are set to compel a vote on their War Powers Resolution, requiring congressional approval for military action against Iran.

This move comes in response to reports of a potential U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran, with a 90% likelihood, according to Trump officials cited by Khanna in his X post.

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) also weighed in, saying the majority of Americans do not support going to war. She added that Americans want affordable healthcare, good jobs, and world peace, according to her tweet.

Ro Khanna gets a lot of flack but at least he takes action on stuff like this, fruitless or not it’s important to get caught trying.
