The Senate has repeatedly voted down similar efforts to curb military action in Iran, indicating a consistent resistance to limiting executive power in foreign military engagements.

Senate Republicans voted in the early hours of Thursday morning to reject an amendment offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders that aimed to cut US prescription drug prices in half by mandating that Americans pay no more for medications than people in Canada and other wealthy nations.

Today every senator, every single one, will pick a side: Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted of forever wars in the Middle East? Or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war?

This is huge news. The Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, indicating that this bill, just passed the United States House by a 427 to 1 vote, now could pass the Senate as soon as tonight. In fact, that is what he just told reporters just moments ago. He said that it could move, quote, fairly quickly in the United State Senate, and that there would not be any changes because of the fact that it was approved by such a large margin.

The U.S. Senate passed Donald Trump's budget reconciliation megabill by the smallest margin: 51-50, with Vice President J.D. Vance breaking a tie.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by a narrow 51-50 vote, including a tie-breaking vote from Vice President J.D. Vance, amidst significant internal dissent.

"Tonight we saw a GREAT VICTORY in the Senate," Trump said in a social media post afterward. "Senate cleared a key procedural step Saturday as midnight approached."
