AXIOS (Andrew Solender) - Trump officials' briefing to Congress on Iran derided as "bullsh*t" by Democrats Wed Mar 4 03:55:18 2026

House Democrats left a Tuesday night briefing on Iran expressing even greater frustration towards the Trump administration than they had going in, with several lawmakers describing it as "bullsh*t." Why it matters: Democrats are full steam ahead on forcing a vote this week on a resolution that would constrain Trump from unilaterally waging war with Iran. - Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.), one of House Democrats' most vulnerable battleground-district members, said his thinking was "not at all" changed by the briefing and that he will be "supporting our resolution." - 'They're coming in and bullsh*ting us just like ... they did with Venezuela," said Rep. Dave Min (D-Calif.), another swing-district Democrat. - Even Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.),…

AXIOS (Andrew Solender) - Centrist Democrats push for softer constraints on Trump's war powers in Iran Tue Mar 3 20:53:54 2026

A group of centrist House Democrats on Tuesday unveiled a war powers resolution that would give the Trump administration more leeway on Iran than the measure their leadership is pushing. Why it matters: The effort reflects the extreme reluctance some hawkish Democrats have towards voting for the resolution introduced by anti-interventionist Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). - Unlike the Khanna-Massie measure , the centrist Democrats' alternative resolution would give the administration 30 days to end hostilities with Iran. - It would also allow them to maintain "a troop presence in the region for defensive purposes."
