Trump BLOCKED by Senate as WAR SPIRALS!!!

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover the Senate's 50-46 vote blocking the $1.15 trillion NDAA, the first time in over a decade the defense bill has been stopped from even reaching debate. Senate Democrats refused to advance it until Congress addresses Trump's unauthorized war in Iran, now in its fifth month with 15 service members killed, billions spent, and no endgame. Schumer called it what it is: "The NDAA cannot become a permission slip for that recklessness." The War Powers Resolution gives a president 60 days of unauthorized military action plus 30 days to withdraw. Trump's theory: every time bombing pauses, the clock resets. Brian calls it a chess clock. Shant takes it to its logical extreme: a decade-long war fought in 59-day installments. Congress already passed a bipartisan concurrent War Powers Resolution in June directing Trump to end the war, the first time in history both chambers have done so. Trump ignored it. The administration formally notified Congress on July 10 that hostilities had "resumed," claiming a fresh 60-day window. Meanwhile, the Pentagon wants $1.5 trillion in total defense spending, a nearly 50% increase, plus an $80 billion war supplemental. Sen. Duckworth, a combat veteran who lost both legs in Iraq, said Trump "wants to rebuild Iran before he rebuilds America."
