Tim Kaine needs 4 Senate Republicans to cross over to pass his Iran war powers resolution next wk. He's got two (Rand Paul and Mike Lee). He's working hard on Todd Young and Susan Collins. And he's offering to make edits to the resolution to get other Rs. https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org

Of not: 2 of the 8 House Democrats who voted against the Iran war powers resolution are freshmen who served in the armed forces: Reps. Elaine Luria (Va.) and Max Rose (N.Y.). Ditto with Rep. Stephanie Murphy (Fla.), a former DOD specialist. https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org

Gaetz demolished most of the alarmist GOP attacks on Elissa Slotkin's Iran resolution: “This resolution offers no criticism of the president," he said. "As a matter of fact, this resolution doesn’t even say Soleimani’s name in it.” https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

From Gaetez: "If the members of our armed services have the courage to go fight and die in these wars, as Congress we ought to have the courage to vote for them or against them. It’s ludicrous to suggest that we are impairing the troops from doing their job by not doing our job." — PolitiTweet.org

The most notable vote for the House war powers resolution was Matt Gaetz, one of Trump’s most outspoken allies. His district includes the Pensacola naval air station. "I represent more troops than any other member of this body,” he said. “I buried one of them earlier today." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) was the lone member of Congress to vote against the post-9/11 AUMF. Only 1 in 4 House members today were in Congress back then. https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Our country has been at war since 9/11 but Congress hasn't vote to authorize the use of force since 2002. The 9/11 AUMF has justified deployments to Libya, Turkey, Georgia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, the Philippines, Cuba, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

House Democrats are highlighting their records of military service to make the case for the Iran war powers resolution. “Do not believe the fearmongering,” said Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), who served in Iraq in 2003 and Afghanistan in 2004 and 2005. https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Determined not to get Swift-boated, Democrats have decided to no longer just ignore what they see as self-evidently outrageous attacks on their patriotism. Getting Doug Collins's apology is an illustration of the value of Dems not looking the other way. https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The lead authors of the House & Senate Iran war powers resolutions have relatives in the fight. Tim Kaine’s oldest son, Nat, is an active-duty Marine infantry officer who has been deployed overseas multiple times. This blunts over-the-top GOP attacks. https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Elissa Slotkin isn't just a former CIA analyst who did 3 tours in Iraq before becoming asst secretary of defense & winning a House seat. Her son-in-law is an Army officer stationed at the al-Asad air base that the Iranians hit with 11 ballistic missiles. https://t.co/cbXtHJyloc — PolitiTweet.org
