Top House Democrats on foreign, defense, and intelligence policy committees demand Secretary of State Marco Rubio provide an immediate briefing on the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding.

House tensions escalated as Rashida Tlaib pushed a Lebanon war powers resolution, sparking a cross-partisan clash over Rep. Max Miller's remarks labeling Hezbollah as terrorists.

House Democrats secured the necessary signatures to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a package of Russia sanctions and billions of dollars in Ukraine aid.

House Democrats failed to pass a third war powers resolution to constrain President Trump's authority to wage war with Iran, losing 213 to 214. Centrist Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) and libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) voted against and with the measure, respectively, while some lawmakers shifted their votes compared to previous attempts.
