The headline refers to a series of congressional votes over President Donald Trump's authority to continue U.S. military operations involving Iran. Initially, both chambers of Congress delivered a notable bipartisan rebuke:The GOP-controlled House passed a war powers resolution with support from four Republicans, joining Democrats in an effort to limit Trump's ability to continue military operations against Iran without congressional authorization.A few weeks later, the Senate also narrowly approved a similar resolution (50–48), with four Republican senators joining most Democrats. It was the first time the Senate had approved such a war powers resolution, making it a significant political rebuke, even though the measure's legal effect was limited and Trump was expected to oppose it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-daily-brief--6679022/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes!

The headline refers to reporting based on the new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which describes behind-the-scenes episodes from President Donald Trump's second term. One of the most widely discussed revelations is that Trump reportedly considered placing a giant replica of his raised "Fight, fight, fight!" fist on top of a proposed 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, D.C. The book says he debated different designs, asked aides what should sit atop the monument, and even consulted French President Emmanuel Macron about features such as an observation deck.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-daily-brief--6679022/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes!

In a recent podcast appearance, Carlson said there was "no chance" he would support the Republican Party going forward, while also saying he would not support the Democratic Party either. He added, "I don't know what I'm going to do." His break appears to stem primarily from disagreements over U.S. foreign policy, especially the Trump administration's actions regarding Iran, and his belief that the party has moved away from what he considers "America First" principles. If your comment—"I don't know what I'm going to do"—means you're unsure how this affects your own politics, it's worth remembering that a public figure changing their position doesn't require you to change yours. Many people decide their views issue by issue rather than following any one commentator or politician. It can be useful to look at the policies and candidates themselves, regardless of who endorses or criticizes them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-daily-brief--6679022/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes!
