While most congressional Republicans and some pro-Israel Democrats are praising President Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, pockets of opposition are already emerging in both parties.

Why it matters: The objections center on the argument that Trump needed congressional authorization for such a provocative use of military force, with one House Democrat pushing for a vote to restrict further unilateral action.

"We need to immediately return to DC and vote on [Rep. Thomas Massie's] and my War Powers Resolution to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war," said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.).

Massie (R-Ky.), a libertarian who often breaks with Trump, said in a post on X reacting to the strikes: "This is not Constitutional."

What happened: Trump announced in a Saturday night post on Truth Social, "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran."

1. That's what Bush Jr. said after "shock and awe" night.

What did they find there in the way of nuke capability? Not a God Damn thing and they knew they wouldn't. With Trump he'll lie about finding nukes ready to launch and his POS lemmings in the Republican party will back him up till the sun burns out.
