President Trump’s failure to bring the US-Israeli war on Iran to an end and re-open the Strait of Hormuz is beginning to crack open the MAGA-Republican coalition on Capitol Hill. Before heading out of town for the Memorial Day weekend break May 19, lame-duck Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who lost his primary to a Trump-endorsed candidate, joined Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska to force a resolution to bring a War Powers Act debate to the floor. The measure passed 50-47.

Whether you are right or left and agree or disagree with the four Republican senators on the issue, you are invited for The Hustings’ next Talking With, Not At … Debate & Donuts at the Allen Theatre, Wednesday, May 27 at 6 p.m. EDT. The event is free, but if you can please register via info@allentheatre.com or editors@thehustings.news.
