Senate Democrats Split on $50B Iran War Supplemental as 250+ Groups Oppose Funding

Senate Democrats are fractured over an anticipated $50B+ supplemental spending request for the Iran war, with Sen. Angus King warning that approval could constitute de facto war authorization. Sen. Fetterman remains the sole Democrat supportive of additional funding. More than 250 advocacy groups have signed an ACLU-led letter opposing the supplemental, arguing the war is illegal absent congressional authorization under the War Powers Act.
