The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Americans didn't sign up for another forever war, and Congress has a constitutional duty to say so. Iran's nuclear ambitions have been defanged, so there is no excuse for open-ended combat with no objectives and no exit plan. Troops and their families deserve clear goals, real oversight and a path home.

Pro-Trump narrative

Seven House Republicans lined up with the entire Democratic caucus to kneecap the commander in chief in the middle of a fight. After $38 billion, a dead Khamenei and a regime finally on its heels, this is the moment to finish the job, not stage a symbolic surrender weeks before the midterms.
