"As far as the reasons for the #war, there have been many different reasons floated, but none of them, I think, have been very convincing," Sen. #RandPaul told #FoxBusiness host #MariaBartiromo on Tuesday. "Another statement has been made, well, they're a week away from a #nuclear weapon. You can take clips from the '90s all the way through the present of people arguing that they're a week away from nuclear weapons."

How each senator voted on an effort to rein in Trump’s Iran war powers

Republican senators rejected a war powers resolution on Wednesday that would have required the Trump administration to seek congressional approval before continuing military action against Iran.

CNN

The #Senate will take an initial vote Wednesday on blocking #Trump from ordering further strikes on #Iran, offering the first test of #Congress’s support for a campaign that Trump launched without its consent.
#Democrats — & Sen #RandPaul (R-KY) — are forcing a vote on #WarPowers over the opposition of most #Republicans…. Democrats are imploring a handful of Republicans to break with their party to end the conflict & reassert Congress’s control over declaring #war.

Senate rejects resolution to force Trump to end Iran strikes

Congress has voted on seven other war powers resolutions since June, all of which failed.

The Washington Post

The few expressions of pushback that have emerged have largely been futile, & instigated by #Republicans who are set to #retire at the end of this congressional session or cut rare maverick streaks, such as Sen #RandPaul & Rep #ThomasMassie, both Kentucky #libertarians who posted Justice #Gorsuch’s words admiringly on social media.

Trump's immigration team shown video of Alex Pretti's death at hearing

Sen. Rand Paul has challenged federal immigration officers over the shooting death of Alex Pretti and said the public has lost trust. On Thursday, Paul played a video from the Minnesota operation and said Pretti was retreating while officers pepper-sprayed him. Paul urged ICE and Border Patrol to admit mistakes. Other Republicans avoided criticizing the officers and focused instead on threats against agents. Democrats condemned the shooting and broader use of force by immigration enforcement officers. CBP chief Rodney Scott defended his officers, saying Pretti wasn't complying with orders. ICE’s Todd Lyons also said his officers are held accountable, saying that 37 cases have been opened looking into excessive use of force by officers.

10 years ago today, #RandPaul drops out of the Republican Presidential nomination race.

Sen. #RandPaul: Well, there were some pretty immediate conclusions on whether or not you're allowed to carry a gun at a rally which were incorrect and not really reflective of the Second Amendment or the law. So, I don't know who should do this. I think really if it were an independent group outside of the federal government would be better, actually."
