US senators fail to halt Trump’s arms sales to Israel
Resolutions blocking two deals with West Jerusalem have been rejected by the chamber despite wide support from the Democrats The US Senate has voted against two resolutions blocking American arms sales to Israel put forward by independent lawmaker Bernie Sanders. The resolutions received support from some 75% of Democrats during the votes on Wednesday, but still failed to pass as the Republicans almost unanimously rejected them. Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats, was looking to stop the $295 million sale of bulldozers and the $151.8 million sale of 12,000 general purpose 1,000-pound ‘dumb’ bombs to West Jerusalem. Both resolutions ended up being voted down by 59 to 40 and 63 to 36, respectively. In previous years, arms sales to Israel enjoyed strong bipartisan backing, but Democrats have begun to shift their stance since West Jerusalem began its military operation in Gaza in response to the deadly October 7, 2023 incursion by Palestinian armed group Hamas. Read more Belgium seizes military equipment bound for Israel Before the vote, Sanders argued that the deals didn’t fit the Foreign Assistance Act and the Arms Export Control Act as Israel has been striking Gaza and Lebanon with American bombs and using bulldozers to demolish Palestinian and Lebanese homes. Despite the failure of his resolutions, the Vermont senator later expressed satisfaction over the fact that “Democrats are beginning to listen to the average American who is sick and tired of spending billions of dollars to support [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu’s horrific wars when people in this country can’t afford housing or health care.” The Republicans claimed that blocking weapons deliveries to the Jewish state could harm the US in the conflict with Iran, which Washington and West Jerusalem attacked jointly on February 28. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch warned that this could embolden Tehran and “send the message that the US is prepared to leave our ally Israel vulnerable.” More than 72,000 people have been killed and over 172,000 others injured in the Israeli attacks in Gaza over the past three years, figures from Palestinian health authorities suggest.

Hegseth faces impeachment calls over Iran war
House Democrats have filed six articles of impeachment against the US secretary of war accusing him of abuse of power, war crimes, and other wrongdoing A US lawmaker has introduced six articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over actions tied to the war on Iran. The resolution, submitted earlier this week by Democratic Representative Yassamin Ansari and backed by eight Democratic co-sponsors and several anti-war groups, outlines six charges, including violating the oath of office, endangering US service members, and committing war crimes. One of the articles focuses on alleged violations of the laws of war. Hegseth is accused of authorizing or failing to prevent operations that resulted in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure in Iran, including a school in Minab, where at least 175 people – mostly children – were killed in a strike on February 28. The Pentagon has reportedly determined that US forces carried out the strike based on outdated intelligence but has yet to apologize. Another set of allegations is tied to the so-called ‘Signalgate’ leak, as well as claims that Hegseth obstructed congressional oversight. Lawmakers argue that he withheld full information on military operations from Congress, limiting its ability to conduct proper supervision. The resolution also accuses Hegseth of abuse of power and the politicization of the armed forces. It alleges that he used his position to influence military decisions for political purposes and undermined the principle of nonpartisanship in the armed forces. In addition, he is accused of actions that damaged the reputation of the US and its military forces. Read more Trump faces impeachment push over Iran conflict “Only Congress can declare war,” Ansari, the first Iranian American Democrat in Congress, said on Wednesday in a post on X, adding that Hegseth’s “actions demand immediate removal.” Axios, which first obtained a copy of the seven-page impeachment resolution, noted that the measure has virtually no chance of advancing in the current Congress, where Republicans control the House of Representatives and can block any effort to bring the articles to a floor vote. The initiative is reportedly being viewed as an effort to intensify political pressure on one of President Donald Trump’s most senior cabinet officials, even if it is unlikely to result in Hegseth’s removal from office. Democrats have recently pushed, unsuccessfully, to impeach former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and former Attorney General Pam Bondi. Commenting on the latest step, Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson told the news outlet: “This is just another Democrat trying to make headlines as the Department of War decisively and overwhelmingly achieved the President’s objectives in Iran.”

‘Rapists should be hung’ – US lawmaker
Andy Ogles’ statement follows the resignation of two fellow members of Congress amid sexual misconduct allegations A Republican member of US House of Representatives has called for rapists to be hanged, but insisted he wasn’t talking about fellow Congressmen who resigned over allegations of sexual misconduct. Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Tony Gonzalez announced on Monday they will step down from Congress following reported accusations by former staffers. “Rapists should be hung, period. No questions,” Andy Ogles told influencer Benny Johnson when asked about the allegations against Swalwell, insisting, however, that he wasn’t talking about the California Democrat. “I don’t want the Secret Service to come, I’m not talking about Eric Swalwell, I’m not threatening a member of Congress,” he added. Last week, media reports detailed accusations of sexual assault by a former aide against Swalwell and cited three women who accused the lawmaker of separate instances of sexual misconduct. Swalwell, first elected to Congress in 2013, denied the allegations, claiming they were part of an effort to derail his campaign. “They are absolutely false. They did not happen,” Swalwell said in a video on X on Friday, posting later that he was “deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.” Read more Two US congressmen to resign over sex scandals Gonzalez, a Republican from Texas, suspended his re-election campaign last month after it was revealed that he had an affair with a staffer who died by suicide in 2025. Text messages said to have been extracted from her phone and provided by her widower to media appeared to show Gonzales soliciting sexual content from the woman, and her replying he was going too far. He recently confessed to the affair. Amid the fallout, former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Monday she believed misconduct in Congress was more widespread than publicly known. “It’s a lot more prevalent. I think there’s more members of Congress that are guilty of things similar to Congressman Swalwell and Congressman Gonzales, and we just haven’t seen them, basically, get caught,” Greene, who left Congress in January, told CNN. Greene also suggested the resignations may have followed private discussions between House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat, describing it as a possible “one-for-one” arrangement.

Trump faces impeachment push over Iran conflict
Congressman John Larson has accused the president of waging an “illegal war,” saying the US leader is becoming “unhinged” Democratic congressman John Larson has filed articles of impeachment against US President Donald Trump over his actions connected with the Iran war. Larson, a Connecticut Democrat, said on Tuesday he had filed 13 charges, accusing Trump of waging an “illegal war” and escalating threats against Iran that endangered US security and American lives. He added that Trump is becoming “more unhinged” and “more unstable by the day.” “Donald Trump has blown past every requirement to be removed from office. And it’s getting worse,” Larson said in a statement. Larson also pointed to threats, including “open the Strait … or you’ll be living in hell,” saying such remarks “foreshadow war crimes.” He said Trump was “unable or unwilling” to faithfully execute his duties. Read more Trump walks back threat to destroy Iranian civilization About 70 Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chris Murphy, have called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, arguing he is unfit to serve. The amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to declare a president unable to perform his duties, triggering a transfer of power. “They have an obligation to put patriotism over politics and invoke the 25th Amendment,” Larson said. Some Democrats intensified the call. Representative Jim McGovern said the administration should “immediately invoke the 25th amendment,” while Congresswoman Lauren Underwood said Trump was “unstable, dangerous, and unable to function as Commander in Chief.” Read more Mission accomplished? The costly reality behind the US rescue operation in Iran The move came as Trump paused planned strikes on Iran for two weeks late on Tuesday to pursue a “workable” 10-point proposal from Tehran. He reversed course following an appeal from Pakistani negotiators, hours after warning that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if the Strait of Hormuz stayed closed. US strikes had already hit key Iranian infrastructure, including bridges, rail lines and a train station, as well as the strategic oil hub on Kharg Island, with civilian casualties among the over 1,500 deaths since late February, according to reports. Republicans and Trump supporters defended the strikes, saying they were aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Tehran has denied that accusation, insisting that its program was purely peaceful. Impeachment would require a majority vote in the House and a two-thirds vote in the Senate to remove the president.
