The Senate voted 50-40 to prohibit an unauthorized military attack on Iran or its armed forces, with exceptions, in June. (The amendment failed because it needed 60 votes under the rules).

Below is the text of the amendment and the roll call:
No Democrat voted against the Udall amendment; Paul, Lee, Moran and Collins voted for it. Coons and 9 Rs didn't vote.

39 Republican senators sign amicus brief asking SCOTUS to consider overturning *Roe v. Wade & Casey.*

Brief calls the right to abortion in Roe unworkable.
supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1… via @GregStohr
@GregStohr 168 House members -- Republicans and a couple Democrats -- also signed the amicus brief.

Democrats I see at first glance:

Collin Peterson
Dan Lipinksi (abortion rights groups are already targeting him in a primary)
@GregStohr Senate Republicans who *didn't* sign the brief asking SCOTUS to consider overruling Roe & Casey:

Collins*
Murkowski
Sullivan*
McSally*
Capito*
Gardner*
McConnell*
Alexander
Graham*
Hawley
Perdue*
Rick Scott
Shelby

*Up for reelection

Looks like Democrats will try to make the lingering Trump-backed lawsuit seeking to overturn the entire ACA front-and-center in Senate races next year.

Manchin credits the suit in part with his reelection, but strategy didn't work everywhere: Hawley joined lawsuit & still won.
Issue could also put even more focus on SCOTUS, given ACA was saved twice before on 5-4 votes, and more seats could open up in next presidential term.
Congress could have nuked the suits with a single sentence tucked into a must-pass bill but -- hasn't.

Journalist and peace campaigner #JohnPilger says there was “not a shred of evidence” to suggest #Iran was responsible and nobody should trust the #Trump administration.

Mr #Pompeo, without presenting evidence to support his claim, said his allegations were “based on intelligence
, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation” and more.

President Donald #Trump repeated the claims today during an interview with Fox News, alleging that a video proves Tehran’s guilt.

The video is said to show an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps
boat approaching one of the tankers and removing an unexploded mine from its hull. But the ship’s Japanese owner contradicted the #US interpretation yesterday, saying footage showed something flying at the boat above the water line #Trump promised the US won’t “take it lightly.”

#Pakistan releases pictures from PC Hotel in #Gwadar, 3 terrorists killed but bodies held for identification. Max effort was made to capture them alive to know where they came from. Sea is likelier route but unconfirmed yet. #India #Afghanistan #ChabaharTerrorNetwork
There are only two places where the #Gwadar attack terrorists came from: Iran and Afghanistan. In both cases, #Indian representative offices in #Zahedan, #Chabahar, and #Kandahar are suspects. @AQpk

2. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

You do not have the permission of Congress to go to war in Iran. If you want a war in Iran, you have to come to us. It's the way the Constitution was written, and it needs to be very clear. reason.com/blog/2019/04/1…
