Three threads worth pulling from today: (1) Senate war-powers vote shows the same 3-vote margin as last month — coalition isn't growing. (2) $25B is operations only, not replenishment. (3) The Louisiana voting-map ruling will reshape redistricting before the midterms regardless of what happens overseas.

Selected passage

Senate Republicans blocked another effort to stop President Trump's war against Iran, voting 47 to 50 to reject a war powers resolution. Pentagon officials put a price tag on the conflict so far at $25 billion.
