Tracking how Congress votes on key issues.
The Senate voted 47-53 to defeat a war powers resolution led by Sen. Cory Booker that would have restricted President Trump's authority to continue military operations in Iran without congressional authorization. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the only Republican to vote yes. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was the only Democrat to vote no. This was the third failed war powers vote, with hearings on the Iran war still not scheduled.
The Senate voted 51-48 on a motion to proceed to debate on the SAVE America Act. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was the only Republican to vote no. This was not a final passage vote -- the bill still faces a 60-vote cloture threshold it cannot clear with united Democratic opposition. The vote launched a marathon debate expected to end in a failed cloture vote.
The House passed H.R. 7744, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 221-209. The bill would fund DHS for the remainder of fiscal year 2026 with no conditions on ICE enforcement. Four Democrats voted yes; all Republicans voted yes. Democrats had demanded reforms including body cameras, ID requirements, and judicial warrants for ICE arrests on private property. None were included.
The Senate voted 51-45 on a cloture motion to proceed to H.R. 7744, the DHS Appropriations Act — falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. This was the third time the bill failed in the Senate. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was the only Democrat to vote yes. Democrats are holding firm on demands for ICE reforms including body cameras, identification requirements, a ban on masks during operations, and judicial warrants for arrests on private property.
The House rejected a resolution that would have required President Trump to seek congressional authorization before continuing military operations in Iran. The vote came six days after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Two Republicans (Massie, Davidson) voted yes with Democrats; four Democrats (Golden, Landsman, Cuellar, Vargas) voted no with Republicans.
The Senate voted 47-53 to reject a War Powers Resolution ithat would have required the president to obtain congressional authorization before continuing military operations against Iran. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the only Republican to vote yes; Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was the only Democrat to vote no.
This was a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. After federal immigration agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis, Democrats demanded reforms—including body cameras, a ban on agents concealing their identities with masks, and judicial warrants for arrests. Republicans refused. The bill could not get the 60 votes required to end debate, triggering a shutdown at midnight on February 14.
This is a bill to require documentary proof of citizenship—such as a passport or birth certificate—to register to vote, plus photo ID to cast a ballot. Non-citizen voting is already illegal and extremely rare. When Kansas implemented a similar requirement, it blocked over 31,000 eligible citizens from registering while catching just 39 non-citizens over 14 years. Research shows more than 21 million American citizens lack ready access to citizenship documents—disproportionately affecting people of color, young voters, married women whose names don't match their birth certificates, and low-income Americans. The bill now faces a steep climb in the Senate, where Republicans lack the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Majority Leader Thune declared the "talking filibuster" approach dead after Senate GOP confirmed the votes aren't there.
The first law signed in President Trump's second term, the Laken Riley Act requires mandatory detention of undocumented immigrants who are arrested for, charged with, or admit to committing theft, burglary, larceny, shoplifting, assault on a law enforcement officer, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury. It also allows state attorneys general to sue the Department of Homeland Security over immigration enforcement failures. The Senate passed it 64–35 with 12 Democrats crossing over; the House passed it 263–156 with 46 Democrats voting yes.
The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense 51-50, with Vice President Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. All 50 Democrats and Independents voted against. Three Republicans (Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski) also voted no, forcing the tiebreaker.
