The Senate Voted to Repeal Authorizations for the Use of Military Force Against Iraq

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz testified before the Senate HELP Committee on Wednesday. Lawmakers questioned him about the coffee chain’s union-busting activities that have been recorded and reviewed by the National Labor Relations Board over the past several months.

The Senate voted 66-30 across party lines to repeal authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq. The vote follows the 20th anniversary of the 2003 Iraq invasion, and its repeal would prevent presidents, current and future, from taking military action abroad without Congressional approval.

And in headlines: Pope Francis was hospitalized with a respiratory infection, the Manhattan grand jury investigating Donald Trump will go on a one-month hiatus, and the FDA approved the over-the-counter sale of Narcan.
