Senate Republicans continue support for Iran war despite midterm angst - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WASHINGTON — In the Senate's last vote on the Iran war before the midterm elections, Republicans largely opposed ending the conflict, even as it continues to drag down some of the GOP's most vulnerable candidates. The war powers resolution, which was already approved by the House of Representatives, failed narrowly, 49-50, during a Sept. 24 vote. Four Republican senators — Alaska's Lisa Murkowski, North Carolina's Thom Tillis, Kentucky's Rand Paul and Maine's Susan Collins — joined with Democrat
Republicans rally around Susan Collins amid pay-to-play scheme allegations - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WASHINGTON – Maine Sen. Susan Collins' Republican colleagues swiftly came to her defense the day after the news outlet ProPublica published an investigative story that laid out evidence of alleged involvement in a pay-to-play scheme involving a defense contractor. The story, which came out on Tuesday, Sept. 22, said that records and emails showed the FBI sought to launch a sweeping investigation examining Collins' interactions with a top donor who won lucrative federal contracts.

The Pentagon estimated that
Why one Senate Republican says 'classic Mitch' has returned - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans' three-month headache about Mitch McConnell's health seems to have subsided – at least for now. In the days since the Kentucky lawmaker's return to the Capitol, they've defended him in the halls and expressed gratitude that his condition has improved. A fall in June, followed by a bout of pneumonia, kept the 84-year-old off the job for much of the summer and complicated the voting math for Senate Republicans on key legislation. On his way back into the Senate cham
House takes 'small step' to shield Americans' energy bills from data centers - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives on Sept. 15 overwhelmingly passed bipartisan legislation to push state regulators to shield consumers' electricity bills from spiking because of nearby AI data centers. With a vote of 417-3, lawmakers sent the Ratepayer Protection Act over to the Senate. The measure's approval was arguably the most significant action Congress has taken to address the growing angst among Americans about the impacts of artificial intelligence models – and the energy-guzzli
