Congress passes war powers measure for first time, breaking with Trump over Iran

The vote marks the first time that both chambers of Congress have approved a concurrent resolution instructing a president to end a military action since the War Powers Resolution of 1973 was enacted. A concurrent resolution expresses the sentiment or will of Congress, as opposed to other forms of legislation that go to the president to be signed into law. In 2019, Trump vetoed a joint resolution that called for the removal of armed forces from hostilities in the Yemeni civil war. Middle East analyst Laura Blumenfeld called it “more of a slap on a wrist than a handcuff, because

Breaking Down Jarrett Stidham’s Broncos Future—Writing on the Wall

The Denver Broncos currently have about $29.5 million in cap space with all their draft picks signed.

But while the Broncos have a lot of cap space, there’s always the chance they could create more by parting ways with certain players. That could be especially true if the Broncos believe certain lower-cost players are worth keeping instead of more expensive veterans. One case could be
