Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly. The Senate is expected to vote today on a war powers resolution that seeks to limit President Trump's ability to carry out U.S. military operations against Iran. It's unclear if a resolution would pass in either the House or Senate. NPR's Claudio Grisales reports on what Senate Majority Leader John Thune is saying about the ongoing U.S.
and Israeli attacks.
Thune says the president has broad authorities under Article II of the Constitution when it comes to defending America's national security interests.
I think the president was perfectly within his rights to take the steps that he took. I think it was a necessary step in order to protect American lives.
However, Democrats and other critics of the war say the president should have consulted Congress, not just notified them of the plans. Thune is countering those arguments, saying the effort will eliminate a threat that could have cost countless numbers of Americans' lives. The senator also acknowledged while many questions remain about what comes next, that it's largely up to the Iranian people.
Claudia Rosales, NPR News, the Capitol.
The House is expected to vote on a war powers resolution before the end of the week. The U.S. and Israel struck multiple targets in Iran again today, including ones in the capital, Tehran. Iran has sent drones and missiles into Israel.

Chapter 2: What recent developments are occurring in U.S.-Iran relations?
In Texas, State Representative James Tallarico has been declared the winner over Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in the state's Democratic Senate primary. Tallarico will face the winner of a Republican primary runoff between incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn and the state's Attorney General Ken Paxton in November. Blaise Gainey with the Texas Newsroom has more.
Tallarico took the stage right after midnight to let his supporters know that while every vote must be counted, he was confident in the outcome. That was before he was declared the winner. He used that time to drive home the reason he ran for the seat.
This is a people-powered movement to take on this broken, corrupt political system. This is truly a campaign of, by, and for the people.
Texas Democrats haven't won a statewide race in over 30 years, but polls show Tallarico could break that losing streak, depending on who he faces in the primary. After he was officially awarded the Democratic spot, he sent out a press release saying, quote, we're about to take back Texas. For NPR News, I'm Blaise Gainey.
In North Carolina's Senate primary, the state's former governor, Democrat Roy Cooper, will face off against the former chair of the Republican National Committee, Michael Watley, in November's general election. The Associated Press called the race for Cooper and Watley in each party's primary. Cooper and Watley are seeking the Senate seat currently held by Republican Tom Tillis.
He's not seeking re-election. This is NPR News. The Trump administration says it's decided to detain all unaccompanied migrant girls who are also pregnant in one shelter in South Texas. As Mark Bentancourt reports, some government child welfare officials are questioning that move.
More than a dozen pregnant minors, some as young as 13, have been placed at the shelter. At least half became pregnant due to rape. Their pregnancies are considered high risk because of their age and require specialized care. Health experts worry that neither the facility nor the region can provide it. Annie Leone is a nurse midwife who's worked in the area.
She says since Texas all but banned abortion, obstetric care has suffered.
It's not good to be a pregnant person in Texas. So to put this community in Texas and then in one of the worst health care regions of Texas is not good.
