Trump berated Senate Republicans face to face on Wednesday
for allowing a vote to block his war in Iran,
further escalating a feud that has diverted GOP efforts to focus on election-year affordability issues
and brought much of the chamber’s business to a halt.
Invited by Florida Sen. Rick Scott to speak at a GOP luncheon in the Capitol,

A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections,
part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper in Boston effectively converts a preliminary injunction she issued a year ago,
in which she temporarily blocked many of Trump’s efforts to overhaul elections, into a permanent ban…
