Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) and House Democrats supported the passage of a war powers resolution to end President Trump\u2019s costly war with Iran. For over 90 days, the Trump administration has waged war on Iran without a defined exit strategy or congressional authorization, dragging our country further into Trump\u2019s self-declared war of choice and a deepening financial crisis.\n\n\u201cThis vote reaffirms the Constitutional principle that only Congress can declare war. Four Republicans joined House Democrats to pass legislation to end Trump\u2019s war in Iran and rein in this president\u2019s risky, expensive war,\u201d said Congresswoman Adams. \u201cWhile families in North Carolina are struggling with climbing costs in grocery stores and gas stations, the Pentagon is estimating that the war in Iran has already cost an estimated $25 billion \u2014 money that could be better spent on SNAP, federal education and job development programs, or medical research. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) costs $7.3 billion annually. We could triple the number of children that program cares for with the amount of money this administration has wasted on this war.\u201d", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:11:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-adams-house-democrats-force-vote-end-trumps-costly-and-deadly-iran"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.1377713419497013, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
