Republicans block resolution to take up the measure, which Democrats vow to bring up ‘again and again and again’

Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a measure that aimed to rein in Donald Trump’s power to wage war against Iran without congressional authorization.

The 53-47 vote against taking up the measure fell almost completely along party lines, with no movement from earlier this month when Republicans blocked Democrats’ bid to limit Trump’s war-making power in the days after the joint US-Israeli strikes, known as Operation Epic Fury, began across Iran.

The senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has led several war-powers efforts, was the only Republican to vote in support of the measure, while the senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who has emerged as a staunch supporter of Israel, was the only Democrat to break with his party and vote against the resolution.

First Nations leaders in Manitoba are seeking accountability after they say a 75-year-old elder was harassed and accused of stealing by two men at a Winnipeg Walmart store.

Elder Mary Laquette, who is from Lake St. Martin First Nation, said the men swore at her, took items from her, accused her of stealing and ordered her to leave the store.

"It's not right for somebody to treat me like that, when I wasn't even thinking of stealing," said Laquette, who has mobility challenges and uses a walker.

She uses the walker to store the items she intends on buying while grocery shopping.

A student in Rivers, Man., says he is stunned the small community was the site of a high-profile arrest after police say a teenage boy was planning simultaneous school attacks with another youth in Nova Scotia.

"I was surprised. Didn't really expect it. It's a small town. You don't really think of things like this happening in such a nice community," Cole Lelond, a Grade 11 student at Rivers Collegiate, said.

"It definitely worries me, now that I know things like that could happen in such a small community."

Police in Bridgewater, N.S., said they were alerted by international police agency Interpol and the FBI about online communications between a 15-year-old girl in that town and a 14-year-old boy in Manitoba. The pair were communicating about their desires to mount attacks at their local schools, Park View Education Centre and Rivers Collegiate, police said.
