These Republicans bucked the party on Iran, Ukraine votes 

Several GOP lawmakers joined House Democrats on Wednesday afternoon to pass a resolution to force the Trump administration to end its war against Iran and to advance legislation to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

Four Republicans crossed party lines to support the Iran war powers resolution, including Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Tom Barrett (Mich.) and Warren Davidson (Ohio). 

Massie co-sponsored the war powers resolution and has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration’s handling of this conflict. 

“The People’s House is sending a message: end this war,” he wrote in a social media post following the resolution’s passage. 

The GOP lawmaker, who has placed pressure on the White House to curtail its military operations against Tehran, was beaten by a Trump-backed challenger in Kentucky’s primary. 

Barrett cited economic concerns resulting from the Iran war in comments to reporters following the Tuesday vote. The conflict has effectively closed a major oil trading corridor, the Strait of Hormuz, sending global energy rates and U.S. gas prices........
