In a Republican-led Congress defined by deference to President Donald Trump, there's a small but steadily growing cohort who have found themselves more willing to break with the White House. Although the president maintains a firm grip on Republican voters, the expanding club could hinder his agenda on everything from the Iran war to immigration funding at a moment when his party holds a tenuous majority on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is the newest member of the club. Just days after losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, Cassidy on Tuesday reversed himself on legislation involving the war in Iran and voted with Democrats to rein in U.S. military action.
“The way our Constitution is set up, Congress should hold the executive branch accountable,” he told reporters the day before.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas could be next after Trump endorsed Ken Paxton, Cornyn's rival for the Republican nomination in next week's runoff.

>>“The way our Constitution is set up, Congress should hold the executive branch accountable,” he (Cassidy) told reporters the day before.
Odd that he never made those statements during the Biden or Obama administrations....
Also, these are not the droids you are looking for.
All the Ukrainian attacks on the Russian oil industry are done by drone, often from over 1,000 miles away.
Israel can take out Iranian refineries, storage tanks and tanker loading facilities, and probably will.
Trump may decide to let them do so.
Classic LSM tripe, wining is losing for Republicans, losing is winning for democaps.
“The way our Constitution is set up, Congress should hold the executive branch accountable,” he told reporters the day before.”
Sounds like a Dim speaking with a forked tongue.
He says “hold the executive branch accountable” but what he really means is he sees his duty primarily to OPPOSE the executive branch (when that executive is from his own party, less he think he’s not doing his job).
GOPe dorks are so funny. They actually think voters respect and are with them.
Farthest thing from the truth.
Cassidy et al.: Vote like you’d like a political future.
OH SEE folks. the medias are so (not biased my butt) and on the side of the majority of the citizens who duly elected this president. now they are making up some stupid name like YOLO. MAN, shun the leftwing hating medias and think for yourself. You’ll be better informed and not live in so much misery as these leftwing medias and those in the Demonrat party hating on us all daily.
On Cassidy’s watch in Congress:
They spied on on my campaign
Two hoax impeachments
Wuhan Coup flu stolen election
Targeted lawfare
Any in Congress during this time are lucky roll call isn’t being taken in Gitmo.
AP via MSN -trash.
Butt hurt vindictive babies.
if you want to dip your toes in the corruption river, you need to say what they tell you to say
who is they? communists
YOLO.
You Only Lose Once?
AP wet dream
YOLO - You only lost once.
Sorry. Hadn’t read through the comments before posting.
Further proving the voters were right to kick their asses to the curb.
They will have more loser company soon. John Cornyn.
So sick of these guys staying in these seats for so long. Good riddance and don’t let the screen door hit ya!
