House Speaker Mike Johnson said congressional approval is not necessary for the conflict between the United States and Iran, disputing claims that the military operation is a war.
Over two months into the conflict, Johnson has maintained that the operation is "not a war," arguing that the 60-day deadline enforced by the War Powers Resolution would not apply to this scenario.
'There's nothing Congress can do.'
Without congressional approval within the 60 days, the resolution would mandate the president to withdraw military forces from the war.
"I don't think we have an active, kinetic military bombing, firing, anything like that. Right now, we are trying to broker a peace," Johnson said Thursday. "I would be very reluctant to get in front of the administration in the midst of these very sensitive negotiations, so we'll have to see how that plays out."

"We're policing the Strait of Hormuz and trying to get a peace," Johnson added. "The president and the administration are moving as aggressively as possible. There's nothing Congress can do to move that along any further, so we'll see how it plays out."
Although Johnson and other Republican allies have refrained from calling the conflict a war, President Donald Trump has frequently referred to the operation as a war.
"The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties," Trump said on February 28, the day the United States first began striking Iran. "That often happens in war."

A movie about fashion models that joked about not eating to stay thin has completely reversed course for its sequel.
"The Devil Wears Prada 2" is the follow-up to the fangirl favorite from 2006, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. This time around, however, Hathaway did not want the reality of the fashion industry to deter anyone from seeing her film.
'I just know that this movie is for everyone.'
Skeleton crewThe controversy started when Streep told fashion rag Harper's Bazaar that the models she saw in Milan during production were not only "beautiful and young," but also "alarmingly thin."
"I thought that all had been addressed years ago," Streep told the outlet. She added that Hathaway made the producers promise then and there that the models in the new movie would not be so thin.
"She made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal!"
"She's a stand-up girl," Streep stated.
Body doubledThis put the onus on Hathaway to explain herself to fawning activists during subsequent interviews. At the premiere in New York City, Hathaway told Variety that she had noticed "beautiful models on set," but "a lot of them were more traditionally model-sized."
"I thought the scene would be so much more enjoyable for the audience if we had just a wider range of bodies on display, because all different shapes are beautiful," Hathaway claimed.
The 43-year-old explained that she asked her producers if they thought the scene would be "stronger" if it had "a more inclusive approach to sizing."
At her behest, the producers allegedly made the changes within an hour.

In an interview with "Good Morning America" on Monday, Hathaway continued her campaign by saying she wanted to correct any "misinformation" about getting thin models fired "because of the size inclusivity."
"That just didn't happen. Nobody lost their jobs. In fact, it created more jobs," she claimed. "It was just about making sure that so many different body types saw themselves in a moment in the script."
Amid the hosts' gushing over her progressivism, Hathaway asked, "Isn't it better when you see so many different types of bodies up there with that?"
Original thin"The Devil Wears Prada" had a $27.5 million opening in June 2006, eventually totaling over $326 million against a $35 million budget. The sequel seems football fields away from its original tone, however, which poked fun at the absurdity of models starving themselves.
One memorable scene included Emily Blunt's character telling Hathaway's about her lack of eating in order to stay thin.
"You look so thin," Hathaway's character says at an event.
"It's for Paris. I'm on this new diet," Blunt replies. "It's very effective. Well, I don't eat anything, and when I feel like I'm about to faint, I eat a cube of cheese. ... I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."

Size queens
In another red-carpet interview with Etalk, Hathaway again remarked that she relished the ability to utilize "a more inclusive approach to beauty standards" in the new film, repeating the term "traditionally sized."
The actress was met by yet another journalist eager to speak about the issue, revealing that she has been a "size inclusivity advocate for 15 years."
Hathaway boasted to the reporter that she "had seen that there were a lot of traditionally sized models in our movie, and I just know that this movie is for everyone."
Hathaway even spoke on behalf of her producers, saying they were "so embarrassed" when they realized there was a serious lack of body diversity on the movie set. Now moving the timeline to two hours, she said the producers quickly brought in more girls for the scene.
In what seemed like a borderline-forced happy-go-lucky attitude, the actress concluded that everyone feels "happier" when everybody feels "included."

On Thursday morning, Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced that he is escalating his ongoing investigation into dozens of businesses in North Texas suspected of H-1B visa fraud.
'I want to thank Sara Gonzales for her efforts in exposing H-1B fraud across the state.'

These companies were added to the investigation into suspected fraudulent practices, including the maintenance of "so-called 'ghost offices' as a scheme in which businesses falsely represent active operations in order to sponsor foreign workers."
“I will not allow the H-1B program to be abused by bad actors seeking to use it as a loophole for allowing foreign nationals to invade Texas,” said Paxton. “My office will continue working to uncover and put an end to fraud within the H-1B program.”
Paxton has demanded financial statements, documents identifying all employees working for these companies, records detailing the specific products or services provided, and communications related to company operations, according to the press release.
On X, Paxton gave Gonzales a shoutout for her work: "I'm taking legal action as part of my investigation into nearly 30 North Texas businesses suspected of H-1B visa fraud. I want to thank @SaraGonzalesTX for her efforts in exposing H-1B fraud across the state."
"Thank YOU for taking action!" Gonzales replied.
Gonzales celebrated the announcement on social media: "AMAZING NEWS! Ken Paxton is taking action on my H-1B investigations!"
The host of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered" reminded her viewers that Qubitz Tech Systems LLC was featured in her first series. She added that she and her team had come across the other companies in the course of their investigation and handed the information over.
