House Turns on President Trump Ahead of Major Senate Vote

The mainstream media is having a field day with the headlines over the House of Representatives’ recent vote to curb President Trump’s war powers with Iran. NBC News wrote: “House votes to rebuke Trump over war with Iran.” And yes, that’s technically correct, but only four Republicans broke with their party.

Reps. Thomas Massie (KY-4), Warren Davidson (OH-8), Tom Barrett (MI-7), and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-8) sided with the Democrats to pass the vote 215–208.

It’s no surprise that Massie is one of the four since Trump was a vocal critic of him and endorsed his opponent, Ed Gallrein, in the primary. However, Davidson is a very conservative Congressman who views the conflict in Iran very differently from the President, citing the Administration’s failure to present a clear objective.

We’ll see what happens next as the Senate takes up the vote.

I have a brand-new ACLJ case to inform you about. We have joined the families impacted by school shootings in condemning the existence of a Roblox game that, according to ongoing law enforcement investigations, allowed users to simulate a first-person school shooting modeled after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Just to be clear, we’re not condemning any families that use Roblox. Our kids often use the platform, and we try to balance letting them play constructive games with their friends that use their imagination to build new worlds. But at the same time, it’s a bit of a Wild West, where there aren’t many rules or regulations.

In this effort to hold Roblox accountable, we now represent Harry and Leah Kaiser, whose daughter, Lydia Kaiser, survived the 2025 shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis after being shot during the attack. On behalf of the Kaisers, the ACLJ sent a letter to Roblox directly addressing the situation and demanding further action.

Senior Counsel for Litigation and Public Policy Benjamin P. Sisney joined the show to explain the First Amendment implications of this case:

This is about as serious a subject matter as it gets, and we’re talking about children’s safety and, of all places, schools. We’re all parents and so we have that extra layer of understanding. . . . For our audience, there is a lot of knee-jerk reaction here as well, of the First Amendment, and you should be able to do what you want and all that kind of stuff. And that’s great, I have a Libertarian streak. I can appreciate that. At the same time, a lot of these platforms had either, whether intentionally or not, it’s not mine to say, but they went around parents, and we stand strongly and always have here at the ACLJ, for parental rights. And these platforms are presenting a threat to that.

To have the opportunity to work with and to represent parents of a child who was shot and survived miraculously, in that shooting in August, in Minnesota, and to be able to link arms with them to proclaim this message, to demand sunlight and accountability, and to make sure this doesn’t happen again, is among the greatest honors.

While the ACLJ acknowledges that Roblox asserts it removed the game on February 6, 2026, we demand that Roblox affirm directly to the ACLJ and our clients that it has also diligently searched for and removed all such sickening and dangerous heinous content from its platform and inform us of the restrictions and guardrails it has implemented to ensure all such content will not exist on its platform again, in addition to any other steps it has taken to protect children.

Parents should not have to wonder whether a gaming platform marketed to children is hosting simulations of mass murder, especially of children. Companies that profit from children have a duty to protect them.

The ACLJ urges technology companies, lawmakers, and parents to work together to ensure online platforms do not become vehicles for glorifying mass violence or targeting vulnerable young audiences with harmful content.
