Today's Senate vote on the Iran deal is a historic step toward preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The world is safer for it.

On its merits? NBC News’ Luke Russert notes, though, that the House did the only thing it could do.
On a party line vote, House just agreed on a non-binding expression, 244-186 that Adm has not been forthcoming re side deals b/t Iran&IAEA
