Mr. Thompson of California
Prohibit the use of funds to use military force in or against Iran.
Occurrences
I demand that Speaker Johnson re-convene the House and hold a vote to put every single member on record and to pass a War Powers resolution to stop this war.
Evidence
H.R. 8707, the No Funds for Iran War Act, was introduced in the House on May 7, 2026. The bill title states: "To prohibit the use of funds to use military force in or against Iran, and for other purposes." Mike Thompson (CA) is listed among the cosponsors.
GovInfo shows H.R. 8707 was introduced in the House on May 7, 2026, titled the No Funds for Iran War Act. The page lists Mike Thompson of California among the cosponsors and shows the last action as referral to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Armed Services, with no enacted funding prohibition on the page.
Assessments
Mike Thompson took a concrete step toward the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 8707, the No Funds for Iran War Act, on May 7, 2026. But the official record in the provided evidence shows only introduction and committee referral, with no floor passage, enactment, or operative funding prohibition. Because he remains in office and the measure is still only at an early legislative stage, the promise cannot be scored as delivered, but it is also too early to treat it as definitively failed.
Mike Thompson cosponsored H.R. 8707, a bill that directly matched the promise to prohibit funds for military force in or against Iran, which is a concrete legislative attempt during the current term. However, the evidence only shows introduction and cosponsorship, not enactment, floor passage, or an operative funding prohibition, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
The cited bill directly matches the promise and Mike Thompson cosponsored it during the same federal term, which is a concrete legislative attempt. However, the evidence only shows introduction and referral, with no enactment or other binding prohibition on funds for military force in or against Iran. A serious attempt without delivered policy should be scored as not delivered with effort credit.
