No vote tonight on the funding deal because — and I am not making this up — Lindsey Graham was insisting on undoing this so he can personally enrich himself to the tune of millions in taxpayer dollars
Unanimous vote in the House to repeal provision letting Senators sue the US over the Jan 6 probe and get millions of dollars
Genuinely endearing how much the two chambers hate each other. A true Legolas/Gimli meme for House members against their true enemy, the Senate

So, as it happens, one of the biggest reasons rapid response networks have to be extremely cautious is so as not to endanger the people they're trying to help. Which strikes me as a thing worthy of erring on the side of extreme caution.

The movement of these particular military resources plus Rubio’s scheduled meetings at the White House tomorrow are strong signals of a *possible* US attack on Iran this weekend.
Supportive naval assets are already in place, so it could be a protracted operation IF it goes forward.
