1. Where’s the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio?
2. Is there a homeland security/CT plan given recent focus on mass deportations and downgrading of CT?
3. Did the “2 weeks” backlash push him or was it a done deal?
4. Did he notify Congress at all?

Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.
