The new Congress is set to overhaul how Washington confronts China. The House China Select Committee could be downgraded or dissolved entirely—and Democrats plan to reset competition priorities across AI and economic policy.

In 2016, President Obama signed a Memorandum of Understanding to provide Israel with military aid through 2028 – aid that is spent right here at home and supports thousands of American jobs.
Israel faces extraordinary threats to its security and has been America's most important ally in the Middle East. Israel spends nearly four times as much on its own GDP on defense than the rest of our allies.
Donald Trump’s isolationism will only make America weaker on the world stage.
President Trump says the US is cutting off $4 billion in aid to Israel at the end of the year because "they don't need it."

New Action taken today by Treasury against Turkish service providers supplying sanctioned Iranian airlines.

Expect major appropriations battles coming. Democrats are likely to oppose funding the Department of Defense to continue kinetic operations against Iran without a coherent strategy. Short term continuing resolutions and government shutdowns will be prevalent if the administration does not address Congressional concerns.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday that Democrats would end the Iran war, pointing to the party’s new majority and Congress's power over federal spending on.wsj.com/4yYgaNO

The generational divide is massive:
Among older millennials and up... would have been a Dem trickle at best. Younger millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha, an epic blue tsunami.
Exit polling:
18-29 year olds: D+41
30-44 year olds: D+26
45-64 year olds: D+4
65+ year olds: D+5

While the results of the midterms are still up in the air, American voters across the country have made one thing clear:
They want SFRC to pass State Department authorization independently rather than constantly ceding authority to SASC and folding it into NDAA

Pennsylvania, even as these times have tested our will in previously unimaginable ways, you kept the faith — and not only entrusted me with the opportunity to continue serving as your Governor, but you did your part to help change the very trajectory of this country.

On Friday, 19 national security experts, including FDD's @CliffordDMay @MarkCMontgomery, urged Trump to enforce Russia sanctions, cancel the Russian gas deal, send Ukraine Patriot missiles, and keep Kyiv in peace talks.
This is how we secure U.S. interests and a lasting peace.

The latest cost estimate of the Iran war stands at $47.1 billion as of Oct. 16. That doesn’t include damage to bases, which the Pentagon separately priced at a minimum of $5 billion. That number could potentially be as high as $15 billion.

FACT: The annual funding Israel receives from the US amounts to less than one-tenth of 1% of the federal budget. Less than 1/10th of 1%.
FACT: That annual funding would cover only a few hours of federal health care spending. A few hours.
Yet politicians who specialize in scapegoating would have you believe that Israel is responsible for America’s affordability crisis.
Like every form of scapegoating before it, it is a dangerous lie.
