Trump hits a pivotal 60-day milestone in the Iran war

from Apple News Today

Today is the 60-day deadline for Trump to seek congressional approval for the war in Iran. Semafor’s Burgess Everett breaks down how Trump might skirt that deadline and whether lawmakers will intervene.  The House passed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security Thursday, ending the longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history. Bloomberg’s Erik Wasson joins to discuss the winners and the losers. Maine Governor Jane Mills ended her Senate campaign saying she lacked the campaign funds to continue. Patrick Whittle of The Associated Press explains what her departure means for the critical Senate race.  Plus, Trump abandoned his nominee for Surgeon General, the operators of Camp Mystic won’t seek a license renewal, and why Banksy’s latest work is causing a stir in London. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.
