"Live from NPR News and Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
The Senate is expected to vote this afternoon on a resolution to pull back military action
in Iran.
“NPR, Sam Greenglass, reports President Trump ordered sustained strikes without authorization”
from Congress. "The war power's resolution is not expected to pass, but it's sponsored." Democratic Senator Tim Caine says the measure can be brought for a vote again. This thing evolves, and the virtue of a war power's resolution, it's not a one-and-done." The vote comes after top Trump administration officials briefed all lawmakers on Tuesday,
Republican Senator Josh Hawley initially backed a failed resolution to curb intervention in Venezuela, but said he is not likely to vote to limit the action in Iran at this time. "They reiterated, but there are no troops on the ground that have a minute and point it, so that's significant, which is a difference from what happened in Venezuela."
The similar resolution is slated for a house vote on Thursday, Sam Greenglass and PR News Washington. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Nomew's back on Capitol Hill today, this time testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, and a heated exchange Democratic
“Congressman Jamie Raskin repeatedly pressed Nome about her description of two U.S. citizens”
who were shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minnesota. "You didn't wait for the investigation, did you? You didn't wait for the evidence. You proclaimed that they were domestic terrorists at the time. Why did you do that?"
"And you didn't wait to attack our law and forth." "Why did you do that?" "We're going into a dangerous situation." "Why did you call them domestic terrorists?" "It's our ICE officers and our HSI officers that day risked their lives to protect that
scene, so evidence could be reclaimed, so it could be used in the investigation, because those violent rioters that were." "So you're proud of the fact that you called them domestic terrorists, is that what you're telling America?"
“When asked directly to apologize, Nome refused to walk back her remarks saying the investigation”
into the shooting is still ongoing. Her appearance comes a day after a bruising, Senate hearing where members of her own party questioned her leadership. The price of crude oil appears to be leveling off after a big jump earlier this week, and PR Scott Horsley reports on the economic fallout from the U.S. war with Iran.

After that jump came Monday and Tuesday, prices appear to be stabilizing with Brent Crude now trading above $80 a barrel.

That's according to a new study looking at how C level is measured, as NPR's Lauren Summer reports. As the climate gets hotter, oceans are rising. That's because polar ice and glaciers are melting, and because the water itself expands
as it gets warmer. A new study from Vaughan Ngan University in the Netherlands finds that scientific studies may be underestimating how much C levels could rise. The researchers found the computer models signed to use start with a current C level that's about 10 inches too low on average.
If that's corrected, those same models would show as many as 130 million more people potentially affected on coastlines if C level rises by three feet. Lauren Summer and PR News. British Columbia is planning to adopt permanent daylight saving time beginning November 1.
