Iran fired missiles toward Israel today, threatening a fragile ceasefire and ongoing negotiations

“Tehran says it's in retaliation for Israel's striking Bay Route southern suburbs in Lebanon”
earlier, where NPR's Januaryer reports Israel is expanding evacuation warnings across parts of southern Lebanon. Israel hit the southern suburbs of Bay Route according to Lebanon's state media. The Israeli military said it was in response to Hezbollah targeting northern Israel, and the Israeli military has also issued new warnings for the major city of Tehran in southern
Lebanon. Here in Tehran, there's only one part of what was a thriving coastal city that is not under the threat of attack. It's the ancient part, near the ancient port, and it is full of thousands of displaced people.

“President Trump says acting director of national intelligence, federal housing and finance”

Senator Mark Warner is Vice Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He says he's concerned about what Polty may do.
What he has shown is a complete loyalty to do whatever Donald Trump wants, compromising private information about mortgages. That means he should get promoted to have the keys to the 18 intelligence agencies with our most classified information, and with an attempt by President Trump, the interfere in the elections.
My fear is this guy would completely go along with that. Speaking there, to ABC's this week, Polty is replacing outgoing, Tulsi Gabbard.

It also says Congress didn't consent to the towering arch overlooking the event space and
that no environmental review was conducted before the construction. The White House says the lawsuit is baseless.
