Kuwait Detained Journalist After Comments on Iran War Images, Watchdog Says

We live to fight another day! A victory tonight—as we killed a backroom deal Johnson and the WH cut to extend FISA authority for five more years. Dropped in the middle of the night.

We killed it on the Floor. But, it will be back. So we must keep fighting!
