What's dominating the conversation is the escalating tension with Iran. Trump is threatening to bomb civilian infrastructure and "blow up everything" if the Strait of Hormuz isn't open by Tuesday, according to Axios. This comes after a U.S. F-15 was shot down and both crew members were rescued in an "air armada" operation. The White House is signaling a deal is possible, but the rhetoric is ratcheting up pressure on Secretary of State Vance, who is leading negotiations. Separately, Trump is also looking to circumvent Congress to pay all DHS workers, a move that will surely draw fire from Democrats.
