Bureau: Washington
From WMDs to nuclear threat to regime change to self-defense to 'take the oil' to ending without Hormuz -- six stated purposes in 31 days.
Day 46 of the longest DHS shutdown in history -- 50,000 TSA officers worked without pay while the government deployed troops to Iran.
Approximately 5,000 Marines from the 11th and 31st MEUs and soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division are deployed to the Iranian theater.
The House passed its third DHS funding bill on March 27, but Senate Democrats blocked it for the seventh time, extending the partial shutdown past 40 days.
