Politico documented how Trump's 'two to three weeks' timeline for ending the Iran war is a recurring promise that keeps resetting, now on its sixth stated war aim in 35 days.
House and Senate GOP leaders announced a two-track approach to fund DHS -- a 60-day stopgap plus a party-line enforcement bill -- but neither track has the votes.
