A daytime barrage of at least 25 rockets hit Camp Taji north of Baghdad injuring five coalition members and two Iraqi soldiers. Iraqi forces found seven launch platforms in Abu Azam area and 24 missiles ready to launch. The attack followed a deadly Wednesday strike that killed a British soldier and spurred U.S. airstrikes against Kataib Hezbollah amid rising Iran-backed militia tensions.

Why Americans werent given a payroll tax cut

Officials say a full payroll tax cut would drain Social Security funds, cost about 90 billion dollars monthly, and total around 1 trillion annually, risking benefits for retirees and the unemployed. Democrats argue focus should be on paid sick leave and direct aid rather than permanent tax breaks.
