Obama orders up to 450 more US troops to Iraq
President Obama announced deploying up to 450 additional American troops to Iraq to bolster the Iraqi Army and Sunni tribal forces in the Ramadi drive. The move, described as an escalation not a strategy shift, aims to blunt Islamic State gains while avoiding a full combat force. Critics say it does not go far enough and raises questions about Sunni inclusion and congressional authorization.

Islamic State seizes Mosul a year ago soldiers face grim choices
Iraqi security forces collapse as Islamic State advances a year after Mosul fell. Many soldiers and police chose to repent or run, with mass killings filmed for propaganda. The gain sparked a broader sectarian divide, displacement, and a stalled U.S. air campaign amid economic strain and fading prospects for change. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proclaimed a caliphate in Mosul, while U.S.-led strikes reached about 1,900 targets.

Congress Faces Health Law Subsidy Crisis If Court Voids Aid
Administration officials warned Congress would bear the burden if the Supreme Court strikes down federal health care subsidies. Sylvia Burwell said the president will reject restoration plans and urged states and governors to determine subsidy availability. The dispute centers on subsidies tied to the federal HealthCare.gov exchanges and the GOP push to condition relief on broader repeal provisions. The issue looms over next year’s elections with Republicans holding many governorships and Senate seats in the hardest-hit states.
