Trump earns praise for Middle East role in fight against ISIS
Doyle McManus argues that while the White House debates health care, a broader war against Islamic State intensifies in Iraq and Syria. About 7,000 U.S. troops are in Iraq, 1,000 in Syria, and 2,500 in Kuwait with airstrikes rising and civilian casualties mounting. He notes Obama laid groundwork and Trump’s plan added troops and broader use of force, but warns of costly stabilization efforts and long-term commitments beyond defeating ISIS.

Senate filibuster reform urged after Gorsuch voting clash

It traces cloture history from 1917 to 1975, notes the two track system, cites McClintock and Barnett, and warns current practice weakens Congress in favor of the executive.
