Some of the little things that don’t make the news really get under my skin.

The Trump administration, spooked by possible preparations by Iran to mine the strait,
Carried out strikes against 16 mine-laying vessels near the strait on Tuesday.
US Central Command posted a video showing munitions hitting nine vessels, most of which were moored as they were struck.
But the more potent threat remains the risk of a direct attack by Iran at scale

Waymo says it "designed its driving software to be able to automatically navigate intersections when traffic lights are out, but sometimes [it] will ask for a confirmation from remote human monitors that they are proceeding safely[...] The numerous lights that were out resulted in a surge in such confirmation requests and delayed its vehicles clearing intersections, it said."
These vehicles aren't autonomous. This is a performance they're putting on.

You see some effort on the part of Congress to assert itself in the realm of war.
But it failed predominantly on party lines
Republicans predominantly were supporting the president and whatever it happens to be that he would like to do.
Moderate Republicans and Republicans who are in less safe districts were and are more likely to at least stand up a little bit to the president,
but there’s a very small number of them.
