There has always been a Uyghur presence within ISIS/Al Qaeda in Syria. Them and the Uzbeks were previously used a human bomb delivery vehicles.

The unanimous consent was to end debate and waive a quorum call, not on his vote. If you want it get into parliamentarian/Roberts Rules of Order stuff, the Democrats basically could have forced a couple more hours of debate plus a quorum call. Basically, Democrats said "OK, we can move to a vote now" when they didn't have to do that. They are getting rightly criticized for not gumming up the works like the GOP would in their situation.

According to Middle East Observer, Macron and President of Lebanon Joseph Aoun made a joint statement yesterday that Hezbollah were not responsible for the rockets fired from Lebanon and that Israel is breaching the ceasefire. I can't find any English sources, I'm assuming it's only in French right now (if true).

The US deputy Middle East Envoy Morgan Ortagus arrived in Beirut today to basically tell Aoun to forcibly disarm Hezbollah or else. Lebanon was promised GCC money by the US in return for electing Aoun president and that money has failed to materialize entirely (shocker). Now they are saying Lebanon will only get the money if they "get tougher" on Hezbollah, and the UAE is specifically saying it won't give Lebanon money without normalization with Israe. Basically the US, Israel, and the Zionst Cooperation Council are trying to restart the Lebanese Civil War.

Plenty of the guys like Hegseth seem pretty gung-ho to attack Iran.

I had a shower thought yesterday that they are trying to reindustrialize the US by starting WW3 to recreate post-WW2 conditions where the US was the only industrialized nation because everywhere else had been bombed while somehow keeping the dollar the global reserve currency.

Let us all reflect and embrace the posting that got us here on this special day.

EDIT: Apparently the prior portrait was not of Nat Turner, despite what Google and some other websites said.
