Congress returns to work while the US and Iran trade shots
Just what everyone needs on a Monday: the US and Iran are trading gunfire in the Strait of Hormuz, and Congress is finally dragging itself back from vacation to deal with a looming government shutdown.
So, while most of us were trying to enjoy the weekend, the US military and Iran decided to exchange actual gunfire in the Strait of Hormuz. You know, that tiny, highly stressful strip of water where a massive chunk of the world's oil floats through every single day. Just casual weekend activities.
Meanwhile, back in Washington, the geniuses in Congress are finally returning from their recess. They are walking straight into a wall of tight deadlines and high-stakes decisions, mostly because they love waiting until the absolute last second to keep the government running.
It is comforting to know that whether it is global geopolitics or basic domestic administration, everyone is just winging it at the last possible minute.
