BREAKING: 1 Republican lawmaker objects, halting $19B bipartisan disaster relief bill. nbcnews.to/2HQdEBQ
Rep. Roy: “Speaker Pelosi knew full well that a disaster bill may be coming from the Senate and yet chose to recess the House and then brought this forward for consent. I stayed in D.C. to object because this kind of swampy practice is what Texans elected me to stand against.”
WATCH: Republican Rep. Roy objects to passing disaster relief bill by unanimous consent, arguing it spends $19B without members of Congress being present to vote, and that the bill should include money for border security.

Senate passed the bill 85-8. nbcnews.to/2HQdEBQ

NEW: Exclusive: President Trump briefed on a plan that would use Army Corps of Engineers and a portion of $13.9B of Army Corps funding to build 315 miles of barrier along US-Mexico border, according to 3 US officials familiar with the briefing. nbcnews.to/2D2YK9W
The money was set aside to fund projects all over the country, including storm-damaged Puerto Rico, but checks have not been written yet and, under emergency declaration, the president could take the money, said officials familiar with the briefing and two congressional sources.
Under the proposal, the officials said, Pres. Trump could dip into the $2.4B allocated to projects in Calif., including flood prevention and protection projects, as well as $2.5B set aside for reconstruction projects in Puerto Rico, which is still recovering from Hurricane Maria.

"That really bothers me," Sen. Graham says of @NBCNews reporting this story -> nbcnews.to/2R6GUYM
Sen Graham on Sen. Flake's support of Judge Kavanaugh:

"He has wrestled with this. He is trying to be fair. I cannot tell you what happened 35 years ago, I can tell you this: Through any legal system this would not get out of the batters box."
Women confronted Sen. Flake on Friday after he announced he will vote for Judge Kavanaugh, including one woman who scolded him saying that "You’re telling me that my assault doesn’t matter – that what happened to me doesn’t matter.” on.msnbc.com/2OeKn9d

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the UNSC session on #Venezuela:

Former president Maduro bears full responsibility for the people's suffering.
Now we have a new leader @jguaido. We cannot delay this critical conversation. We must support the Venezuelan people.
Rosemary DiCarlo, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs:

Nearly 30 million Venezuelans are suffering from hyperinflation.
At least 20 people have died in recent unrests, many more injured.
The needs of the Venezuelan people must be met to enjoy peace.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the UNSC:
We are here because people in #Venezuela are searching the trash for food.
We are here because women are resorting to prostitution to make ends meet.
The Maduro regime's failed policies & oppression stole this country's future.

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory
