WH COS Ron Klain told Punchbowl last night that the WH is considering Shalanda Young for OMB dir, saying Biden first wants to get her Senate confirmed as dep Dir, but that her name "is very much on that list"
1/
Re the border situation, Klain said:

2/
"And we are doing our best to surge capacity to the border, particularly for these children who arrived here without parents, to house them in a way that is safe, to house them in a way that’s humane & help ultimately reunite them with either family they have in this country

"or sponsors who are willing to take them in in this country. That takes time and that is not something you can do overnight."

Ron Johnson's latest from the Senate floor today:
Per Punchbowl:
"In an attempt to criticize the Democrats’ Covid bill, Johnson went to the Senate floor with a chart saying it would take 60,230 years to spend $1.9 trillion at $1 per second. That’s a long time.
1/
"Johnson said humans only developed language about 50,000 years ago. Then there was a quick aside about how Wisconsin was covered with a mile of ice back then, although it melted. Johnson quipped, “Now that’s climate change."
2/
"Then Johnson came back with a different chart that showed a stack of $1 trillion in dollar bills would be 67,886 miles high. Then Johnson talked about stacks of bills to the moon. It was a little confusing and we didn’t understand all of it.

Chris Murphy (Senate Foreign Relations) on Biden's Syria strike:
“I have inherent trust in the national security decision making of President Biden, & I know how seriously he takes Congress's war making powers But Congress should hold this administration to the same standard
1/
"it did prior administrations, and require clear legal justifications for military action, especially inside theaters like Syria, where Congress has not explicitly authorized any American military action.”
WH saying Biden informed Congressional leaders/relevant committees
2/
in advance of the op. But since Biden ordered the strike “to defend U.S. personnel,” he didn’t need any additional authorization from Congress to act.

Here's more on Anthony Aguero, a conservative livestreamer, activist and 'close' associate of Marjorie Taylor Greene's who was in the mob on 1/6 & said (counter the MTG's claims) that 'it was NOT Antifa'
