The U.S. launched its latest round of airstrikes against Iran early Thursday, and Tehran responded by targeting U.S.-allied Mideast countries.Trump chose not to sign a sweeping housing affordability bill on Friday, in protest of Congress not approving a strict voter ID bill that lacks sufficient support to pass. The housing measure will become law without Trump’s signature because he didn’t veto it. Still, the president’s rejection cuts short the GOP’s efforts to address a key voter concern about rising costs, exacerbating tensions with his own party in a midterm election year.In another move to expand White House influence over the U.S. elections process, Trump ousted members of a bipartisan federal election commission that resisted his efforts to require would-be voters to document their U.S. citizenship before registering.
