Suspension of the rules is a procedure generally used to quickly pass non-controversial bills in the United States House of Representatives.

The chipmunks at Reuters have the details here.
Whether the work actually gets done next week is anyone’s guess. Same goes for House Speaker calling back members to vote on the bill if the Senate passes its version.
Yesterday, Russia lobbed several X-47XM2s at Ukraine from Mig-31s. These missiles are essentially Iskanders, except they’re dropped from planes. It only takes a couple of minutes for them to reach their target, unless they are shot down first. One was over Kyiv yesterday afternoon.
If someone, anyone, anywhere, can figure out how to negotiate this ‘interface’ past the unwelcome Javascript, the required reloads, the cache failures, the scattershot markup, the overpowering segregation of information, the needless features, the seven ways of finding the same thing, the one-way interactivity, the clanging design, the hostile unfamiliarity, the unattainable customization, the ketchup slowness, the endless options, the unavailable information, the myriad possibilities, and just fucking tell me if there’s a decent connection that would be tops.
Thanks.

On Thursday, Z slipped into his black pajamas and visited the Security Promotion Group of Ukraine based in Wiesbaden. Where he pops up next is anyone’s guess.
