Will Trump take the off ramps that are opening up? Pakistan has indicated it is willing to host and mediate a end or at least pause in the war with Iran. Trump could save some face after lying about already talking with Iran, which the latter denies. This might ease the pressure he is getting from all sides domestically. Question is will Iran agree, knowing his history of lying. What does Israel do? If Israel continues and we can step out, we should. That should also eliminate the need for the $200 billion supplemental funding for the war. The second off ramp is the possible Senate plan to fund DHS without ICE . Funding and paying TSA will take a lot of pressure off. Question is: is there enough pressure to do that without his demand to pass the SAVE act? Could they pass the SAVE act effective AFTER the mid-terms with no retroactive application of the terms? (A Democratic congress could later nullify it before the 2028 elections.)
