What does the "Blue Tsunami" we saw in this week's midterms mean for Congress, President Trump’s foreign policy, and the Eastern Mediterranean?
@Ty_D_Stapleton and @Zemenides joined @ThanosDavelis on the @GreekCurrent to break all of this down.

Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran’s nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above.

The new Congress is set to overhaul how Washington confronts China. The House China Select Committee could be downgraded or dissolved entirely—and Democrats plan to reset competition priorities across AI and economic policy.

In 2016, President Obama signed a Memorandum of Understanding to provide Israel with military aid through 2028 – aid that is spent right here at home and supports thousands of American jobs.
Israel faces extraordinary threats to its security and has been America's most important ally in the Middle East. Israel spends nearly four times as much on its own GDP on defense than the rest of our allies.
Donald Trump’s isolationism will only make America weaker on the world stage.
President Trump says the US is cutting off $4 billion in aid to Israel at the end of the year because "they don't need it."

The generational divide is massive:
Among older millennials and up... would have been a Dem trickle at best. Younger millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha, an epic blue tsunami.
Exit polling:
18-29 year olds: D+41
30-44 year olds: D+26
45-64 year olds: D+4
65+ year olds: D+5

While the results of the midterms are still up in the air, American voters across the country have made one thing clear:
They want SFRC to pass State Department authorization independently rather than constantly ceding authority to SASC and folding it into NDAA

Pennsylvania, even as these times have tested our will in previously unimaginable ways, you kept the faith — and not only entrusted me with the opportunity to continue serving as your Governor, but you did your part to help change the very trajectory of this country.

On Friday, 19 national security experts, including FDD's @CliffordDMay @MarkCMontgomery, urged Trump to enforce Russia sanctions, cancel the Russian gas deal, send Ukraine Patriot missiles, and keep Kyiv in peace talks.
This is how we secure U.S. interests and a lasting peace.

The latest cost estimate of the Iran war stands at $47.1 billion as of Oct. 16. That doesn’t include damage to bases, which the Pentagon separately priced at a minimum of $5 billion. That number could potentially be as high as $15 billion.

FACT: The annual funding Israel receives from the US amounts to less than one-tenth of 1% of the federal budget. Less than 1/10th of 1%.
FACT: That annual funding would cover only a few hours of federal health care spending. A few hours.
Yet politicians who specialize in scapegoating would have you believe that Israel is responsible for America’s affordability crisis.
Like every form of scapegoating before it, it is a dangerous lie.

Today we remember the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. On October 27, 2018, eleven Jewish Americans were murdered while attending Sabbath morning services at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA. We stand in solidarity with Pittsburgh’s Jewish community, the Tree of Life, Dor Hadash, and New Light congregations, and the families and friends of those whose lives were stolen from us.
As threats against Jews are increasing in the US and around the world, we must continue to combat antisemitism, hate, bigotry and prejudice towards any group and do everything we can to ensure everyone in America can confidently practice their faith in safety and security.

As we mark 43 years since #Hezbollah bombed the Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 American and 58 French peacekeepers, I honor those today working for peace between Lebanon and Israel, and for a better future in the region. Blessed are the peacemakers.

Congress should press the administration to complete the review and restore full OPCW and IAEA funding before essential verification and elimination efforts are curtailed, argues @StrickerNonpro:

Professional enablers of sanctions evasion beware. The U.S. government is warning that the lawyers and law firms setting up shell companies, facilitating opacity re: America's adversaries, etc. are not off limits.
And to be honest, sanctioning a non-Iranian law firm for operating in the petroleum and petrochemical sectors of the Iranian economy is kinda sick.
Today, as part of Operation Economic Outcast, Treasury sanctioned Panama- and Greece-based law firm Karnakis and Karnakis, shipping agents, and vessels which have supported illicit Iranian shipping activity, indirectly aiding Tehran’s ability to generate revenue to fund its military, weapons, and nuclear programs. Throughout Operation Economic Outcast, Treasury has continued to coordinate with counterparts in Europe and around the world to sever the Iranian regime’s remaining economic lifelines.

"According to a new federal indictment, the forensic software used by the Pentagon, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Secret Service was purchased from a company that hid its Russian ownership through layers of shell companies," write Tyler Stapleton & @FDD_CEFP's Josh Birenbaum in @TheNatlInterest:

US cannot successfully combat illicit finance and money laundering until we get our own house in order. To do that, we need to prevent anonymous companies with secret owners from engaging in criminal behavior without a way to know who is responsible. nationalinterest.org/feature…
