So Trump signed a memo ordering Homeland Security to use department funds to pay TSA workers.

It's not exactly clear how that will work since it's not an appropriation from Congress.

But the administration says TSA staff could start getting paid as early as today.

Even if those paychecks do go out, there are still a few issues here.

One is that so far during the shutdown, close to 500 TSA officers have quit.

And then Congress still has to figure out how to fund DHS.

But lawmakers have just left on recess.

You're welcome.

Back in 1953, the U.S.

and Great Britain helped orchestrate a coup against Iran's prime minister after he nationalized the country's oil sector.

Two and a half decades later, the Iranian revolution saw a new theocratic government take power the same year a group of Iranian students took 66 Americans hostage in Tehran.

Then, during the administration of President Ronald Reagan, there was the Iran-Contra affair.

More recently, President Trump has taken an aggressive stance toward Iran in both of his terms.

In 2020, the U.S.

military launched a drone strike that killed Major General Qasem Soleimani, who led Iran's elite Quds Force.

And last year, American and Israeli forces bombed several Iranian nuclear sites, an escalation of the years-long campaign to deter the country from pursuing a nuclear weapon.

The new photo of Trump in the National Portrait Gallery mentions his birth year, when he was president, and information about the photographer.

It does not say that Trump was impeached twice or share other details about his time in office.

A Smithsonian spokesperson said in a statement that the museum's America's President's Exhibition Gallery was undergoing an update and would include new labels and wall text.
