House Votes to Extend—and Expand—a Major US Spy Program

"Republicans have resisted the routine confirmation of Joe Biden’s diplomatic appointments. The following US diplomatic posts in the Middle East are vacant:

- Israel

- Egypt

- Lebanon

- Oman

- Kuwait

- No confirmed top USAID official for the Middle East for nearly three years.

Meanwhile, Senator Tommy Tuberville has prevented the appointment of 300 senior officers in the US military."
