A group of members of Congress from the House of Representatives are getting ready to participate in a parachute jump over Normandy to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The lawmakers are commemorating the historic event by taking part in this symbolic gesture.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has appointed two staunch supporters of former President Donald Trump to the House of Representatives' intelligence committee, a move that is likely to stir controversy within the security establishment. Representatives Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Ronny Jackson of Texas, both known for their unwavering loyalty to Trump and vocal advocacy for his efforts to challenge the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, were selected for the committee without consulting its chair, Mike Turner. This decision bypassed other qualified GOP members who may have been more traditionally aligned with the committee's work. The appointments of Perry and Jackson to such a sensitive committee raise concerns about the politicization of intelligence matters and the potential impact on national security. Their close ties to Trump suggest that their priorities may align more with political interests than with the committee's mandate to oversee intelligence activities and protect the country's security. The move is likely to face criticism from those who value the independence and non-partisan nature of intelligence oversight, as well as from those who question the qualifications and suitability of the appointees for such a critical role.
