News: The Senate Appropriations Committee will markup four spending bills on Thursday of next week. Notice will be going out soon, I’m told.

Four FY2027 bills: Ag-FDA, Leg Branch, Commerce-Justice-Science and MilCon-Va.

We had in @PunchbowlNews PM that these four were being considered. ⬇️

Also, TOM COTTON on SAVE America Act on Fox News:

"The reality is we don't have 50 votes for it right now as it's written, much less 60 votes. "

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

🚨TOM COTTON on Fox News:

"I do have concerns that certain aspects of this deal are a step in the wrong direction."

Cotton's concerns

- Sanctions on Iran's oil exports
- Iran's ability to access $100B of frozen funds
- Tolls on the Strait of Hormuz

Vice President Vance tells me that some of the "gentleman's agreements" described by US officials “are written down" but not in the official MOU— indicating there are side deals between the US and Iran that haven’t been made public.

🚨Senate Armed Services Committee Chair ROGER WICKER in a new statement:

"I am concerned that the memorandum of understanding negotiates away the victories of Operation Epic Fury in ways that are completely out of step with the President’s goals."

another great @AndrewDesiderio Iran scoop

[Andrew Desiderio @AndrewDesiderio]

SCOOP: The State Dept told Congress *yesterday* that Iran’s oil exports are a primary revenue source for terrorism financing—just hours after U.S. & Iran signed MOU that includes oil sanctions relief, and as Trump is downplaying Iran’s illicit behavior
