America showed the world what it’s made of… On Easter Sunday, as the sun broke over the mountains of Iran, an American Air Force colonel — known to the world only by his call sign, Dude Bravo 44 — was lifted from a crevice in the rocks where he had spent nearly two days bleeding, hiding, and refusing to die. He had been shot down on Good Friday.

President Trump is weighing a dramatic move — compelling Congress to return early from recess to resolve the funding crisis at the Department of Homeland Security. “It’s something that’s under consideration,” he told The New York Post, with a characteristic aside that he might let lawmakers have their Easter first. It would be extraordinary if he did it. The last president to force Congress back was Harry Truman, in 1948. That tells you something about the weight of the moment.
