The sanctions are in response to Iran's attack on Israel last week.        The Democratic-controlled Senate quickly dismissed the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas yesterday.

That fire was declared extinguished, but was reignited by strong winds just before three o'clock in the afternoon.        Ye [[ YAY ]] is reportedly the suspect in a battery case in Los Angeles.
