A bipartisan quartet of House lawmakers is wrangling with the chamber's leadership for a floor vote to withdraw U.S. military support for Saudi involvement in Yemen's civil war.

California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, who is pressing for the vote, said Tuesday that he is in negotiations with Democratic and Republican leadership about whether the resolution is privileged under the War Powers Act and would therefore get an automatic, fast-tracked floor vote.

More than two dozen House lawmakers are supporting a bill to halt U.S. military involvement in Saudi Arabia's war against the Houthi rebels in war-ravaged Yemen.

The bill, which requires the removal of U.S. forces from the "unauthorized hostilities" in Yemen within 30 days under the War Powers Act, was introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who told Fox News that 30 legislators -- Republicans and Democrats -- are backing the bill. He said he is optimistic the measure will reach the floor for a vote.

Instead of offering tax breaks, San Jose pitched its talent, education and status as Silicon Valley's largest city in a bid to lure Amazon to town.

The bid represents a show of restraint compared to other cities and states that had until Thursday to submit proposals to Amazon. The Seattle-based online retailer, which last month unveiled plans to build a second headquarters expected to bring 50,000 jobs and $5 billion in construction, said it would choose its second home based on the financial incentives local governments are willing to offer.

As the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans attempt to portray a tax plan slanted to the top 1 percent as "middle-class" tax relief, it's worth asking what actual tax relief for American workers would look like. Among the ideas that should be at the top of the list should be expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a policy that provides millions of low-income American workers with up to a few thousand dollars when they file their taxes.
