Most proposed legislation in Congress, especially when introduced by a member of the minority party, consists of press releases with a bill number. They're pigeonholed and never come up for a vote. Only about one to three percent of bills become law.

The Trump administration’s public portrayal of a shattered Iranian military is sharply at odds with what U.S. intelligence agencies are telling policymakers behind closed doors, according to classified assessments from early this month that show Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities.
