Last Wednesday, Congress voted 445-78 to override a presidential veto of a bill that would allow the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in the terror attacks.

The U.S. House last week passed Congressman Seth Moulton's (D-MA) bill to allow dredging in the Essex River as part of the Water Resource Development Act of 2016 (WRDA).
