President Donald Trump has invited congressional leadership and key committee members to discuss Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria at the White House this afternoon. In Ankara, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will travel to Ankara to discuss a ceasefire deal. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that he will not be meeting with the U.S. delegation.

The House of Representatives will vote today on a resolution on the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) urged Republican lawmakers to back the measure, introduced by Reps. Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Michael McCaul (R-TX). 

Senate action: An identical measure was introduced in the Senate by Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Todd Young (R-IN), though Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was noncommittal about any action during a floor speech on Tuesday. In his remarks, the Republican leader warned that the move created a power vacuum that is “leaving northeastern Syria wide open for Iran to extend its reach, unimpeded, all the way from Tehran to the doorstep of our friends in Israel.” 

Up next: Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) are expected to introduce sanctions legislation against Turkey on Thursday, though a vote is yet to be scheduled. 

Making up? Graham met with Trump at the White House on Monday ahead of the announcement on new sanctions against Turkey. Graham, a prominent critic of Trump’s decision on Syria, said in a statement that he supported the administration’s plan for resolving the crisis. Graham was also on a phone call between Trump and the Turkish president on Tuesday in which Erdogan committed to stay away from Kurdish territory in Syria. 

TV take: In an interview with “Fox and Friends” on Monday, Graham did not repeat his criticism of Trump, instead focusing on how the president is moving to “punish Erdogan” over the Turkish leader’s actions. 

Hot take: Peter Wehner explains in The Atlantic why every American ally should worry about meeting the same fate the Kurds met when Trump betrayed them. “President Trump will betray anyone who no longer serves his needs.”

Marc Benioff, the founder and CEO of Salesforce, is out with his first new book in a decade. Trailblazer details Benioff’s efforts to make Salesforce — and the tech world at large — less focused on profits and more focused on doing good, both within local communities and around the world.

Family lessons: In Trailblazer, Benioff explains that his mindset was driven largely by seeing the hard work of his father, the CEO of a small apparel business, and his grandfather, a lawyer and local politician who created San Francisco’s BART mass transit system.

Tzedakah: “I decided that no matter how much Salesforce grew, it would donate 1 percent of its product, 1 percent of its equity, and 1 percent of its employees’ time to help nonprofits and charities.”

Keeping the faith(s): “With more than half of people in the United States saying that faith — whether Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, Jewish, Christian, Catholic, or anything else — is the core element of their identity, we want all employees to feel safe bringing their full authentic selves to work. So as you can imagine, nothing made me prouder than when Joe Teplow, whose company Rebel we acquired last year, told me about what he called a ‘remarkable moment of religious harmony powered by Salesforce.’ He was about to recite a Jewish prayer in one of the mindfulness rooms of our New York tower when Yousef Abbasi, a solutions engineer, walked in to perform his midday Muslim prayer. Joe moved over to make room, and they prayed beside each other in the languages of their religions.”

On the creation of Ohana Groups, small collectives of employees from underrepresented communities: “One of our newest Ohana groups, Faithforce, is currently the fastest-growing, with a thousand members in less than a year. Two employees started this group with the support of our Chief Equality Officer, Tony Prophet. He told me how employees were holding secret prayer meetings because they weren’t certain that it was allowed, and how a director of content experience, Sue Warnke, had confided to him that she was a born-again Christian but worried that she should tuck her cross necklace inside her blouse at the office.”
