The Strait of Hormuz crisis is not just about oil.

30% of the world’s fertilizer moves through that chokepoint and prices are already up 77%. Tankers are burning, allies want help, and China and India are cutting their own deals.

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General?

First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.

We have no government right now.

This is what happens when you don't have a government.

According to MeidasTouch there are several reports that around 150 US troops have been injured in the war on Iran. Odd how Donald Trump and Kegbreath haven't mentioned this.

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

What Does it Mean that Trump is Promoting a ‘Prophecy’ About His Rise to Power?

Trump sharing "prophecies" about himself could mean he believes he's on a mission from God, or that he wants to rally supporters as his popularity drops. Either way, it seems like a power play to portray his opponents as enemies of God. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

I don't know how many Muslims are in this guy's district. I know there are tens of thousands in mine. They are parents. Entrepreneurs. Police officers. The firefighter-paramedic giving CPR to save your life.
They are us.
They are American.

Good luck, Mr. President. Article 1, Section 7, Clause 2 says if he doesn't sign a bill within ten days after presented it while Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law. If he vetoes any bill, Congress can overide his veto.
