So basically we started a war with a country that can single-handedly fuck the entire world’s oil supply any time they want because of geography and we had no plan for if that happened? Is this correct?

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Sen. Warren: This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. The Trump administration says over and over, there's no money for health care, no money for childcare, but there's $1 billion a day to go to the Middle East and drop bombs on Iran

Everywhere I go, people are talking about the same thing: the president’s failure to bring down prices and make life in this country more affordable.

10 shots after they subdued him. 10. Cold blooded assassination of an American citizen by our govt.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.

In one case, a common scenario for middle-income enrollees, the entire subsidy of $200 a month would go away. Another enrollee stood to lose one-third of a total $600 per month in aid, according to sample notices provided by Covered California. https://t.co/iqsPEhUe8d
