The Trump Administration desperately wants to win the war with Iran, and desperately wants to lose the war with Russia - but can't seem to manage to do either.

Ukraine’s Second Miracle Year The war isn’t won, but for the first time in years, outright victory seems possible.

"Strategically, Ukraine has a theory of victory that looks increasingly plausible, while Russia’s is crumbling....Russia bet the farm on the theory that meat waves would overwhelm Ukraine while the United States and Hungary blocked Western support, and failed."

And because of this, it cannot be "undone". The impact on the market was felt, consumers paid more, domestic producers profited more. Undoing the government revenue portion of this, which produced the market impact, is just part of the equaiton.

This actually illustrates a very important point about tariffs: that the cost imposed on consumers comes from the reduction in supply and increase in price, and only indirectly from the tariff fee itself. Regardless of "who pays", it is effectively a transfer of wealth from consumers to producers.

Federal agents detain wife of another US army member: ‘ICE is out of control’ Jose Serrano, a sergeant, said Deisy Rivera Ortega, his wife, was arrested at an immigration appointment

A US army sergeant with 27 years of military service – including deployment to Afghanistan – has said that federal immigration agents recently arrested his wife during an appointment at an El Paso, Texas, immigration office.

Does this mean he will have to change his name from Tim Apple?

Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

Iran is undoubtedly trying to develop a nuclear weapon of its own. But Comer's theory seems to be that it's trying to prevent the US from having one, or outpace the US nuclear program, which is a quite a stretch.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help

I love how some aide told Trump that the US fought WW2 for over 3 years, so why we should we be upset at him getting us into a WAY stupider war for just 2 months?

It's just an extended dance mix.

That may be true, but the irony of him running on that platform in 1916 is still real.

The damage Netanyahu has done to Israel's standing in the world is incalculable. He basically wedded his country to an authoritarian movement in the United States that Americans, sooner or later, are going to soundly reject.
