Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

GOOD NEWS: Rents are dropping in LA, but the LA Times fails to attribute any of this to the fact that the City Council capped rents at 90% of inflation with a cap of 4% for LA's rent-stabilized housing, which is 3/4 of all LA rentals!
