The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

Very disappointed that Congress did not vote to stop the attacks against Iran yesterday.

This is more bad news: U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iranian health care facilities.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, stoking labor market worries The economy has remained a mixed bag, in part because of a government shutdown and a lack of clarity over the Trump administration's tariff agenda.

Jobs are down and prices are up. Trump and the Republican Administration and Republican Congress are hurting our economy.

At least the State Department had a great plan in place to evacuate all the Americans from the Middle East who are trying to leave.

Tragic loss of U.S. troops in Kuwait. I hope and pray our leaders have a plan to end this war soon.

The Terrifying Revelation About Trump’s Strike on Iran Girls’ School Was the strike based on outdated information?

The New Republic is reporting that the United States likely attacked the girls school based on outdated maps.

Here is a report on the “mass funeral” for the 160+ students and staff killed at an Iranian school during the Israel-United States attack.

Whatever actually happened, this is what Iranians are hearing, seeing, and experiencing. I hope and pray our leaders have a plan to end this war soon.

US announces its first casualties in Iran war; poll signals challenge for Trump In a video address, Trump lamented the deaths but added that "sadly, there will likely be more before it ends."

So sad. “Although the U.S. military reported no casualties on Saturday, on Sunday it said three U.S. troops were killed and another five were seriously wounded in U.S. operations against Iran.”

If it is true - ABC is reporting it and other outlets have video footage - the United States and Israel attacked an elementary school in Iran killing 57 and wounding 60. That is egregious. Congress must stop further attacks.

Congress has not authorized this attack. Praying for safety for our troops, for those who have been killed, and for a rapid end to this conflict.

Same Brutal ICE. Now Stealthier. ICE has learned how to be cruel and lawless without drawing so much attention to itself.

Here is a report that the refugee Nurul was dumped at a coffee shop that was not open.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe.

The cruelty is endless.

ICE is out of control, disregarding local police and policies, violating the law, violating court orders, violating people’s rights, and injuring or killing people. Congress needs to stop it.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

There is so much wrong with the current President and the Republican Administration. But the Epstein file mess by itself should be enough for Congress to remove him from office.

Bailout for specialty crops has yet to arrive. Growers warn they need more than $1 billion promised Farm aid promised last December is still months away from being paid out to fruit and vegetable growers. But industry groups say it won't be enough to get them through tough market conditions.

To my knowledge, payments to commodity growers haven’t gone out yet, either, and the specialty crop payments are even further behind. And not every farmer will get a “fair share” or enough to offset the damage that the Republican Administration is doing.
