The idea is that by dropping some bombs, they’ll weaken Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities. Sounds straightforward, right? But hold on a second. The reality is a bit messier.

You know, because nothing says “let’s keep the peace” like a military strike that rallies a nation around its…

### Congress Just Can’t Quit Its Bad Spending Habits So, it turns out the GOP is hooked on a spending method that lets them sidestep the usual bipartisan negotiations, and they’re not even trying to hide it. A mere nine months ago, they slipped through a whopping $280 billion for the Pentagon and Homeland Security using budget reconciliation—basically a fancy term for “we’re doing this our way and you can’t stop us.” Now, President Trump has given Congress a deadline to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement without needing a single Democratic vote.

Shocking, right? But wait, what’s the real story here? Gas prices are climbing faster than a cat up a tree thanks to the war in Iran, and somehow, that’s Trump’s fault? Fin Gómez from CBS News thinks this drop spells doom for Republicans in the midterms.
