I heard the treasury secretary say that, 'Who cares about the downgrading of our credit rating from Moody's?' That is a big deal. That means that we are likely headed for a recession and probably means higher interest rates for anybody out there who is trying to start a business or to buy a home.

Allowing Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz would be a history-changing win for Tehran. The level of incompetence is both stunning and heartbreaking. Hard to believe that a rushed agreement made under the threat of civilization annihilation doesn't seem to be holding together for more than 24 hours.

Trump's war in Iran is spiraling out of control. He has no legal authority to continue this war without Congress, and we will keep forcing votes until this body does its constitutional duty. A war powers resolution would obligate the president to seek approval from Congress on further military action in the region.
