BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

The Vitruvian Man as a visual "gauge" or dial. The different arm angles of the figure correspond to labels along a color-coded arc (green to red), similar to a speedometer:

REST – arm down (fully green)
PET DOG – slight upward angle
PET CHILDREN – moderate angle
CALL TAXI – arm nearly horizontal
CALL WAITER – arm raised high
NAZI – arm fully extended upward at a straight angle (red zone)

I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look β€” he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.

And spring break. I know at least 2 families with road trips coming up that have been planned for months.

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police installed in Capitol at 4 a.m. The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

The Jan. 6 plaque honoring police was just installed in the Capitol β€” at 4 a.m.:

Three years since Congress ignored its own deadline, the memorial plaque recognizing the service of law enforcement on Jan. 6 is finally on display in the very building they defended from a mob of Trump supporters.

Once again, the Trump administration is trying to set tariffs by creatively (and illegally) using statues that have never been used for tariffs before. And once again, we're standing up to challenge his unlawful actions. #orpol

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

No family should have to experience this loss and trauma. Maria Trinidad Loya Medina is not a criminal; she is a mother who was trying to pick up socks for her son when she was surrounded by ICE agents and taken hundreds of miles away from her family. 🧡

With every new development in this story I am even more gobsmacked that Epstein and his co-conspirators escaped accountability over and over and over again. There's more to come from my investigation. Stay tuned.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

I grew up with a poster in our home that said, β€œWar is not healthy for children and other living things.” This is a value I hold as a policymaker.

For years, I have supported negotiations with our allies to engage in diplomatic solutions to counter threats from Iran. 🧡
