As bad as gas prices are for you, they are much worse in remote places. Mary Peltola wrote that $24.49 per gallon is the price of gasoline in Naotak, Alaska. She also wrote: "Alaska families are being crushed by the unaffordable cost of living, and Dan Sullivan keeps on voting for the war that’s making everything more expensive. Alaska needs change."

Sen. Jon Husted said he "wants the #IranWar to end but that's not something we necessarily get to choose on our own."

Sen. Chris Murphy disagreed saying: "No, it is totally something Congress decides on its own. The Constitution is plain as day. Why run for the Senate if you don’t want to do the actual job? You can’t 'want the war to end' and then vote over and over against ending the war."

The Vietnam War ended soon after Congress cut off all money for it, and the Iran War will end soon after Congress cuts off all money for it. No money = no war. This is a war that the United States cannot win but that Trump is unwilling to end.

Danny Citrinowicz: "Iranian leaders read the American political calendar. They understand that a major escalation before the #midterms could impose significant political and economic costs on the Trump Administration, particularly through higher oil and gasoline prices. Trump himself has publicly acknowledged the connection between the Iran conflict, energy prices and the midterm timetable."

Saudi Arabia's leader wants the U.S. military "to strike targets in Yemen controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis." Trump said no to widening the #IranWar in this way because the United States lacks enough military strength to defeat Iran, and widening the war by attacking the Houthis would make our military situation even worse:

The #IranWar was always an illegal war and an unpopular war. It would be even less popular if the Trump Administration was honest about its cost in lives and in dollars. Trump repeatedly tried to win this war, but this war has been hopelessly lost.
