Trump's so-called "memorandum of understanding" and 60-day window to make a deal with Iran to end the war has now expired. Here's what you should know about the agreement, which I covered when it was first announced. What exactly has been accomplished after several months of war with Iran?

When I heard Trump was gonna sign our housing bill, I ran down in excitement! But he was nowhere to be found…. Trump refuses to sign a bill that would make housing cheaper for you because he rather make voting harder for you!

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not answer nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster assistance line, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers, according to a person briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal matters.

My understanding of presidential pardons is that they were traditionally granted at the end of a president's term. Trump, on the other hand, seems to be issuing them for his allies as soon as convictions happen. I know we all expect this sort of corruption, but is there precedent for such an effort?
