Six Democratic senators told a scrum of journalists that President Donald Trump’s newly launched war on Iran, with Israel, pushed them past a breaking point. They vowed to force public hearings and debate on the war, which is costing about $1 billion a day without a clear endpoint.
It’s critical that young people get more than the leftist viewpoint
