Americans are feeling this, I don't have to tell you guys. If you have filled up a tank of gas, you are paying 80 to 90 cents more per gallon than before this war began. That's a sharp increase. It's painful. You feel it and it will impact your spending everywhere else. It's an economic hit.

As far as $200bn, I think that number could move. Obviously, it takes money to kill bad guys. We're going back to Congress and folks there to ensure that we're properly funded for what's been done, for what we may have to do in the future.

Joe Kent, President Trump's former top counter-terrorism official, is under investigation by the FBI's Criminal Division for allegedly improperly sharing classified information. The investigation began months before Kent's recent resignation, according to four individuals with direct knowledge of the probe who spoke to Semafor.

I have not and won't divulge internal conversations. I will say that those of us within the intelligence community continue to provide the president with all of the best objective intelligence available to inform his decisions. This statement reflects Gabbard's consistent refusal to disclose specific intelligence briefings to Trump regarding Iran's likely responses to U.S. military action, despite Democratic senators' attempts to extract details about potential Iranian retaliation strategies.

We demand DHS preserve all communications and internal records concerning Mr. Lewandowski's role within the Department, as well as the Department's practices, policies, and procedures related to contracting, personnel, and the handling of classified materials. Any deviation from standard record-keeping will be treated as an attempt to hide or destroy evidence.

Gill's comments sum up the conservatives' view: The protest has little to do with policy substance and everything to do with forcing action on the SAVE Act.

The legislation - which only applies to large oil companies - would impose a per-barrel tax "equal to 50% of the difference between the current price per barrel of oil and the average price per barrel last year, when big oil companies were already earning large profits."

Tulsi Gabbard's statement here is totally false. Her effort to lie to Congress and the public to justify an unauthorized, unconstitutional war is shameless. She could have said: The only person who is commander in chief of the Armed Forces is the president. That still would have been a dodge, but at least it would have been true.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The implications of developments in the Middle East for the US economy are uncertain, the central bank said in a statement announcing its policy decision and referring to its Federal Open Market Committee.

AIPAC pivoted in the final week of the campaign to focusing its fire on the more pro-Palestinian Abughazaleh than Biss, who was backed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Another AIPAC affiliate, Chicago Progressive Partnership, ran ads painting Abughazaleh as a closet Republican and boosting a lower tier leftist in the race, Bushra Amiwala.
