Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh [on X] We'd be at war with Iran, directly, if Kamala Harris won in November. Just think about what we avoided. She would've already signed off on several strikes, and probably would've sent troops. It would have been a nightmare. Last edited 8:10 AM Jun 20.2025 • 515.8K
Daily Express article saying that "Excluding our MPs from deception law is a travesty"
CNN reported on Thursday that senior Trump administration officials told lawmakers in recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes by the US and Israel.

Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?

Research has generally found that US consumers and businesses are the ones absorbing the costs from higher levies. Foreign producers may reduce their selling costs or US importers may absorb some of the costs.
