AOC: I believe in guaranteeing health care to every American. I believe in raising the minimum wage. I believe in strong unions. And so, yeah, if a Republican wants to call a stronger union communist, they’re more than welcome to do that. I’m not going to be deterred.

Trump administration seeks to bar law firm Susman Godfrey from lawyer group's lawsuit
President Donald Trump’s administration has asked a federal judge to disqualify law firm Susman Godfrey from representing the American Bar Association in its lawsuit against the White House, arguing that the firm's work creates a conflict because its lawyers could be called as key witnesses.

I served in uniform under three Adminstrations. I never once felt or agreed with the conspiracies that we were in Iraq to "take their oil". They certainly kept their oil. Yes, we protected it but it's because it can be stolen and used to fund a fight. Trump however is 100% after Iranian oil.

The deals include rebuilding the long-defunct Iraq-Syria crude oil pipeline, which could bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
