Trumps Iran War: Seven US Service Members Lost, Oil Prices Surge, and Political Shifts
The Pentagon confirms the death of Army Sergeant Benjamin N. Pennington, the seventh US service member killed in Trumps conflict with Iran. Oil prices soar near $120 a barrel before dropping after Trump describes the war as very complete. Trump later calls it a little excursion, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supports the view that US actions are just the start.
Democrats in the Senate demand repeated war powers votes until the administration clarifies its goals. Republicans avoid questions on a Tennessee congressmans post about Muslims, while a California representative switches parties, reducing the House majority.
In other news, the FBI subpoenas Arizonas 2020 election records, a judge warns against keeping disputed prosecutors in New Jersey, and Trump considers an executive order targeting AI firm Anthropic amid a Pentagon feud.
On a lighter note, magnolias are blooming around the National Mall and Dumbarton Oaks, and local openings like Carla Halls new fried chicken spot on Capitol Hill.
