"Line from NPR News in Washington," 9 Corva Coleman, President Trump has post...
on "Line of Large Explosions," he didn't explain anything about it.
“The Associated Press reports, "This is a likely U.S. attack on the Iranian city of Isfahan,"”
and Pierce Emily Feng has more. "Posting without context or a caption, President Trump shared on social media a video of two successive explosions, one leaving a giant cloud of smoke. Around the same time, several social media videos from within Iran were shared with the diaspora websites, despite a widespread telecommunications placate on Iran, and they
show what appeared to be secondary explosions around a military site in Isfahan, including a possible munitions depot. Iran's Navy said it had struck a container ship in the Persian Gulf, "It claimed was owned by Israel, and response to Israel's repeated strikes on Tehran this week." Emily Feng and Pyrenees fan Turkey.
"The average cost for a gallon of regular gas has now gone to forward dollars, that's according to motoring club AAA. That's an increase of more than one dollar in just a month since the war against Iran started. And Americans are paying that cost.
“Leslie Sherman Shafer is an Uber driver in the San Francisco Bay area.”
She says her monthly gas costs have jumped." "When I pay extra for gas, yes, it's me absorbing the cost, and in order to compensate for that extra $200, I have to work extra hours."

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case tomorrow on the potential future of birthright citizenship. And Piers and Lena Simmons' Duffin reports on the effect this case could have on maternal and infant health. Bruce Leslie is president of first-focus on children, a bipartisan advocacy group for children
and families, which submitted an amicus brief in this case. "It's in the words, birthright, citizenship, so this is about babies." He says the effect a change in policy would have on babies is missing from the arguments over this issue, which is a serious oversight. "This impacts every baby born in America."
Without birthright citizenship, the family of every baby born in the U.S. would need to prove their citizenship. All new parents would have a new bureaucratic hurdle. An eligibility for health insurance, food and social support and more would be thrown into
a question in the critical early days of life.
