Whatever else Donald Trump’s “ pause ” is, it is not a ceasefire. Iranian barrages targeted Israel, Gulf Arab states and northern Iraq on Tuesday, while Israeli and US warplanes struck across Iran. What Mr Trump’s statement did was to narrow US targets to exclude power plants and energy infrastructure to calm jittery markets. But the fighting continues. With reports that the US is considering boots on the ground, Washington is waging war while searching for an exit – without a credible or unified negotiating position, as Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu pursues his own ...
Question: I hear and get mail about benefits that pay their Medicare Part B premium. What is that and how do I get that? Answer: The program I believe you are asking about is called the Medicare Savings Program (MSP).

Only one Democrat broke with his party to do what was right for the United States. The Senator in question is Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman, who voted with Republicans to oppose the resolution. Over the weekend, he tweeted, “Why do Democrats now universally condemn what ...
Can anyone reading this editorial right now explain, clearly and succinctly, why the U.S. is currently engaged in an open-ended military operation against the Islamic Republic of Iran? If you said yes, congratulations — you’re doing better than the Trump administration. President Donald Trump and his advisers have offered nothing but shifting and often self-contradictory explanations since the American-Israeli attacks against Iran started over the weekend.
