You were making the point that this is something short of that.Yeah, a blockade is an act of war. So I think what we're really seeing is what's doctrinally known as a quarantine. Really what that is, is action taken against a very particular set of vessels, in this case, these sanctioned oil tankers.And a quarantine means you are still enforcing this. You're still using military power, but it isn ...

Hi everyone, I’m Kelli. I'm a games editor on the App Store editorial team, and I describe myself as a lifelong player.

I realize what happened in the House with that discharge petition involves a unique tool in the House. Will John Thune be compelled to bring a similar extension back to the floor after what we just saw today.

That includes those subsidies for en ...

If for no other reason, the average price on gold in 26 models is looking between 42 and 4,500 bucks an ounce. I'll use the rest of the time we have for final trade on gold, if you let ...

We have two uh issues to deal with. One is the immediate expiration of these enhanced premium tax credits that were put in place by Democrats during co uh as a temporary measure to address healthc care affordability uh during a pandemic.

It's why I've been working in a bipartisan w ...
