FROM US SENATOR KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND: “Today marks 60 days of President Trump’s illegal war with Iran– and it is no coincidence that it also marks the day Americans are feeling the sharpest pain at the pump and at the store. Gas has hit the highest prices in four years, up more than $1.30 a gallon since the president launched the war,” said Senator Gillibrand. “Every trip to the grocery store, every commute to work, every school drop-off costs more because of a war that American families never asked for. As I told Secretary Hegseth yesterday, a majority of Americans disapprove of the war, evidence he quickly dismissed by continuing to cover for President Trump. The American people never asked for this war. 60 days in, the administration owes them a straight answer: what are we doing in Iran, and when does it end?”
