Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced Wednesday afternoon that she will still introduce and hold a vote on a resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s power to lead the military in a confrontation with Iran — even though the confrontation is over.
Pelosi accused the Trump administration of “needless provocations” and declared that America “cannot afford war” with Iran.
Rarely have I seen Nigel Farage look so drained, grey and subdued as he did when announcing today in Hartlepool that he was standing down a chunk of his army. His Brexit Party will not be contesting any of the
