| second: Trump's VA killed a home loan program. Vets are now losing their homes because of it. More than 10,000 veterans lost their homes to foreclosure since May of last year, when the Trump administration shut down a key safety net in the VA home loan program. Another 90,000 vets are heading toward foreclosure. A loan backed by the VA is considered one of the most valuable benefits for military service members and has helped millions achieve homeownership. But for nearly a year now, vets have had worse protections and options than most other homeowners if they fall behind. [go to link] |

| second: In the summer of 2008, weeks before the investment bank Lehman Brothers imploded, oil prices skyrocketed to nearly $150 a barrel. Some oil watchers are warning of even higher prices this summer if the vital Strait of Hormuz doesn’t reopen soon.
US oil prices have already spiked from about $65 to around $100 since the start of the war in the Middle East. Crude spiked by 51% in March alone, the second-biggest one-month increase since futures trading launched in 1983.

| second: Maybe he’d have been better off not trying. Trump’s critics have castigated him for refusing to go on television and provide a comprehensive explanation of the war to the American people. But given his performance this evening, perhaps he had the right instinct. His address did not come across as a wartime speech but instead was a disjointed series of complaints, brags, and exaggerations (along with a few outright lies) delivered by a man who looked and sounded tired. After his 19 minutes on the air—brisk by Trump’s standards—Americans could be forgiven for being even more concerned now than they were only a few days ago. [go to link] |
| second: Yesterday, Trump declared victory, of course, but he did not actually announce an end to hostilities. On the contrary, he said we’re going to bomb Iran into the Stone Age. So add massive war crimes to your schedule. If you want the real verdict on the speech, well, Brent oil futures were under $100 when Trump started speaking. They are over $108 now. [go to link] |

| second: Former White House attorney Ty Cobb suggested on Tuesday that President Trump’s rhetoric and late-night musings on social media about the ongoing conflict with Iran are demonstrating his cognitive decline.
“It’s not a surprise that we’re in this much trouble,” Cobb said. “It’s not a surprise given the fact that the Cabinet will not invoke the 25th amendment for a man who is clearly insane, and this war highlights that.” [go to link] |
| second: Trump sought help from NATO allies in reopening the Strait of Hormuz as fuel prices surged worldwide, but European nations showed little interest in joining the U.S. war in Iran. In response, Trump threatened to stop the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program, whereby NATO nations buy U.S. arms for Ukraine. An official described Trump as "rather hysterical" over Europe's refusal to monitor the Strait of Hormuz. Trump then escalated his anti-NATO rhetoric, saying on April 1 that he is is strongly considering pulling the U.S. from NATO. Trump is expected to elaborate on his position on the U.S. role in NATO during an address later this evening. [go to link] |
