Here to talk about it all is Jeremy Barr, media reporter for The Guardian US. And in headlines, the House for the first time Wednesday approves a war powers resolution that would halt the US military action against Iran , Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin testifies on Capitol Hill , and just how rich is Elon Musk ?
