I am going to ask all my questions at once, and if you are able to answer, I hope you do.

As the mother of a United States Marine war veteran, I came to Congress with the promise of never sending someone else's child to a war that could be avoided. This War Powers Resolution says no war with Iran without congressional approval…

I am holding in my hand a pill cutter. Pharmacists tell me that it is one of the most popular gadgets in the drugstore. Why? Because many prescription drugs are so unaffordable that, at the expense of their health, Americans are cutting…
