Analysis: Iran crisis: Three ways this could end | CNN Politics From one moment to the next, this Iran crisis appears to be cascading in ways that are increasingly uncertain for governments, investors and ordinary citizens alike. Much now turns on the individual decisions of unpredictable leaders, including President Donald Trump, and now perhaps Iran’s new and untested supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

A decent #analysis of the ways in which this #Iran crisis could end. I agree the "Base Case" is where it is likely to end.

No matter how it ends, this #crisis is too high a price for so many only to feed one man's greed+ego, and possibly to distract from his misdeeds. 😢😠

Alexander brothers found guilty on all charges in sex trafficking trial - CBS News Jurors in Manhattan federal court reached a verdict Monday after weeks of testimony in the sex trafficking trial of brothers Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander.

I'm guessing the Alexander brothers are in line for a Presidential pardon. The President just needs to finalize the "pardon terms" and timing.

I don't think so. "Too big to fail" would kick in and they'll just print money and hand it out. Taking a cut of course.

Man, did #India smoke #NewZealand in the T20 World Cup final. 😲🏏🏆🇮🇳

Plus, the first team to win the cup:
- at home
- back-to-back
- three times

And Bumrah's bowling: 4/15 in 4 overs? In a T20? Finals no less? That's test match figures. Just unreal.

White text on black, one part circled in green; another part circled in red.

Circled in green:

Maybe Ms. Noem should consider a similar route, using her newfound freedom to tell the public how she really feels about what she was asked to do and defend in Mr. Trump’s name. 

Circled in red:

She might even claw back some of that self-worth she gave up along the way.

🟩 Yes, she should.

"The president’s East Wing plan upends the symmetry of the White House"

The obvious solution is to tear down and rebuild the West Wing to match.

PRIMARY TEACHERS! This "disappearing rainbow" works because of the way light is refracted and totally internally reflected - the same phenomena at play in the making of a real rainbow. It's a demonstration you can use to explore / explain rainbows to your students. More in the link below.

Just arrived at a #clinic and waiting in the lobby for the doctor to arrive. Already got a text asking feedback on the experience at the clinic.

I don't think it's because they're eager for my #feedback. Unless it's 5 stars, which they might get only before I actually experience anything here. 🙄

The patient could keel over and this doctor would probably still (be required to) say “the patient remains in excellent overall health.” 🙄
