Thank you, Jen & Maggie, for this discussion. It's so important for all of us to realize that even while disasters of one kind or another are on the front page, good people are constantly working behind the scenes to get the best outcome possible given the circumstances. I for one greatly appreciate Maggie's work ethic and professional understanding of the job she is currently doing. New Hampshire (and all of us!) are lucky to have her there.
I can see how frustrating it must be for Congressional members like Rep. Maggie Goodlander to be working under a president who acts on his own, not sharing discussions and important information, preventing our Congress from doing its job. As Rep. Goodlander brought up, it makes it difficult to speak with constituents without being included on plans. And she sees how inane Secretary of Defense Hegseth is at even answering specific basic questions because he is so very unqualified for his job. Keep fighting against the budget bill and destruction of our democracy.
I hope Rep. Goodlander and other responsible Congress members will continue the good fight and honor Senator McCain. It is informative [and depressing] to read how Congress is being minimized and stonewalled. Keep on trucking :)
This was an interesting conversation that was made less interesting by the very bad acoustics of the room that Ms Goodlander was speaking from. It was boomy and echoey. In future conversations, perhaps she could use a mic, or speak with you from a different room.
One real danger is that Trump doesn't want to admit his strike was ineffective, and consequently he's not going to work to get a diplomatic solution to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. They will most likely sprint to a bomb in those circumstances.

Heartbreaking.
