## Resource

Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET. Today we discuss: • Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, ally of Trump/Netanyahu/Zelensky and a consistent neocon, dies of a “brief and sudden illness” at age 71. • Speculation swirls as a “proof of life” photo of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a far-right stalwart of the GOP, emerges after weeks of cover-ups and misdirection about the 84-year-old’s health. • U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged strikes over the weekend and issued conflicting accounts over whether the Strait of Hormuz remains open to shipping. Iran’s strikes targeted American military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Oman and Qatar .
