## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in U.S. foreign policy and a staunch critic of Iran, died suddenly Saturday evening from a brief illness, shocking the nation. A five-term senator since 2002, Graham was instrumental in shaping sanctions against Russia and had just announced a major diplomatic deal with the Trump administration the day before his passing. Once a vocal Trump critic in 2016, he later became one of the president’s closest allies, advising on global strategy and even playing golf with him. His death comes amid a troubling trend of lawmakers facing health crises — including Rep. Tom Kean Jr. battling depression and Sen. Mitch McConnell’s recent hospitalization — underscoring a somber moment for American politics. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
