## Resource

On today’s Politics Nation, Rev. Al Sharpton breaks down rising tensions with Iran as President Trump warns time is running out on his 10-day ultimatum, threatening major consequences within 48 hours. As the U.S. military searches for a downed service member and reports emerge of additional aircraft losses, the human toll continues to climb. Back in Washington, Trump and Republicans push for a massive $1.5 trillion military funding request—amid deep cuts to social programs and growing economic strain for Americans, with midterm elections just months away.
