Summary

Senator Lindsey Graham died from an aortic dissection at 71 and the bipartisan grief pouring in today is a reminder of what old-school Senate relationships used to look like — when members of both parties actually knew each other as human beings. We pay tribute to a complicated but genuinely warm man whose personal conduct in the Senate was better than the era he served in. Mitch McConnell says it was a fall and mild pneumonia but the medical care he is receiving tells a different story. We flag the disconnect. And Trump wants to charge fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. We vehemently disagree. It is international waters. Nobody owns it. Nobody gets to charge for it. Today we explain the law and the common sense. All of it today with the respect and directness these stories deserve.
