Trump Says Iran Was Two Weeks Away According to a recap by MS NOW anchor Stephanie Ruhle, President Trump said Iran was "two weeks" from a nuclear bomb and that it would have been used. The claim came during a 15-minute phone call and was shared on air, not in a formal White House statement. Trump also said the U.S. strikes had "decimated" Iran's capabilities, which matches his earlier, more forceful language that the targeted sites were "obliterated." Damage Claims and Nuclear Questions MS NOW reported that Trump described the remaining material as "nuclear dust," a reference to enriched uranium that experts say may still exist even after major strikes. That is an important distinction. A stockpile of enriched material is a threat, but it is not the same thing as a finished weapon, and the steps between those points are technical, slow, and dangerous.

The amendment would create a cutoff based on birth year, which is the kind of workaround lawmakers invent when they want to sound careful while making the rule less careful. Why Murkowski says Alaska is different In her floor speech, Murkowski argued that an immediate citizenship-proof mandate would create logistical problems in Alaska, a state with remote towns, limited roads, and many residents who may not have easy access to older records. She pointed to elderly Alaska Natives, village births, and travel that can stretch across huge distances. Those concerns are not…
