Summary
Trump's impetuous killing of a senior Iranian administration official led to a military crisis that apparently led to an airliner with hundreds of people aboard being shot out of the sky 10 miles from Tehran. It’s increasingly looking like the Ukrainian International Airlines jet that went down within hours of the Iranian missile strike after taking off from Tehran was shot down by a missile itself.
So, who shot down the jet? And why does the Trump Administration refuse to discuss it?
Rep. Mark Pocan calls in an update from the Congress debating an update to the War Powers Act and other news.
For the Book Club Thom reads a portion from "Last Boat Out of Shanghai" by Helen Zia.
