Rafael Grossi — head of the IAEA — told @margbrennan he doesn't disagree with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's assessment that Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. "We don't see major activity, which is logical, because there is a, there is a military campaign ongoing," he said.

Director of “All The Empty Rooms,” @JSeftel, says the film was designed to shift the focus away from perpetrators and back toward the children whose lives were lost. After winning the #Oscar for Best Documentary Short, he said centering the film on grief, absence and the humanity of the children can help move the conversation beyond politics and toward real change. Seftel added that the win now gives the film an even bigger platform, helping ensure the world remembers the children whose lives were lost due to gun violence: Hallie Scruggs (9), Gracie Muehlberger (15), Dominic Blackwell (14) and Jackie Cazares (9). cbsnews.com/rooms

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) says people should not take President Trump sending additional Marines to join the U.S. forces in the Middle East “as a boots-on-the-ground deployment, especially with only 5,000 troops.” “I take it as a seriousness of committing to the situation, which is exactly what is needed. If you’re going to do this, which we have done, you need to see it through,” Crenshaw says.
