Kamala Harris on Iran:
First of all, this is a war the American people did not want. This is a war of choice.
This is a president who has proven himself to be entirely self-indulgent. And we will see what happens in the coming hours and days in terms of the negotiation.
And really it's a concept of an agreement and where it ends up. But there is no question that there is a direct correlation between this war of choice and what has happened in terms of gas prices.
It is estimated the average American has spent since the war started $500 more because of this war. And I will add to that number to put it in context. The average American is $400 away from bankruptcy for any unexpected expense.
So $400 of an unexpected expense could result in bankruptcy for the average American. And this war has resulted in $500 more of expenses, a large part of that because of the gas prices going up.
Deep in Sequoia National Forest stands a natural wonder like no other, the General Sherman Tree. It may not be the tallest or the widest tree in the world, but by volume, it is the largest living single-stem tree on Earth.
This giant sequoia is truly massive. It stands about 275 feet (83 meters) tall and has a base diameter of over 36 feet (11 meters). Its enormous size gives it a volume of more than 52,000 cubic feet, making it the biggest tree by total wood volume.
The General Sherman Tree is also incredibly old. Scientists estimate it to be around 2,000 to 2,500 years old, meaning it was already standing long before many ancient civilizations rose and fell.
Despite its age, the tree is still alive and continues to grow slowly each year. Protected within Sequoia National Park, it attracts thousands of visitors who come to witness its incredible size and natural beauty.
The General Sherman Tree is a powerful reminder of nature’s strength, endurance, and the incredible scale of life on Earth. 🌲

"A law was made by the Confederate States Congress about this time allowing every person who owned twenty negroes to go home. It gave us the blues. We wanted twenty negroes. Negro property suddenly became very valuable, and there was raised the howl of 'rich man's war, poor man's fight!' The glory of the war, the glory of the South, the glory and the pride of our volunteers, had no charms for the conscript."
- Samuel R. Watkins on the Twenty-Slave Law of 11 October 1862
