Democrats and other Donald Trump critics reacted incredulously to a New York Times report on Sunday that House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner, the president's influential son-in-law, to discuss possible areas of collaboration. The meeting comes months ahead of the November midterm elections in which Democrats are favored to retake the US House, a development that would make Jeffries speaker.

U.S. Central Command has aided the passage of more than 660 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz since early May. This suggests at least 160 million barrels, or more than 7 million barrels per day, transited the strait over the past three weeks, based on the military's past statements.
