Good morning from Washington, where President Trump announces the U.S. will “snap back” sanctions on Iran because the U.N. Security Council hasn’t extended an arms embargo on the Islamist regime. We have a clear-eyed view from three Heritage Foundation policy experts. On the podcast, we dive into the real story at the Postal Service with an authoritative guest. Plus: an excerpt from “Abuse of Power,” our Fred Lucas’ new book on the drive to impeach Trump; the place of safety during a pandemic; and, on “Problematic Women,” Planned Parenthood’s deadly assault on family. A hundred years ago today, gridiron star Jim Thorpe and six others gather at an auto dealership in Canton, Ohio, to organize the first pro football league. P.S.: We goofed and used the wrong intro to yesterday’s Morning Bell. We’ll be more careful.
