But first: Anyone who's left their phone behind knows it's easy to forget something in an Uber. Still, it's hard to imagine how someone can leave some of these things in their ride share, from an oxygen tank to an ankle monitor. 🚙 😬

Voters in California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota headed to the polls today to vote in primaries that will shape the remainder of President Donald Trump's second term.
|
In Iowa, the race to succeed retiring Sen. Joni Ernst is more competitive than the GOP would like, while in New Jersey four Democrats are vying to unseat Republican Tom Kean Jr., whose conspicuous and mostly unexplained absence from House votes has riled opponents. In California, the gubernatorial race and newly redrawn congressional districts have attracted the attention of Democrats across the nation.

Rubio: Iran war is 'over.' Is it?
|
During congressional testimony Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Iran war is "over" ‒ even as he admitted negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and curb Tehran's uranium enrichment are not guaranteed to produce a deal. Rubio sparred with New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who shot back at his former Senate colleague, "The war is not over."
|
Even the word "war" is fraught as there was never any formal declaration, nor the constitutionally mandated congressional authorization for war. A tenuous ceasefire remains in place, though both sides have accused the other of violating it. Meanwhile, Israel has continued its strikes inside Lebanon, where it says it's working to eradicate Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group.
