Tuesday is a big primary day. Here are key races to watch
Six states — California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, South Dakota and New Mexico — hold elections on Tuesday. Most of the attention is on California and Iowa, where there are competitive primaries for governor. In both states, the Democratic Party also sees a road map to control of Congress in the fall.
In California’s unique primary system, voters send the top two vote-getters to November’s general election, regardless of candidates’ political parties. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is term limited, and California voters will also pick who should move on to the general election in five new Democratic-leaning congressional districts.

Trump’s Stupid, Costly, and Deadly War with Iran:
Duckworth to Rubio: "That's an astonishing figure. In just 14 weeks, President Trump will have blown through as much if not more money in Iran than he thinks Congress should spend on US diplomacy for the entirety of the next fiscal year."
