- Kevin McCarthy Calls Out Speaker Johnson for Sending Lawmakers Home: ‘Stop Rec...
Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy called out his immediate successor on Thursday, advising him to “stop recessing” the House of Representatives. On June 30, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) canceled votes and sent House members home early for a two-week holiday recess after a handful of Republicans revolted, preventing votes on key pieces of legislation because the bills had not undergone committee or floor action. McCarthy appeared on Thursday’s Hannity, where guest host Kellyanne Conway said Republicans are not doing enough ahead of November’s midterm elections. “It’s not enough to say, ‘They’re socialists. We’re not,'” she said. “We have to finish our sentences, and I’m worried that if we’re just pointing at the Democrats and saying, ‘You are socialists,’ we’re not taking advantage of saying who we are. So who are we?” McCarthy responded by saying Johnson should keep House members at the Capitol and Republicans should explain their policies to the public. “The thing that you have to have, you have the majority in the House right now,” McCarthy said. “Stop recessing. Show the American public what you are by passing the legislation that you believe in. You can’t sit back and say, ‘The Democrats are socialists, and they can’t do it.’ You’ve got to show them what you’re able to achieve. Lay out that agenda that you’re able to do. Yes, you secured the border. Take that, but make sure you’re lowering the prices, you’re lowering the fuel costs, and also that you’re making our streets safe again. Pass the legislation day in and day out between now and the election, and show them what you believe in.” Johnson ascended to the speakership after McCarthy was ousted from the position in 2023.

Per the report, agents believed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving a white van carrying one of two Guatemalan nationals they were investigating. But the suspected target was actually not inside the vehicle. The encounter unfolded Tuesday morning after federal agents attempted to stop Araujo’s van. The situation quickly escalated, and an agent shot Araujo in the abdomen. He later died at a hospital. The Department of Homeland Security has maintained that Araujo tried to use the van as a weapon against officers before the shooting. However, the Times reported that no publicly available video or other evidence has emerged to corroborate that claim. A DHS spokeswoman told the newspaper that agents had previously conducted surveillance at an address connected to one of the investigation’s targets, where they had observed two white vans. When agents returned on Tuesday, they spotted what they believed was one of those vehicles with “an individual who resembled the target” and initiated the stop. The Times also reported that the agents involved were not wearing body cameras. DHS’s inspector general is investigating the shooting, while the FBI’s Houston field office said it is examining what authorities have described as an assault on a federal law enforcement officer. On Thursday, Araujo’s son, Ronaldo Salgado, joined CNN’s Erin Burnett on OutFront to emphasize that his father “was also in the process of obtaining a work permit” and that he knows his “dad would have stopped had ICE agents formally and clearly identified themselves.” Juan Proaño, League of United Latin American Citizens CEO and a fellow CNN guest, also made clear on Thursday that despite ICE having successfully identified Araujo on-scene after the shooting, he was still checked into the hospital as “John Doe,” and his family has not yet been reunited with his body. Additionally, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday about Araujo’s case, “We made the decision — obviously, we will maintain diplomatic relations — to file a formal complaint with both state and federal prosecutors in the United States against whoever is found responsible for what we consider to be homicides or, in other cases, for human rights violations.” Watch Ronaldo Salgado’s interview above via CNN.The post Federal Agents Fatally Shot Man After Mistakenly… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Fox News Host Accuses Democrat of ‘Indoctrinating’ Young Kids by Telling The...Fox News’s Charlie Hurt accused Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of instilling communist values in children by talking to them about sharing. El-Sayed is a former public health official in Michigan and holds an M.D. from Oxford University, but he did not pursue a medical degree. The success of his campaign has shocked Democratic Party establishment figures, as several polls show him leading Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary by somewhere between two and nine points. El-Sayed’s campaign has drawn strong support from progressives, and he has been compared to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdnai, a democratic socialist. El-Sayed and Stevens will square off in the primary on Aug. 4. Hurt guest-hosted Thursday’s Jesse Watters Primetime and took aim at “ranks of commie radicals” surging in Democratic primaries across the country in recent weeks, stating that they are “positioning for their takeover.” “This commie doc without a medical license is running for Senate in Michigan, and he’s already hard at work indoctrinating your kids,” Hurt added, before teeing up Exhibit A – an ad featuring El-Sayed talking to young schoolchildren: EL-SAYED: My whole name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. […] CHILD: Are you a doctor? EL-SAYED: Am I a doctor? It depends on who you talk to on the internet. […] CHILD: Billionaires don’t wanna spend more because they might be greedy and they weren’t raised well. EL-SAYED: I think it’s important that if you have something, that you share. Imagine you guys had a billion cupcakes. Imagine that. Can you imagine a billion cupcakes? Do you think you could eat all billion by yourself? CHILDREN: No. EL-SAYED: It would give you a really bad stomach ache, right? The clip ended, and Hurt gave a disapproving look before moving on.

- Israel Shared ‘Intelligence’ Suggesting Iran Was ‘Considering’ Killing T...Israel shared “intelligence” with the U.S., suggesting Iran was “considering” a new plan to kill President Donald Trump, according to a Thursday exclusive from The Wall Street Journal. CNN’s Erin Burnett welcomed the Journal’s Anat Peled on Thursday’s edition of OutFront, where Peled said, “Israel recently shared this fresh intelligence. It says that it indicates that there was a plan that Iran was contemplating to kill Trump, and this would help to explain some of his behavior.” Peled’s remarks referred to Trump’s statements aboard Air Force One on Wednesday. He told journalists of Iran, “I’m number one on their list, before you. But if I go, you go, right?” Additionally, on Wednesday, the president revealed that he would return from the NATO summit aboard the existing Air Force One rather than the $400 million Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar. Trump said the new plane was instead flying to military bases in Europe so U.S. troops could see it because it is “truly magnificent,” yet per Burnett on Thursday, “four U.S. officials” now say the swap was due to “security concerns.” According to Peled, her reporting also proves that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been speaking “very frequently during the war” with “late-night phone calls,” but their “relationship recently soured.” During Saturday’s funeral for slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, attendees held signs that read, “We will kill Trump.” According to an April piece from The New York Times, “In the Situation Room on Feb. 11, Mr. Netanyahu made a hard sell, suggesting that Iran was ripe for regime change and expressing the belief that a joint U.S.-Israeli mission could finally bring an end to the Islamic Republic.” During that same meeting, Israel shared Mossad intelligence with the U.S indicating that “an intense bombing campaign could foster the conditions for the Iranian opposition to overthrow the regime.” “This was obviously a concern to [Trump]. He has been a target of Iran in the past,” Peled continued of the alleged new Trump plot, referencing past promises by the country to kill the president over the assassination of Qassem Soleimani. Burnett went on to ask for more details of the possible plot, such as how far along the plan was, to which Peled responded, “We don’t have those details right now. We just know that these two countries,” Israel and the U.S., “their military cooperation, intelligence cooperation has really… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump Administration Walks Back Key Export Figure With Stunning 90% Revision
AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin President Donald Trump’s administration walked back a headline-grabbing U.S. beef export figure on Thursday after the Department of Agriculture acknowledged it had published erroneous data, revising the number down by roughly 90%, according to Reuters. Just one week earlier, the USDA reported that net U.S. beef export sales for the week ending June 25 had soared to 126,062 metric tons — a nearly 500% jump from the previous week and the highest weekly total of 2026. But in a revised report released Thursday, the agency lowered that figure to just 12,064 metric tons. The original report immediately drew skepticism from traders and analysts, Reuters reported, with some questioning whether the unusually large sales were even plausible. The USDA said on Thursday that the figures had been “reported in error,” though it offered no further explanation for what caused the mistake. Among the figures that raised eyebrows were reported sales of 38,434 metric tons of U.S. beef to Chile and 32,274 metric tons to Italy — neither of which is typically a major destination for American beef exports. Thursday’s revision reduced those totals to 367 metric tons for Chile and 350 metric tons for Italy, while export sales to 14 other countries were also revised downward. The correction is likely to intensify scrutiny of the agency’s reporting after staffing losses and other recent data issues. Reuters reported that the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service, which oversees export sales reporting, lost roughly 21% of its workforce during the first half of last year. The agency has also faced criticism after significantly underestimating U.S. corn acreage last year and delaying a quarterly agricultural trade report. Before reversing course, though, the USDA had publicly defended the report. According to the outlet, the agency said on July 2 that multiple export sales had been reported late and that it had confirmed the figures with an exporting company, stating, “As part of the Export Sales Reporting team’s data review of weekly submissions, the exporting company was contacted, and the ESR team confirmed that the quantities are correct and were reported as MTs.”The post Trump Administration Walks Back Key Export Figure With Stunning 90% Revision first appeared on Mediaite.

AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File A Boston man has been charged after authorities say he boarded an MBTA commuter rail train carrying homemade explosive devices and allegedly made a series of disturbing remarks about bombs, extremist groups, and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to a Thursday press release from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, 29-year-old Shane Cautillo was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on June 29 on charges including possession of a hoax incendiary device, possession of a hoax device or substance, unlawful possession of fireworks, and disorderly conduct on a public conveyance. Judge James Coffey ordered Cautillo held on $10,000 bail and barred him from using MBTA transit or possessing dangerous weapons. He is scheduled to return to court on July 28 for a pre-trial hearing. Prosecutors said MBTA Transit Police were dispatched to Boston’s North Station shortly after 10:30 p.m. on June 27 after receiving reports of a suspicious passenger aboard a commuter rail train. According to investigators, another passenger told officers that Cautillo had been loudly discussing building bombs and giving them to extremist organizations, terrorist groups, and homeless people. The witness also reported that Cautillo said he had been inspired by the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Police said Cautillo was carrying several items that immediately raised concern, including a disconnected lithium battery, an electric towel warmer with exposed wires, and an electric scooter with a bag attached to it. A hazardous-device technician was called to inspect the items. According to the district attorney’s office, an X-ray of the towel warmer indicated “a possible power source, fusing, explosive charge, and switch in the container.” After the device was rendered safe, investigators recovered a duct-taped lithium battery, several smaller batteries, a cellphone, a power adapter, a water bottle, and a container of BOOM Margarita wine cocktail from inside. Authorities also examined the bag attached to the scooter, where an X-ray revealed suspected fireworks and additional electrical components. While bomb technicians attempted to render the device safe, several fireworks ignited, causing a small explosion. Officials said no officers or civilians were injured during the incident. Afterward, Cautillo allegedly told officers he intended to harm himself. He was taken to a local hospital by Boston EMS for evaluation before being placed in police custody. An explosives detection K9 later searched the train and surrounding area, with authorities determining there were no remaining… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
