- Laura Ingraham Expresses Frustration With Iran War: ‘How Are They Continuing t...
Fox News host Laura Ingraham expressed frustration with President Donald Trump’s ongoing war in Iran on Tuesday, questioning how the Iranians were still able to strike U.S. targets if their military was destroyed. Ingraham spoke with former State Department official Nathan Sales about the U.S. strikes against Iran on Tuesday in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter by an Iranian drone. CENTCOM called the bombing a “self-defense operation,” claiming the move was a “proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.” Trump vowed to respond to the Iranian attack earlier on Tuesday, though he later claimed the move “wasn’t a big deal.” The move came as a bit of a surprise because of Trump’s conflicting remarks and the 38 times the president has claimed that the two sides were close to reaching a deal. Fox News host Jesse Watters noted the frequency of that remark on Tuesday, claiming it had reached a point where he no longer understood “what that means.” Ingraham made a similar remark a few hours later, questioning Sales on another long-repeated administration line. “We keep hearing their military is destroyed,” she said of the Iranians. “But if their military is destroyed, how are they continuing to hit us? I mean, an Apache helicopter costs about, what, about $46 million?” She later reiterated the question, pressing Sales on the extent of the damage to Iran and claiming Americans “can’t wrap their heads around” the continued strikes while so many claim Iran’s capacity is so severely limited. Sales said that Iran continued to be a threat despite “substantially degraded” military power. Read their exchange below: INGRAHAM: One thing that a lot of Americans can’t really wrap their heads about here is we keep hearing that they’ve been destroyed, decimated. The word is often used ungrammatically, but nevertheless– SALES: It’s not one in ten. INGRAHAM: And yet– yes, thank you. But, so it’s– we hear that, and we know there’s extensive damage. Yet these drones are lethal, and they’re easy to make. They’re fairly cheap, and obviously did some damage to us last night over Oman. How can we guard against that? How can we protect against that, given the stakes here, again back home, and over there? SALES: Well, I think the Iranian military threat has been substantially degraded. It hasn’t gone down to zero, but it’s gone from, you know, one hundred maybe to fifteen or twenty percent of what it was… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Trump Administration Has Detained More Than 500 Babies and Toddlers: Report
Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto via AP Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detained at least five hundred babies and toddlers since President Donald Trump began his second term, according to a new report. ICE held an average of 25 children aged three or younger per day, an analysis by MS NOW and The Marshall Project showed. Data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the number of detained babies was ten times higher than in former President Joe Biden’s last year in office, when an average of less than three children that age were held nationwide per day. Many of the children held by ICE over the past year have been kept in custody for time periods far exceeding the twenty-day limit determined by a federal judge in 2015. The report claimed that one hundred and seventy-five babies and toddlers were held in violation of this limit between Trump’s inauguration and this March. No children were held for more than twenty days under Biden. The main facility where these children are held is the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, which was closed by Biden and subsequently reopened by Trump. The report cited a few specific cases of babies being held in ICE custody, noting the horrific results of conditions on the young children. One two-year-old identified as Kaleth, detained with his family in March, stopped eating for almost two weeks, throwing up food, and ceasing to have bowel movements. Another one-year-old named Amir stopped speaking almost entirely and faced his own problems with food. “According to Amir’s mother, Alsu, employees at Dilley forced her to wean him off formula, claiming he was too old. The solid food options, Alsu insisted, were not appropriate for a 1-year-old,” the report read. “She described being so desperate to get Amir to eat that she sucked a spicy pasta sauce off noodles so she could feed them to her son. She and Azat resorted to hiding cereal from the dining hall at breakfast in their socks and hoods for later, so their child wouldn’t go to sleep hungry.” Another case involves a one-year-old at Dilley being refused medication other than Tylenol for a fever and lethargy. The child eventually lost consciousness and spent a week in a hospital, where she was diagnosed with COVID-19, an ear infection, pneumonia, bronchitis, and RSV. ICE and DHS representatives did not comment on the specific cases cited in the story,… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Sen. Tuberville Slammed by GOP Colleague for ‘Remarkable’ Attack on Fellow R...
(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)/(Screenshot) Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) was called out for his attacks on fellow Republicans on Monday in a scathing email sent by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) to his GOP colleagues. The Senate passed $70 billion in immigration enforcement funding on Friday, with all Republicans but Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voting for the bill. The process saw several potential amendments to the bill shot down, including proposed provisions to block President Donald Trump’s “anti-weaponization fund.” One of those rejected amendments was put forward by Tillis, who expressed his anger over the move in an email on Monday, claiming he could not understand how a supermajority could vote against it. That, however, was not his biggest issue with the Senate’s Friday vote. “But the real problem I have is that the President (and a few of our members?) forced us to take two more unsuccessful votes for the SAVE Act at the expense of our most vulnerable members in cycle,” wrote Tillis. The SAVE Act, legislation tightening voter ID laws, has been a favorite of the president for months, with Trump urging lawmakers to remove the filibuster in order to get the act through Congress. Tillis excoriated Tuberville and other senators for calling out Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in “a circular firing squad,” claiming it would only help her presumptive challenger Graham Platner (D) in the upcoming midterm elections. He wrote: Even worse, Tommy Tuberville and others initiated a circular firing squad calling out Susan Collins and other republicans by name. Amazing: Members NOT in cycle attacking our most at-risk member because she supports the view of 65% of the voters in her state. Tommy Tuberville said: “It was beyond EMBARRASSING that “Republicans” continue to block the SAVE America Act @SenThomTillis, @LisaMurkowski, @SenMcConnell, and @SenatorCollins have not only betrayed their constituents – they are ACCOMPLICES in Democrats’ “Illegals First” agenda. The people of North Carolina, Alaska, Kentucky, and Maine deserve better.” I find this remarkable on several levels, but you would think a member of Tommy’s comms team who has a spouse working on the NRSC’s leadership team could see how this is only helpful to Susan’s opponent. Do these people talk? Other members have referred to those who oppose nuking the filibuster and passing the SAVE Act as “traitors” and “defectors” on social media. Everyone knew the SAVE Act votes would fail, yet we went ahead anyway because the… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - ‘I Don’t Know What That Means’: Skeptical Jesse Watters Perplexed by Trump...The U.S. bombed Iran on Tuesday after the latter shot down a U.S. Army Apache helicopter the day before. The chopper’s crewmembers were rescued in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed after the U.S. and Israel launched the war in February. President Donald Trump had vowed a U.S. response. The exchange of fire is just the latest between the U.S. and Iran, despite the so-called ceasefire the two sides agreed to on April 7. It was supposed to last two weeks, but it has been extended multiple times. News of the U.S. attack broke during Tuesday’s edition of The Five on Fox News, where co-host Jesse Watters offered an instant reaction in which he noted that Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. and Iran are nearing a deal to end hostilities: The president indicated he does not want to resume major combat operations. He said if we did do that, you’d have the strait closed for another two, three, four months. And he doesn’t want that. And he keeps saying we’re very close. We’re days away. And I don’t know what that means. We’ve heard that for a very long time. The oil has gone down, and it was closed at, I think, $89 today, but gas prices are very high. There’s a lot of people in the administration, I think, that would like to see the job finished, and others think that, you know, we’re pretty close But what do we know? On Monday, Vice President JD Vance claimed that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran were ongoing, despite Iranian officials saying last week they had walked away from talks over Israel’s ongoing invasion of Lebanon. Iran has insisted that Israeli withdrawal from that country be part of any permanent deal. “And I think they’re coming to the table, putting some real things on the table,” Vance stated. But Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker and main negotiator, said that the U.S. is “neither seeking a ceasefire nor seeking dialogue.” Watch above via Fox News.The post ‘I Don’t Know What That Means’: Skeptical Jesse Watters Perplexed by Trump’s Latest War Claim first appeared on Mediaite.

- Grand Juror Told Trump DOJ Prosecutor ‘Broadview Six’ Case Was a ‘Crock of...
An already unusual federal criminal case got even wilder Tuesday as grand jury transcripts were made public — a rare development that was ordered by the judge after finding improprieties in the proceedings — including one grand juror who flat-out declared the prosecution’s case to be a “crock of sh*t.” The case derives from an altercation at the Broadview ICE detention center in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois between federal agents and Democratic activist protesters that resulted in six people being charged for allegedly “physically hinder[ing] and imped[ing] a federal agent’s vehicle. Among those charged was then-Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazalah. Long story short, the entire case imploded last month when Judge April Perry with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, a Biden appointee, hauled in the prosecutors from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice to demand an explanation for improprieties in the grand jury proceedings. The prosecutors had turned in transcripts from the grand jury proceedings that were redacted and the judge was not satisfied with that, demanding the full transcripts. U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros permanently dismissed all remaining charges against the defendants, and was sharply scolded by the judge, who had previously served in that same U.S. Attorney’s Office herself. The “trust had been broken” between the prosecutors and the court, Perry said, commenting that she had “never seen the types of prosecutorial behavior before a grand jury that I saw in those transcripts,” lambasting the federal prosecutors for moments where they made improper comments to the grand jury, misrepresented or withheld information, or otherwise failed to meet their ethical and professional obligations. One specific issue was the multiple attempts the prosecutors made to get the indictment, failing to inform the grand jury of the prior no true bill that had been returned when the initial grand jury rejected the charges. Those transcripts were made public on Tuesday, and several passages were soon highlighted by legal commentators. One particularly notable section was an exchange between a grand juror being quizzed by prosecutor Sheri Mecklenburg about being able to “have an open mind” during deliberations. As local Capitol News Illinois legal affairs reporter Hannah Meisel noted, it is “extremely rare” for grand jury transcripts to be released. NEWS: *extremely rare* grand jury transcripts have been released in this case. This is from Oct. 16, 2025, when at least one grand juror was… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - John Thune Receives Rare Praise on the Left For Insisting Rigged Election Allega...
(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File) Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) received praise from an unexpected source on Tuesday after he said on CNBC that allegations of voter fraud must actually be proven to have any meaning. “Frankly, you have to prove if there was cheating, and uh… And clearly, uh… That’s something that you would have to do in California or anywhere else for that matter,” Thune told CNCB on Tuesday morning, while weighing on President Donald Trump’s outlandish claims that Los Angeles mayor race was rigged. “But the fact that it takes days — literally days — to be able to count votes in a state like California, when there are other states around the country who do that very quickly and get an outcome and a result, uh… It’s, it’s incompetence if nothing else. And you know, whether or not there was actual rigging is something that would have to be proven. But clearly this is a system in California that doesn’t work and doesn’t inspire confidence and trust in voters,” concluded Thune, taking a swipe at California’s lengthy vote-counting process. Thune’s comment was clipped and quickly went viral on X, with Pod Save America host Tommy Vietor taking note. “This is a totally fair criticism by @LeaderJohnThune and one shared by many Democrats in California. Appreciate him not spreading disinformation like @MeghanMcCain and many others who let internet brain rot convince them that Spencer Pratt was going to get elected mayor of LA,” Vietor said of Thune while sharing the clip.

Fans of Trump also took to X to blast Thune for insisting that allegations require proof. “You really have fallen off the cliff. YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY!!!!” wrote one such critic.
