During a Friday appearance on CNN, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) accused President Donald Trump of either being ignorant or “lying to the American public” on Iran’s anti-aircraft capabilities. His comments come as news broke on Friday that a U.S. F-15 jet was shot down over Iran by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defense system. So far, one pilot has been rescued by American special operations forces, while the search for the second remains ongoing. “This happened a day after the president got on TV to the nation and said, among other bombastic claims, that they had completely eliminated Iranian anti-aircraft facilities,” Moulton said, referring to Trump’s Wednesday televised address. “24 hours later,” he continued, “they shoot down an advanced U.S. Fighter jet. This just shows how incredibly out of his league the president is. The commander in chief doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s lying to the American public, and he’s putting our troops at grave risk.” When CNN’s Brianna Keilar asked if Moulton expected to be briefed on the incident, he said: We expect to be briefed well after the fact, because that’s what this administration does. They tell Congress well after the fact what’s going on. They, you know, juice up the briefs so that they sound like pep talks rather than actually doing the proper oversight that’s required here, rather than having serious conversations about the way forward. And right now, this administration is totally lost because they don’t know what to do next. They don’t know how to get out of this mess. They do not know how to end this war. If there’s one thing that came out of the president’s speech the other night, besides the fact that he’s senile and falling asleep, is that there’s no plan. There’s no plan whatsoever; just a whole bunch of things about all the things they’re going to destroy and whatnot.

Screenshot via social media Tim Miller, the host of the Bulwark Podcast, kicked up a bevy of anger and mockery this week when he defended Hasan Piker, arguing that the controversial streamer should be accepted in the Democratic Party. Miller shared an article on Thursday by Bulwark reporter Lauren Egan titled, “How Big Is the Democrats’ ‘Big Tent’?” He then added: “If people really are arguing that the price of winning is becoming like a bigoted misogynist like Hasan Piker, then I’ll take not winning,” Jonathan Cowan told @Lauren_V_Egan. This seems like a bad message to me given the state of things. Piker has been stoking controversy on the left for months now, as his past rhetoric praising Hezbollah while calling the U.S. the world’s “top terrorist” and his recent visits to China and Cuba have raised eyebrows. Piker grabbed more headlines in recent weeks by joining a campaign rally for a progressive U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, sparking a debate about his role in the Democratic Party. Miller’s post quickly highlighted the intensity surrounding that debate. Journalist James Kirchick replied to Miller’s post, “I’m old enough to remember when @timodc thought standing against bigotry was worth losing an election over.” I’m old enough to remember when @timodc thought standing against bigotry was worth losing an election over https://t.co/0nyG0GR219 — James Kirchick (@jkirchick) April 2, 2026 The Free Press’s Peter Savodnik replied, “The Never Trumpers started out as a principled subset of conservatives horrified by Trump’s abandonment of conservatism, and they’ve morphed into media puppets shilling for the illiberal left. They are a cautionary tale about the dangers of tribalization in today’s America.” The Never Trumpers started out as a principled subset of conservatives horrified by Trump's abandonment of conservatism, and they've morphed into media puppets shilling for the illiberal left.

(Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto via AP) Two U.S. military HH-60W helicopters deployed in a high-risk search-and-rescue mission over Iran were struck by Iranian fire as they sought to recover aircrew from a downed fighter jet. A U.S. official confirmed to NBC News that the helicopters were involved in efforts to locate crew members from an F-15E Strike Eagle shot down over Iranian territory. Despite coming under fire, the official said, all service members aboard the helicopters were reported safe. One F-15E crew member was rescued by the team, while the fate of the second remains unclear as U.S. forces continue an intensive recovery effort. The F-15E was brought down on Friday, according to U.S. and Israeli officials, marking the first known loss of an U.S. combat aircraft in hostile territory since the conflict began last month. Open-source imagery circulating online appeared to show U.S. helicopters and C-130 tanker aircraft operating over Iranian territory. Major networks, including NBC and CNN, shared the following clip of a C-130 refuelling both helicopters in the air: Another footage from HC-130 & HH-60W over Iran.

At roughly the same time the F-15E was downed, a separate U.S. Air Force A-10 Warthog crashed in the Persian Gulf region near the Strait of Hormuz. The pilot of that aircraft was safely recovered.The post Rescue Helicopters Hit by Iranian Fire During Daring Mission to Find Downed Pilot first appeared on Mediaite.

(Left: Kevork Djansezian / AP file, Right: Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images) In a Friday post on X, Ret. Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honoré ripped Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s “reckless and outrageous” rhetoric amid the Iran war, surmising it “may be what gets these pilots tortured or killed.” Axios reporter Barak Ravid reported Friday that one of the two U.S. crew members from an F-15 jet shot down over Iran by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defense system had been rescued by American special operations forces. The search for the second remains ongoing. “Before the @WhiteHouse tries to whip up more war fever over these downed US fighter pilots in Iran, it’s worth noting that under international law, Iran is entitled to shoot down an American fighter jet and detain the pilots as prisoners of war (POWs), holding them until the end of hostilities,” wrote Honoré on Friday afternoon. “Which is why @DeptofWar recent ‘no quarter’ rhetoric was so reckless and outrageous, and why it may be what gets these pilots tortured or killed,” he continued, referring to Hegseth’s mid-March promise of “no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.” Draft Oped ; Iran War . Rules of Engagement; Before the @WhiteHouse tries to whip up more war fever over these downed US fighter pilots in Iran, it's worth noting that under international law, Iran is entitled to shoot down an American fighter jet and detain the pilots as… — Russel L. Honore' (@ltgrusselhonore) April 3, 2026 According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, “no quarter” means “refusing to spare the life of anybody, even of persons manifestly unable to defend themselves or who clearly express their intention to surrender” during wartime. Honoré went on to mimic the thought process of Iranian leadership as they continue to hear Hegseth’s comments: “Iran: ‘So, you’re announcing to the world that you do not recognize international humanitarian laws of war.'” “Prayers Up For our Pilots and the Rescue Teams,” he concluded. “We Need A Ceasefire Now! Follow The International Rules of War.” The retired general’s comments come at an already touchy time for Hegseth, as CNN senior political reporter Aaron Blake shared new, “brutal” polling of the Secretary of War on Friday. “35% approval, 65% disapproval. That’s -30,” he wrote on X. “76% of independents and 26% of GOP-leaners disapprove.”The post ‘May Be What… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Sideline Reporter’s Laptop Obliterated by Gatorade Bath as She Interviewed San...
Screenshot A MLB reporter’s laptop was completely trashed on Thursday night when it was caught in the middle of a celebratory Gatorade bath. Following the San Francisco Giants’ 7-2 win over the New York Mets on Thursday, Giants catcher Daniel Susac was chosen for the team’s post-game interview. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut, reaching base on all four plate appearances with three hits and a walk. As a result of such a stellar debut, Susac’s teammates decided to congratulate him with an ice-cold Gatorade bath. Right next to Susac was NBC Sports reporter Kylen Mills, who immediately recoiled as soon as the cold sports drink hit her, as well. Stay cool, rookie pic.twitter.com/FOtHoP4gbE — SFGiants (@SFGiants) April 3, 2026 Unfortunately for Mills, her computer ended up being the biggest casualty of the moment. The laptop was placed on a stand just a few feet away from the group, and other angles showed it violently bend backward under the weight of the Gatorade pour.
