- ‘Civics 101!’ GOP Lawmaker Explains to Quizzical Maria Bartiromo How a Bill ...
A quizzical Maria Bartiromo asked Rep. French Hill (R-AK), who serves as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, to repeat his explanation on Fox Business about how the landmark 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act could become law even though President Donald Trump has refused to sign it. Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning, “I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97% with the Republican Party, and very high with the non-politician Dumocrats.” Although the housing bill overwhelmingly passed Congress, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has repeatedly said he doesn’t have the support to pass the SAVE America Act, which critics argue would make it more difficult for some segments of the population to vote. “Let me get your take on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing,” Bartiromo began. “It passed overwhelmingly, bipartisan support. You worked hard on that bill. What are your expectations? Does this become law even though the president doesn’t sign it?” “It certainly can,” Hill answered. “Article I, Section 7 says that at midnight tonight, if the president has not signed it into law, nor has he vetoed it, then the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will become law tonight, just past midnight.” Hill continued: It’s an important bill, it’s a bipartisan bill, as you note, but it unlocks the supply side to lowering the cost for constructing housing, building more housing, and our biggest challenge is housing supply since the end of the global financial crisis. We have just not had different kinds of supply keep up with demand across the country from all kinds of housing units, and that’s why this bill is needed, and why it’s got such strong support in both chambers. “But, but, I don’t understand how it becomes law even though the president doesn’t sign it, congressman,” Bartiromo said. “Section 7 of the Constitution says the president has — basically there are three choices when Congress passes a bill and brings it to the president’s desk. He may sign it, he may veto it, or 10 days after it’s transmitted to the White House it becomes law without his signature,” Hill said. “There you go. That’s it,” Bartiromo… [TheTopNews] Read More.25 mins ago - ‘He’s Gonna Flip’: John Fetterman’s Latest Campaign Move Sparks Alarm On...
Screenshot Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) sparked alarm on the left this week when it was reported that he and fellow Pennsylvania Sen. David McCormick (R-PA) set up a joint fundraising committee. Politico first reported on the new fundraising committee, called Common Ground PA, registered with the Federal Election Commission on Monday. FEC records showed that Common Ground PA listed four joint fundraising PACs: Every Vote PAC, Pennsylvania Honor, Fetterman for PA, and Friends of Dave McCormick. “Fetterman is listed as the leadership PAC sponsor for Every Vote PAC, while McCormick is named as the leadership PAC sponsor for Pennsylvania Honor,” noted local media of the filing. The Center Square, a local Pennsylvania political media outlet, reached out to Mike DeVanney, a McCormick campaign spokesman, who said of the move, “This is a donor-driven effort. This group of donors value the collaboration exhibited by Senators McCormick and Fetterman for Pennsylvania and want to support both of them.” The outlet also spoke to veteran Pennsylvania GOP political consultant Christopher Nicholas, who highlighted the rare nature of the two senators joining up. “This would seem to be a very intriguing development, and a further sign of the close coordination on not just policy, but now political issues between Senators McCormick and Fetterman,” Nicholas told The Center Square. “What most is of interest to me now is who do they want to support through this new joint fundraising committee?” Fetterman’s battle against the rising Democratic Socialists in his party and fierce support for Israel have left him at odds with progressives and many in the Democratic Party, leading to speculation he may switch to the GOP amid the tight battle for control of the Senate. Fox News’s liberal host Jessica Tarlov highlighted Fetterman’s recent teaming up with McCormick and replied, “So so bad.” So so bad https://t.co/6aHrq6qj3p — Jessica Tarlov (@JessicaTarlov) July 9, 2026 Rick Wilson, the longtime political operative and anti-Trump activist, added, “He’s gonna flip.” He's gonna flip. https://t.co/wwJVz0GHlk — Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) July 9, 2026 Below are some more reactions: Fetterman caucusing with the Republicans in 2027, and even trying to run in 2028 with their support, looks likelier and likelier by the dayhttps://t.co/qlfbDYMldj — Nick Field (@nick_field90) July 9, 2026 Another betrayal from Fetterman but look on the bright side, we’ll get Republicans to burn their money before Pennsylvania… [TheTopNews] Read More.54 mins ago - Colin Cowherd Gobsmacked Over San Antonio Spurs Announcer’s Firing for Alleged...
Screenshot Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd encouraged a former San Antonio Spurs announcer to pursue legal action after he was fired over an alleged affair. Earlier this week, Jacob Tobey — the lead play-by-play man for the Spurs — made an unusual post on his Instagram story. In it, Tobey wrote: This is my girlfriend of six years. But I cheated on her with Loren Waters. @lorenkwatrs So feel free to continue following me if you really think I’m a good guy because I’m not. :) The post included a photo of Tobey and his girlfriend.

Reacting to the news on The Herd, Cowherd was stunned to hear that Tobey lost his job just for allegedly cheating on his girlfriend. Cowherd said: Something new today: that you can get fired in America for cheating on your girlfriend. I had no idea that was legal. That literally happened. It’s a big story. You can get fired in America for cheating on your — not your wife — a girlfriend. Feels like you should hire an attorney. I don’t- that is a crazy story! I mean, Whatever.

(Alex Brandon/AP photo) President Donald Trump admitted to the New York Post on Friday that he’s left “instructions” on what to do if Iran follows through on its vow to assassinate him. “I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” he told The Post‘s Caitlin Doornbos. “I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.” Trump said during the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, this week that Iran may be looking to take him out, adding that he’s “their No. 1 target.” On the way back to the States, the president was forced to switch planes after the Secret Service reportedly voiced concerns about the new Air Force One, a $400 million jet gifted to him from the Qatari government. After that, Israel claimed it had shared intelligence with the president that the Islamic regime was “considering” a new plan to assassinate the president. In his interview with The Post, Trump denied those claims. “No, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no,” he said. “I’ve been No. 1 [on Iran’s kill list] for a long time, and it’s the way life is, you know.” He added, “I hope you’ll miss me.”The post Trump Admits He Left Explosive ‘Instructions’ in the Event He’s Assassinated by Iran: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) President Donald Trump announced on Friday that negotiations with Iran will continue, while making it clear that the ceasefire is “OVER.” “The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the president wrote on Truth Social. The post follows the United States launching fresh strikes against Iran after they violated a temporary ceasefire agreement by targeting multiple commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, where roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply moves through. Trump had previously signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran, which acted as a 60-day ceasefire agreement and a framework for a larger peace deal. Officials have since accused Iran of violating the agreement. The Treasury Department revoked a waiver that would have lifted sanctions on Iran selling oil after the “clear violation” of the deal. Trump has promised to “finish the job” if an agreement is not reached with Iran and he’s threatened to escalate military actions, floating the idea of taking the oil hub Kharg Island. “We attacked Kharg Island last night, knocked out a piece. I said, ‘Don’t touch the oil, because maybe we’ll take over Kharg Island,’” Trump said earlier this week. “I said, ‘Don’t hit the pipes, just hit everything else.’ And they hit it. They may hit it again tonight.” Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, responded to the president’s words by threatening to kill “every” American soldier that enters the country. “Come — we are waiting for you — and we promise that not a single American soldier will return alive,” the official wrote on X.The post Trump Fires Back at Iran’s Request to ‘Continue’ Peace Talks: ‘Ceasefire Is OVER!’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Pfeiffer, who served in many roles under former President Barack Obama, and Runway Country host Alex Wagner discussed Platner’s numerous controversies on Friday and the race to replace the far-left candidate following an ex-girlfriend accusing him of sexual assault. Pfeiffer said he “naively” bought into Platner’s story of PTSD struggles and eventual “redemption.” He bought into the story so much that he was willing to look past incendiary Reddit posts and a Nazi-inspired tattoo — which has since been covered, and Platner claimed he was unaware of the Nazi connection when he got the tattoo. Pfeiffer said: The thing that I’m mad at myself about is when we went through this process, you and I had this conversation then and we knew nothing about Platner, and then we saw the online posts and the things he said were horrible. I thought there was a real chance that could be disqualifying in the primary and the general to voters, but I did believe, naively apparently, the story he told about being a person who was dealing with PTSD, that dark time in their life, drinking, did a bunch of things, and then changed their life, improved. The former Obama aide stressed there should still be “space” for “people who make mistakes to still be in politics,” which Wagner agreed with. “Of course. I think redemption and empathy are, like, things we need to cultivate as a society beyond politics,” she said. On the Nazi tattoo, Pfeiffer argued he still doesn’t believe Platner is a “secret Nazi” because such an ideology would have been displayed in his online posts. “I think he got it, then figured out what it was, and kind of used it as a cocktail point. Look at my Nazi tattoo! He certainly knew about it before,” Wagner said. “I think he lied about when he discovered it was a Nazi tattoo, that I have come to believe. But this was a guy who was not shy about sharing his opinions online, so if he really was a Nazi, we would know that,” Pfeiffer acknowledged. He chalked the tattoo up to “bad judgment” fueled by alcohol and adrenaline from Platner’s overseas military service. Pfeiffer said he… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
