- ‘What Are You Talking About?!’ CNN Debate on Immigration Goes Way Off the Ra...
CNN’s Abby Phillip had to step in and try to focus a roller coaster immigration debate on NewsNight where the guests could barely be heard over one another. On Tuesday’s NewsNight, former Texas congressional candidate Isaiah Martin took issue with Marc LoPresti, CEO of Market Rebellion, referring to the “open border policy” of former President Joe Biden, pressing him to “define” the actual policy he was referring to. Phillip reported before the debate that thousands of people under TPS (temporary protective status) are now at risk of deportation after the Supreme Court recently ruled in President Donald Trump’s favor on the matter. “Officials can now refer asylum seekers to immigration judges without a formal interview. It’s a change that could affect more than 450,000 cases and it effectively bypasses a step in the asylum process,” she said, adding that a “major operation” is reportedly underway to kick thousands of Haitans under TPS out of the country. Haiti is currently under a Level 4 travel advisory, with the State Department warning Americans to stay clear of the country due to rampant crime. LoPresti argued that officials may be going “too far” in some instances on deportations, but it’s only because of the “scope” of the problem, which he blamed Biden for. “I think the issue, Abby, is that the scope of the problem with Biden’s open border policies, we did allow a lot of people that should not be here in an unprecedented scale to come into this country,” he said, adding, “What happens is when the pendulum swings in either direction, Abby, too far, the response is often commensurately too far.” Martin then pressed him to define the actual Biden policy. Check out the exchange below: ISAIAH MARTIN: What is that open border policy? Can you define what that means? MARC LOPRESTI: I can tell you that there were more than 3000 murders committed. MARTIN: I’m asking you what is the open border policy? Can you define what that is? What is the policy? LOPRESTI: Letting people flow over the border — MARTIN: How did they let? There were still immigration officers. What are you talking about?! Define the policy. LOPRESTI: They were instructed to allow those people to come into this country. MARTIN: Define the policy though. Are you saying that immigration officers weren’t there along the southern border during the time that Biden was in office?

Former FBI Director James Comey filed a scorching motion to dismiss the indictment against him — accusing President Donald Trump and the DOJ of ‘selective and vindictive prosecution.’ In a 54-page filing late Tuesday night in U.S. District Court in North Carolina, the former FBI Director slammed the DOJ for bringing the case against him. Comey was charged, in April 2026, with two criminal counts connected to a social media post in which he depicted seashells arranged to show the numbers “86 47” — which the DOJ contends is “serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.” “This is the second indictment that the DOJ has obtained against Mr. Comey in less than a year—both at President Trump’s direction,” the brief read. “In September 2025, President Trump ordered the DOJ to prosecute Mr. Comey for unspecified crimes. A White House aide improperly installed as U.S. Attorney swiftly executed that directive, securing an indictment in the Eastern District of Virginia. Yet because that indictment was fatally defective, a district court quickly dismissed it. The President thereafter fired the Attorney General.” Comey’s motion argued, “the ensuing indictment is not based on a good-faith application of the law to the facts; instead, it effectuates a years-long campaign by the President to use the criminal process to punish Mr. Comey for his protected speech and because of the President’s deep-seated animosity.” The legal argument the brief is centered on is the claim that Comey’s post was protected speech under the First Amendment. “The indictment must be dismissed under two bedrock legal doctrines. First, the government instigated this prosecution based on Mr. Comey’s protected speech and to vindicate the President’s animus towards Mr. Comey, in violation of First Amendment and due process principles. Second, the government engaged in selective prosecution, in violation of equal protection principles. Dismissal of federal criminal charges under these doctrines has historically been rare. That is because for decades the DOJ’s independence and integrity have guarded against the use of the criminal process to punish enemies or settle political scores. The prosecutions of Mr. Comey mark a sharp break from that tradition. Ample objective evidence—much of which comes directly from government officials’ own public statements and admissions—establishes that the President’s animus toward Mr. Comey led to this vindictive and selective prosecution.” ——The post James Comey Files Scorching Motion to Have His… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - Andy Beshear Visits CNN and Dares Scott Jennings to Call Mitch McConnell Live on...Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) went on CNN on Tuesday evening and challenged network contributor Scott Jennings to call Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on air if he “supposedly” already talked to him. Beshear joined CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on The Source where he said he has not received a direct response from McConnell’s team after hitting the senator with an ultimatum: go on camera to show he still has the capacity to do his job in the Senate or resign. Beshear said: This is now the second request I’ve made on behalf of the people of Kentucky. Listen, what’s happening here is someone has been away from their job for about six weeks. And anybody who’s watching, if they were away from their job for six weeks, they’d have to call their boss, explain what’s going on, and talk about when they could get back to work. I respect everyone’s privacy, especially with their health. But when you run for these types of offices, you give up some of that privacy. Beshear’s letter followed a new photo of McConnell with his wife as questions about the 84-year-old senator’s health has caused concerns about debate about age limits for members of Congress. McConnell was hospitalized after being found unconscious in his home in June. McConnell’s team has released two photos of the senator and close allies like Scott Jennings have claimed they’ve spoken to him directly, but he’s done no interviews. Beshear said if Jennings had “supposedly” talked to McConnell already then he should be able to get him on the phone for CNN and put the “speculation” to rest. Jennings has been pushed to get McConnell on the phone before, but, as Collins noted, he’s thus far “refused” to do so. The governor said: Listen, if he supposedly had a 17 minute conversation with Scott Jennings, he can call in and have a three minute conversation with you. He can go to camera and just let us know he’s doing all right, which is what we all ultimately hope for. But it is incumbent upon him to have enough respect from the people of Kentucky and the United States of America to do the bare minimum and be honest and transparent. Beshear said later he’s not sure if the photos released of McConnell accurately show his condition and argued they “stoked” speculation. He challenged Jennings to get McConnell on… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago

Screenshot via TMZ Sports Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo can be seeing arguing with a female police officer in newly-released footage from his drunk driving arrest in Wisconsin. The California Post and TMZ both obtained footage from the July 23 arrest in Milwaukee. Romo was arrested and cited for operating while intoxicated (OWI). Romo can be seen in the footage telling the officer multiple times that he needs to contact his lawyer. He told the officer he was on his way to see his grandparents and he claimed he’d consumed “zero” alcoholic drinks. Romo said he was contacting his attorney after the officer asked him to take a field sobriety test. Romo eventually started recording the incident with his phone. “I’ll do it,” Romo said about the field sobriety test, “but I’m not allowed to call my lawyer first? Am I allowed to call my lawyer first? The officer informed Romo he could not call his lawyer in the middle of an OWI investigation. At another point, Romo asked, “Because I’m coming from a golf course you think I’m drunk?” EXCLUSIVE: Tony Romo told cops he was on his way to meet his grandma and grandpa when he was pulled over and ultimately busted for OWI … newly released body camera footage shows. pic.twitter.com/visfkPfxGT — TMZ (@TMZ) July 29, 2026 The officer detained Romo, a longtime sports broadcaster with CBS since retiring from the NFL in 2017, and said they would conduct the field sobriety test somewhere safer as they were on a highway during the traffic stop. The officer said later in the video she smelled alcohol from the vehicle and found unopened shooter bottles with Romo’s belongings. Romo eventually did the field sobriety test, but then refused a breathalyzer. “Oh, no. We’re not doing that. I’ve heard from all the lawyers don’t ever do that. So, we’re not going to do that,” he said. Romo was cited for OWI, a first offense, and a Milwaukee County District Attorney spokesperson told the Post that the case was determined to be a “a traffic violation and not a criminal charge.”The post ‘You Think I’m Drunk?!’ Watch the Bodycam Footage of Tony Romo’s Drunk Driving Arrest first appeared on Mediaite.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., left, shakes hands with President Donald Trump as he speaks in the Oval Office of the White House, Wednesday, June 10, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) President Donald Trump seems to have done a 180 on his one-time foe Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) — despite the senator, just days ago, voicing heavy criticism of the Iran war. In a surprising Truth Social post, the president raved about Paul — seemingly claiming that the recent primary defeat of his fellow Kentuckian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has scared him straight. “THE MASSIE MASSACRE in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky has had a really great impact on Senator Rand Paul who will be running in two years,” Trump wrote. “He’s been terrific, lately!” Just a year ago, Trump was in the midst of a full-on feud with the Kentucky senator — who attacked the president’s tariffs relentlessly, among many criticisms of the president’s actions. And Trump made his displeasure with Paul quite clear. “Rand votes NO on everything, but never has any practical or constructive ideas,” Trump wrote in a June 2025 Truth post. “His ideas are actually crazy (losers!). The people of Kentucky can’t stand him.” Trump also called Paul “disloyal” and insulted him numerous times in a variety of ways — including snubbing him on an invite to a White House luncheon at which every other Senate Republican was present. Semafor recently reported that there’s been a thawing in the relationship between Trump and Paul. The outlet cited Paul’s efforts to get the recent immigration Senate bill passed as a key turning point. But the two are still not quite in lockstep. Just six days ago, Paul offered up a scathing criticism of the president’s war in Iran. “I think the Iran war has not been a success,” Paul told CNN’s Manu Raju. “I’ve been opposed to the Iran war from the beginning. I think, by any objective measure, we’re worse off than we were before the war.” ——The post ‘He’s Been Terrific!’ Trump Fawns Over His Old Foe Rand Paul — Despite Senator Being a Vocal Iran War Critic first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago - WATCH: CNN Reveals Footage of U.S. Forces Responding to New Iranian Missile Atta...CNN revealed footage on Tuesday evening of U.S. forces intercepting Iranian missiles targeting a U.S. military base. John Berman, filling in for Anderson Cooper, played the footage a little over two hours after the attacks happened. CENTCOM said all missiles were successfully intercepted. The footage of the attack shows U.S. air defense crews making retaliatory launches and stopping missiles from Iran’s “Revolutionary Guard Corps.” The footage was from the Syria-Jordan border. Iranian forces reportedly targeted a U.S. base in Jordan. The attempted “surprise attack” followed Trump pausing days of strikes against Iran to give room for diplomatic talks. Trump warned on Friday morning on Fox News that if the talks don’t go well, he’s going to “go back and finish the job,” describing eliminated Iranian power plants and bridges. Trump told Fox: If I go back and finish up the job, as some people would like with bridges, very easy, I could take out most bridges in less than an hour. Less than an hour. Takes them 10 years to build a bridge, bridges take longest and power plants are second, I could knockout power plants within one day all of their power plants would be gone. I let them know that, with negotiation. Look, people want me to do that. The president reportedly backed off plans for a major attack last week in favor of peace negotiations. As Berman noted in his report, Iran responded “with missiles, not words.” Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to discuss the ongoing Iran war. CENTCOM announced Tuesday’s attack approximately an hour after it occurred. “At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” their statement reads.
