Karoline Leavitt’s swipe at conservatives against Iran war

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt took a swipe at members of President Donald Trump's MAGA base who have criticized his military action in Iran . 'X is not real life,' Leavitt said. 'This President lives in the real world.' Leavitt had stopped to gaggle with reporters Friday on the White House driveway when asked about Republican Party infighting. 'And with respect to MAGA, President Trump is the leader of MAGA,' she continued. 'He's the creator of the MAGA movement. And there is nothing more "America First" than taking out terrorists who have maimed and killed our own service men and women, who chant "death to America," and who pose a threat to the homeland.' Former Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly have thus far led the Iran war opposition.

Renegade Fetterman sparks Democratic firestorm for Noem’s replacement

Kristi Noem's exit from the Department of Homeland Security had barely been confirmed when one Democrat had already signed up to support her replacement. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman moved to back his Senate colleague Markwayne Mullin for the top DHS job almost immediately — earning the vicious fury of Democrats who are growing tired of his independence. 'I'm not sure how many fellow Democrats will vote to support our colleague @SenMullin as the next DHS Secretary, but I am AYE,' Fetterman posted on X.

Rubio backtracks after Trump rewrites Iran strike narrative

Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed the media misunderstood his comments indicating that the 'imminent threat' prompting the US to strike Iran was a pre-planned strike by Israel. Rubio, speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill before a closed-door Senate briefing on Iran Tuesday, said he was the victim of a bad clipping job and that he never indicated that Israel forced the US to strike Iran preemptively. 'I told you this had to happen anyway,' Rubio said. 'The President made a decision, and the decision he made was that Iran was not going to be allowed to hide behind its ballistic missile program, that Iran was not going to be allowed to hide behind its ability to conduct these attacks. That's what I said yesterday, and you guys need to play it. If you're going to play these statements, you need to play the whole statement, not flip it to reach a narrative that you want to,' he added.

Hillary Clinton’s heated exchange with Nancy Mace during Epstein deposition

Hillary Clinton exploded on Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace while explaining how she met Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after the 9/11 attacks. Mace grilled Clinton over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the current Trump official during a marathon congressional deposition last Thursday. Lutnick had attempted to recruit Epstein to attend an 'intimate fundraiser' for Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign. In a video of the deposition released Monday, the former first lady and secretary of state can be seen getting visibly angry after Mace interrupts her.

Trump obliterates Iran’s navy by sinking eleven boats

The US military said it struck Iran ’s largest naval warship following the launch of Trump’s ‘Operation Epic Fury.’ US Central Command also rebuked Iranian leadership for falsely claiming it had sunk an American aircraft carrier in the Gulf. 'The Iranian regime’s false messaging machine continues to falsely claim that it has sunk a US aircraft carrier. The only carrier that has been hit is the Shahid Bagheri, an Iranian drone carrier,' the US Central Command said. 'US forces struck the ship within hours of launching Operation Epic Fury.' Tehran reportedly used the IRIS Shahid Bagheri as a launching pad for drone attacks against US military base and Gulf allies following the death of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Backlash grows after Rubio concedes Israel forced US hand in Iran war

The US launched preemptive strikes against Iran after learning Israel was about to attack — and American troops in the region faced an imminent threat of retaliation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday. Rubio made the revelation on Capitol Hill, where he briefed a small group of congressional leaders on the joint US-Israel offensive. 'There absolutely was an imminent threat,' Rubio stated. 'And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.' Rubio said the Department of War determined that a defensive posture following an Israeli attack would only open the US to more casualties. Five American soldiers have died so far in combat.

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly oppose Trump’s Iran war

A new poll paints a bleak picture of public support for Operation Epic Fury: just 27 percent of American adults approve of the US strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader. The Reuters/Ipsos survey, which published Sunday, found 43 percent disapprove and 29 percent are undecided. The poll also found that about half of Americans believe the president is too willing to use military force to advance U.S. interests. Overall, 56 percent of those surveyed said Trump's readiness to deploy military power is excessive.

Trump breaks silence Sunday on the first US casualties of the Iran war

President Donald Trump broke his silence Sunday on the first US casualties of the Iran war in an exclusive phone interview with the Daily Mail. Three US service members were killed in the fighting. They have yet to be identified publicly. 'They're great people,' the president said. 'And, you know, we expect that to happen, unfortunately. Could happen continuous - it could happen again.' Trump acknowledged that the three casualties were the first in his second term, as the January capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and the June bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities were pulled off without a single American death.

Iranian leader plots for doomsday as Trump prepares for Iran strike

Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei is plotting for a doomsday scenario as President Donald Trump has set a new deadline for nuclear negotiations with the nation. Trump's top Middle Eastern negotiators - special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner , are set to meet with Iranian representatives in Geneva this Thursday to discuss a new nuclear deal. President Donald Trump, however, is not ruling out strikes against Iran in the next 10 to 15 days. Ali Larijani, a top Iranian national security official and Khamenei advisor, believes that his country is ready for whatever will come their way. 'We are ready in our country,' Larijani told Al Jazeera in Qatar this month. 'We are definitely more powerful than before. We have prepared in the past seven, eight months. We found our weaknesses and fixed them. We are not looking for war, and we won't start the war. But if they force it on us, we will respond.'

Inside the private world of Tulsi Gabbard and husband

Tulsi Gabbard pulled back the curtain on her typically hush-hush relationship with her cinematographer husband in a rare public post. Abraham Williams doesn't appear to spend much of his time in the nation's capital, where his wife works at the headquarters for America's intelligence community. Rather, the two appear to enjoy spending most of their time at their shared home in Texas . On Gabbard's usually job-focused social media accounts, the top US Intelligence official posted a romantic tribute to Williams last week accompanied by 10 images of them trailblazing the world together.

Report: Biden’s inner circle worried about his health

Members of former President Joe Biden's inner circle are concerned that the 83-year-old Democrat is showing the strain of cancer treatment while still appearing publicly. Biden is slated to travel to South Carolina on Friday to try and save the Palmetto State's first-in-the-nation Democratic primary, something the ex-President lobbied for after a win there in 2020 propelled him to the Democratic nomination. But the Washington Post reported Monday , citing two former Biden officials and an elected Democrat, that the former President at times has appeared more fatigued in private interactions in recent weeks.

Republican predicts Clintons will ‘play games’ in Epstein testimony

Bill and Hillary Clinton will be deposed this week over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein , as Republicans prepare to grill the pair on the [child predator's] explosive new files. Clinton's historic deposition Friday will be the first time a former president has been compelled to testify in a congressional investigation against his will. Hillary testifies Thursday. The pair finally agreed after being threatened with contempt charges. Clinton will be questioned over his relationship with the financier after files released by the Justice Department last month revealed new depths of their friendship which spanned the early 1990s and into the early 2000s. The most damning evidence centers around Clinton's flights on Epstein's private jet, which the ex-president claims were only ever related to his charitable work.

Bill Clinton at Epstein deposition: ‘I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong’

Bill Clinton has issued a blistering statement claiming that he 'did nothing wrong' with Jeffrey Epstein as he slammed Republicans for forcing Hillary to testify. 'I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong,' Clinton told lawmakers at a historic deposition on Friday near his home in Chappaqua, New York. The former president fumed at Republicans for dragging his wife to testify after Hillary on Thursday repeatedly told lawmakers she never met Epstein. 'Before we start, I have to get personal. You made Hillary come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing,' Clinton said. 'She has no memory of even meeting him. She neither traveled with him nor visited any of his properties. Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her was simply not right.'

Gavin Newsom’s reveals the breaking point with Kimberly Guilfoyle

The best was not yet to come in the marriage of Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom and Greek Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, who were married for about three years, more than a decade before her relationship with Donald Trump Jr. In Newsom's new book, Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery - likely a precursor for a 2028 presidential bid - he wrote about the early warning signs that the couple was doomed. And he also revealed when he knew it was over. It came as he defied both state and federal law to allow the practice of marrying same-gender couples in San Francisco during his early tenure as mayor of the city in 2004. 'I saw something in those marriages that I did not see in my own,' he wrote.

Trump blasts Omar and Tlaib after SOTU interruption

President Donald Trump on Wednesday floated that Democratic Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should 'get on a boat' and leave the U.S. after they interrupted his State of the Union address. While Trump stayed mostly restrained during his hour and 48-minute-long speech to Congress Tuesday night, he unleashed a furious tirade about the pair of Democrats - and two Hollywood celebrities - at lunchtime Wednesday. Trump suggested that he'd like to see Omar, Tlaib, actor Robert De Niro - who was protesting against Trump in Washington on Tuesday - and Rosie O'Donnell , a longtime foe of the President, float away.
