Tucker Carlson: "What do you think of Gaza?"

Zanny Beddoes: "I went in with the IDF, what you see is a flattened place... I think it's a disaster for the future of Israel"

Tucker: "Why would you describe it first as a disaster for the future of Israel? Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians murdered, but it's first and foremost a disaster for Israel? It's foremost a disaster for the families of the dead kids"

"The real problem with calling people anti-semites who aren't, is accusing the innocent of a crime they didn't commit"

"The real crime in Gaza is killing people who did nothing wrong"

"Those are the real problems, but no one can say it because you have to be like, oh no October 7th."

Zanny: "I don't know what you'e talking about Carlson."

Tucker Carlson: "Everyone watching this knows what I'm talking about."

I wish @CNN would have the guts to make a documentary about the Jan 6 people Donald Trump pardoned and the crimes they committed or planned AFTER being pardoned. It is a shocking list for anyone who researches this.

Sen. Van Hollen To Rubio: Trump foreign policy has become a dumpster fire

Van Hollen: This is your first public hearing since President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launched an illegal war against Iran. Netanyahu said he’s been waiting 40 years to do this. Turns out he finally found a president who was both stupid and reckless enough to join him.

The war has killed 14 American service members, wounded hundreds more, and killed thousands of civilians. It’s driving up the price of gas, food, and much more. Trump obviously doesn’t care. He called high gas prices “peanuts” and said, “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” That’s from the president of the United States.

And all for what? The president told us 91 days ago that we had won the war in Iran. Last year, he told the country Iran’s key enrichment facilities had been completely and totally obliterated. Was that false?

Let’s face it, Mr. Secretary, Trump foreign policy has become a dumpster fire. This is the same president who’s more interested in flattering Vladimir Putin than in protecting Ukrainian sovereignty. The president who lifted restrictions on the transfer of sophisticated U.S. chips to China but came back from his trip there with nothing but ballroom envy—he tweeted about that the other day.

This is the president who brought on Elon Musk to take a chainsaw to AID, which has enabled the current Ebola outbreak in the DRC. We’ve also witnessed corrupt crypto deals with the UAE royal family that have enriched the Trump family at the expense of our national security. We’ve seen an administration engage in extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, hijack Venezuelan oil, threaten to invade Greenland, and weaken the NATO alliance.

Here at home, a Reagan-appointed judge said that you and former Secretary Noem abused your powers when you locked up—and still seek to deport—students for protesting the destruction of Gaza. The Reagan-appointed judge said you did that, quote, “primarily on account of their First Amendment-protected political speech.”

Speaking of Gaza, the so-called “board of peace” seems to have run aground. Meanwhile, Senator Rubio once proclaimed that the U.S. must work to ensure that refugees who flee war, torture, and persecution are provided safe environments to live and thrive in—now, as Secretary of State in this administration, you have capped refugees at a record low of 17,500, and white South Africans, Afrikaners, have comprised roughly 99% of those slots. Mr. Secretary, a race-based refugee system.

At the same time, the president is preventing Cuban political refugees from entering the United States, even as you’ve imposed what I believe is a blockade on that repressive regime. The stated goal is to change the government there, but the only real change is a humanitarian crisis inflicted on millions of people, not members of the regime.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”

Rubio: "We're getting a lot of questions about us. I don't think it's fair because ultimately the people who have closed the Strait of Hormuz are Iran."

Sen. Schatz: "Nobody's defending what Iran is doing. I think what we're saying is this was not just predictable, it was predicted…It's really shocking to me the degree to which this administration expresses shock that the thing that everybody said was going to happen ended up happening."

BREAM: The Journal says the percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest since the period following the financial crisis. People say they're using them for necessities. Your message to them?

HASSETT: We talk to the CEOs of the credit card companies all the time. Delinquency is different from default, and there's not any financial threat to the credit card companies. It's just people are taking a little bit longer.

🚨BREAKING: Right-wing streamer Cam Higby was caught on video walking up to a group of protesters and pepper spraying multiple people, outside the Newark ICE Facility.

Then, as people reacted to being sprayed, an armed man pulled him away, telling him, “It’s not worth it… it’s time to go.”

Last time I checked… walking up to a group of people and spraying them with a chemical irritant is commonly charged as assault or battery.

And then, after spraying the crowd, the video show Higby, and the armed man, running into the ICE facility while agents allowed them inside.

Imagine the outrage if a left-wing activist walked up to a group of conservatives, pepper sprayed them, and then disappeared behind federal gates.

The headlines would never stop.

The law is supposed to apply equally to everyone.

I don’t believe in conspiracy theories and I won’t promote them but when the White House puts out nonsense like this they fuel them. The constant lies by this admin fuel all of the speculation. We can see the severe bruising on both hands. He obviously weighs more than this.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Perryman: They want to make the conversation about how much money is in there, who’s going to claim it—you know, like, let’s start with the fact that you have no authority. You don’t just get to sit at the White House and create these types of funds. There’s no authority to do that.

The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out:

“The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying.

Adam Hoffman could have faced life in prison. Instead, Ken Paxton and his office offered him a deal that kept him off the sex-offender registry and included no new jail time.”

BREAKING: Financial disclosures show Trump bought stock in UFC’s parent company, TKO Group, before announcing a UFC event on the White House South Lawn, giving massive publicity to a company in which he has a financial stake.

Benjamin Netanyahu has given orders for Israel to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip.

Can the media stop framing this as a threat to a ceasefire? When did Israel cease attacking Gaza?
