U.S. forces have completed a new round of strikes inside Iran, according to U.S. Central Command.

Harder! Faster!

The nerve center of Iran’s most powerful military force just went dark.

U.S. forces have struck and destroyed an IRGC command and control center, hitting Iranian surveillance, communications, and air defense sites across Iran in response to the regime’s downing of a U.S.

Still short of a full-scale resumption of hostilities. Iran International: Donald Trump said 49 Tomahawk missiles had been fired at Iran as he oversaw ongoing US military strikes from the Situation Room, according to Fox News. Trump said the strikes also involved fighter jet bombardment, with the closest target around 40 miles from Tehran. Trump said the bombing would stop shortly but warned that if Iran does not sign a deal, the United States would escalate further attacks (Iran). Wall Street Journal: U.S. military forces were striking air defenses and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, a senior U.S. official said. No infrastructure sites were hit, the official said. Iranian state media reported explosions in areas along the Strait of Hormuz, including Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island and Sirik, and said its air defenses were engaging with U.S. jet fighters. The Pentagon cast the attacks as an act of coercive diplomacy designed to force Iranian concessions at the negotiating table (Wall Street Journal). Noah Rothman: This is the strait opening operation that has been overdue since mid-April (Rothman).

CENTCOM Announces Completion of Latest Round of Strikes in Iran

From CENTCOM Wednesday night: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed additional self-defense strikes against multiple targets in Iran, June 10, at the Commander in Chief’s direction. CENTCOM forces launched strikes on Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites across Iran. U.S. Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets fired precision munitions on Iranian targets that posed a threat to U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters. The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression. U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and ready (CENTCOM).

President Donald Trump on Thursday picked Jay Clayton, the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, to become the next director of national intelligence (DNI).

Trump wrote on Truth Social:

I am pleased to announce the Nomination of very Highly Respected Jay Clayton, former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the former Head of Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the most prominent and successful Law Firms anywhere in the World, and the current United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the next Director of National Intelligence and, importantly, to serve in my Cabinet. Few people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay. I encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

While Washington debates spending cuts and California pleads for more federal money, a new report shows hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded welfare flowed into California households headed by illegal immigrant parents in 2025.

A new report from the Administration for Children and Families found that roughly $617.5 million in cash assistance went to California households through so-called “child-only” Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cases during fiscal year 2024. That’s more than 81 percent of all spending nationwide under the program’s immigration-related, child-only category.

For most Americans, welfare comes with strings attached. Recipients are generally expected to work or prepare for work, and benefits are subject to a lifetime limit.

Democrats cannot even admit that California’s elections are secure, and that is the biggest problem.

On Thursday, a reporter asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about reports that homeless people in Los Angeles had been paid to vote for Democrats with cash or drugs. She asked if those reports changed his thoughts about election integrity, which Jeffries had previously said was not an issue in the Golden State. Rather than acknowledging the reports, or even clarifying that bribing individuals to vote is a form of election fraud, Jeffries immediately dismissed the claim as a “far-right conspiracy theory” meant to “try to convince the American people that there’s evidence of fraud in California.”

The AI industry has been pushing a narrative that the technology is a “black box” whose inner workings are so complex that they remain unknown even to the people making it. But another black box of AI is the underlying cost of the technology, and, specifically, what the AI boom is costing people who live near massive data centers. The data centers and energy plants that power large language models and other generative AI tools are subject to contracts cloaked in non-disclosure agreements and in many cases shielded from public scrutiny on the pretext that they contain competitive information.

A new report written by consultancy Synapse and commissioned by advocacy groups Earthjustice and Environmental Advocates Mississippi attempts to calculate the cost of 3 planned Amazon data centers to Entergy Mississippi customers, who share an energy utility with the centers. These hidden costs may offer a window into the broader burden borne by residents living near data centers around the country. The report estimates that residential customers of Entergy Mississippi, one of the state’s regional energy monopolies, have paid $38 million as of March 2026 for infrastructure and other costs related to data centers and will have paid $74 million by the end of the year.

He entered a guilty plea on Thursday after reaching a deal with federal prosecutors that avoids the possibility of a death penalty trial.

Vance Boelter, the man accused of killing a former Minnesota House speaker and her husband last year in what investigators called a targeted act of political violence entered a guilty plea on Thursday after reaching a deal with federal prosecutors that avoids the possibility of a death penalty trial, reports NBC News.

A handwritten letter reportedly found in Boelter’s abandoned car contained a series of claims about Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, alleging he “wanted me to kill” U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith so Walz could run for a Senate seat.

He appeared in an orange jail jumpsuit and confirmed in court that he carried out the crimes. When asked by the judge if he conducted surveillance on the victims beforehand, Boelter said, “yes.”

On Sunday, CNN’s State of the Union hosted Representative Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and seemed to have either forgotten about or ignored the defamation lawsuit that befell ABC and Good Morning America/This Week co-host George Stephanopoulos when he falsely accused President Trump of rape. Escobar did just that.

Thankfully, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC), who was there when Stephanopoulos committed his expensive faux pas, was not having any of it.

Co-host Dana Bash began by playing a clip of Platner responding to “new accusations from former girlfriends” alleging “unsettling behavior.” Since both Platner and Escobar are in the same political party, Bash asked Escobar for her reaction to the accusations.

Justice was served when Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder. Yet, the radical left is treating him as the innocent victim, a martyr, and is attacking his victim’s family as the enemy. The racial grievance machine is running at full speed, and it’s absolutely horrific.

Thelma Anderson, a black legal activist, appeared on Roland Martin Unfiltered and went to work rolling out all the buzzards to inflame a race war. Anderson defended Anthony, then went further by casting the supporters of Austin Metcalf’s family as the villains in her story.

“First and foremost, the one thing that I would axe for people to do at this moment is pray for the Anthony family because they have been legally lynched for the last year and more so by this slaughterhouse of a courthouse as well as the family of the Metcalfs,” she said. “The energy right now is very white supremacy.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a government watchdog’s request for a court order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from forging ahead with a new $1.776 billion settlement fund for compensating people who claim to be victims of a weaponized government.

But the judge ended a hearing by issuing a “fair warning” to President Donald Trump’s administration: “Don’t play possum with this court,” U.S. District Judge Richard Leon told a government attorney.

Leon ruled from the bench in favor of the administration, which argued that the watchdog’s lawsuit is moot because acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Congress last month that the government is scrapping its plans for the fund. Leon, who was nominated to the bench by Republican President George W. Bush, said he accepts Blanche’s representation for now.

The judge’s refusal to issue a temporary restraining order isn’t the final word on the fate of the government’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” Leon said he will consider a separate request by the plaintiffs – Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington – for a preliminary injunction that would block payouts from the fund on a more permanent basis.

Vice President JD Vance has formally referred Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison to the Department of Justice Monday for criminal investigation after a new House Oversight report documented years of ignored fraud warnings. “The evidence is overwhelming that state officials knew about systemic fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs and chose to look the other way,”

Vance said in a statement. Washington Times: Mr. Vance, the administration’s fraud czar, said he was making the referral after reviewing the findings from the House Oversight Committee. The committee’s report, published Monday, alleges that Walz and Ellison were “aware of widespread taxpayer fraud in federally funded social programs for years” and did not take steps to stop it.

An estimated $300 million in federal child nutrition funds and potentially $9 billion in Medicaid-related funds were “lost” or placed at “serious risk,” according to the report. “As a result, potentially billions of American taxpayer dollars were allowed to flow to fraudulent actors, while vulnerable populations were harmed and whistleblowers were ignored, sidelined and retaliated against,” the report says (Washington Times).

Karmelo Anthony has been tried and convicted of the murder of Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison. But the online donations to his official fund continue to pour in.

The GiveSendGo fund has a goal of $1,396,725. As of this writing, $629,724 has been raised. But a look at the donation tracker, even hours after the verdict and sentence were announced, reveals that donations are continuing to pour in. This, despite the fact that the fund’s purpose is listed as “legal defense,” and Anthony has already been tried and convicted.

However, Anthony’s mother, Kala Hayes, also lists family-related costs.

U.K. surveillance laws drew scrutiny from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio June 5 amid warnings they could expose communications of officials and American citizens, according to reports.

The concern centered on the U.K.’s use of secret Technical Capability Notices under the Investigatory Powers Act, which critics say could make U.S. companies weaken encryption or create “backdoors” weaken encryption or create “backdoors” while preventing firms from disclosing requests without U.K. government approval.

Critics have argued this could undermine privacy, create vulnerabilities and limit congressional oversight with one former intelligence official warning of a “standing invitation to Beijing.”

Every now and again, someone in Congress takes advantage of having this or that weasel to question under oath. Sen. John Kennedy is a master at making them squirm, and all he does is calmly ask the kinds of questions Normal Americans would ask, and particularly, the kinds of follow-up questions the media and congressional Democrats never ask of Democrats. He’s never rude or angry. He doesn’t insult anyone, but when a witness is concealing something or lying, or says something absolutely stupid, he calls them on it to great comic effect.

Trump was right. Jasmine Crockett is truly one of the most low-IQ members of society — and it might not even be close.

Crockett said her heart breaks for the Karmelo Anthony verdict. This is because she believes a young man will be sent to prison for 35 years when he has his whole life ahead of him. And no, she did not mention that another young man’s life was forever taken far too early. She was not concerned about the victim or the family.

Per TMZ:

Rep. Crockett doesn’t hold back as she explains why the case hits close to home … and why race and venue played a huge role.

One thing she makes abundantly clear … she doesn’t think Anthony got a fair shake … especially in front of a jury that did not have a single Black juror.

Rep. Crockett feels Anthony’s claim that he was afraid during the fatal confrontation at a high school track meet was largely dismissed … and she questions whether jurors would’ve viewed the situation differently if the races were reversed.

President Donald Trump’s ongoing war with Iran is draining America’s emergency supply of crude oil — which is just days away from hitting its lowest level in more than 40 years, according to a report Wednesday.

Since March, Trump has tapped 66 million gallons of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep exports flowing and prevent Americans from seeing their price at the pumps reach new heights, Fortune said.

The reserve dipped to a 3-year low of 349.2 million barrels on June 5 and is being depleted at a rate of nearly 9 million barrels a week.

Collins has been labeled by many conservatives as a RINO after she voted to Impeach Trump in 2021 for “inciting an insurrection.”

While taking questions from the press inside the Oval Office, Trump was asked if he would be endorsing Collins, who is running against Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, to which Trump responded that he would be supporting her despite the two having different ideologies.

Georgia attracts job creators from all over the country and world because we work with them, not against them,” Kemp said. “Our state’s pro-business approach, skilled workforce, and enduring support for constitutional freedoms make us an ideal home for manufacturers like Rideout Arsenal, and we look forward to their success here in the No. 1 state for business.”

Rideout Arsenal, the firearms designer and manufacturer launching the new facility, has announced it will be opening its doors in the South Georgia town of Thomasville.
