Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) accused President Donald Trump of lying about the amount of damage done in Iran as a result of the U.S. military strikes. Castro said, “First, let’s consider the context in how we got here. We had an agreement with Iran to contain their nuclear weapons program. That agreement was put in place during President Obama’s presidency. When Donald Trump became president, he took us out of that agreement. So at that point, it became harder to know how quickly they were enriching uranium and how close they were to developing a…

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sued the entire federal district court bench in Maryland on Tuesday evening over an order blocking deportations of criminal aliens. The lawsuit was filed after the US District Court for the District of Maryland issued an order that required the clerk to automatically enter an injunction against removing any illegal alien that challenges their deportation and files a habeas petition. “This lawsuit involves yet another regrettable example of the unlawful use of equitable powers to restrain the Executive. Specifically, Defendants have instituted an avowedly automatic injunction against the federal government, issued outside the context…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) said that the state of the city of Chicago under the leadership of Mayor Brandon Johnson is a demonstration that “socialism doesn’t work.” Host Elizabeth Vargas said, “I think we only have to look at, for example, the great city of Chicago to see what happened to that progressive mayor who was elected there…has abysmal approval ratings there. It’s been, according to many people who live in Chicago, a bit of a disaster.” Gillen responded, “Yeah, listen, look, socialism doesn’t work. We need to lower costs for Americans,…
On Tuesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) stated that while we still need a total assessment on the impact of the American strikes in Iran, “The world is safer” due to them and having a ceasefire now helps the push to strengthen and expand the Abraham Accords. Schneider said that with the strike, “The jury’s still out. I think — I have said very clearly — and, to your point earlier, if you read my statement on Saturday night, the first thing I did was praise the military. They ran a flawless attack on Fordow, Natanz,…
