A three year-old Venezuelan boy was rescued from the rubble of a collapsed building by Jordanian emergency workers on Tuesday — six days after the devastating earthquakes that struck the South American nation.

Monday on MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) claimed Secretary of State Marco Rubio cut off her mic and called her question stupid during a congressional briefing on Iran. Dean said, “We had a conference call. It was not a classified call with, Secretary Rubio and Mr. Wyckoff. And it was bipartisan members of Congress, a House, members, Republicans, Democrats. Mr. Rubio gave a very brief opening, just talking about the, the shots back and forth over the course of the last four days, then sent it open to questions. We didn’t learn much of anything. I have…
When Rep. Tom Kean Jr. revealed Tuesday his extended absence from the House was due to inpatient treatment for depression, he ended months of speculation but also fueled a delicate conversation: Just how much privacy are elected officials entitled to? The New Jersey Republican offered only scant details about his condition during the four months he went missing. And while colleagues of both parties expressed sympathy for his mental health challenges and gratitude that he has now returned, many hedged their comments by saying Kean could and perhaps should have said something earlier. “Certainly everyone has a right to privacy…
Lavrov and Rubio’s dispute over Alaska exposes a deeper problem: past understandings mean little while the Ukraine battlefield keeps shifting The exchange between Sergey Lavrov and Marco Rubio over whether agreements were reached in Alaska last year, or whether proposals were merely put forward, says much about the current level of mutual understanding. In substance, however, it is less a basis for further action than a commentary on attitudes.It is reasonable to assume that, at the time of the meeting, the ideas discussed amounted to a draft agreement which Donald Trump intended to present to Kiev and Western Europe as…
On Monday, on MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said that if Democrats win the majority in the midterm elections, they will investigate President Donald Trump. Guest host Jonathan Capehart asked, “Congresswoman if Democrats retake the majority in November’s elections, will they look into, the dealings of Steve Witkoff in his dual role as being an envoy?” Dean said, “I’m sure we will. I’m sure that it is a responsible oversight that we will do. You’ve seen the recent reporting around, Mr. Lutnick and Mr. Trump and their sons. We have to have oversight into the corruption, the…

Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has called for Moroccan soccer rioters to be deported — alongside their family members — after unrest broke out in the Hague following the North African nation’s victory over the Netherlands. Following a nail-biter of a knockout round World Cup match in Mexico, in which Morocco advanced to the round of 16 after beating the Dutch national team on penalties, Moroccan migrants took to the streets of cities across the Netherlands. However, while they began as joyful celebrations, the gatherings were ultimately marred by violence and clashes with police in the early hours of Tuesday morning.…
