🚨 Block 1: Iran’s Assassination Plot Against Trump, Netanyahu Goes on Offense

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed explosive details in a Fox News interview: Iran had targeted President Donald Trump as “enemy number one” in an active assassination plot. Netanyahu claims recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets, part of Operation Rising Lion, were not just about defense but about dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons capacity before it was too late.

“We were facing an imminent nuclear threat. Iran had enough uranium to build a bomb,” Netanyahu stated. “They were ready to arm Hezbollah and other terror groups.”

Netanyahu confirmed a missile struck his home, calling himself Trump’s “junior partner” in countering Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Meanwhile, Iran retaliated with a ballistic missile barrage on Israeli cities, many intercepted by air defense systems.

🚨 Block 2: Minnesota Lawmaker Murdered, Nationwide Manhunt Ends

Dramatic photos surfaced of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman’s home, riddled with bullet holes after a shooting that left both her and her husband dead. Authorities arrested Vance Luther Boelter, who also shot State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. The FBI named Boelter to its most wanted list and offered a $50,000 reward before his capture in Sibley County, MN.

Senator Amy Klobuchar confirmed Hoffman and his wife are in stable condition, calling Boelter a “dangerous and unstable individual.” Authorities believe this was a premeditated, targeted political attack.

🌸 Block 3: Fetterman Supports Trump’s Military Parade, Booed by Progressives

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) voiced support for Trump’s military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. “Regardless of your politics, it’s appropriate to celebrate,” he said. The event featured WWII jeeps, tanks, parachute teams, and flyovers.

However, Fetterman faced boos at a “No Kings” protest in Philadelphia, where progressives slammed him for supporting Israel and stricter immigration enforcement. Critics also pointed to a New York Magazine expose claiming Fetterman is mentally unfit. Fetterman dismissed it as a “left-wing hit job” and said his staff turned on him over his centrist positions.

📈 Block 4: Rand Paul Hesitates on Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

Sen. Rand Paul isn’t a “no” on Trump’s budget-slashing, tax-cutting Big Beautiful Bill — but he’s not a “yes” either. Paul criticized the bill’s $5 trillion debt ceiling increase and demanded deeper cuts and short-term debt reviews.

“If they want my vote, they’ll have to negotiate,” Paul told NBC.

Trump responded with fire on Truth Social:

“If Rand Paul votes against our Great, Big, Beautiful Bill, he’s siding with the Radical Left.”

Paul was even allegedly uninvited to a White House picnic, though Trump later said he was welcome. The bill, which includes permanent tax cuts, no tax on tips, and spending reductions, is seen as central to Trump’s 2025 agenda.

🏠 Block 5: Buster Murdaugh Wins Legal Victory in Defamation Lawsuit

Buster Murdaugh, son of convicted killer Alex Murdaugh, scored a legal win when a federal judge refused to dismiss his defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Blackfin Inc. The companies produced a documentary implying Buster murdered Stephen Smith, a former classmate.

Judge Richard Gergel ruled the claims could proceed, noting the producers juxtaposed rumor-based interviews with official documents to create a defamatory implication. Former AG Charlie Condon called it “a real legal victory” that could reshape how streaming platforms report high-profile cases.
