A CNN anchor expressed astonishment Tuesday evening as a volunteer search and rescuer said he believes Texas officials are undercounting the number of flood victims by hundreds.

Ryan Logue, deputy incident commander for the United Cajun Navy, told Erin Burnett on her show "OutFront" that Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was likely way off when he said 170 people were missing, 161 in Kerr County alone. That number skyrocketed from an earlier estimate of just 18.

CNN's Jake Tapper was taken aback as he reported on the rapidly growing toll from the flash floods in central Texas on Tuesday afternoon.

"Republican Greg Abbott said there are at least 161 people known to be missing in Kerr County alone," said Tapper. "We previously had been told that the number was closer to 20 for Texas as a whole, but now we're being told 161 missing. The governor vowed that each person missing will be found."

President Donald Trump is claiming he does not know who ordered last week’s halt in critical U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine—a statement that immediately sparked backlash and renewed questions by critics over whether the commander-in-chief is in control of the U.S. military.

“Last week, the Pentagon paused some shipments of weapons to Ukraine,” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins told President Trump (video below) after Tuesday’s White House Cabinet meeting. “Did you approve of that pause?”

CNN's Jake Tapper issued a forceful rebuke of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's assertion that questions about who is to blame for the deadly flood in Texas are the "language of losers."

During a press conference on Tuesday, Abbott told a reporter that their question about who is to blame for the flood that has killed over 100 people in Kerr County is the "language of losers." Abbott then went on to describe how a championship football team never asks who is to blame, even though he said, "Every football team makes mistakes."

Russian President Vladimir Putin is laughing at President Donald Trump, said one MSNBC host on Tuesday.

Trump has been asked about Putin and the state of the war against Ukraine after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused a weapons shipment to the war-torn country.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a stern response to a reporter who asked him who is to blame for the deadly floods in central Texas that have killed at least 110 people.

Abbott took questions from reporters during a news conference where he updated the public on the devastation from the flood in Kerr County. As of Tuesday, 109 people were dead and another 161 were considered missing, Abbott said. CNN later reported the death toll had climbed to 110.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace started her Tuesday episode of "Deadline: White House" with angry MAGA supporters demanding more information about the "files" around Jeffrey Epstein's charges, any evidence, and questions around his death.

She showed a clip of Attorney General Pam Bondi responding to a Fox News question about the "client list" of Epstein's. She said, "It's sitting on my desk right now to review." The FBI then released information saying the list didn't exist.

Pediatrician Fred Rivara surprised Newsmax hosts Katrina Szish and Bob Brooks after he said President Donald Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill would "make everything worse."

Rivara made the remarks Tuesday after the network invited him to discuss his study, which found that children's health outcomes in the U.S. have deteriorated since 2007.

Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr. told MSNBC that he's grieving after his town was hit with feet of rain in a short period. But he's also speaking out about the town's efforts to prevent such a large loss of life.

Host Katy Tur cited Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R-TX), who claimed that the state would fund a flood alert system along the Guadalupe River. Her comments came as news to Herring.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has declared that the Trump administration’s massive deportation plans will continue without any amnesty for migrant farm workers, and insisted that “able-bodied” American adults who access Medicaid for health care insurance should be the ones to replace deported migrant farm workers. Critics have pushed back.

“I can’t underscore enough,” Secretary Rollins said at a press conference at the USDA on Tuesday, ahead of a White House Cabinet meeting. “There will be no amnesty, the mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way, and we move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation.

MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec vented rage at the Trump administration after Attorney General Pam Bondi seemed to wash her hands of files on accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

At a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, a reporter asked Bondi if Epstein worked for an intelligence agency.
