White House's 'Call of Duty' style war hype videos 'offensive' to slain troops: analyst

An analyst on Thursday described the White House's recent video game-style hype videos as "distasteful" following the recent deaths of six American service members in the war against Iran.

The videos, which have a similar presentation and style to the popular game "Call of Duty," have been posted on the White House and Department of Defense's social media accounts and have been produced to "set the narrative" and appeal to President Donald Trump's base, which includes gamers, CNN anchor Dana Bash reported.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) again insisted that he would refuse to drop out of the race for U.S. Senate after President Donald Trump suggested he would endorse his opponent, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), in retaliation for threatening to disobey the commander-in-chief's demands.

In a post to Truth Social this week, Trump said he would make his endorsement in the Texas Senate race "soon," adding that the candidate whom he did not endorse would be ordered to "immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE!"

'Crazy person' Pam Bondi will sing different tune about Epstein in private: ex-DOJ insider

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s appearance before the House Oversight Committee behind closed doors will be a far cry from her combative and abrasive performance before the House Judiciary Committee in February that created problems for Donald Trump’s White House.

With a surprising five votes from Republicans on the committee calling for the embattled Trump appointee to be subpoenaed, Bondi will not have the luxury of arguing and filibustering hostile questions with an eye on the clock ticking down for five to ten minutes.

Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), the top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, warned Thursday about what President Donald Trump's next moves in the war against Iran could be.

James Comer was 'blindsided' by GOP colleagues turning against Bondi: ex-spokesperson

On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) was caught by surprise when five Republican members of his committee made it clear they wanted to haul Attorney General Pam Bondi into a hearing to explain her Jeffrey Epstein files foot-dragging.

Appearing on MS NOW on Thursday morning, Kurt Bardella, who served as the spokesperson for the committee when it was previously under Republican control, claimed that Comer was then forced to scramble.

CNN's John Berman pressed a State Department spokesman for specific details about the Trump administration's plan to evacuate Americans from the Middle East.

Lack of 'clean kills' for Trump has Bondi on the hot seat as MAGA lawmakers rebel: MS NOW

Attorney General Pam Bondi is caught in a bind because her Department of Justice has failed to successfully wage war on Donald Trump’s enemies at the same time that a handful of MAGA lawmakers have grown fed up with her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

That double-whammy of dissatisfaction could mean her job security is tenuous at best.

It 'doesn't end well' for Pirro as she keeps failing to make Trump happy: NYT reporter

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s inability to make a criminal case out of President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen –– a device used by all presidents –– has put her on a collision course with Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, it was reported by the New York Times that the collapsed Biden case is the “latest example of its increasing inability to follow through on Mr. Trump’s demands and bring indictments against those he wants to be criminally targeted.”

Trump's reasons for rush to war undercut by insider's tip to MS NOW's Jackie Alemany

Donald Trump's reasoning that he had no choice but to start a war with Iran because Iranian missiles could hit the American mainland “soon” was undercut by a report from MS NOW’s Jackie Alemany on Thursday morning.

During a military medal ceremony on Monday at the White House, the president told the audience, “The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases, both local and overseas, and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.”

'Act like a man': Pete Hegseth hammered for 'childish' meltdown over war casualties

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision to lash out at the media for reporting on the deaths of American service members taking part in Donald Trump’s war on Iran was blistered on MS NOW on Thursday morning with the former Fox News personality being called both “childish” and “pathetic."

During his press conference, Hegseth dismissed the six deaths while ranting, “When a few drones get through, or tragic things happen, it’s front page news. I get it. The press only wants to make the president look bad. But try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step.”

Trump faces an inherent problem that 'magnifies the risk' of failure in Iran: ex-insider

President Donald Trump faces an inherent "problem" in his administration that "magnifies the risk" of failure in Iran, according to a former administration insider.

Early Saturday morning, U.S. and Israeli forces conducted a coordinated bombing campaign across more than 100 sites in Iran. The move set off a geopolitical frenzy, with Iran firing retaliatory strikes at several neighboring countries as well as at the U.S. embassy in Kuwait, which killed six Americans over the weekend.

'Despicable': Kristi Noem torched by ex-RNC chair after 'embarrassing' hearing performance

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) tore apart Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on MS NOW's "The Weeknight" Wednesday, following a contentious hearing in Congress in which she evaded tough questions about the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis.

In one exchange, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) repeatedly demanded Noem clarify whether she still believes, as she initially told the public, that Good and Pretti were "domestic terrorists," only for her to dodge and deflect.
