Fox News host turns colleagues' selective outrage back on them: 'Heard no complaints!'

Jessica Tarlov is no stranger to being the sole liberal voice on a Fox News panel, and she used that voice Tuesday to turn her colleagues' conservative outrage back on them.

Tarlov cried hypocrisy during a discussion with Martha MacCallum and Tomi Lahren about Texas Democrats shirking their duties by fleeing to so-called "blue states" to prevent a quorum for a redistricting vote that favored the GOP.

President Donald Trump claimed on CNBC Tuesday that Republicans were "entitled to five more" congressional seats from the state because he said he won Texas "decisively" in last year’s presidential election....

'Clearly that's his opinion': Mike Johnson swatted down by Trump admin

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) did not receive resounding support from the Trump administration over this week's comments regarding Israel and Gaza.

During Tuesday's Pentagon news briefing, a reporter asked, "Today, Speaker Johnson was in the West Bank, which he referred to as 'Judea and Samaria,' and said that it rightfully belongs to the Jewish people. Is that official U.S. policy, and if it's not, what is U.S. policy toward the West Bank?"

Johnson visited a settlement in the occupied West Bank as part of a private visit to Israel, according to Axios. He traveled with other Republican members of the Friends of Judea and Samaria caucus in Congress, "which supports Israeli settlements and advocates for annexation of the West Bank," according to the report....

FBI asked to hunt down Dems who foiled GOP redistricting scheme

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) called in the FBI on Tuesday to break the stalemate over the state's redistricting vote, according to The New York Times.

Cornyn wants agents to "round up" and arrest the 56 Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to prevent a quorum in the legislative body for what they dubbed "gerrymandering." Many traveled to the Democratic-led states of Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York as Republicans sought to pass a redistricting map in their favor.

If approved, the map could give Republicans up to five new congressional seats....

Trump baffles with ‘barrage of friendly fire’ on loyal GOP farmers

Trump baffles with ‘barrage of friendly fire’ on loyal GOP farmers

American farmers are openly questioning why the Trump administration has betrayed them on so many issues, from tariffs to mass deportations.

The Washington Post editorial board called the onslaught a "barrage of friendly fire," since the majority of farmers are, in fact, "solidly Republican."

One of the biggest problems for farmers has been President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts, since "roughly half of crop farmworkers are estimated to lack legal immigration status," according to the piece....
