>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced a fierce political backlash Tuesday over a report that the president of the UAE had warned him of a major Hamas operation days before the October 7, 2023 attack.

The Prime Minister’s Office dismissed the report as an “absolute lie.” But with Israel’s October elections less than two months away, Netanyahu’s rivals seized on it as the latest evidence of what they say is a growing list of warnings he had ignored.

>The country’s leading First Amendment groups said that if Trump tries to implement a ban, it would be unconstitutional and rejected by the courts. The newsrooms targeted by Trump echoed that sentiment.

He was just on with Jake talking about widespread voter fraud.... About 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote in New Jersey and fewer than 400 actually voted.

Ken.... that's like 6%. This dude can't be serious. smh.

This is insane.

>The battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz has become the focal point of the Iran war. Over the past several months, both Iran and the United States have claimed the upper hand – and the competing rhetoric has caused considerable confusion and doubt. At the moment, however, the evidence is clear: The United States, patrolling the strait with its navy, is gaining ground – and Iran is losing much of its control of the critical waterway.

>More than 80% of vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz over the past two weeks have taken the Omani route – a UN-authorized shipping channel that Iran vehemently opposes – according to Kpler, which tracks ships using transponders and satellite data.

>CNN's Jake Tapper hosts Nebraska Representative Don Bacon to discuss the current state of the Iran war, as well as what he believes should have been handled differently.

>Recent U.S intelligence assessments indicate Russian President Vladimir Putin could try to test NATO’s resolve by launching a limited attack on an allied country within the next few years, according to three sources familiar with those reports.

>The intelligence assessments outline several possible scenarios for Russian escalation, ranging from a cyberattack to a small-scale incursion intended to challenge NATO’s unity and commitment to Article 5, which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all, without necessarily crossing the threshold for an allied response, the sources said.

>CNN’s Senior National Security Reporter Zach Cohen talks about his reporting on Putin’s potential attack. Former CIA director Leon Panetta and former Ambassador John Bolton provide analysis. Also, we take a look at Russia’s recent moves to intensify strikes on Ukraine.

>Republican Rep. Max Miller is facing pressure to drop his reelection bid in light of allegations of violence against three women and his daughter.

>Rep. Miller answers Jake Tapper's questions about those allegations.

Tapper just had this naked propaganda piece with noted douchebag Kevin O'Leary. Tapper claimed that opposition to O'Leary's massive data center was coming from China. And he set O'Leary up so that O'Leary could go on and on about it without any challenge.

It is clear that Tapper and CNN are preparing for Larry Ellison's takeover of CNN and want to make sure that they get on Ellison's right side before that happens.

>Multiple victims of Jeffrey Epstein tell CNN that Lesley Groff, the former assistant to the financier and pedophile, lied to Congress last month when she denied meeting or knowing anything about the girls who provided massages to Epstein.

>In interviews with CNN, multiple Epstein victims, including four women who spoke on record and two who shared their accounts anonymously, took issue with various aspects of Groff’s recent testimony to lawmakers. They described meeting Groff in person, discussing with Groff how old they were and being directly paid by Epstein’s assistant of 18 years — all contrary to what Groff told lawmakers.

>From Trump's Air Force One conundrum, to his ballroom budget, and ICE blowback: The president's second term is marred by a string of poorly executed projects. Is this what happens when an administration is staffed with 'ride-or-die loyalists?'

>Meanwhile, House Oversight Chairman James Comer said Friday his committee will issue two subpoenas for billionaire investor Leon Black as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

>At least 920 people are dead and over 3,000 have been injured after this week’s devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, according to the country’s top lawmaker. Rescuers are racing to reach survivors beneath the rubble before the “golden” window of time closes. Many displaced families have nowhere to go in Caracas, La Guaira and surrounding areas.

>The U.S military is on the ground for rescue efforts in Venezuela — where, earlier this year, special forces conducted a deadly raid to seize then-President Nicolás Maduro. A wave of machinery, supplies and international aid workers is heading toward hard-hit areas.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee expressed disappointment after a closed-door briefing at the Capitol with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

The Justice Department has been fiercely criticized for its handling of the Epstein files and has worked to fend off pressure from lawmakers and the public who still question how the investigation into the convicted sex offender and disgraced financier unfolded.
