Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued Tuesday that television networks have an “ethical obligation” not to air President Trump’s upcoming address to the nation if it’s not “rooted in evidence and fact.”

President Trump says he will continue airstrikes on Iran “until I say it’s enough” and that “energy targets” are on the horizon.

The US will reimpose its blockade on all Iranian ports at 4 p.m. ET Tuesday — sending Iran’s struggling economy back into a tailspin in retaliation for Tehran’s strikes on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and failure to progress with nuclear concessions.

All remaining US military forces will be out of Iraq by the end of September, according to the nation’s new prime minister Ali al-Zaidi.

Darline Graham Nordone was sworn in Tuesday to replace her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), in the US Senate. 

Forty-four members of Congress had their text messages viewed by former special counsel Jack Smith’s team amid a probe into President Trump, in an move that Republicans say “ran roughshod over the Constitution.”

FBI agents are “wasting their time” investigating the late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Capitol Hill residence after the 71-year-old lawmaker’s sudden death Saturday night, President Trump told reporters Tuesday.

President Trump on Tuesday backed off his proposed 20% toll for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz in favor of investment deals that Persian Gulf states will ink with the US.

President Trump declared Monday that the US will be “taking over” the Strait of Hormuz following another round of airstrikes against Iran overnight.

Trump announced the concept on Monday — after months of rejecting Iran’s plan for post-war tolls — in what could amount to a negotiating tactic.
