    Vance defends Gabbard as 'critical part' of Trump team after president dismissed Iran nuke threat comments
    Vice President JD Vance insists Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is still an essential team member in Trump's "coalition" after President Donald Trump said he "didn't care" what she'd previously told lawmakers about Iran's nuclear threat."DNI Gabbard is a veteran, a patriot, a loyal supporter of President Trump and a critical part of the coalition he built in 2024," Vance said in a statement Wednesday to Fox News Digital."She is an essential member of our team, and were grateful for her tireless work to keep America safe from foreign threats."TRUMP BLOWS OFF GABBARD DOWNPLAYING IRAN NUKE THREAT, BUT WH STILL SAYS PRESIDENT AND INTEL CHIEF ARE IN SYNCVance and Gabbard have both historically been outspoken leaders of the non-interventionist camp making up the Trump administration. Both historically have backed a foreign policy doctrine that supports minimal interference with other nations' affairs.By comparison, other, more hawkish members of Trump's Cabinet, like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have historically backed military intervention in foreign conflicts.Vance has publicly supported Trump as the administration contemplates next steps to address Iran, though. Vance said Tuesday that while those worried about foreign intervention are right to be concerned, Trump has "earned some trust on this issue.""And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals," Vance said in a Truth Social post Tuesday. "Whatever he does, that is his focus."Vances statement of support for Gabbard comes after Trump appeared to discount Gabbards March Senate Intelligence Committee statements, when she said she believed Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon.Gabbard told lawmakers in March the intelligence community assessed that Iran was "not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003," she said.ISRAEL-IRAN CONFLICT: LIVE UPDATESShe did add that "Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.""Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorist actors, which it refers to as its axis of resistance," she said during the March hearing.Additionally, Gabbard released a video June 10 in which she stated the world was "on the brink of nuclear annihilation." Politico reported that Trump told associates at the White House that Gabbard was out of line and believed the video was an attempt to prevent him from endorsing Israel attacking Iran.Alexa Henning, Gabbard's deputy chief of staff, said in a post on X Tuesday that Politico's story was "total clickbait."HOW CLOSE WAS IRAN TO A NUCLEAR WEAPON BEFORE ISRAELS STRIKE ON TEHRAN?Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One Monday he believed Iran was "very close" to obtaining a nuclear weapon. When asked specifically about Gabbards March testimony, Trump stood firm in his assessment of Irans nuclear capabilities."I don't care what she said," Trump said. "I think they were very close to having one."Still, an official with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a statement to Fox News Digital Wednesday that Gabbard and the president are aligned on Iran."Just because Iran is not building a nuclear weapon right now doesn't mean they aren't very close as President Trump said on Air Force One," the official said. "POTUS and DNI Gabbards statements are congruent."Gabbard wasn't invited to Camp David in Maryland to convene with other military officials and Cabinet members in June. However, she was in the White House's Situation Room Tuesday as Trump kept an eye on updates in the Middle East. A White House official told Fox News Digital Tuesday that Trump and Gabbards views and statements on the matter are consistent with one another, noting that Gabbard said in March that she believed Iran had the capability to build a nuclear weapon.VANCE DEFENDS TRUMP'S IRAN POSITION AMID CRAZY STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIATrump told reporters Wednesday at the White House he hadnt decided yet whether he would engage the U.S. in strikes targeting Iran but said that the coming days or the "next week is going to be very big.""Yes, I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "And I said, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn't you go?' I said to people, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country.' It's very sad to watch this."Fox News Emma Colton contributed to this report.

    Fox News Poll: Economic pessimism abates slightly as voters reflect on the economy
    Voters are feeling a bit better about the economy, yet overall sentiment remains negative.Since the start of President Donald Trumps second term, positive ratings of the economy have inched up from 21% in March to 28% in April to 31% in the latest Fox News survey, which is about where things stood at the end of the Biden administration in January. During the previous four years, that number was higher than the current rating only once, when it hit 32% in June 2024. For reference, at the end of the first Trump administration, 33% gave economic conditions positive marks (December 2020), but that had been as high as 55% in January 2020 (just before the pandemic).Currently, 62% say their family is getting ahead (14%) or holding steady financially (48%), up 5 points since January. The 36% who say they are falling behind is the lowest in four years.FOX NEWS POLL: THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SECOND TERMStill, economic sentiment is mostly gloomy: 84% are extremely or very concerned about inflation, 68% score conditions as only fair or poor, and 55% feel pessimistic about the economy.Democrats, Independents, women, and voters without a college degree are among those most likely to say the economy is in bad shape, while Republicans, men, and college graduates are among those most likely to rate it better.FOX NEWS POLL: DEMOCRATS' FAVORABILITY HITS NEW LOW, STILL FAVORED OVER GOP IN 2026 MIDTERMS"During the Biden years, Republicans and independents were overwhelmingly negative about the economy, while Democrats were slightly less so," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps run the Fox News survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. "Now with Trump as president, Democrats think the sky is falling, while Republicans see rays of sunlight."By a 21-point margin, voters oppose the federal budget legislation passed by the House of Representatives that the president calls the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (38% favor vs. 59% oppose). About half think the bill would hurt their family (49%), while one quarter think it would help (23%), and another quarter dont think it would make a difference (26%).Sixty percent feel they have a good understanding of what is in the OBBB, and while those voters are more likely to favor the legislation than those who are unfamiliar with it, more still think it will hurt rather than help their family (45% vs. 34%).Views of the legislation are highly partisan, with Republicans favoring it (73%), and Democrats (89%) and Independents (73%) opposed. Fewer than half of Republicans think it will help their family (46%).Overall, 57% think tariffs hurt the economy, the highest ever recorded in Fox News surveys -- and double the number who think tariffs help.While a majority (53%) approve of Trumps handling of border security (46% disapprove), the president otherwise receives negative marks on the issues: immigration (46% approve, 53% disapprove), and foreign policy (42-57%). His worst ratings are on the economy (40-58%) and inflation (34-64%), where hes underwater by a whopping 30 points.The presidents overall job approval stands at 46%, while 54% disapprove. Thats up a couple ticks from 44-55% in April. His highest approval, 49%, came in March 2025 and April 2020. Men under age 45 (55% approve) and White men without a college degree (54% approve) are among those giving the president his best marks. Seven in 10 Republicans consider themselves part of the MAGA movement, and fully 98% of them approve.About 90% of Democrats disapprove of the job Trump is doing generally and on specific issues, with the exception of border security, where fewer disapprove (80%). Most Republicans are with Trump, but approval drops to 68% on inflation and 75% on the economy, generally. Disapproval among Independents ranges from roughly half on border security to three-quarters on inflation.When voters are asked how they feel about Trump as a person, his ratings are underwater by 10 points: 45% have a favorable opinion and 55% an unfavorable view. For comparison, thats about on par with JD Vance (44- 53%), Joe Biden (43-56%), and Marco Rubio (42-46%), and ahead of Elon Musk (41-58%), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (40-45%), Gavin Newsom (39-45%), and Pete Hegseth (32-45%), while his ratings trail those of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (48-50%) and Kamala Harris (49-51%). Harriss higher favorability comes from more Democrats (87%) and Independents (38%) viewing her positively compared to favorable views of Trump among Republicans (85%) and Independents (34%).None of those tested not the president, not the vice president and not the former president nor the former vice president -- garnered positive marks from at least 50% of voters, although Harris comes closest.As mentioned above, most are concerned about inflation (84%), including 78% of Republicans.By a single point, the future of the U.S. narrowly tops inflation as voters top concern, with 85% saying theyre worried about the direction of the country. That includes 8 in 10 Republicans, and 9 in 10 Democrats and Independents.Eight in 10 voters are concerned about government spending and Iran getting a nuclear weapon, while around 7 in 10 are worried about antisemitism, illegal immigration, and the use of the U.S. military domestically, and roughly 6 in 10 about protests in U.S. cities.More Democrats (87%) and Independents (71%) express concern about the deployment of federal troops in cities in response to anti-ICE protests than Republicans (42%). On the other hand, more Republicans (84%) are worried about illegal immigration than Independents (68%) and Democrats (49%).There are zero issues that all three groups, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, agree on as priorities. The top three concerns for Democrats are the future of the U.S., inflation, and U.S. troops being deployed, while for Republicans, its illegal immigration, Iran getting nukes, and government spending. Among Independents, its the future of the country, inflation, and government spending.CLICK HERE FOR CROSSTABS AND TOPLINEConducted June 13-16, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,003 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (149) and cellphones (566) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (288). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of 3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results.

    Fox News Poll: Voters think Iran poses a real threat to US security, but split on Israels strikes
    As the conflict in the Middle East escalates, voters are torn on Israels decision to attack Irans nuclear facilities, yet they agree Iran is a national security threat and that what happens abroad matters to life in the U.S.Seventy-three percent of registered voters think Iran poses a real threat to the U.S., a 13-point increase from six years ago (the last time this question was asked)."The increased sense that Iran constitutes a threat is real, but it also reflects the unique timing and circumstances surrounding this poll," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps run the Fox News Poll along with Democrat Chris Anderson. "The poll was in the field as images of Iranian missiles falling on Tel Aviv dominated television and the internet -- the immediacy and clarity of the conflict undoubtedly contributes to how voters gauge what is at risk."Majorities of Democrats (69%), Republicans (82%), and Independents (62%) agree Iran poses a real risk and those numbers are up since 2019 (by 12, 17, and 4 points respectively).The latest Fox survey, released Wednesday as President Donald Trump urged for Irans "unconditional surrender," also finds voters split on Israels decision to launch military strikes against Irans nuclear programs nearly half (49%) approve of the strikes while slightly fewer (46%) disapprove.Republicans (73% approve) are more than twice as likely as Democrats (32%) and Independents (32%) to approve of the strikes.FOX NEWS POLL: THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SECOND TERMVoters have contradictory concerns. On the one hand, voters are pessimistic about how the air strikes will affect security. Most think the attacks against Iran will make the world a more dangerous place (59%) rather than safer (36%).About three-quarters of Democrats (74%) and Independents (77%) agree the strikes will increase peril, as do nearly 4 in 10 Republicans (36%).On the other hand, voters are worried about Iran developing a nuclear weapon. Almost 8 in 10 say they are also extremely or very concerned about Irans nuclear program (78%) up from 66% in April and matching the high in September 2010. The increase comes from demographics across the board.FOX NEWS POLL: DEMOCRATS' FAVORABILITY HITS NEW LOW, STILL FAVORED OVER GOP IN 2026 MIDTERMSWhile concern is palpable, voters see other issues as more pressing. When presented with a list of eight issues, Irans nuclear program falls in the middle.The future of the U.S. (85% extremely or very concerned), inflation (84%), and government spending (80%) rank higher while antisemitism (69%), illegal immigration (67%), the use of U.S. military troops domestically (66%), and protests in U.S. cities (63%) rank lower than concerns about Iran.While roughly 8 in 10 Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are concerned about Iran getting a nuke, it only ranks in the top three concerns for Republicans.Overall, 8 in 10 think what happens in the Middle East matters a great deal or some to life in the U.S. (81%) while more than half support financial aid to the Israelis for their military (53%), a 3-point increase since March, but down from a high of 60% in November 2023, shortly after the October 7 Hamas attacks.Since November 2023, Democrats (-14 points) and Independents (-11) are less likely to support sending money to the Israelis while Republicans (+4 points) solidified their support."Even though most think the stakes are high, there is a reticence to get involved in the Middle East," says Shaw. "The public isnt blind to history and history teaches us that those who get directly involved in these conflicts do so at their peril."Trump left the G7 summit early on Monday along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, citing the ongoing and intensifying situation in the Middle East as the reason.Trumps approval rating on foreign policy has held relatively steady since April: 42% approve vs. 57% disapprove for a net negative rating of -15, it was -14 last month.He fares better on border security (53% approve, 46% disapprove) and immigration (46%, 53%) while he does worse on the economy (40%, 58%) and inflation (34%, 64%).Overall, 46% approve of his job performance as president, while 54% disapprove.Trumps personal favorable rating held steady at 45%, compared to those in his administration.Trumps personal favorable rating held steady at 45%. Compared to those in his administration, Trumps about even with Vice President JD Vance (44% favorable) and performs better than Rubio (42%), Elon Musk (41%), and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (32%). Robert F. Kennedy Jr. does the best with a 48% favorable rating.For comparison, the favorable ratings among Democratic Party leaders were in the same ballpark: Kamala Harris (49% favorable), Joe Biden (43%), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (40%), and Gavin Newsom (39%).Everyone tested was viewed more negatively than positively, although by only 2 points for both Harris and RFK Jr.The continuing war between Russia and Ukraine takes a backseat to the conflict in the Middle East, with 72% saying the war matters a great deal to life in the U.S. compared to 81% who say the same about what is happening in the Middle East.Those saying the Russia-Ukraine war matters are down from 81% in October 2023 (when the question was last asked) and a high of 85% in March 2022 (at the start of the war).Even so, 56% of voters support sending money to Ukraine to help fight Russia.That number has held steady at between 54 and 63% for the last three years.Big picture, majorities favor sending financial aid to the Ukrainians (56%) and the Israelis (53%) to fight their respective wars, with partisanship driving support in the different theaters.Seventy percent of Democrats support funding Ukraine compared to just 46% of Republicans, while 71% of Republicans favor sending aid to Israel compared to just 43% of Democrats.CLICK HERE FOR CROSSTABS AND TOPLINEConducted June 13-16, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,003 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file.

    Federal judge orders GPS monitoring for ex-Coast Guard officer who allegedly threatened to assassinate Trump
    A federal judge ordered former U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant Peter Stinson to home detention with GPS monitoring during a hearing on accusations that he made numerous threats against President Donald Trump on social media over the past five years.The 63-year-old Virginia resident served as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1988 to 2021, during which time he became a sharpshooter and served as a FEMA instructor.Judge Ivan Davis on Wednesday said he did not believe, under the conditions he laid out, that Stinsons release to home detention posed a threat to the community.Stinson, who wore a green prison jumpsuit to the hearing, was seen speaking with his attorneys during the proceeding.FBI DIRECTOR PATEL SAYS MAN WHO THREATENED TRUMP USED SAME MESSAGE AS COMEY'S 'DESTRUCTIVE' INSTAGRAM POSTProsecutors from the U.S. Department of Justice alleged that Stinson made multiple threats against Trump on various social media platforms, including X, Reddit and Bluesky.Stinsons public defender, however, pointed out that Stinson said things like, "Someone should take the shothe said I cant shoot but I can drive. Id take the shot, but Im a lousy shot, so it would be a waste."Prosecutors countered the argument by saying Stinson lied about his skills, noting that he received expert marksman ribbons while in the service.GEORGIA MAN INDICTED FOR MAKING ALLEGED THREATS AGAINST SENATORS CRUZ, FISCHER IN DISTURBING VOICEMAILSStinsons public defender also argued that the statute in question is specific in relation to threatening language, and that political hyperbole is protected speech under the First Amendment.Judge Davis appeared to agree with the public defender as prosecutors were having a tough time meeting the burden of establishing probable cause. He ultimately gave prosecutors until next Wednesday to file additional written briefs on the matter.In an affidavit filed on Friday, a task force officer from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed details about the myriads of online threats that Stinson allegedly made.In one instance, Stinson reportedly wrote that Trump needed to be "[L]uigied," on May 9. The post was a reference to Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.FORMER COAST GUARD OFFICER ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGEDLY THREATENING TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP: FBIStinson allegedly made graphic threats against Trump involving guns, poisoning and even knives on multiple social media platforms.Stinson also allegedly referenced "not having the necessary skills," to successfully complete an assassination, but also eerily suggested that he was not being entirely truthful.The document also alleges that Stinson made several references to 8647, which government officials say "is likely in reference to an Instagram post made by former FBI Director James Comey."According to the affidavit, Stinson "self-identified as a member of ANTIFA."On Feb. 2, Stinson allegedly posted on his X account, "Sure. This is war. Sides will be drawn. Antifa always wins in the end. Violence is inherently necessary."The most recent post referenced in the document was published on BlueSky on June 11, when Stinson allegedly wrote, "When he dies, the party is going to be yuge."Fox News Digitals Andrea Margolis contributed to this report.

    Trump confronts Juventus soccer team about 'men playing in women's sports' at White House
    President Donald Trump host the popular Italian soccer club Juventus FC at the White House on Wednesday, as the team is in the U.S. for the Club World Cup.During the visit, as the players stood behind Trump's desk in the Oval Office, Trump broached the subject of transgender athletes in women's sports during a lengthy rant about former President Joe Biden.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"He was never for open border, and you'd think, he was never for transgender for everybody, or men playing in women's sports," Trump said.The president then turned around to face the Juventus players and posed a question."Could a woman make your team, fellas?" he asked.The players all exchanged glances, but none gave an answer.The president then turned to face the team's general manager Damien Comolli and pose the same question."We have a very good womens team," Comolli said.But Trump pressed Comolli, repeating the question, "But they should be playing with women?"Comolli did not offer an answer that time."See, they're very diplomatic," Trump mocked.HOW TRANSGENDERISM IN SPORTS SHIFTED THE 2024 ELECTION AND IGNITED A NATIONAL COUNTERCULTURETrump has made combating trans athletes in women's and girls sports a key pillar of his second administration's agenda.Trump signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order on Feb. 5 after campaigning heavily on the issue in 2024. The order prompted the NCAA to change its gender eligibility policy to only permit biological females to compete in the women's category.However, Trump's executive order has been met with staunch resistance by Democratic state leaders across the country.Trump's administration is already engaged in a lawsuit against Maine, and has been sued by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison over the issue as well. Federal Title IX investigations have also been opened into California and Massachusetts' high school sports leagues.A New York Times/Ipsos survey found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don't think transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in women's sports.Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women's sports. Of the 1,025 people who identified as Democrats or leaning Democrat, 67% said transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women. Among 1,022 Republicans, that number was 94%.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Seth Meyers explains why his late-night show has 'weaned ourselves off politicians'
    Liberal NBC "Late Night" host Seth Meyers offered a theory on Wednesday about why the era of politicians being interviewed on talk shows is coming to an end.The digital landscape has rapidly changed in the era of social media, and both politicians and media personalities have taken notice. Some have referred to the 2024 election as the "podcast election," arguing that podcaster Joe Rogan and others like him turned the tide for President Donald Trump by having him on their shows.Meyers famously roasted Trump for his political ambitions at a White House correspondents' dinner in 2011, a few short years before he went on to win the presidency. Now in the second Trump term, 14 years later, Meyers spoke to Variety magazine about how the media landscape has changed.After the interviewer noted the trend of politicians appearing on comedians' podcasts, Meyers agreed they have turned out to be a far better platform for them than television interviews ever were.SETH MEYERS SKIPS ASKING GEORGE CLOONEY ABOUT BIDEN'S MENTAL DECLINE, NOT RECOGNIZING HIM AT FUNDRAISER"Weve kind of weaned ourselves off politicians as guests to begin with, because we have more fun talking about politics than talking to politicians," Meyers said of his show which hosted then-President Joe Biden in February 2024 and then-Vice President Kamala Harris in October 2022."I actually think theres more value in a politician going on a podcast and not feeling the rush to just hit talking points, which sometimes they might have on a show like mine," he added. "I think its good for the politicians and good for the voters for them to go someplace where theres more time and less of a race to hit whatever their PR team has come up with."While Meyers argued that podcasts dont necessarily infringe on the type of comedy he does, he noted that they do have one key advantage."If theres anything that podcasts have affected, its that you realize that when youre talking to somebody for eight minutes, its very unlikely youre going to get deeper than a podcast host does with them over the course of an hour and a half," he said. He contrasted this with television interviews, where "You want to move quickly and be funny, because it has to be a different thing than a long-form podcast interview."BIDEN SHRUGS OFF AGE CONCERNS DURING FRIENDLY SETH MEYERS CHAT: 'IT'S ABOUT HOW OLD YOUR IDEAS ARE'CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThe interviewer noted a prediction from veteran talk show host Jimmy Kimmel that there might not be late-night hosts in 10 years, and Meyers said it may indeed turn out to be true."Unless some major sea change happens, I dont think theres going to be a whole new wave of network hosts, in the way there always has been," Meyers said. "Nobody understands this business and this format better than Jimmy Kimmel, so when he talks about it, I tend to share his opinion."He added further that podcasts continue to be as big as ever, because people are simply going to adapt to the best technological format that carries their message.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Interesting voices are always going to use the technologies they have at hand to find an audience. So, if youre a great lover of the institution of late-night talk shows, theres probably some sadness in your future," he said. "But if you love funny people telling funny jokes and talking to people in interesting ways, thats always going to be available."

    JD Vance account suspended, then quickly restored, on liberal X competitor
    Vice President JD Vance was briefly suspended Wednesday evening by liberal X competitor Bluesky within the first hour of the countrys No. 2 leader joining the platform. The account has since been reinstated."We welcome the Vice President to the conversation on Bluesky," the company told Fox News Digital in an email response, noting, "There have been many past attempts to impersonate Vice President JD Vance on Bluesky as he is a public figure, and the jd-vance-1.bsky.social account was flagged as part of that pattern by our automated systems, and temporarily suspended.""The account was quickly reinstated within 20 minutes of the suspension, and we've also added a verified badge to help users confirm the authenticity of the profile," the statement added.Bluesky, a social media platform with a similar layout to X, has become a haven for many liberals fleeing X after Elon Musk bought the platform and began making changes. Despite its reputation as a liberal stronghold, Vance set up a profile on Bluesky Wednesday, making his first post at 4:50 p.m.In the vice presidents first post he said: "Hello Bluesky, I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all of you."MARK CUBAN SAYS LIBERAL ALTERNATIVE TO X HAS BECOME 'HATEFUL' DUE TO LEFTIST GROUPTHINKWithin the post, he embedded a screenshot of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas concurring opinion issued today in United States v. Skrmetti, which upheld a Tennessee law banning sex change surgeries on minors.Thomas concurrence listed off several problems he found with those challenging Tennessees law, which included "there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children" and "leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance."In his second and third posts, Vance said: "To that end, I found Justice Thomas's concurrence on medical care for transgender youth quite illuminating. He argues that many of our so-called experts have used bad arguments and substandard science to push experimental therapies on our youth," and "I might add that many of those scientists are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids. What do you think?"In response, Bluesky quickly suspended Vances account. However, it was shortly reinstated after a brief period.CONSERVATIVE SATIRE OUTLET CENSORED BY ELON MUSK-RIVAL BLUESKY: 'CHILLING REMINDER'This prompted a firestorm of mockery from conservatives on X, who said the suspension evidenced the need for a free speech platform."Bluesky banned VP JD Vance 20 minutes after he joined the platform The libs at Bluesky are so triggered," commented popular conservative account Libs of TikTok."OMG they banned him already," chimed in political commentator Eric Daugherty.SUCCEEDING TRUMP: 6 REPUBLICAN POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON IN 2028The suspension even garnered condemnation from Vance critics. Liberal reporter Billy Binion commented, "I cant stand JD Vance. But suspending the sitting vice president is exactly why Bluesky is unserious & doomed to fail.""If you claim to care about real debate, you cant wall yourself off from everyone outside the progressive bubbleesp[icially] someone who might be president one day," wrote Binion.
