    Russia claims US strikes on Iran have opened a Pandora's box' and could lead to global nuclear catastrophe
    Russias United Nations ambassador is claiming the Trump administrations devastating airstrikes on Iran have opened a "Pandora's box" and could lead to a global "nuclear catastrophe."Vassily Nebenzia, speaking during an emergency meeting of the Security Council on Sunday, said Russia "vehemently condemns the irresponsible, dangerous, and provocative actions taken by the USA against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is a sovereign country and a U.N. member state.""Through its actions, the U.S. has opened Pandora's box, and no one knows what new consequences this may lead to," Nebenzia said."I think it is obvious to everyone in this chamber that unless we stop the escalation, the Middle East will find itself on the brink of a large-scale conflict, which is fraught with unpredictable consequences for the entire international security architecture. And the whole world could find itself on the verge of a nuclear catastrophe," he added.IRANS FORDOW NUCLEAR SITE STRUCK SECOND TIME AS IDF TARGETS ACCESS ROUTESNebenzia also accused the Trump administration of being "completely unconcerned about either the radiological consequences or the threat to the lives and health of a huge number of civilians, including women and children, in the region and beyond" following the airstrikes Saturday on Irans Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities during Operation Midnight Hammer."We have persistently offered our American colleagues our mediation services so as to find a peaceful and mutually agreeable solution to the contradictions surrounding the Iranian nuclear program. But it appears that diplomacy is not what our U.S. colleagues currently need. Responsibility for all this falls squarely on the shoulders of the American leadership," Nebenzia said, calling for "all parties to exercise restraint and return into the fold of international diplomacy and negotiations."TRUMPS WEEK AHEAD WILL INCLUDE A TRIP TO THE HAGUE TO MEET WITH NATO LEADERS AS IRAN CRISIS GROWS LARGERInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi also said Monday, "Given the explosive payload utilized, and the extreme vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred" at Fordow."At theIsfahannuclear site, additional buildings were hit, with the U.S. confirming their use of cruise missiles," he added. "Affected buildings include some related to the uranium conversion process. Also at this site, entrances to tunnels used for the storage of enriched material appear to have been hit."At the Natanz enrichment site, the Fuel Enrichment Plant was hit, with the U.S. confirming that it used ground-penetrating munitions," Grossi said."Iran has informed the IAEA that there was no increase in off-site radiation levels at all three sites," he added.

    Karen Read's lawyers identify exact moment prosecution 'lost the case' in murder trial
    Karen Read's attorneys revealed over the weekend the turning point at trial that they believe tanked special prosecutor Hank Brennan's credibility in front of the jury."My immediate thought was, I think he just lost the case," Read attorney David Yannetti told Canadian lawyer and podcaster Ian Runkle over the weekend. "My immediate thought was that was the biggest gift we could've been handed in this trial. I wasn't concerned about, was it intentional? Was it an accident? Who knew about it? Etc. The optics were terrible. It allowed Alan [Jackson], in closing argument to sort of rattle off a litany of stuff that was suspect."He was talking about a misstep Brennan made while questioning defense expert Dr. Daniel Wolfe about holes in the victim's sweatshirt holes that a Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab technician put there.BOSTON COP WOULD HAVE TAKEN A BULLET FOR KAREN READ'S OFFICER BOYFRIEND FOUND DEAD ON HIS PROPERTY"The one thing you don't want to do something as a trial lawyer is to promise something and then not deliver but more importantly, say something's true and it turns out it wasn't," Yannetti said.Jurors found Read not guilty of murder, manslaughter and fleeing the scene of a deadly crash following two Massachusetts trials in the death of her former boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. They found her guilty of only a drunken driving charge, for which she will serve a year of probation."I was stunned that it occurred," Robert Alessi, another of Read's defense attorneys, told Runkle of the hoodie incident. "My heart broke for a moment, but it was a millisecond and I went into overdrive in regard to combating it."CLEARED OF MURDER CHARGES, KAREN READ COULD EYE LEGAL PAYBACK AGAINST INVESTIGATORS WHO COST HERHe demanded a mistrial with prejudice after the gaffe. Judge Beverly Cannone denied his motion, but the defense plowed forward.VINDICATED KAREN READ THANKS 'GREATEST' LEGAL TEAM AS JURORS DELIVER NOT GUILTY VERDICT IN BOYFRIEND'S DEATH"These charges, they were unjust they were unwarranted in my judgment," Alessi said. "At the start of the retrial, once people were able to assimilate the evidence and understand it, my hope, even my expectation was the top-line charge should've been withdrawn."FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XThe state went too far on a shaky case, Alessi said, and he called on voters to enact reforms."Spoiler alert there never was a collision," he told Runkle.GET REAL-TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUBSeveral jurors have spoken out about how they reached their verdict, including two who were skeptical of the police investigation, which included storing blood samples in red Solo cups, mislabeled evidence bags and a fired lead investigator.SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERAnother juror, speaking with local WCVB-TV over the weekend, said she had gone into the case with an open mind but was leaning toward a guilty verdict before changing her mind over four days of deliberations."We've got a great democracy, and I am hopeful that the great people of this country that I love will take action, exercise the right to vote, stand up, be heard, and cause reform to be made," Alessi added."And do it in a constructive way, a peaceful way, but an aggressive way."

    Clinton backs Cuomo in NYC mayoral race, boosting scandal-scarred frontrunner
    Ahead of Tuesday's Democratic Party primary for mayor in heavily blue New York City, frontrunner Andrew Cuomo landed another high-profile endorsement.Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 during his third term as New York State governor amid multiple scandals, was endorsed by former President Bill Clinton. Cuomo served as Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary during the Clinton administration."As President, I chose Andrew to be my Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and he never let me downbut more importantly, he didn't let the nation down. He built public housing all across the country," Clinton said in a statement on Sunday.IS CUOMO'S LEAD IN THE NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL PRIMARY SHRINKING?Cuomo, who is aiming for a campaign comeback and political redemption, has seen his once-large lead over the rest of the Democrats in the 11-candidate field shrink.Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist state assemblyman from Queens, has narrowed the gap with Cuomo the past couple of months in the Democratic mayoral primary, which is conducted using a ranked-choice voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots.AOC BACKS RISING PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE IN NYC DEM PRIMARY IN PUSH TO DEFEAT FRONTRUNNER CUOMOProgressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York City's most prominent leader on the left, endorsed Mamdani earlier this month. Last week, longtime progressive champion and two-time Democratic presidential nominee runner-up Sen. Bernie Sanders backed Mamdani, who is originally from Uganda.With multiple candidates on the left running in the primary, the endorsements by Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders aimed to consolidate the support of progressive voters behind Mamdani.In a distant third place in the most recent polls is New York City Comptroller Brad Lander.Lander made headlines last week after his arrest by Department of Homeland Security agents in Manhattan after allegedly assaulting a federal officer as Lander tried to escort a defendant out of an immigration court.Cuomo, his campaign and allied groups in recent weeks have been questioning Mamdani's experience in leading a city of more than 8 million people."Zohran Mamdanis a 33-year-old dangerously inexperienced legislator whos passed just three bills with a staff you can fit inside a New York elevator," the narrator in a Cuomo campaign ad blitz said. "We need someone ready to roll. Andrew Cuomo managed a state and managed crises, from COVID to Trump."CUOMO TARGETS TRUMP AS HE QUESTIONS MAMDANI'S EXPERIENCE IN NYC PRIMARY BATTLEAdditionally, Clinton spotlighted Cuomo's experience in his endorsement statement."New York City is facing major challenges. There is a desperate need for affordable housing, homelessness is at a crisis level, and public safety must be restored. It is imperative that New York chooses a mayor who has the ability, talent, and experience to do the job," the former president said.Clinton told New York City voters to "not underestimate the complexity of meaningful challenges and the necessity that the next mayor has the qualifications to do the job. New Yorkers should choose competence for a change. I am confident Andrew can turn New York around."Cuomo was also recently endorsed by former three-term New York City mayor, billionaire entrepreneur and media magnate Michael Bloomberg.The 67-year-old Cuomo has spent the past four years fighting to clear his name after 11 sexual harassment accusations which he has repeatedly denied forced his resignation. He was also under investigation at the time for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic amid allegations his administration vastly understated COVID-related deaths at state nursing homes.Last month, the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into Cuomo after Republicans accused him of lying to Congress about the decisions he made as governor during the coronavirus pandemic.THIS BILLIONAIRE FORMER NYC MAYOR ENDORSES CUOMO AHEAD OF PRIMARYWhile the primary is not until Tuesday, more than 384,000 Democrats cast ballots in early voting, which ended on Sunday.The winner of the Democratic Party primary is traditionally seen as the overwhelming frontrunner in the November general election in the Democrat-dominated city.However, this year, the general election campaign may be a bit more unpredictable.Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, a moderate Democrat elected in 2021, is running for re-election as an Independent. Adams earlier this year dropped his Democratic primary bid as his approval ratings sank to historic lows.Adams' poll numbers were sinking even before he was indicted last year on five counts, which accused the mayor of bribery and fraud as part of an alleged "long-running" scheme to personally profit from contacts with foreign officials.The mayor made repeated overtures to President Donald Trump, and the Justice Department earlier this year dismissed the corruption charges, so Adams could seemingly work with the Trump administration on its illegal immigration crackdown.

    Michigan police ID slain church shooter, reveal his connection to congregation
    Michigan police have released the identity of the gunman who opened fire on a Sunday church service in Wayne, Michigan.The Wayne Police Department named the now-deceased shooter as Brian Anthony Browning, 31, of Romulus, Michigan. Police have not commented on a potential motive, but they said Browning's mother is a member of the church, and the suspect attended services two or three times over the last year."We are grateful for the heroic actions of the church's staff members, who undoubtedly saved many lives and prevented a large-scale mass shooting," Wayne Police Chief Ryan Strong said in a statement Sunday.Browning was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, more than a dozen fully-loaded magazines, an automatic handgun with an extended magazine and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, police said.ARMED GUNMAN SHOT DEAD AFTER OPENING FIRE AT SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICEPolice received multiple 911 calls from CrossPointe Community Church on Sunday at 11:06 a.m. reporting a White male suspect, wearing camouflage clothing and a tactical vest, getting guns out of his car to go into the church.A witness told officials he saw the suspect driving a silver SUV "erratically in the church parking lot before he parked the vehicle on the west side of the building," police said in a press release.WATCH: Police ID slain church shooting suspect, say his mother was a parishionerFLORIDA MAN SHOT AFTER POINTING BB GUN THAT RESEMBLED 'REALISTIC-LOOKING' RIFLE AT OFFICERS: POLICEMinutes later, police received multiple 911 calls reporting that shots had been fired, and a parishioner driving a pickup truck struck the alleged gunman in the parking lot.A church security guard then neutralized the shooter, according to police."The church security team was alerted by the [gunfire] and reacted quickly to engage the suspect outside the main entrance doors of the church," police said. "The security team locked the front doors and exchanged [gunfire] with the suspect, who was shot and killed by a member of the security team.

    Americans in Qatar told to shelter in place as Iranian military threatens action against US interests
    The U.S. Embassy in Qatar told Americans to shelter in place until further notice Monday morning following the weekends attacks on Iran.The embassy said it made the recommendation "out of an abundance of caution" but provided no other details. Qatar is home to Al Udeid Air Base, where approximately 10,000 U.S. soldiers are deployed.The advisory came after the State Department issued a warning to American citizens on Sunday."There is the potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. The Department of State advises U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution."STATE DEPARTMENT ISSUES WORLDWIDE CAUTION FOR US TRAVELERS FOLLOWING TRUMP'S IRAN STRIKESIran vowed to retaliate against the U.S. after American B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker buster bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites."The criminal US must know that in addition to punishing its illegitimate and aggressive offspring, the hands of Islams fighters within the armed forces have been freed to take any action against its interests and military, and we will never back down in this regard," Abdolrahim Mousavi, the new chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces, warned in a statement.Qatars foreign affairs spokesperson said the "advisoryfrom a number of embassies to their citizens do not reflect the existence of specific threats.""The security situation in the country is stable," the statement said, adding, "the relevant authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of citizens, residents, and visitors."US TROOPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST COULD FACE INCREASED THREATS AMID IRAN CONFLICT: IRREPARABLE DAMAGEQatar has struck a delicate balance between friendly relations with its neighbor Iran and the West.Some 40,000 U.S. troops are stationed across the Middle East.While Iran is largely expected to launch a counterattack to the weekends bombings, Israeli strikes have taken out Irans missile launchers and depleted its stock of medium-range missiles.The U.S. homeland, meanwhile, is under a "heightened threat environment" following the weekend's strikes, including "low-level cyber attacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against US networks."

    Karoline Leavitt fires back at GOP lawmaker who 'should be a Democrat' over Iran strike criticism
    White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt spared neither Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., nor CNN on Monday for claiming that the Trump administration failed to adequately brief lawmakers prior to launching "Operation Midnight Hammer" against key Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend."We did make bipartisan calls," Leavitt insisted during an appearance on "Fox & Friends.""Thomas Massie he should be a Democrat because he's more aligned with them than with the Republican Party. [Both] were given notice," she added.Leavitt's remarks came after the Kentucky lawmaker told CBS News on Sunday that the Trump administration failed to brief members of Congress prior to striking Iran on Saturday and argued that Congress should have spent time debating the War Powers Resolution brought forth by himself and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.SCHIFF CONDEMNS TRUMP'S IRAN STRIKES, SUGGESTS ONLY POSITIVE IS SETBACK OF NUCLEAR PROGRAMAfter the strikes, Massie also took to X to respond to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who insisted the president "made the right call" in light of the "imminent danger" America faced."Why didnt you call us back from vacation to vote on military action if there was a serious threat to our country?" Massie fired back, drawing ire from Trump.Massie's office, when reached for comment on Trump's recent criticism of his allegedly anti-MAGA stance, directed Fox News Digital to a recent X post which read, "[Donald Trump] declared so much War on me today it should require an Act of Congress. #sassywithmassie."Leavitt also homed in on a CNN story that claimed Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, were not briefed on Trumps Iran strikes, while many top Republican lawmakers were.The story previously caught her attention, leading her to demand that the outlet make a retraction.TOP DEMOCRATS, MEDIA DECLARE US AT WAR AFTER IRAN STRIKES AS WHITE HOUSE PUSHES BACK ON NARRATIVE"The White House made calls to congressional leadership. They were bipartisan calls. In fact, Hakeem Jeffries couldn't be reached. We tried him before the strike, and he didn't pick up the phone, but he was briefed after, as well as Chuck Schumer was briefed prior to the strike. So this notion that CNN ran with at the White House did not give a heads up to Democrats is just completely false."CNN did not respond to Fox News Digital's previous request for comment on the matter. The outlet added a correction to the story to include accurate timing.Fox News Digital previously contacted Schumer and Jeffries offices for comment.Both lawmakers released statements over the weekend condemning Trump for the attack and for not seeking congressional approval prior to acting, but both fell short of claiming they were not briefed or notified before the actual strike.In his statement, Schumer said, "No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy."Jeffries, meanwhile, wrote in part, "Donald Trump promised to bring peace to the Middle East. He has failed to deliver on that promise. The risk of war has now dramatically increased, and I pray for the safety of our troops in the region who have been put in harms way."President Trump misled the country about his intentions, failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force and risks American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East."He finished by saying Trump has the "heavy burden" of explaining to the American people why the unilateral action was undertaken.Fox News' Lindsay Kornick and Greg Wehner contributed to this report.

    Bill Maher corrects guest who says he left Democratic Party, says he was never there to begin with
    Bill Maher says he never left the Democratic Party because he was never there to begin with."I never was a Democrat to begin with," Maher said during his "Club Random" podcast released on Saturday with his guest, actor Esai Morales. "I always like caucus with the Democrats and I generally vote for them," the comedian added.But Maher said that he is anticipating the day when the Democratic Party will be as "insane" as the Republican Party."I think, always vote for them, but I always look at it and like no, I'm gonna actually make up my mind, they just always are less scary and insane than the Republicans, but I wait for the day when it evens out," Maher said.BILL MAHER'S GUEST APPLAUDS HOST'S TIRADE AGAINST 'WEAK AND WOKE' DEMS WHO THINK AMERICA IS 'CRINGE'He added that, "We're approaching that because they have gotten crazier, and that's a lot of what you're referencing. But I never said I left the party 'cause I wasn't there to begin with."Earlier in the discussion, Morales, who stars in the new "Mission: Impossible" movie, had said he heard Maher say that the Democratic Party had "left" him. Maher corrected him, saying he "didn't say that," and Morales was "conflating what people have said in the past about leaving parties I know me better than you you're putting a title on something that somewhat accurately expresses my point of view."Maher has become increasingly critical of the Democratic Party.On Friday, he said that Democrats need to "do something" about "The View,"and called out Whoopi Goldberg when she said that life for Black Americans is the same as the plight Iranian women face living under their countrys regime.MAHER WARNS DEMS' REFUSAL TO DITCH UNPOPULAR 'WOKE' ISSUES MAY MAKE THEM AN 'IRRELEVANT PARTY'Maher alsorecently agreed with Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who said that Democrats defense of the Los Angeles anti-ICE protests would be "good for Trump.""When they see it in a campaign ad, when they see the guy with the Mexican flag and the Waymo burning behind him, it's going to be good for Trump,"Maher said.During Mahers podcast on Saturday, Morales said that he agreed with Mahers affection for the term "woke supremacist.""This is brilliant. Somebody is a woke supremacist pretending to be all, what's the word, tolerant, and they're the most intolerant sometimesand they want to cancel people at the drop of a hat, like that's somebody's living relax," Morales said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREMorales said he has "always identified with the Democratic Party and I still identify as a liberal at heart," adding that his "definition of liberal is someone who wants to change the status quo for the better."

    'Mofo...in the White House': Jasmine Crockett attacks Trump, praises Massie in anti-Iran strike rant
    Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, launched another tirade against President Donald Trump over the weekend, while offering rare praise for one of her House GOP colleagues who is currently at odds with the commander in chief.The Democratic firebrand took to Instagram Live late Saturday to criticize Trump's strikes on Iran, while giving a "shout out" to Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., over his bipartisan resolution to rein in the president's ability to conduct such operations."So long story short, for those of you that are unaware, the mofo that resides in the White House has unilaterally, in my estimation, declared war," Crockett said in the video."Mofo" is often used as a shorthand term for the curse phrase "motherf---er."RUBIO DECLARES IRAN'S DAYS OF 'PLAYING THE WORLD' OVER AFTER TRUMP'S DECISIVE STRIKECrockett, an outspoken progressive, is part of the chorus of voices on the left accusing Trump of wrongly bypassing Congress in his military operation against Tehran's nuclear sites.Trump officials have maintained that they are in compliance with the War Powers Act."We are living in this time in which there is someone who is occupying the White House who does not care about any rules, any norms, any laws, nor the Constitution. And we cannot be a civilized country if there is no law and order," Crockett said.She then launched an attack on Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration, accusing him of doing more harm with his strikes on Iran.US MILITARY TROOPS IN MIDDLE EAST COULD FACE INCREASED THREATS AMID IRAN CONFLICT"I know that they may claim, We law and order, blah blah blah. So go get the undocumented people and let's try to ship them out.' Let me tell you something they are not the people that are putting us in harm's way," Crockett said."It is him and his administration that is putting us in harm's way."Crockett called on her supporters to confront Trump supporters, adding, "I literally need you to wake them the f--- up, because everything since he has stepped into office has done nothing other than put us in harm's way."Later in the roughly 20-minute video, Crockett asked her supporters living in Republican-held districts to reach out to their representatives in Congress."We need action now, and that is going to take a few Republicans, like, getting on the right page," she said."And right now there's only one Republican that I know I can count on for sure doing the right thing. And that's going to be Thomas Massie. The rest of them, it's a little bit questionable."Foreign entanglements, particularly when the U.S. military is involved, are an issue that's made for strange political bedfellows in the past.When the House passed emergency foreign aid last year in separate packages by region, each passed with bipartisan support while also seeing "no" votes from dovish progressives and conservatives wary of U.S. involvement overseas.DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS CRITICIZE ISRAEL'S DEFENSIVE STRIKES AGAINST IRAN'S NUCLEAR SITESTrump's weekend strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities are no different. While the move gained wide support from Republican leaders and some pro-Israel Democrats, a small group of conservatives has expressed varying levels of concern.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted on X that she could "support President Trump and his great administration on many of the great things they are doing while disagreeing on bombing Iran and getting involved in a hot war that Israel started."Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, commended the "strength and precision" of the strikes to Fox News Digital on Sunday but argued Congress needed to regain its "war powers.""While President Trump has legal precedent on his side, the legal reality underscores how far weve drifted from the constitutional order," Davidson said.Massie, who has been one of the most consistent lawmakers in Congress regarding his skepticism of foreign entanglements, is leading a resolution alongside Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., to limit Trump's war powers on Iran.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHe told Fox News Digital on Sunday that he hoped to force a vote on the bipartisan measure and signaled cautious optimism that it could succeed."I think it could [pass the House], because we have such a tight majority.
