Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow should consider launching "preemptive strikes" against the West as the U.S. and its NATO allies ratchet up defensive support for Ukraine."The statements ofWestern politicians on this topic are complete nonsense,"Medvedev, deputy chair of Russias security council, said in an interview with state media outlet Tass, according to Reuters reporting."We need to act accordingly. To respond in full. And if necessary, launch preemptivestrikes,"he added.SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SAYS REPUBLICANS READY TO MOVE ON RUSSIA SANCTIONS BILL WHEN TRUMP GIVES GREEN LIGHTMedvedevs comments come just two days after President Donald Trump announced secondary tariffs on Moscow by slapping 100% tariffs on nations that purchase Russian oil if the Kremlin does not enter into a peace agreement with Ukraine within the next 50 days.Reports also surfaced this week claiming that Trump had mulled the possibility of Ukraine hitting the Russian capital while in a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this month. Kyiv would not comment on the issue and the White House said the question was taken "out of context" and was not an attempt at "encouraging further killing."Trump this week said the U.S. would be sending Patriot missiles to NATO nations that would then be routed to Ukraine, and on Wednesday he suggested the sophisticated weaponry was already en route to Germany."They're already being shipped," Trumptold reporters from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. "They're coming in from Germany and then replaced by Germany. And in all cases, the United States gets paid back in full."But the timing of the weapons delivery systems and where exactly they are being routed to remains unclear as a spokesman for Germanys defense ministry on Thursday told reporters he had no knowledge of such an incoming shipment."I cannot confirm that anything is currently on the way. That is not known to me," the spokesman reportedly told Swiss broadcasting outlet SRF, before noting that a virtual meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) will be held on Monday, when delivery specifications of U.S. Patriot systems will be hashed out.PUTIN MUM ON TRUMP'S 50-DAY ULTIMATUM, KREMLIN OFFICIALS CLAIM RUSSIA 'DIDN'T CARE'But the quick delivery of the U.S. missile systems appears to be a top priority for Washington and NATO as Switzerland, which is not a NATO nation, also announced on Thursday that its anticipated receipt of five Patriot batteries, purchased from the U.S. in 2022 with a pledged delivery date to begin in 2026, had been delayed."The United States Department of Defense has informed the (Swiss Defense Ministry) that it will reprioritize the delivery of Patriot systems to support Ukraine, focusing on ground-based air defense," the ministry said in a statement."No statement can be made at this stage regarding the exact timing and any further implications for Switzerland," the ministry added. "Clarifications are ongoing."Medvedev on Thursday said the action by NATO amounted to a full-blown war against Russia by the West."What is happening today is a proxywar, but in essence it is a full-scalewar(launches ofWestern missiles, satellite intelligence, etc.), sanctions packages, loud statements about the militarization of Europe," he told the Russian media outlet.Though the push to send Patriot systems and threats to sanction Moscow are significant as it is the first time since Trump entered office that he has looked to start actively countering Russian President Vladimir Putins war effort, not everyone is convinced it is strong enough.EU leaders earlier in the week commented on the length of time the president allotted for Putin despite months of diplomacy failing to yield real action on the battlefield.And Zelenskyy noted that 50 days of waiting means another 50 days of death for Ukrainian citizens."Fifty days, for us, is just every day is scary," Zelenskyy said in an interview with the New York Post released on Thursday."Putin has wasted President Trumps time," he added. "I would very much like to see the United States, the Congress and the president put some pressure on this situation with sanctions and so the sooner, the faster it can be done, the better.""We would certainly like to speed up this process," Zelenskyy added. "We,for our part, will work to provide more information [to Trump], more arguments for strong sanctions against Russia."Fox News Digital could not immediately reach the Pentagon or Germany's Defense Ministry for comment.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons scorched Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson on Thursday, slamming his "disgusting" claim that President Donald Trump is using ICE as a "militarized force" to "engender and institute anxiety and fear.""For an elected official like the mayor of Chicago to compare us to a militarized force that's absolutely disgusting, and he's totally wrong," Lyons told "Fox & Friends" co-host Lawrence Jones."What he should really do is look at Chicago with the amount of criminal aliens that he's harboring under his sanctuary policies. The men and women of ICE are out there every day doing their law enforcement mission. They are some of the bravest people I've ever had a chance to serve with," he added.ICE DIRECTOR SAYS PROGRESSIVE DEM SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO VOTERS AFTER CALLING AGENCY A 'TERRORIST FORCE'Deep blue Chicago's sanctuary policies and progressive leadership have remained in the Trump administration's crosshairs since the president's return to office.Johnson's remarks regarding Trump's policies are consistent with some he made previously, including last month when he compared immigration enforcement to "terrorism" and suggested Trump's America showcases how the country would look if the Confederacy had won the Civil War.Lyons, meanwhile, praised ICE officers for acting courageously as the Department of Homeland Security indicates they face doxing and physical assault risks.DHS announced Tuesday that its ICE officials have faced a staggering 830% increase in assaults between Jan. 21, 2025 and July 14, 2025, compared to the same period last year.DHS FIRES BACK AT DEMOCRATS FOR 'BEYOND THE PALE' RHETORIC AS ICE AGENTS FACE WAVE OF VIOLENT THREATSThe timeframe recorded begins on the day after President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office.Despite the numbers, some Democrats have pushed to unmask ICE agents, drawing ire from Republicans who argue the move would further jeopardize federal law enforcement.Fox News' Martha MacCallum spoke with four unmasked ICE officers on "The Story" on Wednesday, where they sought to set the record straight about their work to "protect the public."One officer named Celina told MacCallum she's "very proud" to work for the agency, acknowledging the risks her role bears for her family and herself.Lyons praised her courage to come forward, saying she and others "put themselves at risk" by showing their faces."Their families could be doxed, they could be threatened, but they are proud of the work they do because they know they're making a difference for the American citizens," he said.Fox News' Greg Wehner and Maria Lencki contributed to this report.

As authorities try to piece together what happened during the deadly flooding at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, new questions are emerging about how the camp owner tracked the storm and whether he saw the emergency alert.Richard "Dick" Eastland reportedly began taking action after more than two inches of rain fell along the Guadalupe River, according to the Associated Press, which cited Jeff Carr, a spokesperson for the family and the camp. Carr said Eastland had a "home weather station" and was monitoring the rainfall on July 4, the Associated Press reported.Despite portraying to the media that Eastland got the weather alerts about the flash flood, Carr told the Associated Press that no one in the family or camp staff could say whether the camp owner got the alert at 1:14 a.m., making the timeline of the tragedy murky.'WALL OF WATER': TEXAN RECOUNTS CATASTROPHIC MIDNIGHT FLOOD SURGE THAT SWEPT AWAY 27 GIRLS AT CAMP MYSTICAt 1:14 a.m. on July 4, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for Kerr County, sending alerts to broadcast outlets, weather radios and cell phones. The warning was escalated to a flash flood emergency just under three hours later at 4:03 a.m.This apparent shift in narrative by Carr comes after some criticized Eastland for waiting to evacuate campers.CHRISTIAN GIRLS SUMMER CAMP DEVASTATED BY FLOODS HOLDS DECADES-LONG HISTORY WITH PRESIDENTS, TEXAS POLITICOSThe Washington Post reported on Monday, citing Carr, that the camp owner waited until 2:30 a.m. to begin evacuating campers, more than an hour after the initial alert went out. This prompted criticism over the camps evacuation procedures. However, Carr pushed back on those raising concerns.Carr blamed communication failures, saying that cell phone service at Camp Mystic is spotty even in clear weather."Communication was a huge deficiency," Carr told the Associated Press. "This community was hamstrung, nobody could communicate. The first responder, the first rescue personnel that showed up was a game warden."CAMP MYSTIC DIRECTOR DIES WHILE TRYING TO SAVE KIDS DURING TEXAS FLOODINGCarr told the Associated Press that Eastland and others began evacuating girls from the cabins closest to the overflowing river and moved them to the camps recreation hall.The flooding at Camp Mystic killed 27 campers and counselors. At least 132 people died in the central Texas flooding and dozens remain missing in the Kerrville area.

Newly released police dashcam footage shows the military-trained Washington father accused of murdering his three daughters just days before the girls bodies were discovered.Travis Decker is wanted for his alleged involvement in the brutal killings of his three daughters Olivia, 5, Paityn, 9, and Evelyn, 8 before disappearing into the nearby wilderness, sparking a weekslong manhunt that remains ongoing as authorities search for the father.In the footageobtained by Fox 13, Decker can be seen wearing a blue shirt and shorts, calmly interacting with police after receiving a ticket following a minor car accident.MANHUNT FOR SUSPECTED WASHINGTON KILLER DAD GOES COLD IN IDAHO AFTER FALSE ALARM SIGHTINGThe incident occurred on May 27, three days before the three girls failed to return home to their mother after a court-mandated custody visitation with Decker.An officer from the Wenatchee Police Department arrived on the scene to find Decker and another man who is not related to the case standing in a local Safeway parking lot.Decker had rear-ended another vehicle that had slowed for traffic, damaging his trucks front bumper, according to the police report obtained by Fox 13. He was subsequently issued an infraction via mail for driving without insurance and following too closely.The Wenatchee Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.TRAIL GROWS COLD IN MANHUNT FOR SURVIVALIST FATHER AS AUTHORITIES REACH BREAKING POINT: 'I'M STILL ANGRY'In the video, Decker appears to look relaxed as he leans against the back of his truck while speaking with the officer.Three days later, the father of three was reportedly "quieter than usual," appearing out of character as he met his daughters for the planned visitation, according to the local outlet.Days after Deckers ex-wife reported the three girls missing on the evening they were supposed to return home from their visit, the young children were found asphyxiated to death in a local camping ground just feet away from Deckers abandoned truck.MANHUNT FOR FATHER ACCUSED OF KILLING 3 DAUGHTERS TAKES GRIM TURN IN WILDERNESSAuthorities from local, state and federal agencies including the U.S. Marshals Service subsequently launched an extensive manhunt for Decker, who authorities have described as a military-trained survivalist.On July 5, authorities received a tip from a family reporting seeing a man fitting the description of Decker in the Bear Creek area of Idahos Sawtooth National Forest. However, the lead proved to be false after police announced they located the man believed to be Decker and confirmed the father was not spotted in the wilderness.Officials warn Decker should be considered armed and dangerous, but insist there is no reason to believe he poses a threat to the public. He is charged with three counts of aggravated first-degree murder and kidnapping.The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $20,000 reward for any information leading to Deckers arrest.

Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz wondered why the Democratic Party comes off like it's against people being successful, during a podcast interview on Thursday.Walz said that President Donald Trump was able to capture "this idea of wealth and being able to be successful," during a conversation with former DNC chair Jaime Harrison on his podcast, "At Our Table.""We, as Democrats, we want people to pay their fair share, but why are we against people being successful like that? We can't be. Why are we against? We should talk about businesses. Not all businesses exploit their workers and we get ourselves stuck in that. And I think we lose them," Walz continued.TIM WALZ FLOATS CHINA AS 'NEUTRAL ACTOR' WITH 'MORAL AUTHORITY' TO NEGOTIATE MIDDLE EAST PEACEWalz and Harrison also talked about what occurred with young Black voters in 2024, citing a discussion Walz had with Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., who said a lot of "good-hearted politicians" go into Black communities and talk about restoring voting rights to felons."And he said, not knowing how insulting that is for these young men to say, 'Look, I'm just looking for capital because I'm an entrepreneur. I got my JDfrom Georgetown, and I'd like to kind of do this. I'm thinking about starting this.' Where you'remissing the point about, why are we narrowing itthat it's about prison reform?" Walz said.Harrison also said he had gone head-to-head with people who are judgmental based on where or who people work for. Both Harrison and Walz insisted that the Democratic Party was stronger on the economy and better for businesses.TIM WALZ HOPES IT RAINS ON TRUMP'S MILITARY PARADE: 'I'M JUST GOING TO CONFESS'"Look, the business community is finding [out] right now how bad a businessman Donald Trump is, crapping on the economy, you know, tariffs back and forth,threatening businesses," Walz said.The Minnesota governor went on to say "shame on you" to members of the business community who continue to support the president."Can you imaginethreatening individual businesses, saying, 'you're going to do this, or I'm going to do this,' as a leader? If you're in the business community, shame on you for supporting this guy still," Walz added.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREWalz argued that the Democratic Party should embrace being the party of "pro-business.""We're just simplytalking about all businesses. What we don't want is monopolies. We don't want corruption.We don't want the folks that are preying on the communities that are bad actors, but we have this reputation that the business community is somewhat hands-off from us," he said.At a Center for American Progress (CAP) event in June, Walz suggested China might be the voice of "moral authority" following Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and military leaders.

Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to advance PresidentDonald Trump's former defense attorney Emil Bove to serve as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, clearing his nomination out of the committee to the full Senate for a vote.The narrow vote came after roughly an hour of sharp debate from Democrats on the panel, who stormed out of the committee room shortly before the vote was held. Sens. Cory Booker, D-NJ, and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-NY, had unsuccessfully urged Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa to allow for more time to consider Bove's nomination, citing concerns made by a former Justice Department attorney and whistleblower, Erez Reuveni.The lack of candor prompted Whitehouse to declare, "there's something rotten in Denmark," invoking Shakespeare and Booker, moments later, to unsuccessfully appeal to Grassley's "decency and decorum.""Debating the nomination, putting things on the record Dear God, that's what we are here for," Booker erupted. "What are you afraid of?"TRUMP NOMINATES FORMER DEFENSE ATTORNEY EMIL BOVE FOR FEDERAL APPEALS COURT VACANCYIn the end, their appeal was unsuccessful, and Booker joined Democrats on the panel in walking out of the room before the vote was held.The narrow confirmation vote from Republicans on the panel advances Bove's nomination to the full Senate for a vote. It comes as Bove, a hard-charging former federal prosecutor whom Trump installed earlier this year as a senior official at the Justice Department, faces fresh scrutiny over his role in the administration. In recent weeks, a group of former federal judges and several Democrats on the committee have urged senators to reject his nomination.If confirmed by the Senate, he would serve a lifetime appointment on the federal bench, which has jurisdiction in the districts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.Grassley rejected a request Tuesday afternoon from Democrats on the panel to hold a second round of hearings on Bove's nomination, noting that, under the Democrat majority, the panel rejected at least four such requests made by Republicans."Many times during the last Administration, then-chairman Durbin said there cannot be one set of rules for Republicans on this committee and another set of rules for Democrats," Grassley said. "I agree with this statement and intend to adhere to the precedent of then-Chairman Durbin."Grassley added that Bove had participated in a lengthy confirmation hearing last month, testifying under oath about whistleblower allegations made by a former Justice Department attorney.Bove said under oath at the time, "I have never advised a Department of Justice attorney to violate a court order." Grassley also noted that Boveprovided members of the panel with 165 pages of written responses to their questions."Following a comprehensive review of the additional documents that you published following the hearing and discussed in the media, I do not believe that they substantiate any misconduct by Mr. Bove," Grassley said, outlining plans to move forward with the vote as planned.HAWLEY URGES DHS SECRETARY NOEM TO DECLASSIFY ALL TRUMP BUTLER RALLY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT DOCUMENTS"I am not anybodys henchman," Bove told the committee at his confirmation hearing last month. "Im not an enforcer. Im a lawyer from a small town, who never expected to be in an arena like this."Bove, who spent nearly 10 years as a prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, previously represented Trump as his personal attorney in two criminal cases following his first term as president. As a prosecutor and at the Justice Department, he has earned a reputation for his fierce and at times, aggressive leadership style.One longtime defense lawyer who crossed paths with Bove in New York told Fox News Digital the nominee was an arrogant "bully" and browbeat people.At the Justice Department, Bove has also emerged as the man behind some of the administration's most contentious actions, including the decision to drop federal corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, prompting some officials to resign rather than carry out his marching orders.TRUMP FACES JUDGE BOASBERG OVER MIGRANT DEPORTATION FLIGHTS DEFYING COURT ORDERThese allegations were detailed in part by an explosive whistleblower report last month from former Justice Department attorney Erez Reuveni, who also detailed Bove's role in ousting some federal prosecutors involved in the investigations into the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot, and his alleged role in ordering department officials to ignore court orders with regard to the Alien Enemies ActAccording to Reuveni, Bove "explicitly plotted to violate court orders" and directed law enforcement officers "to engage in illegal acts," among other things.Reuveni, a 15-year DOJ veteran who was fired after struggling to defend the Trump administration's deportations in a U.S. court case in Maryland, said in the whistleblower complaint that Bove shocked longtime career officials handling immigration cases by telling them they would "need to consider telling the courts f*** you and ignore any such court order."The report prompted new concerns from former judges, including a group of more than 75 former federal and state judges, who urged lawmakers Tuesday to reject Bove's nomination citing what they described in a letter as his "egregious record" at the Justice Department, according to the allegations from Reuveni."These are not actions of someone committed to equal justice under the law," the group said in a letter. "Rather, they reflect a troubling pattern of abusing prosecutorial discretion to shield political allies."Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has worked closely with Bove for years, told Fox News Digital in an interview ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing last month that Bove is a "freaking brilliant lawyer," and described his nomination to the appellate court as a "no-brainer."Blanche described his colleague as the "most gentle, empathetic, great person that anybody could ever work with."
