Democrats have been scheming since the first military strikes to stymie President Donald Trump’s military operation to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. But they were unable to advance one measure that would’ve forced an end to the hostilities even though a quartet of Senate Republicans crossed the aisle to vote along with the minority party. As The Hill reported, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) took the opposite approach, reaching over to the GOP side to vote against the motion and securing a 47-46 victory for Trump’s policy: Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) voted for a motion, sponsored by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), to discharge the war powers resolution out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The motion to discharge failed 47 to 48 as centrist Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) voted with Republicans to block it. Five senators missed the vote: Sens. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).  The four Republicans had voted for a similar motion to discharge a war powers resolution sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) out of the Foreign Relations Committee last month. That motion passed 50-47. Maverick Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) indicated before Tuesday’s vote that he was thinking about joining the four in voting yes. Some noted the fact that the vote came as the US and Iran are looking ahead to formalizing an agreement to bring the hostilities to an end: For the war that’s over? — $andman (@Sandman3175) June 16, 2026 A little late…must be important — Tommy (@TomTwr) June 16, 2026 All the problems this country is facing and this is how they are spending their time? — JacksFan11 (@JacksFan11) June 16, 2026 Here’s what CBS News added: The war powers resolution, led by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, would direct the president to “remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.” Speaking on the Senate floor ahead of the vote, Warnock appealed to his colleagues across the aisle: “After 109 days of a failed war, and now a fragile, temporary, but welcome truce, will my Republican colleagues choose today to finally stand up to this president?” GOP support for the war has begun to crack in recent weeks. For the first time last month, the Senate advanced a resolution to limit Mr. Trump’s war powers in Iran after seven failed attempts. Senators approved the motion to discharge the resolution from committee in a 50 to 47 vote, with the support of the same four Republicans who supported Warnock’s resolution on Tuesday. Three GOP members were absent at the time, tipping the scales in Democrats’ favor for the first time since the Iran conflict began. Here’s some coverage of Vice President J.D.

The Brazilian government has temporarily suspended the rollout of the world’s first single dose dengue vaccine. There have been reports of two deaths and 42 cases of serious adverse reactions after inoculation. The vaccine, developed by the Butantan Institute, has been administered to approximately 500,000 individuals. “The Ministry of Health reported 42 cases, or 0.008 percent of the 500,000 doses given through May 30, though officials are unsure if the vaccine caused the problems. This pause serves as a precautionary measure to respect life and science, allowing deeper probes by the Ministry of Health, Anvisa, and the Butantan Institute, especially into the deaths where no causal link is yet established. The step aims to ensure safety for future vaccination stages, with plans to resume soon if confirmed safe. The vaccine, developed by the Butantan Institute using U.S. technology, is a live attenuated version covering four dengue virus serotypes and was approved in 2025,” The Epoch Times wrote. “Brazil launched the campaign in early 2026, targeting health care workers and people aged 15 to 49 in three cities in northern Tocantins state. Dengue has hit hard, with 6.5 million probable cases in 2024—four times the prior year—and 1.6 million by mid-November 2025, affecting over 20 million Brazilians since the 2000s. Testing showed the vaccine protects against dengue and severe cases, and fewer infections have been recorded since rollout compared to the same period in 2024,” it continued. Brazil has suspended its dengue vaccination campaign after two deaths, halting the world's first single-dose vaccine to investigate the cases and related warning signs. The Ministry of Health reported 42 cases, or 0.008 percent of the 500,000 doses given through May 30, though… pic.twitter.com/DuLxYAvj5H — The Epoch Times (@EpochTimes) June 16, 2026 Reuters explained further: Authorities clarified that there is no conclusive evidence directly linking the deaths to the vaccine, but decided to halt vaccinations as a precaution while investigations proceed. The measure affects the world’s first single-dose dengue vaccine, considered one of the most important health projects in Latin America in recent years. The vaccine, known as Butantan-DV, was approved by Brazilian regulatory authorities in late 2015 and began mass vaccination in January of this year, primarily among healthcare workers and residents of regions with a high incidence of the disease. According to the Brazilian Ministry of Health, the serious cases identified include the deaths of a 48-year-old woman and a 58-year-old man, as well as a patient who required intensive care and was later discharged. Health authorities indicated that the 42 serious adverse events represent a very small proportion of the total number of vaccinated individuals. Health Minister Alexandre Padilha stated that the suspension aims to allow for a thorough evaluation of the reported cases and emphasized that the decision does not imply any questioning of the vaccine’s efficacy. Clinical studies conducted prior to its approval showed an efficacy of over 74% against symptomatic dengue and complete protection against hospitalizations during the analyzed period. The Butantan Institute licensed the technology for the vaccine from the U.S. National Institutes of Health in 2009, the BMJ noted. Brazil has suspended its rollout of the world’s first single dose dengue vaccine, after two healthcare workers died after receiving the vaccine and 42 unexpected adverse events were reportedhttps://t.co/ovtPqXAxXG — The BMJ (@bmj_latest) June 15, 2026 More from the BMJ: A five year phase 3 trial found that a single dose was 65% effective against symptomatic dengue and 80.5% effective against severe dengue. The Butantan Institute says that more than a million doses have already been produced and that the initial rollout was intended to help determine how best to expand vaccination across Brazil. The Ministry of Health said that the suspension did not invalidate the vaccine’s efficacy or the protection already offered to the people immunised. It said that the suspension showed that Brazil’s vaccine safety monitoring system was functioning well by rapidly detecting the possible safety concerns. Padilha added that the Ministry of Health had “total confidence in Butantan’s institutional capacity.” Dengue is a mosquitoborne viral disease that typically causes high fever, headache, and muscle and joint pain. In severe cases it can cause internal bleeding, organ failure, and death. Worldwide, dengue cases are on the rise, driven partly by climate change and growing urbanisation. Global dengue transmission reached a historic high in 2024, with the World Health Organization reporting more than 14.6 million cases and more than 12 000 dengue related deaths worldwide. The Americas accounted for more than 13 million of the cases, with Brazil driving the regional surge.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ projected prison release date has been moved up again, marking the fifth time it has been adjusted since his October 2025 sentencing after he was convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution.

A teen became radicalized to the point of allegedly masterminding a plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House Sunday night. Tycen Proper, with a group of nearly two dozen others, allegedly began prepping to carry out the attack with explosive-carrying drones before federal authorities learned of his desires and took him into custody. Proper’s own mother, an Ohio-based cosmetologist, called authorities after his recent firearms purchases and communications with random individuals online who claimed to be military veterans and Christians, according to a criminal complaint viewed by The Daily Wire. The group allegedly planned to detonate explosive-laden drones over the UFC arena and to open fire as the crowd would evacuate. Proper’s parents told law enforcement that their son had recently quit his job and started messaging online with unknown individuals about plans to execute “missions” and “recons,” according to the complaint. Family members also said the 19-year-old had become more isolated and had recently made “sympathetic comments about Adolf Hitler” while “posting anti-Semitic comments on Facebook,” the complaint said. Proper’s mother has regularly posted about her son online and recently shared a photo from his graduation from the Knox County Career Center, saying she was “proud” of him. Proper used $3,000 of his graduation money to purchase “several boxes of ammunition (estimated by law enforcement to be in the thousands of rounds of ammunition), two plate carriers with AR-style magazines, an AR-style rifle, and a bullpup rifle painted with an American flag,” which were later turned over to law enforcement, according to the complaint. From the posts, it appears that she raised him in a devout Christian home and told federal authorities that she believed the individuals tied to the plot preyed upon her son by “using religion to manipulate and influence him.”   Danielle Proper on Facebook In another post, Proper is seen wearing a shirt with the Bible verse “It is finished” on it. Proper dubbed himself “a professional person, a geek,” adding “I’m very good with computers” in a 2021 TikTok post. That same year, he posted a video of himself playing “Squad,” which he described as a “realistic tactical shooter game. “I’ve been posting survival videos, shooter tactical videos called Squad … I’m posting total war videos,” he said in another TikTok video. At the time, he also said in one video that he’s “not a type of person that gets into politics or any drama ever.” When authorities searched Proper’s phone, they found Signal groups “that laid out detailed plans” to carry out an attack in Washington, D.C., with detailed maps highlighting sniper locations and potential drone launch locations. Proper later confessed to investigators that he took part in “planning … a coordinated attack” during the UFC event at the White House and admitted to being one of the group’s leaders. Proper wrote in one of the chats on or about May 13 that he “got a possible target Marsha Blackburn is senator for Tennessee,” saying they should target her for taking “money from the Israel pro Israel lobby and supports them. ” On May 31, he sent messages saying, “These are people we’re going to focus on,” before sharing photos of Senator Jim Justice, Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Rep. Carol Miller, and Rep. Riley Moore. The four images appeared to have been taken from the website “TrackAIPAC.com” and appeared to show how much cash each lawmaker received “from pro-Israel PACS.” Credit: Wired in Live   Proper was arrested in Ohio and hit with four criminal charges, including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, attempted murder against any officer or employee of the United States, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and receipt or transfer of a firearm used to commit a felony, according to the complaint. At least 23 individuals are believed to have been part of the network plotting the attack. Some of the members were said to have “expressed ultra-religious and antigovernment sentiments, specifically citing grievances about government corruption, the handling of the Epstein files, data centers taking up all the water in communities, and other government actions.” Along with Proper, authorities arrested four others, including Michael Alan Thomas and Bryan Omar Roa in California, for allegedly taking part in the plot.

A bombshell new report released by Restore Britain, led by Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, alleges that at least 250,000 British girls have been subjected to rape, trafficking, torture, and sexual exploitation by organized migrant rape gangs over the past several decades. The 218-page report describes the scandal as one of the greatest institutional failures in modern British history — and paints a devastating picture of systematic abuse stretching back 50 years and accuses politicians, police, social services, schools, healthcare providers, and local authorities of repeatedly failing to protect vulnerable children. “The evidence put to the Inquiry confirms that this scandal constitutes one of the most horrendous failures in the history of the country,” the report states. The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.https://t.co/EuKgGWBRhS pic.twitter.com/SD5G9HPVtV — Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) June 16, 2026 According to the inquiry, vulnerable girls, often preteens — overwhelmingly white and from working-class backgrounds — were targeted by organized networks operating across towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom. Victims were allegedly groomed with gifts, alcohol, drugs, and attention before being transported to houses, hotels, restaurants, and apartments where they were repeatedly raped by groups of adult men. When asked how many men had abused her, one victim, identified only as Chloe in the report, responded, “Hundreds. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds.” The report alleges that victims were trafficked between cities, filmed for blackmail, forced into abortions, and in some cases subjected to forced pregnancy, religious conversion, marriage, and overseas trafficking. There were also cases of girls as young as 13 being admitted to sexual health clinics with cases of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Genital Warts. Restore Britain argues that the true scale of the abuse remains unknown but cites previous estimates suggesting at least 250,000 girls may have been victimized nationwide. The figure stems from extrapolations based on major inquiries conducted in places such as Rotherham and Telford. However, the report adds that “the scale, nature, and characteristics of group-based child sexual exploitation remain impossible to quantify precisely due to inconsistent data collection and historical suppression.” The inquiry claims it identified evidence of grooming gang activity in at least 149 local authority districts across Britain. One of the report’s most damning conclusions concerns the ethnic and religious background of offenders. Citing court records, previous inquiries, and witness testimony, the report argues that a disproportionate number of perpetrators came from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds. The report points to previous analyses suggesting that approximately 87% of those convicted in major group-based child sexual exploitation cases carried distinctively Muslim names. It further argues that authorities were often reluctant to confront the issue directly out of fear of accusations of racism or concerns about community relations. “Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children,” the report states. The inquiry reserves some of its harshest criticism for government institutions. According to the report, police frequently ignored complaints, failed to pursue known offenders, and in some cases treated victims themselves as criminals. Social workers allegedly dismissed concerns raised by parents and whistleblowers, while schools and healthcare providers failed to intervene despite obvious warning signs. The report also accuses successive governments of avoiding a full accounting of the scandal. While the Labour Party receives particular criticism for resisting deeper investigations, the report argues that Conservative governments also failed to pursue meaningful reforms despite years of mounting evidence. The publication comes amid renewed national debate over grooming gangs following the release of Baroness Louise Casey’s government-backed review, which concluded that authorities had often failed to properly collect ethnicity data and had been reluctant to investigate patterns that could inflame racial tensions. Restore Britain is calling for a series of sweeping reforms, including tougher sentencing, expanded deportation powers for foreign offenders, mandatory ethnicity recording, institutional accountability measures, and a comprehensive review of past cases. The organization also says it intends to publish additional witness testimony and pursue legal action against individuals and institutions it believes helped enable the abuse. For many Britons, however, the report’s most disturbing conclusion is not merely the scale of the crimes themselves but the allegation that authorities knew what was happening for years and repeatedly failed to act. If the report’s findings are accurate, the scandal represents not simply a criminal failure, but a profound failure of Britain’s political and governing institutions to protect some of the country’s most vulnerable children.

When first-year university student Henry Nowak was slaughtered by a foreigner named Vickrum Digwa in the streets of Southampton, England, late last year, the indigenous people of Britain — which is to say, the white people — finally began to rise up. And as they learned more details about the case, their anger grew.  Henry Nowak had been stabbed simply because he passed a Sikh on the sidewalk, noticed the large blade hanging in front of his clothing, and began recording with his cellphone. That was it.  For the crime of filming a Sikh without permission, Nowak was butchered. And as he lay dying, Nowak’s killer taunted him, hid the murder weapon, and admitted aloud that he had no viable self-defense claim.  Digwa also informed police that Nowak had “attacked him racially” — whatever that means. It wasn’t true. But as we all saw, it was convincing enough for the police. Instead of getting medical assistance for Nowak — which he desperately needed — they handcuffed him. The British government immediately recognized that Nowak’s murder posed a major threat to their power, mainly because they were obviously complicit in his death. They had allowed the foreigner’s family into the country, for no reason other than to replace the native population. And then, when the foreigner stabbed a British citizen, they took the killer’s side.  Making matters worse, in the following days, a man was nearly beheaded by an African in Belfast. We all saw that footage as well. And shortly after that, a 17-year-old girl was stabbed several times in the neck by a Pakistani in Lancashire. It was all caught on video. She was walking along the side of the road, and the cowardly foreigner ambushed her from behind. For British authorities, it was yet another crisis to contain. 

Hillary Clinton blasted former President Joe Biden for pursuing a second term, describing the campaign as a “terrible mistake.” In a recent interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick, the failed 2016 presidential candidate expressed regret for throwing her support behind Biden, arguing that a competitive Democratic primary during the 2024 cycle would’ve ended the Trump era.  “We would have had a real contest,” Clinton said. “He made a terrible mistake. He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.” “And very sadly, I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would have beaten Donald Trump,” she continued. “So I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.” Hillary Clinton rips Biden for running for reelection in 2024: “Joe Biden made a terrible mistake. He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country. It was a terrible miscalculation.” pic.twitter.com/xI2HAVGeS8 — TheBlaze (@theblaze) June 16, 2026 The remarks undercut Clinton’s messaging during the 2024 campaign. She supported Biden until he exited the race, then quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her 11th-hour challenge against President Trump. “I’ve known Kamala Harris a long time. This brilliant prosecutor will make the case against convicted felon Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda to take away our freedoms,” Clinton said in a July 22, 2024, social media post. “But she can’t do it alone. Become a part of this historic campaign today.”  Clinton is the latest Democrat to muster the courage to throw Biden under the bus for their party’s election wipeout. In May, Democrats finally released their long-awaited 2024 election autopsy. Buried inside the 192-page report were some brutal admissions about Kamala Harris, the Democratic brand, and the party’s growing disconnect from average Americans. “The sad truth is Democrats have lost ground at every level from inconsistent messaging and improper planning, even as the policies the Party advances continue to earn voter support at the ballot box,” the report said. The document repeatedly suggests Democrats leaned way too heavily on “Trump bad” messaging while failing to give voters a compelling reason to vote for Harris. One especially rough section says Harris struggled to define herself beyond “not Trump” and “prosecutor vs. felon,” putting blame on the Biden White House. Notably, the autopsy made no mention of former President Joe Biden’s advanced age or the lingering distrust voters felt following his disastrous debate performance. “We either adapt to the changing conditions of the arena, or history will leave us behind,” the report stated.
