Attorney General Pam Bondi spoke about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) efforts to protect religious freedom rights during a House hearing Monday and indicated to lawmakers that she was focused on a range of religions, from Judaism to Islam. 

‘It’s not only Catholics, it’s every religion, and even mosques that were slow-walked under the Biden administration and not allowed to open,’ Bondi said. ‘We will protect every religion in this country.’

The attorney general’s remarks came in response to questions from Rep. Riley Moore, R-W. Va., who asked what budget resources Bondi needed to ‘eradicate anti-Christian bias’ in the department.

Bondi also referenced recent high-profile incidents that appeared to be rooted in antisemitism, including the murder of two people who worked at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. The pair were gunned down in May outside the Capitol Jewish Museum by a man who shouted ‘free Palestine!’ as he was arrested.

Bondi’s nod to mosques was an apparent reference to a handful of blue-leaning states closing all religious buildings as part of their COVID-19 protocols in 2020 during the Trump administration.

The attorney general said she talks ‘almost daily’ with the DOJ Civil Rights Division, which handles discrimination cases, and she commended division head Harmeet Dhillon, who has upended the division and shifted its focus, in part, to religious freedom.

‘They are working to protect people of all religions,’ Bondi said.

Moore also broached a controversial internal memo that originated in the FBI Richmond Field Office under former FBI Director Christopher Wray. The memo, which Congress made public in 2023 after receiving it from an FBI whistleblower, offered a threat assessment of ‘radical-traditionalist Catholics.’

The internal document laid out what the FBI perceived as a pattern of extremism among a small group of Catholics, identifying them as those who opposed modern-day popes, held ‘extremist ideological beliefs,’ and ‘engaged in violent rhetoric.’

The document pointed to three real-life examples of criminal suspects who identified with that sect of Catholicism to illustrate its point, and it used the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-leaning nonprofit, to bolster its assessment. In response to backlash, the FBI retracted the memo. Wray later said he admonished employees involved with making it but also said he did not uncover any ‘bad faith conduct’ among them.

Bondi said during Monday’s hearing that under her tenure, the DOJ will not use the Southern Poverty Law Center as a resource.

More Americans say they oppose rather than support this past weekend’s U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to a new national poll.

However, the Reuters/Ipsos survey points to a wide partisan divide, with most Republicans supporting President Donald Trump’s decision to launch aerial attacks against Iran in order to prevent the Islamic State from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Thirty-six percent of adult Americans questioned said they supported the airstrikes, with 45% opposed and 18% unsure or skipped answering the question.

However, among Republicans, support for the military strikes stood at 69%, with 17% opposed. Only 13% of Democrats supported the attack, with nearly three-quarters opposed. Among independents, support stood at 29%, with nearly half opposed.

The survey was conducted on Sunday and Monday following the attacks, which the president announced to the nation on Saturday evening. The airstrikes came after more than a week of daily exchanges between Iran and Israel, sparked by an initial Israeli attack on Iranian territory. 

Just over a third of those surveyed (35%) said they approved of how Trump is handling Iran, with half saying they disapprove. There was an expected partisan divide, with 70% of Republicans but only 10% of Democrats and 28% of independents giving the president a thumbs up on his handling of Iran.

Trump announced following the attacks that ‘the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.’

However, some independent experts say that commercial satellite imagery of Iran’s facilities after that attack suggests that Tehran’s nuclear program is far from destroyed.

Vice President JD Vance explains Trump

The poll also indicated that six in 10 believe U.S. airstrikes on Iran will not make America safer, with 36% saying they will make the nation safer. As with the previous questions, there is a wide partisan divide, with just 12% of Democrats, 29% of independents and two-thirds of Republicans saying the strikes will make America safer.

The poll also indicates that four in five worry that Iran may target U.S. civilians in response to the airstrikes.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll questioned 1,132 adult Americans, with an overall sampling error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines to quash a lone progressive lawmaker’s bid to impeach President Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon.

Lawmakers agreed to table the measure in a 344–79 vote. A vote to table is a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself.

The resolution was offered by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who was infamously ejected from Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress earlier this year for repeatedly interrupting the president.

A majority of House Democrats joined Republican lawmakers to kill Green’s resolution, a sign of how politically caustic the effort appears to be. Just 79 Democrats voted to proceed with the impeachment vote, while 128 voted to halt it in its tracks.

Green, who has threatened to impeach Trump before, said his latest bid is aimed at the president’s strikes on Iran from over the weekend.

‘I did not come to Congress to be a bystander while a president abuses power and devolves American democracy into authoritarianism with himself as an authoritarian president,’ Green said in a statement Tuesday morning.

‘President Trump’s unauthorized bombing of Iran constitutes a de facto declaration of war. No president has the right to drag this nation into war without the authorization of the people’s representatives.’

Other progressives, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called for Trump’s impeachment over the strikes in Iran.

Trump mocked those progressives in a lengthy Truth Social post Tuesday, taunting them to ‘make my day.’

‘She better start worrying about her own Primary, before she thinks about beating our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, whose career is definitely on very thin ice!’ Trump wrote. ‘She and her Democrat friends have just hit the Lowest Poll Numbers in Congressional History, so go ahead and try Impeaching me,’ he posted.

The push has put House Democratic leaders in a difficult spot as well. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., sidestepped questions on progressives calling to oust Trump during a press conference Monday.

‘A tool that’s on the table right now is to continue to demand that the administration present itself before the United States Congress and make the case to the American people as to why this extraordinary step has been taken. That’s step one,’ Jeffries said.

‘Step two is for the War Powers Resolution, whether that’s the one that has already been introduced or others that may subsequently be introduced, for those resolutions to be debated on the House floor, as should have occurred already. And then we’ll see where we’re at thereafter.’

Pressed again on whether he was taking calls for Trump’s impeachment seriously, Jeffries said, ‘This is a dangerous moment that we’re in, and we’ve got to get through what’s in front of us. And what’s in front of us right now is the Trump administration has a responsibility to come to Congress, justify actions for which we’ve seen no evidence to justify its offensive strength in Iran.’

Hours after President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the fragile agreement nearly collapsed as hostilities flared before the truce took effect.

Despite the president’s announcement, Israel continued its military campaign — launching attacks before the ceasefire’s scheduled start 12 hours later. Iran retaliated with a deadly rocket barrage on a hospital in Be’er Sheva, killing at least four people. 

Israel began preparing a full-scale response before the president stepped in.

Trump, visibly frustrated as he departed for the NATO Summit in the Netherlands, blamed both sides — but especially Israel. ‘Israel. Do not drop those bombs. If you do it is a major violation. Bring your pilots home, now!’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Speaking to reporters while boarding Marine One, the president added, ‘[Iran] violated it, but Israel violated it too. Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out, and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before. The biggest load that we’ve seen. I’m not happy with Israel.’

He continued, ‘When I say, okay, now you have 12 hours — you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.’

Timeline: A Ceasefire in Crisis

6 p.m. ET / 1 a.m. Tel Aviv: Trump Announces Ceasefire Agreement

Trump posted the ceasefire terms on Truth Social.

‘It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered ended… During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful.’

According to Trump, Iran would begin the ceasefire at hour 12. Israel would follow at hour 24. A global salute to the ’12 Day War’ ending would follow. 

3 a.m. Tel Aviv: Israel Strikes Targets in Iran

The Israeli Prime Minister’s office confirmed that Israel launched a major assault hours ahead of the ceasefire starting, hitting central Tehran. ‘We attacked forcefully in the heart of Tehran, hitting regime targets and killing hundreds of Basij and Iranian security forces,’ the statement read.

Iranian media confirmed nine casualties in the northern Gilan province. Fars News Agency said, ‘Four residential buildings were completely destroyed and several neighboring houses were damaged in the blasts.’

Just Before 7 a.m.: Iran Retaliates with Missiles

In response, Iran launched missiles at Be’er Sheva just minutes before the ceasefire took effect. Four people were killed, and several others were injured in the strike on a hospital.

7 a.m.: Ceasefire Begins Amid Tensions

Trump once again took to Truth Social.

 ‘The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!’

7:06 a.m. and 10:25 a.m.: More Missiles Fired

Despite the ceasefire, Iran fired three additional missiles in the hours following. The projectiles were either intercepted or landed in open areas without causing casualties.

Israel Launches Counter-Response

Israel destroyed a radar installation near Tehran and was preparing a broader offensive before Trump publicly expressed his anger.

‘I’m really unhappy about Israel going out this morning… because of the one rocket that didn’t land — perhaps by mistake. You know what we have? We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing. Do you understand that?’ the president told reporters.

Trump Intervenes — Israel Pulls Back

After a direct call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump persuaded the Israeli leadership to halt further military actions. The Israeli Defense Forces ordered fighter jets to stand down and return to base.

Lawmakers are anxious that the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran may not hold, but many are not ready to call for regime change in the Islamic Republic.

President Donald Trump on Monday announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a truce, but as the evening carried into the wee hours of Tuesday morning, whether that peace would last came into question.

Israel had reportedly geared up for a retaliatory bombing run against Iran, and Trump accused both of breaking the newborn truce. On Tuesday morning, the president put out a sharp reprimand against both countries.

‘We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing,’ he told reporters.

On Capitol Hill, in the immediate wake of the ceasefire announcement, lawmakers were already looking at the deal skeptically but had confidence that the president’s negotiating power would ensure the fragile truce was not shattered.

‘I remain hopeful,’ Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., told Fox News Digital. ‘I trust the president. He’s been right on everything, and he’s the only president that’s been able to bring Iran and Israel to the table in this manner. So I’m going to hope and pray that this works, and if it doesn’t, then we know Trump will act decisively.’

Trump’s announcement came on the heels of a weekend strikes with bunker-busting bombs that the White House says obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. Many lawmakers stood firm last week that the entire point of supporting Israel in their bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic was to ensure that Iran could not make or obtain an atomic weapon.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital that it was the groundwork Trump laid in his first term with the Abraham Accords and his recent visit to Saudi Arabia that could help solidify a lasting ceasefire between the two sides.

‘All you can do is just trust that because of the events that have happened, I mean, Iran … their conventional weapons have been decimated, their platforms have been decimated,’ he said. ‘Their nuclear program has been obliterated. So they’re at the table because of that.’

Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., told Fox News Digital that Iran has ‘typically never done what they said they would do.’

However, he believed that with the pressure from both the U.S. and Israel, and because Trump was willing to use force — which he described as the president showing he ‘means business’ — things could be different.

‘I think they’re going to come to the table now, and they’re in a very weak position, so it’s different, but their track record is very bad,’ he said. ‘You can’t count on what they say. So this goes back to the Reagan ‘trust but verify.’ Anything we negotiate with them has to be verifiable, and certainly that’s how the administration is going to approach it.’

However, even with a ceasefire, the Iranian regime remains unchanged. A shared sentiment among many lawmakers, however, was that if regime change were to take place in Tehran, it would have to be up to the Iranian people, not the U.S. government.

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, who is pushing for his war powers resolution to get a vote in the upper chamber, warned, ‘Do we really want to get in another regime-change war?

‘We changed Iran’s regime in 1953 by leading a coup against their prime minister,’ Kaine said. ‘And that’s one of the reasons why the U.S.-Iran relationship is so bad 70 years later. Do we really want to do that again?’

Indeed, the U.S.-backed toppling of then-Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh opened the door for Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to take control of Iran. However, by 1979, the Islamic Revolution took place and removed Pahlavi from power and saw the birth of the current regime.

Rep. Jack Bergman, a retired Marine general, laid out his position against regime change in more succinct terms. ‘It’s not our role.’

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., lauded the president’s action over the weekend and said he believed the strikes had put negotiations on a path that could lead to a ‘generational shift’ regarding the future peace and stability of the Middle East and Western World.

Still, he noted that ‘regime changes can break one or two ways, but it would be hard to do worse than what is there today.’

‘I’m cautiously optimistic, but we’re not there yet,’ he continued.

Not every lawmaker shared the same feelings, however.

Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., told Fox News Digital that he believed the U.S. should take a stronger posture when it comes to regime change in Iran.

‘I’m a Navy SEAL commander who spent time there, and buried a lot of my friends,’ he said. ‘While the attack was brilliant, and it was deceptive, and it made a statement, etcetera, etcetera, I don’t think Iran will bend. I think it’s going to take regime change.’

President Donald Trump dared progressive ‘Squad’ member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to try and impeach him over the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, after she had suggested such a measure.

‘Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

Trump said the ‘reason for her ‘rantings’ is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration.’ 

‘The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again,’ he wrote. 

Trump said Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘test scores’ will show that ‘she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country, yet the Failed Country that she comes from doesn’t have a Government, is drenched in Crime and Poverty, and is rated one of the WORST in the World, if it’s even rated at all. ‘

The president was referring to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the Texas Democrat who called Trump ‘the mo-fo’ who is ‘occupying the White House’ during a 21-minute social media video rant about the U.S. strikes in Iran. He was also referring to another progressive, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who recently claimed Trump is turning the United States into one of the ‘worst countries’ in the world. The congresswoman originally came to the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia.  

‘How dare ‘The Mouse’ tell us how to run the United States of America!’ Trump wrote. ‘We’re just now coming back from that Radical Left experiment with Sleepy Joe, Kamala, and ‘THE AUTOPEN,’ in charge. What a disaster it was!’ 

Trump said Ocasio-Cortez should be forced to take the same cognitive test that he completed at Walter Reed Medical Center as part of his annual physical. 

‘As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right,’ Trump wrote. ‘Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she ‘represents,’ and which she never goes to anymore.’ 

Trump addressed how Ocasio-Cortez is reportedly weighing a primary run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in 2028. Ocasio-Cortez won re-election in November and next defends her House seat in the 2026 midterms. The congresswoman has come under fire for perceived inaction against a notorious ‘Red Light’ prostitution strip and illegal street vendors plaguing her migrant-heavy district in New York City.

‘She better start worrying about her own Primary, before she thinks about beating our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, whose career is definitely on very thin ice!’ Trump wrote. ‘She and her Democrat friends have just hit the Lowest Poll Numbers in Congressional History, so go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!’ 

Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday condemned what she called Trump’s ‘disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.’

‘He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations,’ the democratic socialist wrote on X. ‘It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.’

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the ‘Company‘ or ‘Lahontan‘) is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced metallurgical test work on gold and silver mineralization from the transition metallurgical domain (mixed minor sulfide and oxide mineralization) in the Santa Fe deposit. Lahontan is focusing on dramatically improving CN leach gold recoveries for transition material from the 49% recovery utilized in the recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) of the Santa Fe Mine project*, unlocking the full potential of transition domain mineralization. Similtaneously, the Company is evaluating methodologies to more accurately define the boundaries between the different metallurgical domains within the Santa Fe deposit. These steps have the potential to profoundly impact project economics and significantly expand the gold and silver production profile from that reported in the PEA. The metallurgical testing will include column leach tests; results are expected later this year.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Gold Corp CEO, Executive Chair, and Founder commented: ‘We are excited to begin this new program of metallurgical testing on the Santa Fe deposit. A significant portion of the minable gold ounces at Santa Fe lie in the transition metallurgical domain, therefore improved gold and silver recoveries will have an immediate and important impact on project economics. New heap leaching methods, including reagents, have shown dramatic increases in recoveries from transition material; we intend to find out if these new processing methods can work at Santa Fe. In addition, once assay results are received from the recent drilling at Slab, we will begin additional test work on the bulk rejects, looking for ways to optimize gold and silver recoveries at Slab as well’.

RAD 402 preclinical data package complete; demonstrates safety and promising biodistribution profile

Ethics approval and Phase 1 clinical trial start in prostate cancer anticipated in 2H 2025

Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX: RAD, Nasdaq: RADX, ‘Radiopharm’ or the ‘Company’), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative oncology radiopharmaceuticals for areas of high unmet medical need, today announced the signing of a supply agreement with Cyclotek to radiolabel RAD 402 with Terbium-161 ( 161 Tb) in Australia, which supports the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial. RAD 402 is an anti-Kallikrein Related Peptidase 3 (KLK3) monoclonal antibody radiotherapeutic labelled with the radionuclide 161 Tb for treatment of prostate cancer.

‘This agreement is an important milestone for the development of RAD 402 and is the last step needed to submit for ethics approval and begin our Phase 1 clinical trial in prostate cancer,’ said Riccardo Canevari, CEO and Managing Director of Radiopharm Theranostics. ‘We are very appreciative of the entire team at Cyclotek for their support as we work together to bring an innovative new treatment option to patients battling prostate cancer.’

RAD 402 has been designed to target KLK3, which is highly expressed in the prostate, with very limited/no expression in other tissues and organs. Compared to 177 Lu, 161 Tb emits additional Auger and conversion electrons alongside its β-radiation, which can lead to potentially improved antitumoral therapeutic efficacy. 161 Tb-RAD 402 is the first company-sponsored Phase I trial in prostate cancer using 161 Tb.

Under the agreement, Cyclotek will produce and provide doses of 161 Tb-labeled RAD 402 to support Radiopharm’s upcoming Phase 1 clinical trial in prostate cancer in Australia. The Phase 1 trial is anticipated to start in the second half of 2025.

‘We are pleased to partner with Radiopharm to facilitate the development of their innovative radiotherapeutic, RAD 402, for the treatment of prostate cancer,’ stated Greg Santamaria, CEO of Cyclotek. ‘Our mission at Cyclotek is to improve the accessibility of radiopharmaceuticals to enhance patient outcomes. As we support the Radiopharm Theranostics team, we look forward to RAD402 advancing toward market approval while demonstrating the value radiotherapeutics can bring to patients.’
