Six officials told the Washington Post that at least 22 to 23 American service members have died since the Iran war began, compared with the 18 fatalities the Pentagon’s public database lists. The Pentagon declined to explain the discrepancy, and Pete Hegseth called the report a complete lie.
Donald Trump told Fox News he is weighing whether to blow up the entire nation of Iran as his administration decides its next steps in the ongoing war. He said he is in deciding mode and that very big things are coming soon, without specifying what actions he is considering.

Donald Trump said he will demand drug companies split certain childhood vaccines into five separate doses given six months apart, claiming this would massively reduce autism rates. He offered no supporting evidence, and the World Health Organization has found no causal link between vaccines and autism.
Donald Trump posted graphics touting record household income and a record-low poverty rate, both accurate figures from 2025, while labeling them as results of his own policies. The charts omit more recent 2026 data showing gasoline and grocery prices continuing to rise.
