Trump's Iran Strike FAILS? Medicaid Cuts STALL Trump Budget, Dem Impeachment Flops🇺🇸 Welcome back to The Josh Lafazan Show!In today’s episode, we break down the 5️⃣ BIGGEST political stories in America right now — from U.S. military strikes in Iran to Supreme Court rulings on immigration, to Trump’s wild NATO comments and a budget bill rebellion in the Senate.Let’s dive into the headlines you need to know 👇🔴 #1 – U.S. Strikes on Iran: Minimal Nuclear Setback?The Biden administration celebrated last weekend’s B-2 stealth bomber raids on Iran’s nuclear sites as a “crippling blow” 🇮🇷💣 — but new intel says otherwise.📰 CNN reports: The strikes didn’t destroy Iran’s core nuclear infrastructure. Most centrifuges, uranium stockpiles, and nuclear scientists remain untouched. At best? The program’s delayed by 3–6 months.🎯 Targeted sites: Fordow, Natanz & Isfahan📉 But Defense Intelligence says Iran’s capabilities remain largely intact.🤐 Trump canceled a classified briefing with Congress — so now lawmakers want answers:How much did this mission cost?Was the damage worth it?What’s Trump’s long-term plan if diplomacy is off the table?🔵 #2 – Senate GOP SPLITS Over Trump’s Budget Bill 💸The “Big, Beautiful Budget” bill is in deep trouble — and it’s not Democrats blocking it, but Trump’s own party.💥 Key issues:$150 BILLION in Medicaid cuts$90 BILLION in new defense spendingSenator Thom Tillis and Josh Hawley now say these cuts would devastate rural hospitals and middle-class Americans — not just undocumented immigrants.👎 If moderates rebel, this bill could collapse or be gutted before reaching Trump’s desk. A massive test of his power with the Senate.🟢 #3 – Democrats Try (and Fail) to Impeach Trump 🤯Rep. Al Green led an effort to impeach Trump for bypassing Congress on the Iran strikes.🧑⚖️ The charge? Violating the War Powers Resolution.The outcome? A 344–79 vote to table the motion, with 130+ Democrats joining Republicans.👎 Even progressives admitted it was the wrong time for impeachment during a foreign conflict.But… does this failed attempt mean future impeachment efforts (if Dems retake the House in 2026) will be harder to pull off? We break it down.🟡 #4 – Supreme Court OKs “Third Country” Deportations 🚨In a 6–3 decision, SCOTUS ruled that asylum-seekers can be deported to third countries like Sudan, South Sudan, or Chad — with limited legal review.📦 Trump’s revived immigration policy now allows fast-track deportations to unstable nations.✖️ Dissent from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson:“This policy sends migrants to countries the State Department itself considers unsafe.”⚖️ Critics call it a massive erosion of due process.Supporters say it’s a win for national security.🟠 #5 – Trump Casts Doubt on NATO’s Article 5 😬On his way to the NATO summit in Brussels, Trump was asked if he still honors Article 5 — the principle that an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all.Trump’s answer?👉 “Depends on your definition...”🚨 Let’s be clear: There’s only ONE definition of Article 5 — and it’s the core of the alliance.🌍 European allies are shaken, especially with ongoing threats from Russia and Iran. Diplomats are now scrambling to clarify U.S. commitment behind the scenes. Did Trump just hand adversaries a propaganda win?✅ BOTTOM LINE🇮🇷 Iran’s nuclear program barely dented🏥 Senate GOP revolts over Medicaid cuts⚖️ Impeachment off the table (for now)✈️ Immigration law changed overnight🌐 Trump’s NATO stance raises global alarms👇 Sound off in the comments:What story worries you most?Are Trump’s military moves helping or hurting America?Should Congress reassert its power over war?
