‘He named names’: Trump’s Senate meeting explodes into shouting match over Iran
President Trump and Congress feud over Save America Act
Peter Doocy reports live from the White House, detailing President Trump’s ‘fiery’ meeting with Senate GOP leaders. Trump expressed anger over Congress’s failure to pass the SAVE AMERICA Act. The discussion also included updates on Iran peace talks, where Trump indicated progress.

President Donald Trump’s meeting with Senate Republicans might have been meant to find a way to pass voter ID and citizenship verification legislation, but it devolved into a tense shouting match over the war in Iran.
Tensions among Senate Republicans were already simmering with Trump over his last-minute decision to nuke the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a bipartisan housing package filled with his priorities that the GOP viewed as an easy win to sell to voters in the upcoming midterm elections.
Trump described the closed-door affair in a positive light afterward.
«I think we had a really great meeting, and we’re very proud of the party,» he said. «We like our leader. We like everybody, really, in the room. I don’t like a few people, but that’s okay. I think you know who they are.»

What started as a push to pass Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act transformed into Trump railing against Republicans for allowing a war powers resolution handcuffing his authorities in Iran to pass on Tuesday.
And that spurred a confrontation with Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who Trump campaigned against and defeated earlier this year.
«He asked, ‘why would anybody vote for the War Powers Act?’,» Cassidy said afterward. «As he continued, I said, ‘is that a rhetorical question, or would you like to really know?’ He said, ‘I’d like to know.’»

«I stood and said, ‘you have not told the American people what’s going on. It was supposed to last four weeks, it’s lasted four months,’» he continued. «‘Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what’s going on.’»
Then began the shouting match, which Cassidy blamed on the «Irish in me,» until ultimately he was asked to sit down by his colleagues.
«I guess my point is, though, that the American people need to know more than we are being told,» Cassidy said. «The Senate needs to know, and it does not appear, although I don’t know for sure, that the course of this is going the way that we were told.»
Lawmakers have still not been fully briefed on the memorandum of understanding Trump and Iranian leaders signed last week, and have raised several issues with its contents and whether it will actually meet the end goals the administration set out to achieve at the start of the war months ago.

A source familiar with the meeting said that Trump was «very animated» over the war powers vote because it hurt the administration’s negotiating position with Iran, and that he «named names» of the Republicans who voted with Democrats, including Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., who was absent from the vote because he was with the president at an event in Pennsylvania.
The source described the shouting match as a «7 out of 10.»
«You know, [like] two boys on recess that are yelling at each other over a foul on a basketball court,» they said.
Meanwhile, the meeting came just hours after Trump blew up a ceremony to sign the 21st Century Road to Housing Act into law on his quest to force Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act.
Lawmakers leaving the meeting said the housing package didn’t come up, and neither did a solution to finding a path forward on passing the SAVE America Act. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has told Trump several times that Republicans don’t have the votes to pass it.

Thune said after the meeting that Trump’s discussion on the SAVE America Act was focused on «the priority he places on it, and how the pathway he thinks there is to get an outcome or result.»
«So, it really wasn’t on that particular issue, much of a back and forth,» Thune said.
And lawmakers didn’t push back on Trump’s desire to pass the legislation, either, despite the political reality that Democrats are blocking the bill and there is no unified front from Republicans to nuke the filibuster to ram it through.
«It was more the president saying, ‘If we don’t do this, we’re gonna get ourselves in real trouble going down the road,’» Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., said. «And basically, that was more of the tone than it was, you know, ‘what do y’all think about this? Is this gonna pass? It’s not gonna pass.’»

Federal judge acknowledges Supreme Court ruling clearing path for Trump to end Haiti TPS
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Wednesday notched a major immigration victory after a federal judge acknowledged that the court order blocking the administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians is no longer in effect after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mullin v. Doe.
The ruling marks the culmination of a yearslong legal battle over the Biden administration’s expansion of Haiti’s TPS designation and delivers a significant immigration victory for Trump, who repeatedly campaigned on ending the Biden administration’s expanded TPS protections for Haitians.
The issue became a centerpiece of the 2024 election after Trump and running mate JD Vance blamed the Biden administration’s Haiti TPS policies for the influx of Haitian migrants into Springfield, Ohio, where residents raised concerns about traffic safety, strained public services and cultural clashes.

The controversy later exploded onto the national stage after Trump referenced residents’ claims that migrants were taking ducks and geese from parks and eating household pets.
The White House did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment by publication time.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes wrote Wednesday that her earlier order staying the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) termination of Haiti’s TPS designation «is no longer in effect» after the Supreme Court’s decision and the D.C. Circuit’s subsequent mandate.
While the underlying lawsuit will continue, the administration is no longer barred by the injunction from moving forward with ending TPS protections for an estimated 330,000 to 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S.
The remaining litigation centers on whether the administration acted with unconstitutional racial animus in terminating the designation.
LIBERAL COURT STUNS WITH RULING THAT HANDS TRUMP MAJOR IMMIGRATION WIN

The Supreme Court ruled in June that the TPS statute bars judicial review of the administration’s non-constitutional decisions to terminate TPS designations and found the plaintiffs’ equal protection challenge was unlikely to succeed. The court reversed the lower courts and remanded the case for further proceedings.
DHS General Counsel James Percival pushed back on reports suggesting Wednesday’s order itself ended Haiti’s TPS designation, arguing the protections effectively expired when the Supreme Court’s mandate was issued July 27 and that Reyes’ order merely acknowledged that legal reality.
«Haiti TPS ended when the Supreme Court mandate issued on July 27,» Percival wrote on X. «I will give Judge Reyes kudos though for taking the L with grace and not doing something bonkers like many of her colleagues.»
Haiti first received TPS after the country’s devastating 2010 earthquake, but the designation remained in place for 16 years through multiple administrations. The Biden administration later expanded and extended protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians already living in the U.S.

After reviewing conditions in Haiti, former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem determined the country no longer met the statutory requirements for TPS and announced the administration’s decision to terminate the designation, arguing the humanitarian program had been extended well beyond its intended temporary purpose. The move triggered the legal challenge that ultimately reached the Supreme Court.
After the SCOTUS decision, the DHS announced Haiti’s TPS designation would be terminated, effective July 27, and that employment authorization documents issued under the designation were no longer valid. The department instructed employers to reverify the work authorization of affected employees.
The State Department maintains a Level 4 «Do Not Travel» advisory for Haiti because of widespread gang violence, kidnappings and civil unrest.

Crowded Russian beach descends into chaos after alleged Ukrainian drone incident kills 7, including 4 children
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Vacationers were sent scrambling for safety Monday after a projectile struck a crowded beach in a Russian Black Sea resort town, killing seven people, including four children, and injuring dozens more, officials said.
Video footage captured the incident in the village of Arkhipo-Osipovka near Gelendzhik, where the beach was packed with visitors at the time of the strike.
The Russian Mission in Geneva said in a post on X that the «bloody attack» was carried out by a drone launched by Ukraine, accusing Kyiv of targeting civilians.

«The attack targeted civilian infrastructure. Emergency and special services are working at the crash site,» regional Gov. Veniamin Kondratyev said in a post on Telegram.
«What happened today is a targeted attack by the Kyiv regime against civilians who have no connection to the military infrastructure. This cynical and inhumane terrorist attack against children cannot be justified.»

Andriy Kovalenko, an officer with Ukraine’s Defense Forces, disputed Russia’s account, saying the deaths were directly caused by Russian air defenses that intercepted a drone, sending debris onto the beach.
«Russian air defense shot down a drone over people lying on the beach,» Kovalenko said on Telegram.
In the video, sounds resembling gunfire were heard just seconds before a drone struck the beach, causing a fireball explosion that sent bystanders screaming. As the gunfire was heard, the drone appeared to veer sharply before diving toward the beach.
Preliminary Russian reports also found that several of the deaths were caused by «falling drone debris,» Kondratyev said.

In another Telegram post, Kovalenko indicated that Ukraine uses its weapons against Russian military-industrial infrastructure to affect Moscow’s ability to finance the war.
He further accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of creating an «illusion» that Russia would remain safe from the war by downplaying daily explosions as falling debris, limiting air raid warnings, and positioning air defenses near populated areas such as the Black Sea resort.

«Putin deliberately killed these people. Because if he had not started the war and struck Ukraine, they would be alive,» Kovalenko said.
«It was Putin, his air defense, who killed these Russians. His decisions in response to their decisions launched a chain of death for Russians.»
