White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead.
In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings.
“Fake news,” she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teams—12 and 11 forecasters, respectively.
She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M.
Leavitt emphasized that warnings were “early and consistent,” despite the flood striking during early morning hours.
As questions swirl over the government’s disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked — and that misleading narratives must stop.
The press secretary’s remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy.
In a fiery press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down claims about a shift in U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine, calling it “fake news.” Leavitt clarified that a recent Pentagon assessment was a routine global audit of U.S. military aid, not a pullback. “This was standard policy — not specific to Ukraine,” she said. Leavitt then turned to the Middle East, stating the Trump administration’s top priority is ending the Gaza war and securing the release of hostages. She confirmed that Israel had approved a ceasefire deal, which has now been sent to Hamas for approval. The press secretary expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the proposal, indicating that the U.S. is pressing for diplomatic resolution in the region. The dual clarification on Ukraine and Gaza reveals the administration’s efforts to quell disinformation and manage multiple crises on the global stage.

In a major trade announcement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump will be sending official notifications to approximately 12 countries regarding upcoming changes in trade negotiations. Speaking to reporters, Leavitt emphasized that these communications will come directly from the President and are designed to secure “the best deals for the American people and the American worker.” The move signals a renewed push by the administration to rewrite trade terms viewed as unfavorable or outdated. While Leavitt didn’t name the countries involved, sources suggest key partners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America may be included. The administration’s strategy reflects Trump’s longstanding pledge to put American industry first and reshape the global trade landscape. Critics warn the strategy could strain diplomatic ties, but Leavitt made it clear: the President is doubling down on economic nationalism—one letter at a time.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a blistering response to critics following the catastrophic Texas floods that killed dozens. Addressing the press on Monday, Leavitt accused some media outlets and Democratic leaders of spreading “depraved, disgusting lies” about the administration’s response. She firmly rejected accusations of federal delay or negligence, saying rescue teams and emergency resources were “mobilized within hours.” The flood, which left entire communities submerged and at least 82 people dead, has ignited a new political firestorm, with critics blaming budget cuts and preparedness failures. Leavitt dismissed the allegations as “shameful exploitation of tragedy for political gain.” Her forceful defense and condemnation of the narrative sparked immediate reactions across social media and Capitol Hill. As floodwaters recede, the political storm is only intensifying — and Leavitt has made clear: the administration won’t stay silent.

Tornadoes tore through northwest Texas on Thursday, striking areas near Lubbock and leaving a trail of destruction. Over 13,000 homes lost power, and at least three people were injured in Hockley County. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning at 7:39 p.m., calling the storm a “life-threatening situation.” While Lubbock was spared a direct hit, severe thunderstorms, wind speeds of up to 80 mph, and hail the size of softballs wreaked havoc across rural communities, flooding roads and damaging homes throughout the affected counties.

During an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump lashed out at NBC’s Peter Alexander over a question about a $400 million private jet gifted by Qatar. Instead, Trump redirected the conversation to what he claimed was the “genocide” of white South African farmers, presenting a controversial video and accusing Alexander of ignoring white suffering. The tense moment highlighted Trump’s continued push on racially charged narratives, refugee decisions, and diplomatic theatrics involving U.S. allies and global perception.

Massive pro-Palestine protests erupted outside the White House as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington to meet Donald Trump. Protesters waved Palestinian flags, chanted “Free, free Palestine,” and held signs reading “Stop Arming Israel” and “Wanted: Netanyahu.” With Gaza's death toll soaring past 57,000, demonstrators condemned U.S. support for Israel’s military campaign. As Netanyahu faces ICC war crime warrants and a genocide case at the ICJ, global outrage mounts—while Trump pushes a six-day Gaza truce plan.
