 Press TVIran's tightly controlled state media made fun of Israel's reprisal attack on Friday, claiming that a few drones had been intercepted and no serious damage was done—with a top Israeli minister appearing to agree.
World capitals have been on edge since Iran launched an unprecedented direct attack on Israel last week, with President Joe Biden among those pleading with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond with a direct attack on Iran.
Late on Thursday, U.S. rolling news channels switched into breathless global conflict mode as reports emerged that Israel had dismissed the urgent advice of the White House and launched a strike on Israeli soil.

 ABCTaylor Swift fans have been counting down the seconds until the release of her much-anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which arrives today. But it was the Swifties who ended up being tortured when Jimmy Kimmel decided to prank a few of them by attempting to pass "Anything Is Possible," Lara Trump's painful-to-hear new single, off as a track from Swift.
Spoiler alert: No one was impressed.
"Taylor Swift's album isn't the only major release this month," Kimmel told his audience on Thursday. "It's the biggest, but we also got a new single a couple weeks ago from RNC co-chair and former first daughter-in-law Lara Trump."

 Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Getty/APDespite a feeling of one step forward and two steps back Thursday morning, the jury in the Manhattan District Attorney's election interference case against Donald Trump is now complete, with only the selection of five alternates left to be done.
Some legal experts had predicted that jury selection could take weeks but my own view was that the experience of Judge Juan Merchan, as well as the prosecutors in the case, would likely make the process a quick one.
In part, that is due to the fact that state courts in large cities are far more adept at handling jury selection in high profile cases than the federal courts with their more rarified atmosphere. But Merchan's approach did cause some unforced errors which may repeat themselves and grow worse if not corrected.

 CNNJesse Ventura, the former governor of Minnesota who was elected on neither the Democratic nor Republican ticket, confidently declared Thursday that, if given ballot access nationally and a spot in the presidential debates, he could actually beat not only Donald Trump but President Joe Biden.
On CNN's Out Front, Ventura, who hasn't held elected office since 2003, was first asked about Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and whether he would vote for him.
"I don't know yet," Ventura told anchor Erin Burnett, before praising the vaccine skeptic whose candidacy has spurred many family members to endorse Biden. "RFK and I have our differences. I met with him about the VP job. We met one evening for over two hours and discussed it, and I have all the admiration in the world for him. He has every right to run, and he's probably going to get a lot of votes."

 Paul Morigi/Getty Images for Care Can't Wait ActionRep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) went off on House Republicans on Thursday, mincing no words as she decried the group for preventing the swift delivery of aid to Ukraine.
During a debate on foreign aid on Thursday, DeLauro told the House Rules Committee that she remembered when certain GOP members said they would approve sending additional aid to Ukraine, if they could achieve a bipartisan agreement to boost border security.
"We accomplished bipartisan border security," she said, referencing the, now-dead Senate bill which tied aid to tighter border restrictions. "And you know what? It was Donald Trump who said: Don't. Give. Biden. A Win."
