Watch: US official says Trump saved 258 million lives in first 100 days; JD Vance's expression goes viral
JD Vance's expression at the Cabinet meeting is going viral.
As all cabinet members on Wednesday were heaping praises on President Donald Trump as his administration crossed the first landmark of the first 100 days, Attorney General Pam Bondi went overboard as she said Trump has saved 258 million lives, which is equivalent to 75 per cent of the
US population
. The claim stunned many social media users but they pointed out that vice president
JD Vance
, who was sitting beside her, was equally bewildered by her claim.
"President, you first 100 days has far exceeded that of ANY other presidency in this country. Ever. Ever. Never seen anything like it. Thank you," Pam Bondi said.

"34,000 kilos of fentanyl, since you've been - your last 100 days. Which saved, are you ready for this media? 258 million lives," Bondi said. Kids are dying every day because they're taking this junk, laced with something else they don't know what they're taking. They think they're buying a Tylenol or an Adderall and a Xanax and it's laced with fentanyl and they're dropping dead and no longer because of you, what you've done," Pam Bondi said. On Tuesday, she wrote on X that the fetanyl seizures had seven over 119 million lives.

Pam Bondi provided a formula to The Daily Beast for how she arrived at the figure. "3,400,000 grams of fentanyl multiplied by the 'current purity level' of .1518, divided by .002, the lethal amount per gram. The result: 258,060,000," the report said.
But JD Vance's facial expression said it all, social media users noted, as JD Vance was seen doing mental math when Pam Bondi announced the figure.
"The US population is 340.1 million people, ~33 million are under 10. So he save the lives of ~84% of those of us over 10 years old," one wrote.
One X user pointed out that Pam Bondi did not say American lives and by the volume of the fentanyl, she was correct.
"Vance realizing some MAGA math happened somewhere," one person commented. "You can see whats left of JD's logical brain fighting for its life," a second person wrote.

US military evaluating options to prevent nuclear-armed Iran, general says
The top US general overseeing American forces in the Middle East said on Tuesday there were a range of options when asked if the military was prepared to respond with overwhelming force to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran. 'I have provided the secretary of defense and the president with a wide range of options,' US Army General Michael 'Erik' Kurilla, the head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), told a congressional hearing. Kurilla was responding to Representative Mike Rogers of Alabama, the chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, who asked if CENTCOM was prepared to respond with overwhelming force if Iran does not permanently give up its nuclear ambitions. 'I take that as a yes?' the Alabama Republican asked, after Kurilla responded. 'Yes,' Kurilla said. Iran said on Monday it would soon hand a counterproposal for a nuclear deal to the United States in response to a US offer that Tehran deems unacceptable, while US President Donald Trump said talks would continue

Pentagon says estimated cost of national guard deployment to LA is $134 million: Report
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed back against Democrats' criticism of the decision to deploy troops to Los Angeles, telling Congress that the Trump administration wants to protect immigration agents and keep demonstrations there from getting out of control. Asked by Representative Betty McCollum, a Minnesota Democrat, how much the deployment would cost, Hegseth criticized Governor Tim Walz's handling of protests that erupted after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis 2020. President Donald Trump recognizes 'a situation like that, improperly handled by a governor like it was by Governor Walz, if it gets out of control — it's a bad situation for the citizens of any location,' Hegseth said. He said Immigration and Customs Enforcement 'has the right to safely conduct operations in any state and any jurisdiction in the country, especially after 21 million illegals have crossed our border under the previous administration.' Hegseth's comments during the hearing, which at times turned combative, echoed Trump's remarks Monday in which he said he 'watched Minneapolis burn.' Officials also gave more detail on the scope of the deployment and the role the Marines will play. Hegesth said the deployment would last 60 days, as detailed in a presidential memorandum over the weekend. Speaking alongside the defense secretary, Acting Pentagon Comptroller Bryn MacDonnell said the deployment is estimated to cost $134 million, which covers travel, housing and food. The funds would come from the department's operations and maintenance accounts. And in a separate Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith said the Marines deployed are trained in crowd control and 'being deployed to support law enforcement.' They are equipped with 'shields and batons' and 'they do not have arrest authority,' he said. The decision to send in the National Guard and the Marines has provoked an outcry from Democrats. Representative Pete Aguilar, a Democrat who's district includes a portion of Los Angeles, asked Hegseth 'Why are you sending war fighters to cities to interact with civilians?' 'Every American citizen deserves to live in a community that's safe, and ICE agents need to be able to do their job,' Hegseth responded. 'And if they're attacked, that's lawless, and President Trump believes in law and order. So he has every authority' to deploy troops under US law. The protests entered their fifth day on Tuesday after more clashes between police and demonstrators rallying against a rising number of raids by ICE agents, who local officials say have stoked fear in the immigrant-rich community. US law generally bars the use of the active-duty US military from carrying out domestic law enforcement. Trump over the weekend authorized Hegseth to deploy armed forces 'as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property.'
