Logan Paul shows off gruesome aftermath of tricep surgery, says he was 'wide awake' during operation

Logan Paul wrote on social media on Wednesday that he was awake when he underwent surgery to repair his torn triceps, which he tore during WWE's Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Paul also showed the scar on his left arm.

"Tore my tricep, got surgery while wide awake, told doc I wanna feel it all," he wrote in a post on X. "Still the Tag Team champ just FYI. They’re telling me 6 month recovery but I don’t believe them, I’ll be back in a couple weeks with some PRIME shake (32g protein)."

Paul was one-half of the tag team champions with Austin Theory. Paul Heyman said on "Monday Night Raw" that Theory wouldn’t have to relinquish the title and that it was The Vision who are tag team champions, so anyone could step in. Bron Breakker would be the one to step in for Paul, while he was on the mend.

Paul was on the receiving end of a front flip attack from Angelo Dawkins of the Street Profits during their match for the World Tag Team Championship. It appeared Paul was grabbing his left arm immediately after Dawkins landed on him.

Still, Theory was able to pin Montez Ford and retain the tag titles for The Vision. But Paul was hurt in the ordeal.

Theory was on a tear after he learned he could still remain a champion. He vowed to take out "every single person that was involved in hurting" Paul. Theory was unleashed and attacked Dawkins and Joe Hendry during the night.

It’s unclear whether The Vision will have another person to take Paul’s spot. Theory already named one person he could see as a potential prospect in an interview last week with Fox News Digital.

WATCH: Police absent from Delaney Hall chaos as agitators block ICE vehicles and agents use pepper spray

Mayor Ras Baraka’s police department was nowhere to be found as tensions rose late Wednesday outside the Delaney Hall illegal immigrant detention center. Protesters took over roles typically reserved for police, while ICE agents deployed pepper spray after a federal vehicle entered the premises and sparked chaos among the crowd.

Baraka, who lost the 2025 Democratic gubernatorial primary to Gov. Mikie Sherrill, had previously been arrested outside Delaney Hall during similar mayhem last year and has been defiant in demanding state and federal officials take action to close the facility.

As Fox News Digital returned to the scene late Wednesday, hundreds had already gathered outside the vehicle entrance to Delaney Hall’s sally port, while the other entrance — where Manhattan Democratic Reps. Jerrold Nadler, Daniel Goldman and Adriano Espaillat had legally gained entry — was lined with a protester medical tent and apparent commissary.

Doremus Avenue, a trash-strewn industrial boulevard, was reduced to one lane — though not by Newark Police or the Essex County Sheriff’s Office, but by protesters dressed as fire police.

BLUE STATE ICE FACILITY RAMPS UP SECURITY WITH NEW BARRICADES AMID CLASHES WITH PROTESTERS

By 9PM ET, Doremus Avenue’s southbound lane had been completely blocked by protesters, as reflective-vest-wearing "protester police" directed two-way traffic that often included large vehicles such as big rigs and goosenecks.

A single Essex County Sheriff’s deputy drove by the area rather quickly at one point, announcing that protesters should move to the sidewalk, but he was gone in a matter of seconds.

Some protesters appeared to break off from the group and quietly collect trash along the east side of the avenue, where a line of freight tracks ran.

STREET TAKEOVERS AND TRAFFIC CONTROL BY AGITATORS IN MINNESOTA CROSS LEGAL LINES, RETIRED DETECTIVE SAYS

As unmarked Delaney Hall transport vehicles approached from the south with flashing blue lights signaling they intended to enter the facility, protesters surged toward the entrance while others emerged from the direction of the freight tracks carrying several large items.

Some protesters called out to offer "goggles and tape; goggles and tape," portending what came next.

Two mattresses, a shredded orange highway bollard, tree branches and a sandbag were pushed toward the entrance and tossed into the middle of Doremus Avenue as ICE agents could be heard demanding the crowd move back to no avail.

As an Irvington-bound New Jersey Transit bus approached, it was briefly stuck in the suddenly unmanaged traffic lane while agents released pepper spray, dividing the scene around the trapped bus.

Once the bus was able to pass, a tear gas or pepper spray canister could be heard "popping" as another wave of irritant filled the air.

All the while, not a single Newark Police Department vehicle appeared on scene to help quell the mayhem.

TOP DEM GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING AT ICE DETENTION CENTER

Shortly thereafter, as Fox News Digital returned downtown, Newark Police cruisers and officers on foot lined streets near the Prudential Center as concertgoers exited the venue — far from the escalating confrontation outside Delaney Hall.

Baraka consolidated Newark’s police and emergency management apparatus under mayoral authority in 2015, forming an "Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security" that remains under his direct control, according to a source familiar with the department’s hierarchy.

"[This] merger enhances public safety by making the operations of these essential services more efficient and effective," Baraka claimed in a statement on the city’s website.

Baraka did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the absence of Newark Police officers outside Delaney Hall.

In March, Baraka declared "sanctuary cities" like Newark to be the "new Thin Blue Line in America."

Baraka’s comments at the time in a New Jersey Globe column appeared to foreshadow why his officers remained hands-off during the chaos at Delaney Hall.

DOJ SUES NEW JERSEY OVER EXECUTIVE ORDER LIMITING ICE COOPERATION, EXPANDING SANCTUARY STATUS

He said cities like Newark are "fighting to stop ICE to agents from violating the Constitution of our residents and ignoring local ordinances and law enforcement policies."

Instead of offering his city’s assistance to help ICE quell such anarchy, he boasted of an executive order requiring all city employees to instead report ICE activity that "seems abusive, unconstitutional" or that appears to be outside Newark law enforcement policies.

"It also prohibits our police and other law enforcement personnel from cooperating in immigration enforcement activities without a warrant or judicial order."

Fox News Digital also reached out to the police department and Essex County Sheriff Amir Jones’ office for comment on the balance of enforcement responsibilities between the two agencies.

While he did not respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry about the absence of his police force at the scene, Baraka released a lengthy statement criticizing the federal contractor operating Delaney Hall and calling on New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport to take legal action.

"For the past year, the City has been engaged in litigation with the GEO Group due to its failure to comply with municipal ordinances when it began operating Delaney Hall. Our concerns remain unresolved, as critical city agencies, including the Health Department, Fire Division, and Code Enforcement, have repeatedly been denied access to inspect the facility," Baraka said.

Baraka said detainees "smuggled out" letters that speak of inferior conditions and lack of medical treatment.

Nadler and Goldman said in a separate news conference outside Delaney Hall that inmates told them they were only offered Tylenol (acetaminophen) for any ailments.

Baraka said Davenport and Sherrill must "immediately investigate Delaney Hall."

Sherrill appeared at the center on Tuesday – voicing similar objections.

"It is imperative that we take all necessary steps to uphold the rule of law, ensure accountability, and protect the dignity and rights of some of the most vulnerable individuals in our care," Baraka said in his statement.

Redistricting war intensifies as GOP suffers setbacks in two states

House Republicans were hit with a minor setback this week in the redistricting war when two states set to redraw maps changed course. 

Alabama and South Carolina were primed for new maps, but a court order and move to buck the process by state lawmakers in the Palmetto State have, for now, nixed the act. It comes as both sides of the aisle are in an arms race to redraw their maps to gain an advantage in the upcoming midterm elections. 

While the South Carolina legislature opted against redistricting, Republican leaders in Alabama have asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on their new map after a lower court halted the process. 

At stake in both states are two new seats in the House that could benefit Republicans as they vie to keep and grow their razor-thin majority.

BLOCKBUSTER SUPREME COURT VOTING RIGHTS RULING IGNITES REDISTRICTING WAR ACROSS SOUTHERN STATES

But compared to the gains the GOP has made across the country in redistricting, particularly after the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act decision in April, Republicans aren’t sweating the setback. 

"House Republicans are competing from a position of strength, remain on offense in key battleground districts, and continue to benefit from a battleground that is far more favorable than Democrats want to admit," Mike Marinella, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Fox News Digital. 

On the broader scoresheet in a battle triggered by President Donald Trump and met in kind by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Republicans have the advantage.

REDISTRICTING BATTLES BREWING ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS PARTIES COMPETE FOR POWER AHEAD OF 2026 MIDTERMS

After the Supreme Court’s decision that effectively tossed out the new map in Virginia that Democrats spent millions to enact, Republicans are now looking at a possible gain of 16 seats compared to Democrats’ six. 

That comes from successes in Texas and North Carolina, and new maps in Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama — should the Supreme Court side with Republicans in Alabama. 

Democrats, though hit with a major setback in Virginia, gained five favorable seats in California and are eyeing a battle in Utah to gain at least one more.

BATTLEGROUND GOP LAWMAKER MOVES TO BLOCK WHAT HE CALLS DEMOCRATIC REDISTRICTING 'POWER GRAB'

Still, Democrats are confident they can gain ground in the fall. 

Viet Shelton, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told Fox News Digital in a statement that voters "are ready to reject Trump and Republicans for their broken promises on the economy, and they know it."

"It’s why they’ve given up on trying to win over voters fair and square, so they’re resorting to rigging the midterms through illegal gerrymanders and voter suppression," Shelton said. "The American people won’t stand for it, and Democrats are poised to take back the majority in November."

Meanwhile, in the House, the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus launched a gerrymandering working group, co-chaired by Reps. Jeff Hurd, R-Colo., and Ed Case, D-Hawaii, to tackle the issue that has "led to extreme partisan gerrymandering across the country."

Hurd said in a statement that redistricting should be approached with "transparency, consistency and respect for the rule of law." 

"Congressional representation should reflect the people and communities being served, not the political interests of whoever happens to be in power," Hurd said.

Trump says Iran is 'negotiating on fumes,' believes regime thought they could outwait him

President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that Iran is "negotiating on fumes" and that the regime thought they could outwait him when it comes to reaching a deal to end the war. 

Trump, speaking during a Cabinet meeting about three months after the launch of Operation Epic Fury, said Iran "very much" wants to reach an agreement. 

"So far they haven't gotten there. We're not satisfied with it, but we will be, we will be. Either that or we'll have to just finish the job," the president warned. 

"But their navy has gone, as I've said a thousand times, their navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Everything's gone and they're negotiating on fumes. But we'll see what happens. Maybe we have to go back and finish it. Maybe we don't," he continued. 

LIVE UPDATES: TRUMP SAYS 'NOBODY'S GOING TO CONTROL THE STRAIT,' OR 'WE'LL HAVE TO BLOW THEM UP'

The president also said Iran’s economy "is in freefall" with surging inflation and money that "has no value." He mentioned, "They're just going back to the internet because they're getting clobbered," referencing reports on Tuesday that Internet access in Iran was partially being restored following a lengthy blackout.

"They thought they were going to outwait me, you know, ‘We'll outwait him, he's got the midterms.’ I don't care about the midterms. Look what happened last night. That was the prelude to the midterms," Trump added. 

IRAN AND HOUTHI TERROR PROXY FACING RED SEA THREAT FROM PRO-US AFRICAN NATION

"Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I'm doing that for the world. I'm not doing it just for us. And we've had great support from other nations, by the way. We don't need it at all. But we've had great support from other nations," Trump also said. "The problem is you always get the support when you don't need it. When you need it, you don't get the support. With Operation Epic Fury, our warriors are ensuring that the world's number one state sponsor of terror never obtains a nuclear weapon. And they won't." 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, following Trump, that diplomacy remains the first option for resolving the war with Iran.

"There's an agreement to be made. We want that to be made. I think there's been some progress and some interest. And we'll see over the next few hours and days whether progress could be made," Rubio said during the Cabinet meeting. 

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth added, "Whether it is through the efforts of your negotiators that they ensure that they never have a nuclear weapon, or we have to go back to the War Department to finish the job that way, we're prepared to do that."

Trump says he thinks he'll attend NBA Finals game as Knicks close in on long-awaited championship

President Donald Trump all but confirmed his attendance at the NBA Finals beginning next week, revealing Wednesday that he plans to watch the New York Knicks as they make their first Finals appearance in nearly 30 years.

Trump said at Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday that he initially had plans to attend the Knicks Game 5 at Madison Square Garden, but the team swept the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night to make their first Finals appearance since 1999. 

"I was invited to the – I was going to go on Wednesday, but they closed it out very quickly," he said when asked by a reporter if he planned to attend. 

"Jim Dolan's a great guy. He's, as you know, owns and is in charge of Madison Square Garden. He's having a good year. Boy, what a team. They won all their games. They have some great players. I think I'll be going to one of the games. I was invited by numerous people and Jim. And I think I'll be going. Great, great to see it."

US ally pledges support for Trump's push to break Iran's grip on Hormuz: 'We are ready to contribute'

UNITED NATIONS — The Czech Republic is prepared to help protect freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and is aligning closely with the Trump administration on security, NATO and Israel, Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka told Fox News Digital during an exclusive interview at the United Nations in New York.

Prague already had begun discussions about contributing specialized capabilities to help secure the strategically vital waterway amid growing tensions with Iran, Macinka said while speaking at Security Council-related meetings at the U.N. 

"We are ready to contribute to freedom of passage and the Hormuz trade," Macinka said. 

"We were among the first countries that were ready to contribute … We have no navy, as we are in the middle of Europe," he explained, "But we have some unique passive surveillance capabilities."

TRUMP SEEKS WARSHIPS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TO HELP SECURE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Macinka warned that Iran posed a global threat through what he described as four main "war tools": nuclear proliferation, drones and ballistic missiles, international terrorism and threats to the Strait of Hormuz. 

"Their nuclear military program must be stopped," he said. "It’s a global risk and global threat."

The comments come as the Trump administration has increased pressure on European allies to take a larger role in protecting international shipping routes amid Iranian threats tied to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil transit choke points. Roughly one-fifth of global oil consumption passes through the narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea.

Speaking after a meeting with foreign ministers in Sweden Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio questioned the value of hosting U.S. military bases in allied countries that later restrict American military operations during wartime.

"One of the arguments I always made was that these bases in the region provided us with logistical options that we wouldn’t otherwise have," Rubio told reporters. "And when some of those bases are denied to you during a conflict that we’re involved in, then you question whether that value is still there."

President Donald Trump also has sharply criticized NATO allies over a reluctance to participate in military operations tied to the Iran conflict and securing the Strait of Hormuz. 

Trump said he was "strongly considering" pulling the United States out of NATO after allies failed to join the U.S. campaign against Iran, according to an April 1 interview with Britain’s Daily Telegraph, calling the alliance a "paper tiger."

The Czech Republic, a NATO member since 1999, reached NATO’s benchmark of spending 2% of GDP on defense and has supported calls for Europe to increase military readiness amid Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Macinka strongly defended the administration’s calls for Europe to increase defense spending and reduce dependence on Washington for long-term security guarantees. 

"We should do our homework and build our defense to become stronger," he said, arguing that Europe had delayed necessary military investments for too long.

He also tied Europe’s defense spending challenges to the European Union’s Green Deal policies, the bloc’s sweeping climate agenda aimed at reducing carbon emissions, calling them ideological and financially destructive. 

"If we get rid of this green, crazy alarmism, then we have enough money to build our defense," he said.

The Czech foreign minister also voiced unusually direct support for Trump and his administration, praising what he described as a global "common sense" shift following Trump’s election victory.

"We are friends of Israel, and we are friends of America," Macinka said. "Especially me as a politician, I'm a friend of the ideology of the current American administration."

Macinka also referenced a clash earlier in 2026 with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the Munich Security Conference, where he criticized Europe’s liberal political establishment and defended the populist wave reshaping parts of Europe and the United States.

EUROPE MUST LEAD ON UKRAINIAN SECURITY GUARANTEES, GREEK FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS: 'WE ARE THE NEIGHBORS'

Macinka linked Prague’s strong support for Ukraine to the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, when hundreds of thousands of Warsaw Pact troops occupied the country for more than two decades.

He said that historical experience continues to shape Czech public opinion and support for Kyiv.

"The Czech society feels a big solidarity with Ukraine," Macinka said, describing the war as a "symmetric war" between a powerful Russian military and a Ukrainian army backed by the West.

Macinka highlighted Prague’s leading role in a Czech-backed ammunition initiative supplying Ukraine with artillery rounds collected through international donor efforts. 

Recalling a visit to Kyiv earlier in 2026, he said he received intelligence briefings on battlefield ammunition consumption from Ukrainian military officials.

TRUMP, ZELENSKYY TO MEET FOR KEY DEAL AS NATO ALLIES, RUSSIA WAIT, WATCH

The Czech initiative delivered more than half a million rounds of ammunition in 2026 alone, according to Macinka, helping stabilize the battlefield ahead of possible peace negotiations.

Macinka argued that maintaining a stable front is essential for meaningful negotiations, warning that shifting battle lines will only harden demands on both sides.

With Washington increasingly focused on the Middle East, Macinka also said Europe must begin taking a larger diplomatic role in future negotiations over Ukraine.

"America is quite busy with the Middle East," he said. "Europe should wake up and ask for a place at the table."

Sharyn Alfonsi out at ’60 Minutes' after feud with Bari Weiss, rips CBS for ‘chilling message’ to newsroom

"60 Minutes" correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi announced Wednesday that CBS News declined to renew her contract months after she lashed out at editor-in-chief Bari Weiss for delaying a segment about allegations of abuses at the El Salvador prison CECOT. 

Liberal critics of Weiss and Paramount CEO David Ellison have accused them of bending the knee to President Donald Trump and trying to curry favor with his administration. Alfonsi, a longtime correspondent for "60 Minutes," insisted late last year that the decision by Weiss to hold the story, "Inside CECOT," was done for political rather than editorial reasons. 

Six months later, Alfonsi said her agent’s attempts to negotiate were ignored by CBS honchos and blasted the network for "abandoning" its mission to prioritize independent reporting. 

"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at ‘60 Minutes,’" Alfonsi told Fox News Digital. 

'60 MINUTES' CORRESPONDENT LAMBASTS 'CORPORATE MEDDLING' AT CBS, ADMITS SHE COULD BE FIRED

"Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at ‘60 Minutes’ is apparently over," she continued. "In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like ‘modernization’ and ‘restructuring’ to explain away my departure. Don't be misled."

Alfonsi, who is technically still employed by CBS News, said that it was "not a routine corporate transition," and instead a "deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom."

"Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at ‘60 Minutes.’ Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it," she said. 

'60 MINUTES' REPORTER LASHES OUT AT BARI WEISS AFTER SEGMENT ON EL SALVADOR PRISON YANKED AT LAST MINUTE

"The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not," Alfonsi added. "If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like ‘60 Minutes’ but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters." 

CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

In December, Weiss delayed the "Inside CECOT" segment that featured Alfonsi interviewing some released deportees, who described torturous conditions. A CBS spokesperson told Fox News Digital at the time that it was determined the segment needed "additional reporting," reportedly due to concerns about not yet having an on-the-record response from the Trump administration for the newsmagazine segment. 

In a stunning note to fellow "60 Minutes" staffers that quickly leaked to the media, Alfonsi said her segment was being held for political reasons, not editorial ones. Alfonsi told colleagues Weiss had "spiked" the story and not given her a chance to discuss it further.

"Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices," Alfonsi wrote. "It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one."

WHO IS SHARYN ALFONSI? ‘60 MINUTES’ CORRESPONDENT IS ALLEGING POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN HER STORY ON CECOT

She added that "60 Minutes" made requests for comment to the White House, Department of Homeland Security, and the State Department. Their silence was their statement, she wrote, and allowing that to delay the story was effectively giving them veto power.

"If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient," she wrote.

CBS ended up airing the segment in January. 

Alfonsi previously came under fire in 2021 for a "60 Minutes" segment where she challenged Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and painted a narrative that he had given supermarket chain Publix preferential treatment on distributing COVID vaccines because its PAC had donated $100,000 to his campaign.

However, the story came under significant criticism, including from Democrats like Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz. Publix had more than 800 locations in the state, making it an ideal location for distributing the vaccines to a state with a high senior population.

Publix fired back against the notion that it essentially bribed DeSantis, calling the suggestion "false and offensive."

Weiss has seen several high-profile talent exits during her tenure, which has been marked by sharp criticism from liberal media observers.
