The explosion at an ammunition plant in Tennessee left no survivors ... and Sheriff Chris Davis teared up when delivering the heartbreaking news.

In a press conference Saturday, authorities said they did not find any of the 18 people who went missing in the blast ... and were instead looking to identify their remains.

Sheriff Davis broke down a few times while talking to reporters, recalling how difficult it was to tell families their loved ones did not survive.

Trump's rep, Steven Cheung, blasted the decision, writing on X that “the Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace” by not recognizing Trump.

Jeffries, a Democrat, was speaking to reporters when Lawler, a Republican, approached and confronted him ... asking why he wouldn't sign on to a bill that would reopen the federal government.

That triggered 4-minutes of personal attacks and insults. It's not even so much what they said as how it was said. Each talks over the other -- they both represent New York -- and at one point Jeffries wags his finger right at Lawler's chest.
