Football influencer Kay Adams turns in worst Heisman pose ever, 7'9 first pitch & thick Chip Kelly

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:12:24 -0400

The sun is out, the Canadian wildfire smoke suddenly doesn't exist anywhere east of the Rocky Mountains & it's time to pump out a fresh edition of Wednesday Screencaps for those of you who are just trying to pass the time until your next week off before football season.

Let's get rolling with Kay Adams, the football broadcasting influencer, self-admitting to turning in one of, if not the worst, Heisman poses in influencer history. She was at Fanatics Fest over the weekend and was hired to do some chat with famous athletes, including Joe Burrow.

I'm not a huge Kay Adams fan like OutKick's Zach Dean to the point where I'd take a bullet for her, but I get her appeal. Kay turned 40 in April and is one of the only women in the broadcasting game who seems fun, hasn't pivoted into a yoga instructor and doesn't tell guys that they're perverted for finding her attractive.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DEFEND CODY RHODES' AWFUL, TERRIBLE PLACEKICKING PERFORMANCE

For those of us in our 40s, Kay is a unicorn. I get it. We're used to being called pigs by the COVID-era, Sarah Spain types who ruined the sports/pop culture world for about six years. There was a brief period right there before 2020 where the Spain types ruled.

Thankfully, those days are history.

"Wanna see the worst Heisman pose of all time? 🙋🏻‍♀️what was I trying to do here? i need to take a lap," Kay cheekily wrote on her latest Instagram post.

KAY ADAMS HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL FOR PUNISHMENT AFTER FEET END UP ONLINE, LIKELY LEAVING DMS IN SHAMBLES

– Rory remembers: Sad news as someone from a baseball family who spent childhood summer mornings watching Baseball Tonight on repeat.

I'm 99% positive I ran into him in an airport a few years ago, but he looked like he had spent the previous day in the sun drinking a bottle of scotch. Thought it best to leave him alone.

Kinsey: My hope is that Ravech loses the rug (allegedly), shaves his head, grows out a bad boy, Hogan NWO-style goatee and gets busy living life. Ravech is in his early 60s. I have to believe he's set financially. Now it's time to let loose.

– S.E. emails: You did not do your research . The director of the Dolfins cheerlears is a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. KaShara was the point for DCC.

Kinsey: That's true, I did not investigate the background of the Dolphins cheerleader management team. Guilty as charged, but this now explains why the Dolphins' program is suddenly being operated, at least on social media, like the Cowboys. This is great news for consumers. A rising tide lifts all cheerleader programs, S.E.

– Drew in Katy, TX says: Add Cracker Barrel to your "Doomed Restaurant Chain" list. The CEO crawled her way aback out of the hole that she created last year. Now she is starting down another one.

From WSJ: "Cracker Barrel Raises Guidance After Maple Street Biscuit Divestiture, Sale-Leaseback Deal" " The company said it had entered into the transaction with an institutional real estate investor for 26 of its company-owned Cracker Barrel locations.

"The deal generated net proceeds of about $77 million, which the company said it plans to put toward debt reduction."

This is like selling a house that you own debt free in order to pay off credit card debt so that you can start making house payments again. This has failed miserably for other companies (See Google AI results on the topic below the stock price chart.) The company shares moved up. "Shares in Cracker Barrel jumped 9% to $58.20 in after-hours trading on Monday." Now she will do more of this. It will be a downward spiral . . . just give it enough time . . .

https://www.wsj.com/business/cracker-barrel-raises-guidance-after-maple-street-biscuit-divestiture-sale-leaseback-deal-395f8281

Kinsey: I need Screencaps financial analysts to weigh in here. Even though the stock price has rebounded, is the writing on the wall that Cracker Barrel needs to be added to my "Restaurants That Won't Exist In 5 Years" list?

– Jim T. in San Diego opines: Wow - do the powers that be in the baseball-first SEC not know what a bad look their threats to break away from the NCAA is? The last time the South seceded it didn't turn out all that well.

Plus, if they break away, no more College World Series - which, realistically, is the SEC's only solid chance to claim a national championship these days ...

– Chris W. in California is living through this right now: I feel for Brad S. and the locust like scourge of having a bunch of teenage boys over at your house. Especially during the Summer we have an ever rotating group of my sons' friends hanging out at our house, all of them in the 10-14 year age range.

I'm pretty certain you could feed most small armies for less than what it costs me to keep food in my house. A $120 Taco Bell bill is one of the many reasons I make sure we have enough stuff so we don't have to order out very often (And when we do it's either pizza or blessedly, because we live in California, In-N-Out which is still the best bang for your buck in all of fast food), but I have both a Sam's Club and Costco membership because they are the only ways to keep the horde sated. When there's a sleepover I dread waking up the next morning to see the remnants of the blitzkrieg on my pantry and fridge, and I know no matter what I'm going to have to run out to get more eggs and bread (teen boys eat SOOOO much bread) to make breakfast happen.

Fake password-manager alerts could put your vault at risk

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:07:59 -0400

You open your inbox and see a message about updated security policies. Nothing about it screams scam. The email looks polished, the wording sounds official and the button promises a quick way to review the changes. That is exactly what makes it dangerous.

LastPass is warning users about a newly identified phishing campaign that uses lookalike domains and a fake DocuSign page to lure people into downloading suspicious software.

The good news is that LastPass says its systems were not affected. The bad news is that scammers are counting on you to trust the logo, overlook the web address and click before taking a closer look. Here is what to watch for before one routine-looking email puts your entire password vault at risk.

FBI HELPS TAKE DOWN AI PHISHING RING

LastPass phishing scam starts with a routine policy email

The phishing email comes from hello@lastpassnewsletter.com. Its known subject line reads, "Action Required: Review Updated LastPass Security Policies." Inside, the message claims LastPass has made service policy changes. It mentions enhanced SaaS monitoring. It also claims administrators can reset master passwords and that the admin console has improved.

Those details make the email sound like a real company notice. However, the sending domain belongs to the attackers. LastPass says lastpassnewsletter[.]com has no affiliation with the company. The email includes a Review & Access Terms button. That button creates the next layer of the trap.

Fake LastPass page sends you to a DocuSign lookalike

Clicking the button sends you to lastpasscompliance[.]com. The landing page copies the look of DocuSign and claims a document is ready for review. That choice makes sense from a scammer's perspective. Many people receive electronic signature requests at work or while handling personal paperwork. A familiar layout can lower your guard before you inspect the web address.

We have seen the same trust trick in other fake DocuSign email scams. The brand name gives the request a sense of legitimacy, even when the sender and domain do not match. LastPass says Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Cloudflare classified the phishing site as malicious. The page also prompted visitors to download software that claimed to work on Windows and macOS.

LastPass was still investigating the download when it published its warning. Therefore, you should treat the file as dangerous and avoid opening it. The site also displayed a live support chat box, although it was unclear whether the chat worked. The malicious page had gone offline by the time the campaign was reported. However, attackers can quickly replace blocked domains with new ones.

Similar Bitwarden emails widen the warning

LastPass users are not the only targets. Bitwarden customers have received similar messages from hello@bitwardennewsletter.com. Those emails directed recipients to bitwardencompliance[.]com. The matching format suggests attackers may be reusing the same campaign structure across password manager brands.

That matters because password manager customers present an attractive target. One stolen master password could put many saved accounts at risk. Multi-factor authentication may still block access, depending on your security settings.

A password manager remains valuable protection. In fact, autofill can help expose a fake website because the manager should recognize the legitimate domain. You can compare current options in our guide to the best password managers for 2026 at cyberguy.com

LastPass users have faced several phishing lures in 2026

This campaign follows other LastPass-themed phishing attempts from earlier this year. In January, fake messages warned that users had only 24 hours to back up their vaults before maintenance. Then, a March campaign used fabricated email threads about unauthorized account access.

Both approaches relied on urgency to push people into acting before they verified the message. The new compliance notice uses a calmer approach. It looks like paperwork rather than a crisis. That may make it especially effective because policy updates feel normal and boring.

REDHOOK ANDROID MALWARE CAN QUIETLY HIJACK YOUR PHONE

Ways to stay safe from the LastPass phishing scam

A few careful steps can keep one convincing email from turning into a much larger problem.

1) Do not click the policy review button

Delete the message or report it as phishing. Do not reply. Avoid opening its links or downloading the file it offers.

2) Open LastPass on your own

Use the official LastPass app or type lastpass.com into your browser. Check for account notices after you sign in through the trusted route.

3) Read the full domain before entering anything

Lookalike domains often add a trusted brand name to words such as "newsletter" or "compliance." Check the website address before the first slash. A legitimate LastPass address should end in lastpass.com, such as support.lastpass.com, rather than merely containing the word "LastPass."

4) Pay attention when autofill stays silent

A password manager may refuse to fill your credentials on a fake domain. Treat that as a warning. Do not copy and paste the password to get around it. Instead, close the page and access your account through the official app or website.

5) Change your master password if you entered it

Use a trusted device and go directly to LastPass. Change the master password immediately. Then review your vault for unexpected activity, as LastPass recommends. Next, change passwords for sensitive accounts stored in the vault if you see signs of access. Start with email, financial accounts, cloud storage and social media. Use a different password for every account.

AMAZON RECALL TEXT SCAM COMES WITH RED FLAGS

6) Treat the download as dangerous

Do not open software offered by a security notice you reached through email. If you already opened the file, disconnect the affected device from the internet. Then use strong antivirus software to inspect it. Our current best antivirus protection guide at cyberguy.com can help you compare tools that block malicious websites and dangerous downloads. It also covers protection against malware. You can also follow these steps after you clicked a suspicious email and entered information.

7) Turn on multi-factor authentication

Enable multi-factor authentication for your password manager and other important accounts. An authenticator app or security key can add a barrier if someone steals your password. However, never approve a login request you did not initiate. A second security step only helps when you treat unexpected prompts as a warning.

8) Reduce the personal information scammers can find

Scammers often use information from data broker sites to make phishing emails feel more personal. That could include your phone number, home address, relatives or past employers. A data removal service can help find and remove some of that information from people-search websites. It will not secure a compromised password manager, but it may give scammers fewer details to use in future attacks. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com

9) Report suspicious LastPass messages

Forward questionable LastPass-branded emails to abuse@lastpass.com. LastPass says no one from the company will ever ask for your master password.

Kurt's key takeaways

What makes this scam dangerous is how normal the email looks. Most people expect password manager alerts to sound urgent. This one arrives dressed up as a boring policy update, which may make you less likely to question it. The biggest red flag is the web address. A company name inside a domain does not mean the company owns it. Before entering a master password or downloading anything, close the email and open the password manager directly. Your master password protects everything stored in your vault. Treat any request for it like someone asking for the keys to your house.

'Dutton Ranch' star Ed Harris blasts producers, says he wanted to void contract: 'Get me the f--- out'

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:02:44 -0400

Ed Harris says he came close to walking away from Taylor Sheridan's "Dutton Ranch."

The veteran actor revealed he felt "underused and inconsequential" while filming the show's first season, prompting him to tell his team to "get me the f--- out of here" before production wrapped.

"Prior to signing on for it, I was talked to quite a bit about what the season was, and what my character was going to do — and that I was one of the four main characters," Harris told Variety. "And that wasn't really the case."

COLE HAUSER SAYS HIS FAMILY HELPED SHAPE MONTANA AS FANS FOLLOW TAYLOR SHERIDAN FROM TREASURE STATE TO TEXAS

The Oscar-nominated actor, who plays veterinarian Everett McKinney in the "Yellowstone" spin-off, said he felt "misled" about the importance of his character after allegedly being promised a much larger role before production began.

By the middle of filming, Harris said he'd reached his breaking point.

Harris said he confronted the production about his concerns, though he did not identify Sheridan by name.

"I said, 'I'm feeling underused and inconsequential,' and they kind of went, 'Oh,'" Harris said. "I'm being told my character will have a little bit more to do [in Season 2]. I was just a little frustrated, to tell you the truth."

Looking back after watching the finished season, Harris admitted his perspective changed.

He called "Dutton Ranch" "pretty good" and said Everett ended up feeling "relatively important to the story." Still, he said that wasn't how it felt while cameras were rolling.

Harris said he filmed a sequence in which Everett is invited to sing in a bar — only to discover it had been axed from production.

"So, there's this scene in there … I'm talking to [Beth Dutton] at the bar, and [Rip Wheeler] comes in and says, 'OK, Everett, come on, it's your turn,'" Harris said. "I walk up to the mic, and they cut it… They cut the song out. I'm going, 'F--- you, people.'"

According to Harris, producers told him the musical moment was removed because it was "too 'up' for the dark ending of that episode."

Harris said he felt that was "enough reason to say I'm voiding my contract."

Despite his blunt remarks, Harris remains signed on for two seasons of "Dutton Ranch," and it remains unclear whether he is seriously considering leaving the series.

Sheridan's latest chapter in the "Yellowstone" universe debuted on Paramount+ in May.

The series picks up with fan favorites Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) as they trade Montana for South Texas, where they're determined to build a ranch — and a new life — from the ground up.

Joining Reilly and Hauser is an ensemble cast that includes Harris, Annette Bening, Finn Little, Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca and Natalie Alyn Lind.

Angelina Jolie achieves 'complete cutting of ties' between kids and Brad Pitt as twins turn 18: expert

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:00:57 -0400

A decade after one of Hollywood's most bitter divorces began, Angelina Jolie has finally achieved a "complete cutting of ties" with ex-husband Brad Pitt.

With the former couple's youngest children now 18, the last legal thread connecting Jolie and Pitt has effectively been severed, a family law expert explained to Fox News Digital. The expert argued the Oscar winner has reached the outcome she had been seeking since filing for divorce in 2016.

"For those that followed the Pitt/Jolie divorce since 2016, it should be no surprise that Angelina Jolie is finally able to achieve what she attempted to get in the 2016 divorce — a complete cutting of ties between the children and Brad Pitt," Holly Davis, cofounder of Kirker Davis LLP, told Fox News Digital.

BRAD PITT FACES FRESH FAMILY BLOW AS DAUGHTER CLEARS MAJOR HURDLE TO DROP HIS LAST NAME

Pitt and Jolie share six children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox and Vivienne.

Twins Knox and Vivienne reaching adulthood on July 12 means custody issues are no longer before the court, giving Jolie the freedom to make decisions that previously required court oversight.

"Because she was unable to achieve this result in the parties' divorce, she had to wait until the youngest children were 18 to be able to do the things that the court would not allow her to do," Davis explained.

What ultimately drove the children's estrangement from their father remains impossible to know from the outside, according to Davis.

"Whether or not she influenced them in hating their father based on the legitimate problems in her romantic relationship with Brad, or whether they all suffered similar difficult moments as a family which lead to their decision to no longer see him, will be anyone's guess," the family attorney said.

Jolie and Pitt's daughter Vivienne is seeking to remove "Pitt" legally from her last name — from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie — just over a week after turning 18, according to People magazine.

The petition was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, with the reason for the name change noted as "personal," per the outlet, with the hearing scheduled for November 2.

Two years prior, Vivienne worked on the Broadway play "The Outsiders" with mom Angelina, and was credited as "Vivienne Jolie" in the playbill. Vivienne worked as a producer assistant on the musical while Angelina served as a producer.

BRAD PITT FIGHTS FOR SURVIVAL IN 'HEART OF THE BEAST' TRAILER AS FANS SAY HE'S 'COOLER' THAN YOUNGER ACTORS

Jolie may have effectively severed the remaining legal family ties, but experts say the public fallout might not significantly damage Pitt's Hollywood standing.

"Brandwise, it’s not that big of a hit to Brad Pitt’s name or brand," entertainment attorney Tre Lovell told Fox News Digital. "He’s such a universally well-known star, and his divorce with Angelina Jolie and strained relationship with his kids have been well publicized."

"Most of the public would chalk it up to an unfortunate problem with the relationship with his kids, but as far as his brand, it’s still strong and would survive any type of criticism in this area," the lawyer for Los Angeles-based Lovell Firm explained.

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER

Five of Pitt and Jolie's children have distanced themselves from the actor by dropping his surname, with Vivienne and three of her siblings choosing to make the change official legally.

"[Pitt's] talent remains unquestioned. But when multiple adult children publicly choose to stop using your surname, the conversation inevitably shifts from career to character," crisis communications expert Kaivan Shroff told Fox News Digital. "Whether fair or unfair, that’s the kind of narrative no amount of good publicity can easily overcome."

Zahara filed to formally remove "Pitt" from her surname in June. If granted, her legal name will change from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie. Her name change follows Shiloh's name change in 2024. Maddox also reportedly filed a petition in May.

"This isn’t about a single family decision…it’s about accumulation," he added. "One child dropping a famous last name might be dismissed as an isolated event. When it happens repeatedly across multiple adult children, it stops looking like celebrity gossip and starts becoming part of a public figure’s legacy."

The public's reaction to the family drama, however, remains open to interpretation. While some experts believe the repeated rejection of Pitt's surname could become part of his public legacy, others contend the developments may instead generate sympathy for the Oscar-winning actor.

"One of the primary things that parents should focus on in a divorce is the well-being of the child, and that often means striving for the child to have a healthy relationship with both parents," Jordan Matthews told Fox News Digital.

The entertainment attorney for Los Angeles-based Holtz Matthews LLP argued that while the decision to drop Pitt's last name was "highly personal," it is likely to leave many members of the public "sympathetic to Pitt’s position."

Biden administration forced a false choice on Americans about immigration

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:00:15 -0400

Economist Thomas Sowell famously observed, "There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs."

Few ideas better explain America's immigration debate.

During the Biden-Harris administration, politicians, activists and much of the media often spoke as though weakening immigration enforcement came without cost. Border security was portrayed as the enemy of compassion. Anyone who questioned the consequences of illegal immigration risked being labeled anti-immigrant, xenophobic or worse.

MOM FROM VIRAL RO KHANNA DEBATE SAYS DEMS CAN'T CLAIM TO SUPPORT BOTH SECURE BORDERS AND SANCTUARY POLICIES

The American people never accepted that false choice.

Neither did my parents.

They immigrated legally from a developing country in the early 1960s because they believed America was a nation of opportunity built on the rule of law. They never saw legality and compassion as competing values. They understood that one depended upon the other.

AMERICA NEEDS WORKERS, BUT TRUMP'S POLICIES ARE SHARPLY CUTTING LEGAL IMMIGRATION

Since my daughter Katie was killed in January 2025, I've been told more times than I can count that advocating for stronger immigration enforcement somehow makes me anti-immigrant.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The polling tells a different story than the rhetoric. If Americans had truly become anti-immigrant, support for legal immigration would have collapsed. It didn't. What collapsed was confidence that the government was willing to enforce the laws governing immigration.

HUNDREDS OF JAILED ILLEGAL ALIENS RELEASED BACK ONTO BLUE-STATE STREETS DESPITE ICE DETAINERS, RECORDS SHOW

That distinction matters.

Katie was 20 years old when she was killed while visiting friends at the University of Illinois. According to court records, the man responsible had previously been deported before unlawfully reentering the United States in 2022, during the unprecedented surge in illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris administration. Illinois then compounded those failures through policies that, in my view, reduced cooperation with federal immigration authorities and failed to account for foreseeable public safety risks.

Katie became one of the foreseeable consequences of those policy choices.

That is the trade-off too few leaders were willing to discuss.

Every public policy creates benefits, costs and risks. Honest leaders acknowledge them. Responsible leaders weigh them. Wise leaders build guardrails to reduce foreseeable harm. Reckless leaders pretend the trade-offs don't exist.

Compassion is a virtue. So is public safety. So is the rule of law.

A mature society should never have to choose among them.

Yet during the Biden-Harris administration, Americans were repeatedly told that enforcing immigration law "terrorized" communities while questioning illegal immigration reflected a lack of compassion. That rhetoric didn't elevate the debate. It distorted it. It turned the rule of law into the villain while too often dismissing the families whose lives were forever changed by foreseeable policy failures.

My family is one of them.

The overwhelming majority of immigrants who come to America legally enrich our nation. They build businesses, strengthen communities, serve in our military and pursue the same opportunities my parents sought decades ago.

They deserve better than an immigration debate that blurs the line between legal and illegal immigration.

They also deserve leaders willing to acknowledge that every public policy carries foreseeable trade-offs. Ignoring those trade-offs doesn't eliminate them. It simply transfers the costs to someone else.

That may be the greatest irony of the Biden-Harris administration's approach to immigration.

Those who claimed to be defending immigrants may have done more than anyone to undermine public confidence in immigration itself. By refusing to distinguish between legal immigration and illegal immigration — and by insisting that concerns about enforcement were rooted in intolerance rather than legitimate questions of governance — they weakened the public trust upon which every successful immigration system depends.

Sowell's insight was never merely about economics.

It was about leadership. Trade-offs exist whether politicians acknowledge them or not. Ignoring them doesn't make them disappear. It only determines who pays the price.

My daughter Katie was one of those people.

America has not rejected immigrants. It has rejected the false choice that says we must choose between compassion and the rule of law.

We don't have to.

We never did.

If we want America to remain the most welcoming nation in the world, we must restore public confidence that our immigration system is lawful, orderly and honest about the foreseeable trade-offs of the policies our leaders choose.

That isn't anti-immigrant.

It is pro-immigrant, pro-rule of law, and, ultimately, the only way to preserve both.

Olympic rowing legend Olaf Tufte dead at 50

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:00:15 -0400

Olaf Tufte, an Olympic rower who competed in seven Olympic Games for Norway, has died, his family said Tuesday. He was 50.

Tufte competed at his first Olympics in 1996 when the Games were held in Atlanta. He first competed in the men’s coxless four before he moved into single and double sculls – where he found most of his success on the world stage.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

He won gold medals in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics in single sculls. He took home a silver medal in the 2000 Olympics in double sculls and a bronze in 2016 in double sculls. He made a seventh Olympic appearance in 2021 when the Games were held in Tokyo.

Tufte was found unconscious at his family farm on Monday, Reuters reported, citing a statement in Norwegian media.

"Medical personnel arrived quickly at the scene and life-saving first aid was initiated before ⁠Tufte was airlifted to hospital for further treatment," the statement said.

"There were no ⁠witnesses to the incident and no suspicion of a workplace accident."

German Olympic star Jason Osborne was among those who reacted to word of Tufte’s death.

"I remember watching you as a kid and winning in Beijing," he said, via Olympics.com. "This was my motivation to start my rowing career! You were and will always be a true inspiration! R.I.P champion."

Fox News Power Rankings: Democrats lead in the House, but redistricting keeps the GOP in the game

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:00:13 -0400

The president’s party has lost an average of 25 U.S. House seats in Trump-era midterm elections. Given that Democrats only have an edge on the generic ballot and in party affiliation, so far, they look like they’re on track for an "average" night.

Republican redistricting wins change that calculation. The GOP is likely to bank about a dozen seats from new district boundaries drawn by Republican-controlled state legislatures, up to nine of those in Florida and Texas alone.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom scored his party an extra three to five seats after voters approved his gerrymandering referendum, but overall, the GOP won this battle in what now looks like a redistricting "forever war."

WHERE TRUMP, GOP VS DEMOCRATS REDISTRICTING BATTLE HEADS NEXT IN WAKE OF KEY COURT RULINGS

Together, this adds up to a small Democratic lead in the House. They start with 211 races in their categories, or seven short of the 218 they need for a majority. If they win more than a handful of toss-up races, they will have enough to flip the chamber.

There is enough room for the Republicans to maintain control on a good night for the party. Since toss-up races tend to be won and lost together, they could even improve on the slim majority they currently enjoy.

Five races that tell the story

Redistricting is at the heart of many key races this year, but the top of the ticket in each state, candidate quality, and ground game are still important themes. Here are five districts to watch.

New York’s 17th district

The 17th district, up in the Hudson Valley, is the quintessential median district: a place that, on any given day, could swing in either direction.

Voters elected Republican Mike Lawler here by 6 points in 2024, but also voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris by 0.3 points, making it one of the rare ‘crossover’ districts of that election, and arguably the top target for Democrats in a more favorable political environment.

The party got moderate and combat veteran Cait Conley through the primary, despite competition from a progressive challenger, and she’s charted a center-left, anti-Trump course to flip the district. She’s one of the top ten fundraisers in competitive districts this quarter.

Lawler won’t go down without a fight. He has Trump’s endorsement but disagrees with him at times, including over his refusal to sign a bipartisan housing bill.

This is a competitive race in a blue-leaning year, so it starts at Lean D.

Pennsylvania’s 7th district

Democrats fought hard to elect Gov. Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania at the last midterms. This time, they’re in the driver’s seat. Shapiro has the support of 53% of voters in a July poll, and the GOP isn’t likely to invest in flipping it.

The House is a different story. The Keystone State is tied only with California for the largest number of highly competitive districts: four across the state, all on the east side.

MIKE JOHNSON PREDICTS GOP COULD GAIN UP TO EIGHT SEATS IN MIDTERMS, DEFYING HISTORICAL TRENDS

The seventh district is notable for its candidates: Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, the Republican who flipped the district in 2024 and whose mother, Milou, is a popular state representative in the Lehigh Valley, and Bob Brooks, a local firefighter who enjoys the endorsements of both Shapiro and Senator Bernie Sanders.

The race offers a clear look at whether a Democrat who seems to have unified both wings of his party can also appeal to White working-class voters who have swung toward the GOP during the Trump era. It’s a toss-up.

North Carolina’s 1st district

Republicans took a knife to North Carolina’s district boundaries last year to make this seat, in the northeast corner of the state, more Republican.

Under the new lines, the district has fewer Black voters, and that includes the seat’s current congressman, Rep. Don Davis, a moderate Democrat whose home in Snow Hill was moved to the 3rd district.

Davis is still running in the first district these midterms (congresspeople don’t have to live in the districts they represent), where he will face Republican and retired Army Colonel Laurie Buckhout, a pro-Trump conservative who is leaning into her military experience.

It’s a close race by many measures, including fundraising, with both candidates raising $1 million in the last quarter.

Republicans will flip the seat on a good night, to be sure. But in what looks like a favorable cycle for Democrats, it’s not yet clear that the GOP has an edge. It starts as a toss-up.

Alabama’s 2nd district

Alabama’s second district is currently home to Rep. Shomari Figures, a Democrat who flipped the seat for the first time in over a decade after a federal court ordered the state to redraw it with a higher Black population in 2023.

He probably won’t occupy it much longer.

After the Supreme Court’s ruling to narrow a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in April, Gov. Kay Ivey restored the original map; White voters now make up nearly two-thirds of the district’s population.

Figures is still running; he’s likely to face Trump-endorsed state Rep. Rhett Marques in the general election in a race that the National Republican Congressional Committee is investing in.

It’s a redistricting win for Republicans, and a Likely R pickup in the forecast.

Florida’s 14th district

Other redistricting efforts might not yield such clear-cut results.

In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new map could yield up to four more Republicans in November, but it depends on what kind of night the GOP has across the country.

As the Wall Street Journal pointed out in April, "making a blue district more Republican means making a red one less Republican." (Florida’s 26th district is a great example of the latter, though it’s still ranked Solid R in this forecast.)

The delicate balance has also meant creating new Democratic-incumbent districts that, yes, have more GOP-leaning voters in them, but not so many as to guarantee a flip.

Florida’s 14th district is a perfect case study. Under its new lines, it would’ve voted for President Trump by 11 points in 2024. Given Florida’s rightward drift, it would usually start as a likely GOP pickup.

That’s not the case this year. Incumbent Democrat Kathy Castor doesn’t have a competitor yet, but she has $1.5 million in cash on hand and support from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, so she’s not out of this fight.

It’s a Lean R race.

Israel's new exhibit exposes years of Hamas terrorist planning before Oct 7 massacre

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:56:30 -0400

The "Return to October" exhibition offers an immersive reconstruction of the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, combining video with declassified Israel Defense Forces intelligence and planning materials recovered in the Gaza Strip that reveal how the Palestinian terrorist group planned and carried out its cross-border assault.

The 600-square-meter exhibition was assembled by the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center (IICC), a nonprofit dedicated to commemorating fallen members of Israel's intelligence community.

The exhibition features vehicles used in the attack, a film on the abduction of Israeli hostages, a mock Hamas tunnel, and excerpts from the Israel Defense Forces' 47-minute compilation of raw footage from the assault.

INSIDE ISRAEL'S MISSION TO TRAIN CIVILIANS TO STOP THE NEXT OCT 7-LIKE TERROR ATTACK

"The main conclusion of this exhibition is that Hamas prepared this terror invasion over a long period in a highly organized and professional manner. It gathered extensive intelligence over many years, and visitors can see examples of that intelligence-gathering effort throughout the exhibition," Yossi Kuperwasser, head of the Institute for the Research of the Methodology of Intelligence at the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center, told Fox News Digital.

Kuperwasser said the exhibition's most significant feature is its collection of documents seized by the IDF in Gaza that Hamas sought to keep hidden. Among them are materials indicating that Hezbollah chose not to fully join the Oct. 7 attack out of concern that Israel would respond with a major offensive. The documents also shed light on the relationship between Hamas and Iran, including the extent of Tehran's involvement.

"The most important lesson is that Israel's enemies are constantly planning large-scale terrorist attacks. They seek to wipe us off the map, and if you become complacent and assume they are not preparing such attacks, you are mistaken," he said.

ISRAEL'S MILITARY ELIMINATES HAMAS TERRORIST WHO HELPED ABDUCT AMERICAN-ISRAELI HOSTAGE, 3 OTHERS

The exhibition's first room features a map marking 114 points where terrorists breached the border into Israel on Oct. 7. Red circles identify the communities that were attacked, while a dotted red line traces where the attackers were ultimately stopped. According to the exhibition, about 4,300 Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist operatives entered Israel at the start of the assault, followed by another 1,500 to 1,700 Gazans described as "uninvolved civilians."

Displayed in the room are Egyptian, North Korean, Russian, Chinese and Iranian-made weapons, alongside arms supplied to Hamas by Hezbollah.

The tour guide Eyal, whose last name could not be disclosed, displayed a kidnapping kit containing handcuffs, electric shock devices and syringes intended to sedate hostages, alongside what he described as a "spiritual kit" containing a miniature Quran and a fatwa, or religious ruling, calling for the killing of Israelis.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROBES UNRWA OVER ALLEGED EMPLOYMENT OF 1,500 TERRORISTS

Another display features military gear belonging to former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, as well as a handwritten document recovered by the IDF from the European Hospital in Gaza.

"Here, he instructs Hamas terrorists to attack the Zionists, burn villages, kill and kidnap people, humiliate soldiers, and document everything using GoPro cameras for social media," Eyal said.

The document also states that Sinwar hoped Iran, the Houthis, Hezbollah, Arabs in Judea and Samaria, and Arab citizens of Israel would join the assault.

Also on display are aerial photographs that Hamas used to map Kibbutz Be’eri, identifying individual homes, the armory and the security chief’s residence; an operational plan dated Oct. 6 that was shared only with Hamas commanders to prevent leaks; and a booklet translating Arabic phrases into Hebrew.

The exhibition also highlights Hamas education and incitement. Shelves display books recovered from Gaza, including copies of Mein Kampf found in schools, while photographs show children posing with weapons after attending Hamas summer camps.

"It begins in childhood," Eyal told Fox News Digital.

Another room focuses on Hamas’s exploitation of journalists and UNRWA for terrorist purposes, featuring displays that organizers say show 60% of reporters killed in Gaza were Hamas members or affiliated with the organization, a photograph of a UNRWA school allegedly used as a combat headquarters, and a map of Israel labeling towns and cities with Arabic names.

A garage-like room displays a white Toyota pickup truck and motorcycles used in the terror assault.

"We found that 153 pickup trucks and 350 motorcycles entered Israel that day. Many of these Toyotas were imported into Gaza through Ashdod Port in Israel," Eyal said.

Another room shows excerpts from the IDF’s 47-minute compilation of raw footage from the attacks. Many journalists chose not to watch because of the graphic content, while some who remained in the room left in tears.

Toward the end, a corridor displays the names and photographs, in alphabetical order, of the 1,224 people killed during the attacks, including soldiers, police officers, civilians, Jews, Arabs, Christians, and Druze.

"When we fail in our mission, this is the situation we arrive at," Eyal said.

The final room features footage of Israeli hostages reuniting with their families and concludes with an optimistic painting depicting a flourishing southern Israel.

GOP senators unveil move to memorialize communism victims on CCP's doorstep amid Dem civil war: 'No tolerance'

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:53:46 -0400

FIRST ON FOX: Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., introduced legislation Tuesday to create a memorial in Washington, D.C., honoring victims of genocide, crimes against humanity and political persecution committed by the Chinese Communist Party as the Democratic Party deals with a socialist civil war in its ranks.

The bill, titled the Honoring the Victims of Communist China's Tyranny Act, would require the State Department to establish a memorial in International Park, across from the CCP Embassy, honoring victims of the Chinese Communist Party's persecution. The memorial would commemorate victims from Mao Zedong's rule, whose policies historians estimate killed tens of millions of people, to the Tiananmen Square crackdown and the genocide against Uyghurs recognized by the U.S. government.

"The people of China deserve nothing less than the God-given liberty and unalienable rights America's founders fought for 250 years ago," Scott said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"America should have zero tolerance for Communist China and its crimes."

REPORT DETAILS RISING PRESSURE ON UNDERGROUND CATHOLICS AS CHINA DENIES CRACKDOWN

Scott added that Xi Jinping and the CCP are "responsible for some of the worst human rights abuses in history," citing forced slave labor, torture, forced sterilizations and organ harvesting as well as several "other horrors."

In an X post on Tuesday, Scott criticized far-left political influencer Hasan Piker, who previously praised Zedong as "one of the great leaders of this world" and "a man who changed the entire universe, the entire planet." Piker, who has roughly 10 million followers across social media, has also drawn criticism for past inflammatory remarks, including saying the United States "deserved" 9/11, and recently campaigned with Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.

HASAN PIKER VOWS NEVER TO CRITICIZE MAO ZEDONG IN RESURFACED VIDEO, HAILS HIM AS ‘GREAT LEADER’

"Mao Zedong's dictatorship of the CCP resulted in the deaths of tens of MILLIONS of people," Scott wrote.

"We know Hasan Piker shills for communists, but praising a dictator who is known for mass murder & causing one of the worst famines in human history is beyond the pale. This is the new face of the Democrat Party."

Blackburn echoed that sentiment, telling Fox News Digital that the CCP "is guilty of the worst human rights abuses imaginable."

"Our legislation would honor victims of Communist China's tyranny by allocating existing funds and donations to build a memorial that will ensure America never forgets the human cost of the CCP's oppression," she said.

MORNING GLORY: WILL XI FREE LAI?

Citing jailed Hong Kong publisher and democracy activist Jimmy Lai as an example, Scott said anyone who speaks out against the Chinese government will "pay the price." Lai is serving a 20-year prison sentence under Hong Kong's national security law, which Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called "unjust and tragic."

By placing the memorial across from the CCP Embassy, Scott said Chinese officials would be reminded daily of the CCP's crimes.

"As Xi's henchmen at the embassy walk into work every day, they should have to face the litany of crimes in which they've been complicit," he said.

The bill would require the memorial to express "solidarity and friendship of the people of the United States with the people of the People's Republic of China" and "the hope and prayer that the Chinese people may one day enjoy the blessings of liberty."

The memorial would include exhibits documenting "the genocide of Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in Xinjiang," as well as efforts to suppress the culture, religion, history and language of Tibetans and Southern Mongolians, according to the bill.

The legislation limits taxpayer funding for the memorial to $500,000 while permitting private donations to fund the remainder.

Trump administration has lost or abandoned hundreds of lawsuits against anti-ICE protesters, migrants: report

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:38:25 -0400

The Trump administration has lost or abandoned hundreds of cases in which it accused anti-ICE protesters and migrants of assaulting federal immigration agents, a report said.

An analysis from The New York Times showed that of the 558 people charged, 191 cases were dismissed, and 22 people were acquitted. Only four were convicted after trial, while 246 pleaded guilty and another 95 cases are pending.

The newspaper reported the Justice Department typically has a record of more than 90% of defendants pleading guilty or being convicted at trial. The Trump administration’s strategy in court has been leaning on 18 U.S.C. 111, a statute that makes it a federal crime to assault or forcibly impede a government officer and carries punishments ranging from a fine to 20 years in prison, it added.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department for comment.

NEW YORK TIMES TORCHED FOR 'FALSE' REPORTING ON ICE INVESTIGATIONS, OUTLET FIRES BACK

DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis told The New York Times that "it should come as no surprise that there’s an increase in criminal referrals under 18 U.S.C. 111 as there’s been a massive increase in violence and threats against federal law enforcement."

"Federal prosecutors are correct to prioritize these prosecutions and hold individuals accountable to the fullest extent of the law," added Justice Department spokesman Wyn Hornbuckle, describing how prosecutors, at times, reduced or dropped charges based on "mitigating factors identified in a case."

The New York Times cited another Justice Department official as saying that prosecutors in some of the cases dropped charges when the defendants were deported from the United States.

The newspaper said it based its analysis on court filings, hearing transcripts, videos of encounters and interviews with witnesses and federal officials.

ICE RESUMES NATIONWIDE TRAFFIC STOPS UNDER NEW POLICY REQUIRING BODY CAMERAS

It reported that in dozens of the cases that were lost or abandoned, court records and video showed that federal agents initiated physical struggles, such as shoving, tackling and pepper spraying defendants. Other defendants were able to successfully argue that the assaults they were accused of committing against the federal agents were acts of self-defense, the newspaper added.

Two of the judges overseeing the cases discovered agents purposely destroyed evidence, including demanding that a defendant delete images from their cellphone, according to The New York Times.

Officers also charged more than two dozen people who allegedly filmed or followed agents, sometimes honking car horns or shouting phrases like, "La migra is coming!," despite no allegations of physical contact with agents, the newspaper reported.

In one case, a judge dismissed assault charges against an immigrant after ruling that the agent involved was cut by glass from a car window that the agent had smashed, and in 65 instances, prosecutors abandoned or dropped charges before deadlines to present evidence to a grand jury or judge, the New York Times also said.

The report did note one occasion when federal immigration officers were seriously hurt by protesters and migrants, including the dragging of an officer who had his arm inside a car window.

ESPN laying off Karl Ravech leaves fans fuming, but the writing has been on the wall for years

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:33:15 -0400

What a week over at ESPN. It looks a little different today, if you haven't heard.

The World Wide Leader laid off dozens of employees this week, starting with Monday's on-air debacle with Ryan Clark. OutKick broke that story, by the way, despite what the PR folks at ESPN want to tell you.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

Clark was let go, along with Cam Newton and Tom Pelissero, among others. Clark was the biggest name because he was the biggest gaslighter, but the other two were somewhat stunning, too.

Newton had become a fixture on First Take, while Pelissero is well-respected — although he was more of a casualty of the merger with NFL Network. A lot of cooks in the NFL insider kitchen now.

The biggest stunner, however? How about ESPN deciding to cut ties with longtime baseball voice, Karl Ravech? That one shocked the internet.

Furthermore, it infuriated the internet. Everyone was pretty mixed on Clark. You either loved him or hated him.

But Karl Ravech? The 33-year vet? The voice of Sunday Night Baseball? The voice of Baseball Tonight? The voice of the College World Series?

That one upset people:

ESPN had been distancing itself from MLB for years now

I could go on and on. It's a war zone over on Elon's app right now, and rightfully so.

Ravech, by the way, was also the voice of the Little League World Series, which is set to start next month. Brutal move.

Look, layoffs are all part of the job, especially in this business. I've only been in it for 10 years, but I've seen at least four rounds of layoffs already. Never been part of one (mainly because I don't get paid enough), but I assume I will someday.

I remember years ago I was out covering a Stetson baseball tournament game when a massive round of layoffs hit the office, particularly the sports department. I came back that afternoon and we had lost two sports editors and a writer. Doesn't sound like a lot, but that was half our staff at that point.

I left in the morning and it was a regular day, and came back to three empty chairs. It was a bloodbath. Wild.

Anyway, firing Karl Ravech is a gut-punch to anyone who grew up watching baseball and ESPN. Remember the glory days of Ravech, Peter Gammons, Harold Reynolds and Steve Bethiaume?

Man, we had it all:

Lordy. What a time to be alive. I miss it so much.

Anyone whose been halfway paying attention knew this was coming, by the way. ESPN put all of its eggs in the NBA basket years ago, for some asinine reason.

ESPN also continue to distance itself from MLB, evidenced by the nasty fallout between the two last year that resulted in Rob Manfred shopping around the TV rights. That really got the ball rolling in terms of cutting the cord, and this latest move is the next logical step.

As for Ravech, I'd imagine he'll land on his feet pretty quickly — if he wants to. MLB Network is the obvious name to watch.

And yes, that would be a home run.

Republicans say they'd welcome Fetterman as GOP eyes bigger Senate majority

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:33:05 -0400

Republicans are ready to embrace a maverick Democrat eying an exit from the party to further grow their thin majority.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., recently drew a sharp line in the sand on what it would take to leave the Democratic Party, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., would be happy to have him officially cross the aisle.

"Yes, we would welcome him," Thune said. "And I haven't talked to him recently. I have had conversations with him in the past, as have many of my colleagues, about the challenges he faces in his caucus. And, you know, there are many of us who I think would welcome the opportunity to have him join the Republican conference."

TRUMP FACES REPUBLICAN REBELLION OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AS SENATE BILL NEARS DEAD END

Fetterman, who helped clinch a historically thin Democratic majority in 2022 running on a progressive platform, has transformed into a staunch advocate for Israel at the same time his Democratic colleagues in the Senate have begun pulling away from supporting the Jewish State.

He has routinely broken with his party in his support of the war in Iran and Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza. And that has fueled many of his policy positions on key votes in the upper chamber.

Fetterman told the Hill earlier this month that if Democrats continued to pull further and further away from supporting Israel, he’d leave.

"If our party ever becomes — and just makes it official — the anti-Israel party, that’s when I would leave because that’s been a moral clarity for me," Fetterman said.

WARREN DEFIES SCHUMER AS DEM CIVIL WAR EXPLODES OVER MUST-WIN SENATE RACE

Each time Senate Democrats have brought forward a war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s authority in the region, and force the administration to come to Congress for approval, Fetterman has joined Republicans to vote it down.

Earlier this year, Fetterman argued, "Something like this is much more important than just voting what your base might demand."

"Because I think things are much bigger and more important than that," he continued. "And Iran with a nuclear bomb is one of those things."

DEMS SCORE WIN AS GOP SENATOR HELPS ADVANCE IRAN WAR POWERS RESOLUTION

Fetterman’s edict on his party’s possible evolution came after 103 House Democrats — over half of the caucus — voted to end $3.3 billion in taxpayer-funded aid to Israel.

And earlier this year, Senate Democrats showed their slow creep backward against Israel, too, following the release of photos of starving children in Gaza.

Forty Senate Democrats voted to halt arms sales and military bulldozers to Israel as an act of protest against Trump’s war in Iran in April.

The two resolutions from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., combined would have blocked nearly $500 million in arms and equipment sales to Israel. One resolution would have halted the sale of roughly $295 million in Caterpillar bulldozers, while the other would have stopped the sale of nearly $152 million worth of 1,000-pound bombs.

Still, Thune said as much as Republicans would want to add him to their ranks, particularly with his seat up in 2028, the decision remains with Fetterman.

"I mean, this is a party that's moving further and further, more radically, and to the more extreme left on a lot of issues," Thune said. "And I think people like John Fetterman, who have views that probably reflect a more moderate or at least historically moderate Democrat position, are really kind of people without a home."

"So if he ever comes to the conclusion that he's ready to move, we would certainly welcome it," he continued.

‘Hero' mom dies after using last strength to save 4-year-old son from Florida river

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:00:27 -0400

A Florida "hero" mom died after using all her strength to keep her 4-year-old son above water when he fell into the St. Johns River, allowing rescuers to pull the boy to safety, authorities and her family said.

Nicole Grayson, 43, jumped into the river after her young son fell into the water at Ed Stone Park, west of DeLand, around 4 p.m. Saturday, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators said the child had been playing with an unidentified object near a wooden fence along the river’s edge when he dropped it over the barrier. The boy fell into the river while attempting to retrieve it.

OFF-DUTY ICE OFFICER RELIES ON 'SIXTH SENSE' TO SAVE DROWNING CHILD BEFORE DELIVERING MESSAGE TO CRITICS

Grayson immediately went in after him.

"My guess is he was trying to get it. He slipped in the water, deep, he slipped away in the water," Grayson’s oldest son, Dafino Devega, told FOX 35. "And then my mom, I guess she panicked, and she went in the water and tried to save him."

CROCODILE ATTACK HORROR UNFOLDS AS COUPLE TRIES TO SAVE VICTIM: ‘WE FELT SO HELPLESS’

As Grayson struggled to keep her son above the surface, a witness at the park flagged down a passing boater, who threw two life preservers toward the mother and child, the sheriff’s office said.

Grayson eventually became submerged while continuing to hold her son above the water.

A frantic 911 caller told dispatchers that rescuers had managed to reach the child but were still struggling to recover his mother.

"Hey 911, can you come to Ed Stone Park?" the caller said in audio obtained by FOX 35. "We have a mother that’s drowned, and we got the baby, but we can’t get the mama."

The boater maneuvered close enough to pull the 4-year-old aboard. The boy was unharmed, according to authorities.

Witness Jon Reaka said Grayson appeared to expend all her energy ensuring her son survived.

"She spent all her energy trying to get her kid up over the edge," Reaka told FOX 35.

Reaka jumped over a railing and onto the boat, where he helped pull Grayson from the river. She was unresponsive when she was brought aboard.

"I jumped over the rail, jumped onto the boat and pulled the lady up onto the boat and, you know, we started CPR — I started CPR and mouth-to-mouth immediately," Reaka said.

Emergency medical personnel took over lifesaving measures after arriving at the park. Grayson was rushed to a hospital, where efforts to revive her continued for several hours.

She died in the intensive care unit around 10 p.m. Saturday, the sheriff’s office said.

"I tried everything I could do to save her," Reaka told FOX 35. "You know, I feel horrible. I mean, it’s so sad what happened."

Grayson was a mother of six whose final act reflected the fiercely protective way she had lived, her family said.

"That’s the type of mom that she was; she was a hero," Devega said.

"My mom, she was a strong woman," he added. "She would do anything to keep her kids safe."

Experts finally solve mystery of teenage Revolutionary War soldier 246 years after his death

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:00:22 -0400

The remains of a teenage Revolutionary War soldier have finally been identified — over 246 years after he was buried in an unmarked grave.

The discovery, which researchers believe is the first identification of a Revolutionary War soldier using DNA and forensic genetic genealogy, was announced in June.

Researchers at FHD Forensics used advanced DNA analysis and forensic genetic genealogy to identify the remains as Private John Pumphrey, a teenager who died at the Battle of Camden in South Carolina.

MYSTERIOUS 18TH-CENTURY WARSHIP UNEARTHED AT GROUND ZERO SITE GETS NEW HOME

The Battle of Camden was one of the Continental Army's worst defeats during the Revolutionary War, and hundreds of American soldiers died during the engagement.

Officials believe Pumphrey enlisted in 1777, when he was between 13 and 15 years old — meaning he was between 16 and 18 years of age when he died on Aug. 16, 1780.

Pumphrey's remains were uncovered at the battlefield site in 2022 during a University of South Carolina excavation.

In a June news release from FHD Forensics, officials said a tiny piece of the soldier's skull was used to extract DNA, allowing researchers to uncover his identity before he was reburied with military honors in 2024.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR ARTIFACTS UNEARTHED AT SITE OF INFAMOUS COLONIAL AMERICAN HEIST: 'VERY SURPRISED'

"He would have been one of the youngest members of George Washington's revered 'Old Line,'" the release said.

It was not "highly unusual" for young boys to enlist in the Continental Army, though it was rare, said Allison Peacock, president of FHD Forensics.

Peacock told Fox News Digital that it was a "pretty regular occurrence for young boys to volunteer."

She added, "They were supposed to be at a certain age, but that rule was [broken] all the time, from what we understand."

HIDDEN REVOLUTIONARY WAR BAKE HOUSE IS UNCOVERED AFTER SPENDING CENTURIES UNDERGROUND

Researchers were initially surprised, she said, because they knew from anthropological analysis that the soldier was very young — but they struggled to understand why someone like him had enlisted.

"When we started seeing the families he was related to, they were all prominent Anne Arundel County, Maryland, founding families — the gentry class," she said.

"The Pumphreys were very prominent in lumber, building and land ownership, so none of our historians or the people we were working with thought it made sense for a boy that young to come from one of those families."

After uncovering details about the turmoil surrounding his father's estate following his parents' deaths and learning that his family lived much closer to Baltimore than they had realized, they said his decision to enlist in Baltimore made much more sense.

"Knowing those little details to put the story together changed everything," Peacock said.

"When you see the proximity to Baltimore and you see what was going on in his family and his military record, you get a picture of what led this boy to go enlist in Baltimore."

Peacock said she is confident the remaining unidentified Camden soldiers can also be identified using the same techniques, provided the team can secure funding.

"It is our understanding that it is the first time it's ever happened," she said.

"We're already rewriting the story of the battle," added Peacock. "We're learning things that historians had no way of knowing until we got into the DNA."

Saquon Barkley tackling streaming maze as NFL keeps growing worldwide: 'I'm all about eyes'

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:55:37 -0400

Saquon Barkley knows that he is "quote unquote, one of the faces" of the National Football League. It is not an easy title to hold, but being a No. 2 overall pick turned 2,000-yard rusher, Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl winner will do that to you.

Barkley's very first game as a Philadelphia Eagle was played in Brazil, and this year, the team will travel to London in Week 5 to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

But as the NFL continues to grow its audience and lap the field, Barkley is "all about eyes."

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

"It’s so important that we are traveling across the country to play the game. The more eyes you can get on it, the better it’s going to be," Barkley told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

"The more people are going to want to grow up and play football, want to be involved. It’s really kind of crazy that football is probably the biggest sport, and we really haven’t even scratched the surface yet, to be completely honest. There’s so many more territories that we just take over, and I think the NFL is doing a really good job of that.

"I’m a fan of getting as many eyeballs as we can in the game, help growing the game. Anytime I can get an opportunity to play in front of someone that’s never got to watch the game, I want to try to make it memorable and have an impact on them… So right now, I’m all about eyes, eyes, eyes on the game, and let’s grow this game as big as we can, and let’s have an impact on as many people as we can."

That's why Barkley has joined forces with DIRECTV ahead of his ninth NFL season. As part of the campaign, Barkley recorded a spot that turned his iconic hurdle into a humorous metaphor for the obstacles football fans now jump through just to find a game. It shows why Barkley wants diehard fans to keep watching games, dare we say, the old-fashioned way.

GEORGIA RUNNING BACK SUFFERS 'SERIOUS INJURIES' FROM ATV 'ACCIDENT,' COACH KIRBY SMART SAYS

"It’s going to be crazy in 10 to 15 years, the way you’re going to be able to watch football games," Barkley said of today's streaming-service takeover.

"It’s kind of like what I grew up on, and now to be able to have the opportunity to work with them, and to be able to not only bring it in the NFL level, but also in the collegiate level where the game continues to grow and how much eyes are continuing to get on this football game, I think it’s the only way. I think it’s the right way to do it, and for me to be able to have the opportunity to work with DIRECTV, someone I’ve been a fan of for a very long time and be able to shoot a spot with them, it was awesome."

Barkley has accomplished just about everything a football player could dream of. He can retire right now and continue the golf grind (he claims Philly's top five courses trump New Jersey's top five, although Barkley and this writer obliged that Pine Valley is a Philadelphia course). But as to why he's still grinding, his answer is simple.

"I love it," he said.

Robot bird swims underwater then flies away

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:55:33 -0400

Watching a diving bird vanish beneath the water can feel almost unreal. One moment it cruises through the sky. Seconds later, it swims after prey before returning to the air. Around 100 bird species can move between those two environments. Engineers have found that natural ability incredibly difficult to recreate at a small scale.

Now, researchers at MIT and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, known as EPFL, have built a robotic bird that can complete the entire journey. The 8.8-ounce robot flies, plunges into water and swims below the surface. Then it launches back into the air using the same set of flapping wings.

NEW YORK SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DEPLOY HUMANOID ROBOT IN CLASSROOMS THIS FALL

According to the research team, it marks the first bird-scale robot to complete that full cycle through flapping motion alone. The research appeared in the journal Science.

How this robot bird swims underwater and flies

Most amphibious robots use separate systems for air and water. This mechanical bird takes a simpler approach. The robot relies on flapping wings instead of propellers. It also completes its water launch without legs or a complicated wing-folding mechanism.

That design presents a major engineering problem. Water is about 800 times denser than air, so wings face far greater resistance once they enter the water. To handle that dramatic change, the robot adjusts its flapping speed. Its flexible wings also change shape as the surrounding pressure increases.

Flexible wings help the robot move through water

In the air, the robot can flap its wings up to 11 times per second. Underwater, its flapping rate ranges from 0.1 to 6 times per second. Meanwhile, water pressure can bend the wings by as much as 90%. That flexibility shortens the effective sweep of each stroke and reduces the load on the motor.

The same wings become more effective for flight once the robot reaches the air. Researchers also made the machine neutrally buoyant. As a result, it neither rises nor sinks on its own while underwater. That balance helps conserve battery power because the robot spends less energy fighting buoyancy.

Why the robot bird's water takeoff matters

The hardest part begins when the robot tries to leave the water. It completes the transition in under one second using about eight to 10 wingbeats. However, the maneuver requires a careful combination of wing flexibility, tail placement and launch angle.

Researchers found that moderately flexible wings worked best. A rigid wing struggles to adapt underwater, while excessive flexibility reduces the force needed for takeoff. The tail also needs to remain short and close to the body. Otherwise, it can drag through the water and pull the robot back down. An exit angle near 70 degrees produced the strongest results. A flatter approach creates too much tail drag. A nearly vertical launch can make the robot tip backward into the water.

ZELENSKYY ANNOUNCES 'THE FUTURE IS HERE' AFTER WAR'S FIRST ALL-ROBOT CAPTURE

What the robot bird can teach scientists

The machine also gives scientists a new way to study real diving birds. Tracking the movement of a live bird beneath the surface can be difficult. With a robot, researchers can adjust one feature and measure how that change affects performance.

For example, many diving birds reduce their wingspan while swimming. Researchers have often connected that behavior with lower energy use. The robot's results suggest that shorter underwater strokes may instead help birds increase speed.

The team also compared the machine's propulsion efficiency with that of real birds. Both fell within a Strouhal number range of 0.2 to 0.4, which researchers associate with efficient movement. However, body size can change the launch strategy. Heavier diving birds may use their legs to help push away from the water, while this lightweight robot relies entirely on its wings.

Why the robot may choose flying over swimming

The robot's most efficient travel mode depends on the distance ahead. According to the team's data, flying uses less energy once a journey extends beyond roughly 51 feet. For shorter trips, staying underwater may make more sense.

Water creates heavy resistance, so swimming becomes increasingly costly over longer distances. A future robot could use that difference to plan its route. It might swim toward a nearby target, surface and then fly to a more distant location.

How a $300 robot bird could monitor waterways

The prototype costs around $300 in materials and uses parts that researchers can source commercially. The team also released open CAD files for the project. That could allow universities and other builders with access to a 3D printer to reproduce the design.

Eventually, the robotic bird could help scientists monitor waterways and coastal environments. Researchers imagine launching it from shore or a boat. It could fly toward an area of interest, dive to collect a sample and then return with the data.

Potential missions could include taking measurements near an iceberg or observing marine wildlife from a safer distance. Flapping wings may also offer practical advantages in those environments. They avoid exposed high-speed propeller blades and could produce less noise around animals. Underwater, flexible wings may tolerate contact with debris better than rigid propellers.

What the robot needs before real-world missions

The current prototype still relies on human control during key parts of its journey. Researchers manually launched the robot during several tests. Timers or basic triggers also activated parts of its diving and swimming behavior.

Autonomous navigation represents the next major step. The robot would need to recognize its surroundings and control each transition without human assistance. Salt water creates another hurdle. Testing has focused on fresh water, so future versions will need stronger protection against corrosion. Longer range and improved endurance would also make the robot more useful outside controlled experiments.

What this means to you

You probably will not see robotic birds patrolling your local beach anytime soon. Still, this project shows how future drones could reach places that traditional flying machines struggle to explore. A single robot could gather information above the water before taking measurements below the surface. That flexibility could reduce the need for separate aircraft and underwater vehicles.

The low material cost also matters. Smaller research teams could experiment with the design without investing in an expensive custom platform. As navigation and battery performance improve, machines like this could make environmental monitoring more accessible.

Kurt's key takeaways

What stands out here is how much work the researchers get from one flexible set of wings. The robot changes its flapping speed, while the wings naturally bend to handle the resistance underwater. The launch back into the air makes this more than another bird-inspired drone. Pulling off that transition requires the right wing stiffness and a carefully controlled exit angle. The prototype still needs autonomous controls and better protection for saltwater. Even so, its $300 material cost and open design could give other researchers an affordable foundation to build on.

Dem Katie Porter makes surprising announcement about political future

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:54:24 -0400

Former Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., appears to be retiring from politics, telling the Sacramento Bee that it's unlikely she runs for office again after a series of failed bids for national positions.

Porter, fresh off a fifth-place finish in the California governor's race, told the Bee "I am closing the door on being a candidate," in a Friday interview with the outlet.

"I cannot foresee that path back," she added.

Porter, who left her Congressional seat to run for the Senate seat vacated by the late Dianne Feinstein in 2023, also lost that race, garnering over 1 million votes, but still falling short of the top two candidates, Steve Garvey and eventual winner Sen. Adam Schiff.

KATIE PORTER’S ATTEMPT TO BRUSH OFF VIRAL OUTBURST BACKFIRES AS CRITICS TORCH ‘WORST POLITICAL AD’

Both campaigns for the high-profile national offices were marred by personal scandals and public backlash to reports of Porter's private behavior.

In 2023, while running for Senate, Porter responded to claims that she abused members of her staff, including during one alleged incident in which she chastised a staffer for catching COVID-19.

The texts between Porter and her staff member showed Porter saying "you gave me COVID" and that Porter's "children have nobody to care for them."

Porter denied firing the staffer for the incident and said, "I regret if this employee feels disgruntled."

KATIE PORTER SAYS SHE REGRETS VIRAL OUTBURSTS AT REPORTER, STAFFER

Allegations of toxic behavior were renewed when a leaked video revealed Porter screaming and cursing at another staffer during her gubernatorial campaign in 2025.

"GET OUT OF MY F---ING SHOT" Porter screamed in the now-viral clip.

Porter has also come under fire for the bizarre way she abruptly ended a video interview with a local reporter.

The mounting scandals appeared to affect her electability.

Finishing a respectable third behind Garvey and Schiff in the 2024 non-partisan "jungle primary" for the state's Senate seat, Porter garnered 1.27 million votes from Californians, good for 17.2% of the electorate, according to California's secretary of state.

But in 2025, Porter finished fifth, receiving only 403,908 votes, representing only 4.4% of the electorate, according to the California secretary of state's certified election results.

She told the Sacramento Bee she would be focusing on making social media posts about books going forward.

Tom Brady's potential WWE storyline with Logan Paul receives support from fellow NFL legend

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:53:39 -0400

Tom Brady’s potential involvement in a WWE storyline with Logan Paul has been scrutinized over the last few days but the NFL legend finally found some support in a former colleague.

Drew Brees was asked about the idea of Brady and Paul meeting in the ring and appeared to support the idea.

COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON FOX NEWS DIGITAL

"They should. They should schedule it," Brees told TMZ Sports.

Brady and Paul have been in a feud since the seven-time Super Bowl dismissed Paul’s athleticism in the ring. The two met at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, and it appeared, for the time being, that the two put their differences aside.

However, at Fanatics Fest in New York, Brady and Paul met face-to-face. Brady attempted to slap Paul on stage following a larger talk. The two were also seen giving the middle finger to each other while watching the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.

TMZ Sports first reported that Brady was in talks with WWE about a potential appearance in the ring. Fox News Digital later confirmed the report.

It’s unclear whether it would be an actual match or some kind of valet role.

Regardless, Jake Paul had a message for the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.

"I’m honestly p---ed. I wish I was there to back him up," he told Fox News Digital. "But I have one message for Tom. The Paul brothers are coming for you and revenge is sweet. Tom, keep your head on a swivel."

Logan Paul has been sidelined with a triceps injury and his timetable for in-ring action is undetermined at this time.

DAVID MARCUS: In booming Detroit, voters skeptical of socialism snake oil

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:43:22 -0400

It is rare to find a bartender who knows how to make a good Vuex Carre, but Emily, at Le Supreme Brasserie, knocked it out of the park. She grew up in the suburbs, but loves living her 20s downtown, and the revitalization of the Motor City she enjoys may be a problem for far-left senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

A bit later, on Sunday night, I met Nick, 29, who grew up in Detroit and now works in advertising in Chicago. He marvels at the changes he has seen in his hometown.

"It’s so different now, a bunch of these places didn’t even exist a few years ago," he said.

DEMOCRATS' CIVIL WAR HEADS TO MICHIGAN WHERE PROGRESSIVES FACE BIGGEST TEST YET IN HIGH-STAKES SENATE SHOWDOWN

I heard it over and over again, and I could see it, as well. Along Washington and Woodward, the shops were buzzing, and even the heavy smoke from Canada couldn’t keep people from strolling the thoroughfares and valleys in the grand, sturdy Midwestern brick castle of downtown.

Not far away, earlier in the day, I had met Sean, who was walking his attractive dog and who moved to Detroit in 2019 from Philly. He lives in one of the fancier downtown buildings and loves his adopted hometown, and the lifestyle in the city.

"It’s easy going," he told me. "There is a lot to do. It’s great."

SWING-STATE POLL SPELLS TROUBLE FOR FAR LEFT AS SCHUMER-BACKED CANDIDATE DOMINATES WITH CRITICAL VOTING BLOCS

Sean is a committed Democrat who hates President Donald Trump.

"All that matters is that we elect a Democrat," he said. "R or D, that’s all it comes down to, which is a shame, but it's how things are."

For Sean, the top priority in the Aug. 4 Democratic Senate primary between Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens is electability. That is not great news for El-Sayed, who has been pushing back against the idea that he is too radical to get elected in purple Michigan.

DAVID MARCUS: SOCIALISM AND EL-SAYED RUN INTO HARSH REALITY IN BLUE-COLLAR MICHIGAN

He has reason to be concerned, as I learned from James, a retired plumber in his 60s, who is Black and has been involved in civil rights movements.

"This just doesn’t feel like that movement I’ve been a part of, it feels different," James told me. "It feels foreign to me."

And he wasn’t alone, as it turns out. The day before, I had met Kelly, an American woman of Iranian descent who warned that today’s far-left candidates like El-Sayed "are just like in Iran." She said Muslim immigrants in nearby Dearborn, are not assimilating.

"When Joe [Biden] opened that border, they were planted there," she said.

Taken together, these recent encounters, from some very different people around Detroit, painted a picture that seems to be increasingly favoring Stevens, which is presumably why Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did a three-stop tour for El-Sayed.

On Monday, El-Sayid got another boost of sorts as Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorsed him, although frankly, that is about as surprising as Tony the Tiger endorsing Frosted Flakes.

What is missing for El-Sayed – and all of his socialist out-of-town pals – in this city that is booming in comparison to many others in America, is any real, pressing need for socialism. Unlike New York City, where the rent is always "too damn high," in Detroit, affordability is not proving to be the same magical incantation that it was for Gotham Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Many Democratic voters I talked to wanted a steadier hand on the system, and they want to beat Trump and the GOP. But they don’t want to blow up the system which has been thriving in many ways.

There may be one more trump card to be played in this tight race in the form of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has thus far declined to endorse either El-Sayed or Stevens. As confusing as it may be to Republicans around the country, Whitmer is very popular among Michigan Democrats, in part because of Detroit’s revitalization under her watch.

The stakes of this race for the national Democratic Party could not be higher. It is a true and fair test of whether the far-left wing of the party, led by college-educated Whites and immigrants, can replace the old party of Jefferson and Jackson led by the working class and native minorities.

Another thing that stood out in Motown was that, aside from the Bernie rally itself, not one voter I talked to brought up Israel. One way or the other, this matters because, while El-Sayed’s constant negative focus on Israel may put him on the right side of the issue with most Democrats, these days, it's not a driving issue.

Waiting in the background for the dust to settle is Republican Mike Rogers, who is set to take on the Democratic winner. From his point of his chances.

CNN's Jake Tapper hits Dems for rejecting illegal voting concerns amid New Jersey voter roll controversy

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:29:01 -0400

CNN anchor Jake Tapper took a swipe at Democrats who have long rejected concerns about illegal immigrants voting in elections following Tuesday's stunning revelation out of New Jersey.

Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced that thousands of noncitizens had been mistakenly added to voter rolls.

Sherrill said that "roughly 6,600 people" who were never eligible to vote were registered due to the "serious software error" by the state's DMV between June 2023 and June 2024 during the previous administration.

She also revealed that "fewer than 400 individuals" among the noncitizens ended up voting in elections.

While covering the breaking news, Tapper acknowledged that the recent development does not benefit Democrats.

"This is not good for Democrats' argument that there's no such thing as undocumented immigrants voting," Tapper said during a panel discussion.

Growing trend of hating men backfires as anti-marriage culture leaves single women losing out

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:00:30 -0400

A growing anti-marriage movement is being fueled by viral TikTok trends and high-profile celebrities painting men as the enemy, but according to a new column, women may ultimately be the ones losing out.

In a USA Today op-ed, columnist Ingrid Jacques warned of a rising wave of "heteropessimism," defining it as women’s growing feelings of disappointment and antagonism toward relationships with men. She argued that viral trends like "divorce glow-ups" and anti-male literature have actively widened the divide between the sexes.

"Studies show that married women are not only happier but also live longer and earn more than their single counterparts," Jacques wrote on Tuesday.

RELATIONSHIP EXPERT CHALLENGES ONE OF AMERICA'S BIGGEST ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT DIVORCE

She explained that the media modern women consume is increasingly hostile toward traditional relationships, pointing to bestselling books like "Yesteryear," which centers on a "tradwife" influencer.

In that novel, Jacques notes, men are reduced to lazy or toxic tropes: "Either a man is an idiotic man-baby who lacks ambition and a brain, or he's a quintessential patriarch who pals around with other sexist pigs in the manosphere. Husbands are at one point referred to as ‘freaks.’"

On Amazon, the book’s description includes, "A gripping, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening, ‘Yesteryear’ is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood."

TRANS ACTOR ELLIOT PAGE ARGUES 'HEALTHY MASCULINITY' IS REJECTING EXPECTATION TO 'SHUT DOWN'

The trend coincides with falling U.S. marriage and birth rates. Official U.S. Census Bureau data from December shows that just 47% of American households in 2025 were married couples, down from nearly 66% 50 years ago. Of those married households, only 37% included their own children under age 18, compared to 54% in 1975.

Jacques linked the shift directly to liberal ideology, noting that left-leaning Americans choose to opt out of traditional family lifestyles "far more often than conservatives."

"Wherever you look these days, women who ‘free’ themselves from the chains of marriage are being celebrated," Jacques wrote. She highlighted cultural figures who publicly champion singlehood or life after divorce, including "Eat, Pray, Love" author Elizabeth Gilbert and model Emily Ratajkowski.

In April, comedian Leslie Jones criticized marriage, saying that most people she knew who got married are now divorced and arguing that "marriage is legalized slavery."

VIRAL NIKKI GLASER CLIP PROMPTS DISCUSSION OVER WHETHER MONOGAMY IS DEAD

A 2024 American Family Survey found that 37% of conservative women and 28% of moderate women, between the ages of 18 and 40, reported being "completely satisfied" with their lives. However, liberal women of the same age reported only 12% feeling the same way.

The sentiment has also taken over social media through trends like the TikTok "divorce glow up," where women post before-and-after photos celebrating their split. Jacques noted that in these videos, the women "typically look happier and more radiant in the ‘after’ photo."

Citing Louise Perry, author of "The Case Against the Sexual Revolution," Jacques argued that young women are being alienated after getting "burned by hookup culture" and lacking real friendships with the opposite sex.

Jacques argued that, like Perry, returning to marriage, not abandoning men altogether, is the remedy for the cultural divide.

"That won’t be true for everyone, of course," Jacques concluded. "But men and women need to find a way back to each other. Discounting marriage won’t get them there."

When New York City comes second: The problem with an Israel-first mayor

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:00:21 -0400

For a man elected to run New York City, Zohran Mamdani spends a remarkable amount of time thinking about Israel.

Before he has solved the city’s affordability crisis, before New Yorkers feel safer on the subway, before families see cleaner streets, better schools or a government that simply works, the socialist Mamdani has chosen to make the Jewish state and its leader a defining obsession — Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu.

He has publicly declared that he would seek to have Israel’s prime minister arrested if Netanyahu came to New York. Whether or not such a thing could ever happen is beside the point. A New York City mayor has no meaningful role in international criminal law or American foreign policy. Yet this became one of Mamdani’s earliest and most high-profile priorities, and now he admits he doesn't have the legal authority to do so.

MAMDANI SAYS NYC IS EXPLORING WHETHER IT CAN ARREST NETANYAHU IF ISRAELI LEADER VISITS FOR UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Think about that. The mayor of America’s largest city looked across the ocean before looking across his own boroughs. That tells you something. It tells you where his passion lives. It tells you what keeps him up at night, and it tells you that, for all the campaign rhetoric about housing, transit and working families, Israel occupies an extraordinary place in his political imagination.

So, I’m calling him the first MIGA mayor: Make Israel Great Again. The pattern did not begin there.

Among the earliest actions of his new administration was revoking New York City’s adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism. Supporters argued that the definition could chill legitimate criticism of Israel. Critics saw something very different: a city stepping away from one of the world’s most widely used tools for recognizing modern antisemitism at a time when antisemitic incidents continue to rise.

That decision sent a message. Whether intended or not, many Jewish New Yorkers heard it loud and clear.

The administration also rolled back an executive order adopted under Mayor Eric Adams that had sought to prevent city agencies from discriminating against Israel, Israeli citizens and Israel-linked businesses through municipal contracting or procurement.

Again, supporters defended the change. Again, many Jewish New Yorkers saw a familiar pattern. One decision can be explained away. Two decisions become a trend. Three decisions become an agenda.

Then came reports that the administration’s international affairs office had planned a meeting with Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations before the proposal was abandoned. Mamdani later said he had not approved the meeting and called it a mistake. Perhaps. But the contrast was impossible to ignore.

THE US-ISRAEL STRATEGIC ALLIANCE – PARTNERSHIP, NOT CHARITY

An administration willing to explore dialogue with representatives of the Iranian regime while publicly entertaining the arrest of the elected leader of Israel naturally raises questions about its priorities.

None of this exists in isolation. Mamdani proudly identifies with a political movement in which hostility toward Israel has become increasingly central. For years, we have watched the same progression.

Occupy Wall Street, campus BDS campaigns, academic boycotts, the Democratic Socialists of America, the "Squad." Every movement arrives promising economic justice.

Every movement eventually seems to discover that Israel has somehow become one of its defining moral causes. No country receives comparable scrutiny. No democracy is held to quite the same standard. No conflict consumes so much attention.

I know these worlds well. While I now live in Florida, I grew up in Brooklyn Democratic politics, where endorsements mattered, relationships mattered and neighborhood concerns came first.

Later, my professional life became devoted to fighting antisemitism and introducing Americans to the Israel that headlines rarely capture: its innovation, diversity, culture, resilience and humanity. For decades those two worlds barely intersected. Then New York elected Zohran Mamdani. Now they have collided.

Many people were stunned to hear that Jewish voters helped elect him. The reality is more nuanced.

Available exit polling suggests that most Jewish voters supported Andrew Cuomo, not Mamdani. Yet a meaningful minority, particularly younger and more progressive Jews, backed him. Every voter has his or her reasons. Some cared almost exclusively about affordability, some believed municipal politics and Middle East politics should remain separate, and some assumed campaign rhetoric would give way to pragmatic governing.

The first months of this administration suggest otherwise. Israel is not an occasional topic for this mayor. It is a recurring theme. And that matters because New York is home to the largest Jewish community outside Israel.

For millions of New Yorkers, Israel is not an abstract foreign policy debate.

It is family.

It is faith.

It is history.

It is identity.

SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTER

When elected officials repeatedly single out the world’s only Jewish state for exceptional condemnation, many Jews do not experience that as ordinary political disagreement. It’s antisemitism.

They experience it as part of a climate that has made Jewish schools hire more security, synagogues install more barriers and Jewish students wonder whether expressing a connection to Israel will make them targets.

New Yorkers elected a mayor to obsess over New York, over crime, over housing, over sanitation, over schools. Over whether a family can afford to stay in the city.

Instead, they have a mayor who appears to reserve his greatest passion for litigating the legitimacy of a country nearly six thousand miles away. Every mayor leaves a signature. Some build parks, some reduce crime and some transform neighborhoods.

Zohran Mamdani is writing a different legacy. He is becoming the mayor who cannot stop talking about Israel while New Yorkers wait for him to focus on New York.

The Big Apple deserves a mayor whose first priority is the people who elected him. Instead, it has one who seems determined to fight battles far beyond the five boroughs.

Michelin-star chef reveals what's replacing hospital food Americans love to hate

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:00:19 -0400

"Hospital food" has long been synonymous with packaged, ultraprocessed meals — despite the fact that hospitals are meant to promote healing.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital at the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., Michelin-star chef Geoffrey Zakarian shared his initiative to improve what is served in U.S. hospitals, following the concept that "food is medicine."

For the last three years, Zakarian said he’s been working on changing hospital food — most notably at Tampa General, which is a $4 billion nonprofit, 1,000-bed public hospital.

RFK HAILS FIRST US HOSPITAL TO PROMISE HEALTHIER MEALS: 'WE HAVE A TEMPLATE'

On Thursday, July 16, Tampa General Hospital CEO John Couris signed the "Make Hospital Food Healthier" pledge during a news conference attended by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins and Zakarian.

The pledge commits the hospital to serving more nutritious, minimally processed meals to patients, building on Zakarian's menu overhaul.

"We’ve changed the entire menu," the celebrity chef told Fox News Digital. "We've taken all seed oils out, sugar, maltodextrin. Anything bad in a box is gone. Anything good is brought in."

"We're serving mac and cheese. We're serving hanger steak and fries. We're serving chicken with couscous. We do all our protein shakes. No protein shakes in the box anymore. We do fruit shakes, smoothies, fresh sorbet," the chef listed. "So, you're eating like your grandmother's cooking for you."

CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz has also supported Zakarian in this mission, telling Fox News Digital that the chef has "revolutionized our thinking" around hospital food.

"How do we get the hospitals to do what [Zakarian] has been doing the frontier work on, get them to actually embrace food as part of the healing process?" he questioned. "Because most patients, and most doctors, know that the food in the hospital is not going to make you better."

Oz noted that while hospital food may provide some nutrients, it is generally not seen as contributing meaningfully to patients' recovery.

The biggest challenge to getting better food into hospital systems has been cost, Zakarian pointed out.

While "everything is fractionalized," what’s left over after paying for supplies is put toward food, which generally "ain’t much," he said.

"It's, like, $3.50 a person per plate, which is an extraordinarily small amount," the chef said. "You go to McDonald's, and you spend 12 bucks for a happy meal, and we give you $3.50 in a hospital. So that's an unhappy meal as far as I'm concerned."

Instead of charging hospitals for each plate served, Zakarian's approach relies on a flat annual fee, saving money through a smaller, higher-quality menu.

"Yummy food, not just food to fill people up," he said. "Nutritious food, bioavailable food, food that's satiating."

"I'm cooking like I would cook in a restaurant. I'm cooking like my mother cooked for me. There's no difference."

The chef continued, "When you're lying in bed in a hospital gown, you feel alone, you feel exposed, you feel sick … When you have a fresh protein shake or a fresh healthy smoothie, or you can order steak frites ... that [makes] your day."

New FDA moves are boosting American jobs and protecting our medicine supply

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:00:07 -0400

For decades, U.S. policymakers have highlighted the vulnerabilities of relying on foreign supply chains for essential medicines. Yet over 70% of the primary manufacturing facilities for prescriptions filled in the United States remain outside our borders. Over time, a suffocating web of state and federal regulations meant that companies investing millions or billions to build facilities in the U.S. would see those investments sit idle for up to 14 months waiting for standard post-construction reviews. This paralysis has driven supply chains further overseas, hurting the Americans who rely on life-saving cures and treatments.

When critical supply chains are anchored half a world away, American patients are left exposed to dangerous shortages and American workers are stripped of high-paying employment opportunities.

President Donald Trump prioritized solving this problem by signing Executive Order 14293, "Regulatory Relief to Promote Domestic Production of Critical Medicines," directing the FDA to cut red tape, incentivize domestic manufacturing and secure medicines for American patients. The FDA took that directive urgently. Moving into mid-July, we are aggressively executing on multiple fronts to spark a domestic manufacturing renaissance – removing regulatory roadblocks and creating an environment where American production can outcompete the rest of the world.

TRUMP’S DRUG PRICE WAR WITH EUROPE AIMS TO MAKE THINGS CHEAPER FOR AMERICANS

To rev up our domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing base from the ground up, the FDA recently launched the PreCheck Pilot Program. Designed to clear the hurdles that stall new manufacturing facility builds in the U.S., this program is already unleashing a historic wave of domestic job creation, proving we can secure our health while building a powerhouse economy.

The program operates in two distinct phases. In the early Facility Readiness Phase, manufacturers receive technical and regulatory feedback before operations begin, preventing costly compliance mistakes. Next, the Application Submission Phase features enhanced FDA engagement to quickly resolve manufacturing questions, expedite the review of facility information and fast-track inspections.

By identifying potential issues early, the PreCheck program reduces delays, improves regulatory predictability and accelerates the availability of U.S.-manufactured medicines. This ensures next-generation medical breakthroughs are researched, developed and manufactured right here at home by leveraging our greatest resource – the extraordinary talent, grit and might of the American workforce.

Following our selection of the program's first seven corporate participants – including Eli Lilly, Regeneron, Amneal, Cellares, Fujifilm Biotechnologies, Kriya Therapeutics and Kyowa Kirin – the FDA is actively working alongside these innovators as they break ground and scale operations this summer. These companies are building state-of-the-art facilities to manufacture everything from innovative cell and gene therapies to everyday IV bags.

Crucially, these first seven participants alone will anchor thousands of long-term, high-wage careers for American scientists, engineers, technicians and operators, while instantly fueling thousands of jobs across the heartland.

These are the kinds of stable, family-sustaining careers that anchor communities for generations, helping revitalize local economies and ensuring our brightest minds and hardest workers can build prosperous careers right in their home neighborhoods.

TRUMP EXPANDS TRUMPRX PRESCRIPTION DRUG DISCOUNT PROGRAM TO MORE THAN 800 MEDICATIONS

In addition to this pilot, the FDA is moving forward with newly released draft regulations to streamline pathways for distributed manufacturing and provide greater transparency regarding foreign medicine suppliers. We are also reimagining the incentives within our control.

While the FDA is required to prioritize applications based on urgent public health needs, we are now also prioritizing applications for older, generic medicines that utilize domestic supply chains. These lower-cost medicines make up roughly 90% of all prescriptions written in the U.S., yet they are the very drugs most frequently manufactured overseas. Moving production back home means bringing thousands more stable manufacturing jobs to American factories.

When a parent goes to the pharmacy for a child’s antibiotic or a patient fights cancer, they should not have to worry about whether a factory closure overseas will cut off their lifeline. Onshoring pharmaceuticals will require a synchronized effort across HHS, private industry and state and local communities, and it is integral to the health, national security and economic prosperity of the American people.

Securing our factories is only one piece of the puzzle; we must also secure the science that feeds them. Under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Department of Health and Human Services recently launched "Operation TrialBlazer," a historic initiative designed to bring clinical trials back to American soil by modernizing drug development and slashing regulatory burdens. Making the United States the most attractive place to conduct clinical research ensures that laboratory discoveries translate directly into high-tech production jobs on American soil.

Through the PreCheck program, aggressive regulatory reform and domestic prioritization, the FDA is acting as a collaborative catalyst for domestic growth. We are protecting patients, fueling a high-tech economic renaissance and restoring American independence by putting American workers first.
