Dak Prescott's ex Sarah Jane Ramos blasts Craig Carton's cheating take: '$350 million doesn't give you a pass'

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:44:09 -0400

Dak Prescott and ex-fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos' messy split has spiraled into an all-out media war of words with Ramos now taking aim at OutKick host Craig Carton over his defense of the Cowboys quarterback.

Things heated up this week when Ramos caught wind of a recent episode of "The Craig Carton Show" where Craig went off on the messy split, addressing Sarah Jane's claims of infidelity as well as her viral post shutting down pregnancy rumors by declaring she's simply been eating well.

"Like, sweetheart, I think it sucks that you fell in love and didn't see the writing on the wall. You're dating the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. It's his job to cheat on you," Carton observed. "You're not dating a firefighter. You're not dating a plumber. You're dating the most popular guy in the state of Texas."

DAK PRESCOTT'S EX STIFF ARMS PREGNANCY RUMORS BY ACCUSING HIM OF CHEATING & ANNOUNCING SHE'S 'JUST VERY THICK'

Some may say that's harsh, but, you have to give Craig credit for saying what we're all thinking. Needless to say, that didn't sit well with Ms. Ramos who emailed the Carton show Wednesday.

"Craig please!" Sarah Jane, who had two kids with the Cowboys QB, wrote. "Your take was so mean and ridiculous. $350 million [Dak's contract value] doesn't give you a pass on cheating. You're either a weak man or you're not. Get the heck out of here with that nonsense."

"Ugly and weak people cheat because they don't know what to do with the attention," she continued. "Period. The end."

As for any chance of Sarah Jane coming on the show to discuss this matter further, she didn't give a full "no" answer. "You really want me on your show roasting you? I think not," Ramos concluded.

Former CIA officer warns against trusting Russia's account of mysterious death in Siberia

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:42:15 -0400

Glenn Corn, a former CIA officer, told Fox News Digital that Russia’s decades-long history of deception makes it difficult to trust the Kremlin’s account of a possible disease outbreak following the death of a 28-year-old researcher at a facility containing dangerous pathogens.

Darya Shipilova, who worked at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute of Siberia and the Far East, got sick near the end of September.

After unconfirmed reports that Shipilova died from pneumonic plague were shared far and wide on social media, Russian authorities pushed back, saying she died on Oct. 2 from "pneumonia of unknown etiology" and that testing found no evidence she had been infected with a pathogen from her lab.

Yet the Russian government’s past messaging around major crises has left Corn and others wary of its official account.

RUSSIAN RESEARCHER'S MYSTERY DEATH COULD BE ‘FAR WORSE’ THAN THE PLAGUE, FORMER SENIOR TRUMP OFFICIAL WARNS

"This is what the challenge is, because they have the history of the 'boy who cried wolf syndrome.' They have this history of being deceitful. It's very hard to believe what they're saying," Corn said.

Corn, who is fluent in Russian and spent more than 20 years overseas during his intelligence career, gave several examples of elaborate Russian coverups, including the 1979 anthrax outbreak that killed at least 64 people in the Soviet city of Sverdlovsk, now called Yekaterinburg.

For years, the Soviet Union claimed that the deaths were caused by intestinal anthrax from tainted meat, according to PBS Frontline. It wasn't until 1992 that President Boris Yeltsin finally admitted the illnesses were the result of military activity at a nearby biological weapons facility.

This dedication to deception, Corn said, remains a feature of the current government under President Vladimir Putin.

Corn pointed to the Kremlin’s past denials of ties to the Wagner mercenary group, whose murky relationship with the state allowed its fighters to advance Moscow’s interests overseas while Russian officials maintained plausible deniability. Putin later acknowledged that the group had been fully financed by the Russian state.

"This goes to the strategic culture of leadership in Russia...and their fear of the rest of the world, and their belief that they have to deceive everybody because everybody is deceiving them," Corn said.

Corn said this style of narrative control is also characteristic of China, which remains under Communist Party rule, while modern Russia inherited many of the institutions and governing practices of the communist-led Soviet Union.

For example, China faced criticism in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic for withholding or delaying the release of critical information about the emerging virus, which has gone on to kill more than 7 million people globally.

TRUMP NEGOTIATORS WITKOFF, KUSHNER MEET WITH PUTIN IN MOSCOW AS US PUSHES FOR END TO RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR

"In both systems, people are disincentivized to tell the truth when there's a bad story," Corn said. "Nobody wants to actually say that we have a real problem and we need to deal with it because they're afraid that it will cost them their jobs, their lives, their freedom."

With that history in mind, Corn said U.S. officials should not simply take Moscow at its word on Shipilova’s death, but independently verify its claims and closely monitor for any signs of a wider outbreak.

So far, there is no sign that Shipilova’s illness has spread. Russia's health watchdog said Tuesday that 60% of the roughly 200 people quarantined after potentially coming in contact with Shipilova have been released. It added that no cases of plague have been found.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday that the case presented a "very low" risk outside Russia, The Associated Press reported.

That same day, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media that the global health agency is in contact with Russian health authorities and has requested more information "to clarify the cause of the severe pneumonia" that killed Shipilova.

President Donald Trump also told reporters on Tuesday that he has a call scheduled with Putin about the case "very soon," adding that the U.S. is already in "very deep discussions" with Russia.

Mall of America terror plot thwarted, suspected ISIS sympathizer arrested, FBI announces

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:33:54 -0400

An 18-year-old Minnesota man who allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and discussed carrying out a mass shooting at the Mall of America was arrested after buying an AK-47-style rifle, magazines and ammunition from an undercover FBI employee, according to newly filed federal court documents.

Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud had allegedly spent months discussing his desire to carry out an attack, telling an FBI confidential source in September, "I can’t wait until I kill kuffar man. October 24 is the day insha Allah," according to an affidavit filed in federal court in Minnesota.

When the source later asked why he had chosen Oct. 24, Mohamud allegedly pointed to a "Hmong Arts Celebration" at the Mall of America, saying it would have "a lot of people," the affidavit states.

Coco Gauff eliminated from tournament after 'draining' racial commentary, match controversy

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:40:41 -0400

Days after finding herself in the midst of an on-court controversy, followed by responding to a racial slur on social media, Coco Gauff was eliminated in the round of 16 of the China Open.

Gauff dropped her Wednesday match to No. 19 Elise Mertens 6-3, 6-3, and in the midst of the match, she admitted to not being in the right state.

"I have no energy. I’m trying, I have no energy. I can’t see the ball, I feel like I’m going to pass out," Gauff told her camp during the match, according to the New York Post. "I’m going to just try to finish the match."

After the match, Gauff said the aftermath of what had happened earlier in the week had "been kind of draining."

"I'm not going to lie," she said. "I just turn off my phone and move on. There's nothing you can do."

The defeat to a player Gauff had beaten in all five of their previous matchups came days after she had received what she described as an "insane" amount of racist comments on social media following a controversial point in the preceding round.

Gauff stopped a rally after electronic advertising boards lining the court flickered during a point late in the first set of her 7-5, 6-1 third-round victory over Xinran, a 16-year-old who recently won the U.S. Open junior title. Sun appeared about to win the point when Gauff stopped playing, but the chair umpire then ordered the point to be replayed.

Gauff explained what occurred in the moment, but not before replying to a post on X calling her a racial slur.

"hey everyone, you can dislike me or disagree about what happened without being racist. the amount of racist comments/dms I’ve received in the last few hours is insane," Gauff said, adding that she is "not a cheater or a thief."

"It was an unfortunate situation but it is out of my control, the think pieces and calling me an unfair is ridiculous when those are the rules. I did not make them, I think it’s weird i’m getting hate for following the rules," Gauff said in a separate social media post. "Xinran is incredible talent and player, I apologized for the situation at the end of the match and she completely understood."

Against Mertens, Gauff committed 34 unforced errors to Mertens’ 11 and had eight double faults to her opponent’s two. Four of Gauff’s double faults came when she was broken in the final game of the first set.

Israel amb torches Mamdani Oct 7 post: 'Like turning September 11 into a day of mourning for al-Qaeda'

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:36:11 -0400

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his message marking the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, comparing the mayor’s framing of the massacre to "turning September 11 into a day of mourning for al-Qaeda terrorists."

Ambassador Danny Danon accused Mamdani of trying to "hijack" the anniversary after the mayor commemorated the more than 1,100 Israelis killed by Hamas before pivoting to accusations of "genocide," "occupation" and "apartheid" against Israel.

"‘Mamdani-ism’ — an attempt to hijack the anniversary of October 7 and turn it into yet another propaganda attack against Israel," Danon wrote on X in response to the mayor’s post.

MAMDANI FACES GROWING 9/11 BACKLASH AS OLD POST RESURFACES AHEAD OF GROUND ZERO CEREMONY: 'IS THIS REAL?'

"It is like turning September 11 into a day of mourning for al-Qaeda terrorists," he added. "We will not let this happen. We will remember those who were murdered, and we will never forget who was behind this massacre."

Mamdani’s post Wednesday began by calling the anniversary "profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers" and describing the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack as "horrific war crimes."

"On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others," Mamdani wrote. "We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss."

DANNY DANON: FROM OCT 7 TO FLIGHT 1073: THE RESILIENCE THAT KEEPS ISRAEL STANDING

The mayor then turned much of his statement toward the war in Gaza, accusing the Israeli government of carrying out a "devastating, ongoing genocide" and citing a Palestinian death toll of more than 74,000, including more than 21,000 children.

"The suffering did not begin nor end that day," Mamdani wrote.

Mamdani accused Israel of bombing ambulances, targeting residential buildings and journalists with drone strikes and turning away food aid at border crossings. Israel has disputed allegations that it deliberately targets civilians, aid workers and journalists and has rejected accusations of genocide, noting flyers that the Israeli military has sent to Palestinian civilians warning them of attacks in advance and urging them to get to safety.

The mayor also accused the U.S. government of complicity in Israeli "war crimes" through its military support.

"Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment," Mamdani wrote. "To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

MAMDANI FIRES BACK AT NETANYAHU, CALLS ISRAELI LEADER 'ARCHITECT OF HORRIFIC GENOCIDE' AHEAD OF UN VISIT

Danon was not alone in objecting to Mamdani’s framing of the anniversary.

"Disgusting and shameful to use October 7th as an excuse to repeat Hamas’ talking points. The terrorist enemies that seek to destroy us will not prevail. We stand with the Jewish people and we pray for the victims, their families and the survivors," said Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

"Shame on you for trying to blow a kiss and slap Israelis in the face at the same time," posted former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley. "On October 7, Hamas raped, burned, and murdered Israelis and Americans in front of their loved ones. They kidnapped others and tortured them for months. This is antisemitism, no matter how you try to put a bow on it. Israelis have every right to defend themselves. If this happened in the U.S., you can bet we would defend ourselves too."

".@NYCMayor , not once do you say 'Jews.' On Oct. 7, Hamas-led attackers murdered civilians, committed sexual violence, mutilated bodies and took hostages," said Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. "You are weaponizing a day meant for mourning the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust to recycle your usual antizionist talking points. The city with the largest Jewish population outside Israel deserves a mayor who can honor the dead without exploiting them."

Hamas-led terrorists stormed southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing roughly 1,200 people in brutal fashion while livestreaming the atrocities online, and taking 251 hostages. Israelis marked the third anniversary Wednesday with memorials and vigils for those killed and abducted.

Trump is fighting Obamacare fraud. Democrats are defending the numbers

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 05:00:17 -0400

Democrats love double talk. They claim to defend affordable health care while taxpayers finance fraudulent enrollments that harm the very consumers Obamacare was supposed to protect. Right on cue, they turned the Trump administration’s fraud crackdown into cruelty. Chuck Schumer claims the administration is kicking hundreds of thousands of people off their plans, while former Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls fraud enforcement a "false pretext" for stripping away coverage. Before Democrats declare 760,000 people victims of Republican cruelty, they should explain why taxpayers were financing policies that some consumers never requested, used and know existed.

The Trump administration recently announced that CMS canceled approximately 315,000 unauthorized Obamacare enrollments covering more than 760,000 people and expected to recover approximately $2.2 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies. An additional 419,000 enrollments are undergoing eligibility verification. Every taxpayer and every family struggling to afford health insurance should be alarmed. Instead, Rep. Richard Neal, the ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, accused Republicans of "[doubling] down to take [coverage] away entirely," warning that the crackdown would increase medical debt and health care costs without acknowledging the fraudulent enrollment or the $2.2 billion in subsidies the administration expects to recover.

GAO found that Biden-era controls failed to verify consumer consent, restrict broker access or notify patients when plans changed. Complaints involving confirmed unauthorized activity more than quadrupled from 2023 through 2025. Predatory brokers used basic personal information to enroll consumers or switch their plans without permission, changed their contact information to conceal the activity and then collected compensation from insurers. Victims risked losing doctors or medications, paying higher copayments and deductibles or repaying tax credits based on false information.

BOMBSHELL REPORT EXPOSES HEALTHCARE FRAUD SCHEMES AS TAXPAYERS LOSE UP TO $521 BILLION ANNUALLY

Democrats are defending enrollment numbers while President Trump is defending patients and taxpayers. Voters care about both fraud and affordability. A recent KFF Health Tracking Poll found that 51% of registered voters consider health care costs extremely important for candidates to discuss, while 43% say the same about fraud in government health programs. Health care fraud is clearly an affordability issue. Every dollar lost to waste or fraud is a dollar unavailable to lower costs or provide care to a legitimate patient.

President Trump’s fraud crackdown proves that protecting patients, safeguarding taxpayers and making health care affordable are all part of the same fight. Obamacare was sold as affordable health care, but affordability is measured by whether eligible patients knowingly receive coverage at a price they can afford, not by fraudulent enrollment numbers.

Putting the patient first requires the administration to distinguish suspected fraud from legitimate patients caught in an eligibility review because of a missing document, outdated address or administrative error. Anyone wrongly removed should receive clear notice, a reasonable opportunity to verify eligibility and prompt restoration of coverage without losing care. Due process strengthens the crackdown by directing accountability toward fraud brokers who initiated questionable applications, enrolled consumers without consent and then pocketed compensation from unauthorized policies.

MEDICAL IDENTITY THEFT FOLLOWS YOU INTO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

Protecting patients also requires proactively preventing unauthorized activity. Under CMS’s recent anti-fraud safeguards, brokers must reverify their identities and include verifiable Social Security numbers or immigration-document numbers. CMS also announced that electronic consumer authorization would be required before a broker make changed to an application. GAO separately recommended stronger consent controls, including one-time passcodes, restrictions on broker access and notifications of broker activity. GAO also found that dishonest brokers could change consumers’ contact information and that CMS only sent notices to the newly submitted contact. To close that loophole, GAO recommended that CMS should alert both the old and new contacts whenever an email address or telephone number is changed so a dishonest broker cannot conceal unauthorized activity.

President Trump is turning fraud enforcement into affordability policy by protecting patients and ensuring taxpayer dollars pay for legitimate care. Fraud thrives when Washington rewards enrollment without verifying consent or eligibility. Yet Democrats continue to defend the numbers without asking whether consumers authorized the policies or who profited. American families judge health care through whether they can afford premiums, see their doctors and fill their prescriptions. Republicans can win on affordability by following the Trump standard of care: Protect legitimate patients, provide due process and prosecute those who knowingly profited from abuse. Affordable health care begins with authorized coverage and exposing fraud is not cruelty. While Democrats defend fraudulent enrollment, Republicans should defend the patient.

SANDRA SMITH: I walked into Fox News 19 years ago. The people and viewers changed my life

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:21:25 -0400

Nineteen years ago today, I walked through the doors at 1211 and hit the ground running — covering some of the biggest stories of our lifetimes, from the 2008 financial crisis to presidential elections that reshaped the country.

What followed has been an intense, exciting and incredibly rewarding career at Fox News.

I’ve had the privilege of moderating presidential primary debates, conducting the first live interview inside the Vice President’s Ceremonial Office, interviewing Supreme Court justices, presidents, military leaders and Wall Street CEOs, and reporting live from the trading floors of New York and Chicago.

LAUREN GREEN: I WAS FOX NEWS CHANNEL'S FIRST ON-AIR HIRE. HERE'S HOW A DREAM BECAME A POWERHOUSE

I’ve also been fortunate to help launch some great shows — "Outnumbered" in 2014, the relaunch of "America’s Newsroom" in 2018, and "America Reports with John Roberts and Sandra Smith" in 2021.

Today, those shows are a driving force behind Fox News’ No. 1 position in daytime — a testament to the extraordinary teams that show up every day ready to fight for the story.

And somewhere along the way, I took on my most important role of all: becoming a mom, twice. Balancing motherhood and this career has taught me more about discipline, sacrifice and perspective than anything else ever could.

DANA PERINO: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE REMARKABLE PEOPLE WHO MAKE FOX NEWS POSSIBLE

But after 19 years, it’s not the stories or the interviews that stand out most.

It’s the people.

Fox has become a second family. I’m incredibly grateful to Lachlan, Suzanne and Jay for their leadership and for continuing to give me the opportunity to grow, take on new challenges and do work that I genuinely love.

FOX NEWS MEDIA CEO SUZANNE SCOTT INDUCTED INTO BROADCASTING+CABLE HALL OF FAME

And after all these years, what drives me is still the same thing that drove me on day one: the viewers. They deserve someone who is prepared, asks the hard questions and never stops working for them.

Nineteen years in, I’m still here. Still fighting for the story. Still loving the work.

Grocery shoppers may be relying on a 'misleading' clue when choosing healthy foods

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:14:08 -0400

A shorter shelf life may make food seem fresher and healthier, but new research suggests that may be more perception than reality.

A study from the University of British Columbia (UBC) Sauder School of Business in Canada found that many shoppers use a food's shelf life as a shortcut for judging how natural it is, even though longer shelf lives can reflect factors beyond heavy processing.

The team, which included researchers from China, conducted a series of experiments in which participants compared foods with different shelf lives, including potato chips, pasta sauce, mayonnaise and granola bars.

YOUR BRAIN MAY BE TRICKING YOU INTO LIKING ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, STUDY FINDS

Shoppers consistently viewed foods with shorter shelf lives as more natural and healthier, even when the ingredients and nutritional facts were nearly identical or the difference in shelf life was solely due to better packaging.

In the case of the mayonnaise, the only difference between the two products was that one had a better seal, allowing it to stay fresh longer — it was no more processed than the other. Yet participants still viewed the shorter-shelf-life option as more natural.

Even when they were given clear indications that a longer-lasting product just had better packaging, shoppers still used shelf life as a gauge, the researchers found.

JUST ONE SMALL SERVING OF ULTRA-PROCESSED FOOD A DAY LINKED TO HIGHER DISEASE RISK, MAJOR STUDY FINDS

In other experiments, participants rated potato chips with a five-month shelf life as more natural and healthier than nearly identical chips with a nine-month shelf life.

Nearly 70% of participants selected a pasta sauce with a one-year shelf life when they were encouraged to prioritize natural foods.

That figure dropped to 43% when the emphasis shifted to reducing food waste and protecting the environment, as the researchers found that participants also associated longer shelf life with less waste because items wouldn't go bad as quickly.

The findings, published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology earlier this year, suggest shoppers often use shelf life as a "mental shortcut" when making purchasing decisions, researchers said.

AMERICANS ARE DITCHING ULTRA-PROCESSED SNACKS FOR AN ANCIENT FRUIT THAT'S EXPLODING IN POPULARITY

"Our research shows consumers are using shelf life as a shortcut for judging whether foods are natural," co-author Yann Cornil, an associate professor at UBC Sauder, told Fox News Digital.

"It sometimes can be diagnostic, but shelf life is also very much dependent on the quality of the packaging, which has nothing to do with food naturalness."

Cornil added that the shortcut can be "misleading."

THIS AMOUNT OF DELI MEAT ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER DEMENTIA RISK IN COMPELLING NEW REVIEW

Packaging has improved dramatically, he noted, just like refrigeration did 60 years ago, to improve food preservation.

The tendency to equate a shorter shelf life with less processing may have unintended consequences, according to the researchers. Buyers may therefore skip products that are just as healthy while choosing items that are more likely to spoil before they can be eaten.

Products like canned beans, frozen fruits and vegetables and dried oats can stay fresh for months or even years thanks to preservation methods and packaging rather than added ingredients.

"A shorter shelf life does not automatically mean a food is healthier," Kelly Springer, a New York-based registered dietitian and founder and CEO of Kelly's Choice, told Fox News Digital. "Better seals, oxygen barriers and moisture-control packaging help foods stay fresh longer while maintaining quality and safety."

Springer pointed to some packaged items such as guacamole, which can have a longer refrigerated shelf life because of high-pressure processing and packaging technology rather than added preservatives, yet are still healthy choices.

Other items such as milk, yogurt and kefir can stay fresh longer due to pasteurization and fermentation — not necessarily added ingredients.

"Don't judge a food by its shelf life," Springer, who was not involved in the research, added. "Turn the package over, read the nutrition label and make decisions based on what's inside."

She recommends consumers focus on fiber, protein, added sugar and sodium rather than the expiration date alone.

Cornil added that saturated fat content can also be problematic.

"Too many ingredients, in particular ingredients [such as] additives and preservatives that you can't recognize, or can't even pronounce, may be a signal of too much processing and unhealthiness," Cornil said. "It's not always true, but I would say that it is more diagnostic than shelf life information."

The findings are especially relevant as many seek to reduce how much ultra-processed food they eat. Roughly 55% of Americans' daily caloric intake is from ultra-processed foods, the researchers noted.

DHS unloads on teachers union boss over 'dangerous rhetoric' and anti-ICE activism

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:12:17 -0400

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten drew backlash Wednesday after filming a video from a field near Newark’s Delaney Hall migrant detention facility, where she decried alleged conditions inside.

Weingarten’s video, filmed within view of the facility, comes as school-choice advocates have criticized her political activism while student academic performance remains below pre-pandemic levels — with one critic recently summing up the contrast as a desire to "dictate … policy on immigration while its own members’ students struggle with basic skills."

"Dangerous rhetoric from politicians and activists demonizing our brave ICE officers has led to the over 8,000% increase in threats against DHS law enforcement who are heroically performing their congressionally mandated mission to remove criminal illegal aliens from communities across the country," a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital when asked about Weingarten’s visit.

"Any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE detention facilities is false," the agency said.

ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS CLASH WITH AGENTS OUTSIDE NEW JERSEY DETENTION CENTER AS GOV SHERRILL DENIED ENTRY

Fox News Digital reached out to Weingarten through AFT for comment. In her video, Weingarten disputed DHS’ characterization of conditions at the facility:

"This is one of the most despicable things that our current government does," Weingarten said as she was filmed pointing and gesticulating toward Delaney Hall.

"They put people — people have not committed any crimes — they are immigrants. They deport them, or they … detain them and deport them in conditions that are unimaginable."

Weingarten, who grew up about 40 miles north of New York City in Nyack, New York, said her grandparents came to the U.S. seeking a better life, drawing a comparison to migrants detained at Delaney Hall.

"We saw families coming out [of Delaney] who had just visited their loved ones… They work hard. They play by the rules. They should not be detained or deported because we have a broken immigration system," she claimed. "We should fix the immigration system, but the cruelty of this government right now is terrible."

DHS said in response to Weingarten that its mission remains "straightforward" — enforcing laws on the books and protecting America’s national security.

"Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now," the DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

INSPECTION OF DELANEY HALL ICE FACILITY CONTRADICTS CLAIMS IN NEW JERSEY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S LAWSUIT

School-choice advocate Corey DeAngelis responded to Weingarten’s video by arguing that the union leader wants more illegal immigrants enrolled in public schools because their enrollment increases taxpayer funding.

"It's time to overturn Plyler v Doe and stop forcing taxpayers to fund education for illegals," DeAngelis tweeted, referencing a 1982 Supreme Court case wherein Eisenhower-appointed Justice William Brennan Jr. ruled for the majority that Texas could not deny undocumented school-age children access to free public education.

A 2026 Annie E. Casey Foundation analysis found that 47 states fared worse on its education index in 2024 than in 2019, with national declines in math proficiency, reading proficiency and preschool attendance. Weingarten has led AFT since 2008. She previously led New York City’s UFT from 1998 to 2009.

DeAngelis previously criticized Weingarten after she encouraged a boycott of Target over the Minnesota-based retailer’s response to ICE operations. DeAngelis wrote for the Heritage Foundation that AFT "wants to dictate corporate policy on immigration while its own members’ students struggle with basic skills. That mismatch should alarm every taxpayer and parent."

WATCH: WEINGARTEN GESTURES WILDLY DURING ANTI-TRUMP RANT, LATER SAYS HE DRIVES HER TO DRINK

The clip of Weingarten drew criticism on X, including from users who argued that the teachers union leader was straying beyond education policy and into the immigration debate.

Other critics shared photos of Weingarten promoting her book "Why Fascists Fear Teachers."

"This is wild. Randi Weingarten is bad enough in her education related field (power, indoctrination, control) but now she is expanding into immigration," another wrote.

The clash comes as Weingarten and AFT have become increasingly involved in immigration fights beyond the classroom, including pressuring Target over ICE operations. Critics have pointed to persistent academic setbacks as evidence the union’s leadership should be focused on education, while AFT describes political activism and broader civil-rights advocacy as part of its mission alongside public education.

Fox News Digital also reached out to the Department of Education for comment.

Super Bowl LXI will stream on Disney+ alongside ABC and ESPN broadcast from Los Angeles

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:10:30 -0400

With ESPN set to broadcast its first Super Bowl, its parent company is making yet another big move for the big game.

Along with ABC, which will air the game for the first time since Super Bowl XL in 2006, it was announced Wednesday that the game will be streamed on Disney+.

The streaming option means that Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles will now be available in more than 55 international markets.

This will be the fourth consecutive year a Super Bowl will be available on a streaming service, beginning with Super Bowl LVIII, as the CBS broadcast was also available on Paramount+.

The following year's Super Bowl was streamed on Tubi, owned by Fox, and last year's NBC game was available on Peacock.

The Walt Disney Company also announced that two "Monday Night Football" games will be available through the service: a Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys bout on Oct. 26 and a second game to be announced. Those games will still be available on ESPN and ABC.

SAINTS STAR QUARTERBACK TYLER SHOUGH REACTS TO FANS' BOOS AFTER DISMAL PRIME-TIME PERFORMANCE VS FALCONS

ESPN was awarded this season's game in 2021 as part of the NFL's new media rights deal that added the network to the existing rotation of Fox, CBS and NBC.

The Super Bowl will be Joe Buck's and Troy Aikman's return to the booth for the NFL's championship, last calling the game in 2020 when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers for Fox.

The game will be played on Valentine's Day.

The Athletic column urging Indiana Fever to part ways with Sophie Cunningham draws widespread criticism

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:06:42 -0400

The phrase "80-20 issue" is thrown out quite a bit in spaces such as these. But Tuesday, a 95-5 issue seems to have emerged.

The 95% in this case? The people on the internet bashing a piece from The Athletic that attacked WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham.

Columnist Candace Buckner argued that the soon-to-be free agent was a "combustible" figure whose "turbulent" opinions were a distraction to the Indiana Fever. Never mind that Cunningham's most publicized stance — that biological males shouldn't compete in female sports — is shared by the vast majority of the country.

SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SENDS MESSAGE TO HER HATERS AFTER SAYING MEN DON'T BELONG IN WOMEN'S SPORTS

Buckner's conclusion? That the Fever must part ways with Sophie so that they "can go back to being a basketball team." This sparked the public to break out their drivers.

Among the most prominent critics teeing off was nine-time Wimbledon winner Martina Navratilova, a staunch advocate of keeping men out of women's spaces. Said the tennis legend on X: "Buckner seems to forget the W in @WNBA stand for women. There was nothing wrong with what Sophie said originally. It’s the response from WNBA that made it blow up. The policy is the problem, not Sophie Cunningham."

This is hard to deny. The "circus" Buckner says surrounds Cunningham wouldn't exist if the WNBA could simply define what a woman is. Doing so would have kept former NBA players such as Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White from declaring their intent to enter the WNBA Draft. But the W doesn't want to have that discussion. Its leaders are too afraid of the internal blowback. They opt for the more widespread external blowback instead.

Another Buckner critic was podcast host Stephen L. Miller, who focused less on the trans issue and more on the media's hypocrisy. Mocking the Athletic's post on X, Miller wrote: "If the San Francisco 49ers want to go back to being a football team, Colin Kaepernick has to go."

KAEPERNICK TELLS 'THE VIEW' THAT NFL OWNERS KEPT HIM OUT OVER POLITICS AND POWER, CLAIMS THEY DONATE TO TRUMP

Yes. I can make a Namath-esque guarantee that nobody in media decrying Cunningham as a distraction had that same energy for Kaepernick 10 years ago. Forget that Kaepernick made a conscious decision to enter the political fray whereas Sophie simply answered a question about trans athletes in an ESPN interview. The problem for media pundits isn't that Cunningham has "big opinions," as Buckner said — it's that she has the wrong opinions.

But the disdain players and critics have for Sophie is often projected onto her fans as well. There seems to be this idea that Fever supporters are these backward hillbillies filled with hate because they back players embraced in conservative circles. So, you'll get players such as Angel Reese claiming that they heard racist comments from attendees in Indiana, or Brittney Griner saying that the league's "new fans" shouted racial slurs at her.

Except, there hasn't been an ounce of evidence that any of this "hate" it taking place in real time. Which led to this rather on-the-nose post from the X account Veritas Explorer, which wrote "The real story was the anti-Fever, racist media campaign led by Jussie Smollett."

SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SEES SUPPORT SURGE AFTER STAR PUTS CAREER ON LINE FOR GIRLS SPORTS

All in all there were 1.3K comments on The Athletic's tweet linking to Buckner's column against 1.1K likes. That's a standard "ratio" — as the repulsed replies flooded in. What was interesting is that Buckner didn't tweet the column out on her personal account, which she often does. She likely knew what kind of reaction awaited her.

To be fair, though, this is X — whose political tenor has shifted rightward since Elon Musk bought the platform four years ago. So maybe the readers over at The Athletic/New York Times were digging the take? Eh...not so much.

THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!

The most "liked" comment (by far) under her column read as follows.

"Hold up. I clicked on this article because I wanted to see the basketball reasons why they should trade Cunningham. Turns out there are none, and the issue is because of off the court issues with something she said. And that is just stupid. I currently live in a city with a football team that employs Deshaun Watson, someone who is far far more destructive to the dignity of women and yet he plays and we don’t get constant columns how he should be. The WNBA should be about the top level of Women’s Basketball. Not the top level of women’s basketball who happen to agree with you. That alone will harm this league more than anything."

The second-most "liked" comment was more succinct.

"Candace had this one in the drafts for 6 months lol. Sophie did nothing wrong."

No, she did not. She stood up for what she believed in. And in the wake of this Buckner column, the public stood behind her.

Christen Goff drops 'game day archives' to remind everyone that the Lions quarterback is going to be just fine

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:50:19 -0400

Trust me, Christen Goff would have much rather done a victory Monday post following the Detroit Lions game on Sunday Night Football. Unfortunately for her, the defense let her, her husband Jared and the rest of the team down.

Simply put, they couldn’t stop Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers offense. So she regrouped like the veteran that she is and instead waited until Tuesday to share her "Game day archives."

Victory Mondays are easy. Coming in hot on a Tuesday with a reminder that the season is long, it's by no means over, and that whatever happens the Lions quarterback is going to be just fine requires focus and discipline.

THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!

Christen had no problem flushing the loss in primetime. She turned the page with an impressive attention to detail and focus. This is what it's like to watch someone in their prime feel comfortable in the pocket.

Now there's no excuse for Jared. So he went 32-of-52 for 412 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. He has to show up and put up numbers this weekend in Arizona as the Lions take on a 1-3 Cardinals team.

He can't overlook any opponent. He can't take any drives off.

NFL WEEK 4 SUNDAY TAKEAWAYS: COWBOYS GET SEASON-DEFINING WIN OVER TEXANS, 49ERS ARE LEAGUE'S BEST TEAM

Jared has to stay focused on doing what he can do with the ball in his hands to help his team win. If you didn’t get that from Christen's Instagram post, I don’t know what you're looking at.

There's a lot going on in each of these pictures she's included. But the overall message is as clear to me as any message I've ever seen.

At 2-2 heading into Week 5, the Detroit Lions are right in the middle of it in the NFC. Now isn’t the time to lose focus.

Sometimes you need a kick in the pants from the quarterback's model wife to remind you of that. Consider this that kick in the pants for the Lions.

Bassmaster pro Cooper Gallant says bass fishing is actually more fun without LiveScope sonar

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:47:09 -0400

There's no more divisive piece of equipment in bass fishing than forward-facing sonar.

Depending on whom you ask, technology like Garmin LiveScope is either one of the greatest tools ever handed to an angler or the thing that's sucking the fun and skill out of fishing.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS

Cooper Gallant sees both sides.

The Bassmaster Elite Series pro certainly isn't anti-technology. He uses LiveScope, knows how valuable it can be and understands that, at his level, refusing to adapt isn't really an option.

But is fishing actually more fun without it?

Yeah, maybe.

B.A.S.S. flips a coin to determine LiveScope use in 2027

The timing of Gallant's comments is especially interesting now that we know exactly when Elite Series anglers will — and won't — have access to the technology next season.

B.A.S.S. revealed the results of its 2027 live-sonar coin flips Tuesday, and perhaps the most intriguing result is Lake St. Clair. When the Elite Series visits the famed smallmouth fishery Aug. 5-8, forward-facing sonar will be prohibited.

That's notable because St. Clair has become closely associated with the electronics-driven techniques that have transformed modern smallmouth fishing. It'll also be the eighth event of the season, with Angler of the Year points and Bassmaster Classic qualification increasingly important.

The coin also determined that live sonar will be allowed at the 2027 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Hartwell, while the 2028 Classic will be contested without it.

Gallant will have to compete under both sets of rules next season. And while he's certainly not giving up his electronics when they're allowed, he admitted there's something to be said for fishing without them.

Cooper Gallant says fishing can be more fun without LiveScope

Gallant gave me a crash course in LiveScope while we were fishing Table Rock Lake in Missouri last week.

Watch the full video here:

For those who don't know, forward-facing sonar allows anglers to see what's happening beneath the water in real time. Instead of simply casting toward a promising spot and hoping there's a fish hanging around, an angler can use the technology to locate fish and even watch how they react to a lure.

"This transducer basically shoots wherever my trolling motor is facing," Gallant explained. "I have it set at 120 feet, so I can see 120 feet out in front of me."

Fish, trees, rocks — whatever is down there, he can see it. And, more importantly, he can see what the fish does next.

"You can see your bait, you can see the fish react to your bait," he said. "It's all in real time."

That's obviously incredibly useful when you're trying to make a living catching bass. It's also a heck of a time-saver.

Of course, not every tournament allows LiveScope. So I asked Gallant whether fishing without all that technology feels like a welcome challenge or a daunting task.

Turns out, he actually enjoys it.

"I think sometimes without it, it’s more fun," Gallant said. "There’s more unknown. You don’t know if there’s a fish there, and when you get a bite, it’s more of a surprise."

That's a pretty interesting admission from someone who competes at the highest level of a sport that has spent the past several years arguing about this exact technology.

Without LiveScope, you might know you're fishing a good-looking spot. You might have a pretty good idea there are bass nearby. But you don't get to watch the whole thing unfold on a screen before the bite ever happens.

Gallant isn't saying he'd throw his electronics overboard. Far from it.

"It's incredible technology," he said.

He's simply acknowledging something plenty of recreational anglers probably understand. The most efficient way to catch a fish isn't necessarily the most fun way to catch one.

Sometimes there's something to be said for chucking a lure into the water and having absolutely no idea what's about to happen.

LiveScope isn't going anywhere in professional bass fishing

Of course, Gallant doesn't have the luxury of approaching every day on the water like a casual Sunday fishing trip with a novice like me.

For professional anglers, technology is part of the job.

And when I asked him about some veteran anglers' reluctance to embrace forward-facing sonar, he was sympathetic — to a point.

"I think the older generation, they're just hesitant to learn it," Gallant said. "But it's just like anything. The sport evolves."

And so does the technology.

Gallant said younger anglers may have an advantage simply because many of them grew up learning to fish with advanced electronics. But for anyone trying to compete at the highest level, ignoring that evolution isn't much of an option.

"You have to learn it, or you're going to get left behind," he said.

That's not a new position for Gallant, either. Before the 2025 Elite Series season, he wrote for Bassmaster that professional anglers had to adopt forward-facing sonar when LiveScope arrived to avoid falling behind their competition.

Still, B.A.S.S. has spent the past year experimenting with what competition looks like when anglers don't have access to it.

COOPER GALLANT SLEPT IN HIS TRUCK FOR YEARS CHASING PRO FISHING DREAM: 'I DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN B'

In 2026, the organization introduced a split format for the Elite Series, with forward-facing sonar permitted at five of nine regular-season tournaments and prohibited at the other four. Lake Guntersville, where FFS was prohibited, became the most-watched Elite event of the regular season with more than 21 million minutes viewed across B.A.S.S. digital platforms. The St. Lawrence River finale, where anglers could use FFS, was second with more than 20 million minutes viewed.

B.A.S.S. apparently liked the balance.

The organization announced last month that the 50/50 format will return for 2027, with Tuesday's coin flip determining which events land on which side. For the first time, the Bassmaster Classic is getting the same treatment: One flip will determine whether forward-facing sonar is allowed at the 2027 Classic, with the opposite rules automatically applying in 2028.

Now we know how that split will look in 2027.

Live sonar will be permitted at Lake Okeechobee, Lake Fork, Santee Cooper Lakes, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the Mississippi River. It will be prohibited at Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, the Sabine River, Lake Seminole and Lake St. Clair.

And for the first time, the Classic will join the experiment. Live sonar will be allowed at the 2027 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Hartwell, while the technology will be banned at the 2028 Classic, regardless of where that tournament is ultimately held.

It's an interesting compromise for a sport still figuring out exactly how much technology it wants at its highest level.

And Gallant's perspective might be a pretty good summary of the whole debate.

LiveScope can make you more efficient. It can show you fish you might never have known were there. At the professional level, learning how to use it can be the difference between keeping up and getting left behind.

But take it away?

And hey, you might just have a little more fun.

New Jersey Sports Betting Laws and Timeline

After years of legal battles with the Supreme Court, New Jersey led the way with the unanimous passing of Bill A 4111 on June 7, 2018. On June 11th of the same year, Governor Phil Murphy signed the bill into law. Retail sportsbooks were ready to go weeks later. Roughly a month later, the Division of Gaming Enforcement authorized licensed operators to roll out online and mobile sports betting. Since then, New Jersey has opened and approved over a dozen sports betting apps.

Teams and Markets to Bet On in New Jersey

New Jersey has plenty of professional sports teams to wager on or against. The New Jersey Devils are probably the most associated with New Jersey considering it is in their name. Technically, the Giants and Jets — both tagged as New York — play in New Jersey. There are college teams that you can enjoy, including Seton Hall, Princeton, and Rutgers, among others, but you cannot bet on their games in the state.

College Sports Betting Rules in New Jersey

New Jersey has regulations for betting on sports teams, including that you cannot wager on or against in-state teams. You also cannot bet on any game that is played within New Jersey, regardless of who participates in the game. However, there is one exception — if the game is part of a large tournament like March Madness and plays in New Jersey, you can wager on it. Additionally, player props are allowed, but there is a bill proposing to ban them.

Rubio sounds campaign-ready as he rails against open borders, globalism in speech from ancient Greek ruins

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 09:09:54 -0400

Secretary of State Marco Rubio took aim at open borders and globalism Wednesday in a sweeping speech in Athens, Greece that at times sounded more like a campaign stump speech than a foreign policy address.

"We opened our borders and outsourced our industry and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay," Rubio said against the backdrop of the sun setting on the ancient citadel in Athens.

"The word nationalism became a dirty word. And so we tore down our monuments, we condemned our own history, and in too many places we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit," he continued. "And with every passing year, we seemed to outsource more of our sovereignty, transferring our decisions to global bureaucracies far beyond the reach of our control."

Rubio and Vice President JD Vance have both been widely discussed as potential successors to Trump in 2028, with the president himself repeatedly fueling speculation over which of the two could inherit his political mantle.

Rubio argued the consequences were now playing out in an increasingly dangerous world.

TRUMP’S COUNTERTERRORISM STRATEGY SCORES BIG WINS AGAINST GLOBAL TERROR THREATS

"As the West's confidence faltered, its adversaries and rivals only grew more assertive," he said.

Rubio called the current moment an "inflection point," warning that the threats facing the West are "every bit as real as they were during antiquity."

"And now there is war again. There is competition between great powers again," he said.

Rubio singled out Iran as he drew a sharp distinction between Western values and those of its adversaries.

"Fanatics like the radical mullahs of Iran, whose cult of death hails child suicide bombers as national heroes and portrays martyrdom as an end to itself," Rubio said.

"Our heroes may be willing to die for their cause, but our heroes do not worship death," he went on. "It is precisely because we value life, that we come to recognize the heroism in those who would sooner sacrifice it than to betray their principles."

The secretary of State delivered the address from the Acropolis, using the birthplace of Western civilization to trace America's own inheritance from Ancient Greece.

"For twenty-five centuries since, the Parthenon has stood. Empires have risen and fallen beneath its shadow," Rubio said.

"Two and a half centuries after the founding of the American republic halfway across the world from where I stand now, I stand here today – as the Secretary of State of that republic, and as the great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain – I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space, can ever extinguish."

Rubio said he saw signs that Europe was beginning to reverse the trends he described.

"We believe that Europe can awaken from its long slumber and rekindle the fire that was lit here millennia ago," Rubio said. "There are already signs. Across this continent, we are witnessing the beginning of what we hope will be a generational shift."

During his visit, Rubio announced a new counterterrorism partnership between the U.S. and Greece.

He emphasized the strategic importance of Greece on Wednesday, calling it a "source of stability in an unstable world."

"As you see a world that faces these destabilizing events, you recognize how important this alliance with Greece is to the United States," Rubio said. "It is a source of stability in an unstable world."

At the Munich Security Conference in Germany in February, Rubio delivered a speech on the topic that earned him a standing ovation from European leaders, and racked up millions of views online. One popular X user described it as "one of the greatest" speeches by a Secretary of State in decades.

Many others insisted the speech upped Rubio's potential 2028 presidential chances.

AS AMERICA MARKS 250 YEARS, OUR GREATEST CHAPTERS ARE STILL AHEAD OF US

Rubio described the five centuries before the end of World War II, a time when the West had expanded across the globe, building "vast empires." But, he said, after the war, Europe was in ruins, and "godless communist revolutions" in Europe caused people to believe that the West's dominance was forever finished.

"Against that backdrop, then, as now, many came to believe that the West's age of dominance had come to an end, and that our future was destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past. But together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and it was a choice they refused to make," he said.

Rubio urged the European leaders to reinvigorate that spirit.

"This is why we do not want out allies to be shackled by guilt and shame," he continued. "We want allies that are proud of our culture and our heritage, and understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization and who together with us, are willing and able to defend it."

"And this is why we don't want allies to rationalize the broken status quo, rather than what is necessary to reckon with what is necessary to fix it. For we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline. We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history."

Nolan Wells' friends sue Terrell Owens for defamation after he demanded their arrests

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:10:35 -0400

Three friends of Nolan Wells, the college student who disappeared from a Fourth of July celebration on a Mississippi island and was later found dead, have sued former NFL star Terrell Owens for defamation.

The friends — Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo and Morgan Seymour — accused the Hall of Fame wide receiver of defaming them after he posted on X: "ARREST THEM IMMEDIATELY!!"

The fathers of the three friends filed the federal lawsuit on their sons' behalf Monday. All three are under 21, making them minors under Mississippi law.

Hudson, Pitalo and Seymour were among a large group of friends who traveled by boat with 18-year-old Wells to Horn Island on the Fourth of July. The three all said Wells did not return to mainland Mississippi with the group because he was talking to a girl, an account his family has disputed. Wells' body was found two days later off the island's coast.

NOLAN WELLS' FRIENDS CLEARED BY GRAND JURY AS THEIR LAWYERS VOW TO HOLD ONLINE ACCUSERS ACCOUNTABLE

Images showing Wells, who was Black, with his white friends before his disappearance circulated widely online, with some social media users viewing the circumstances surrounding his death through a racial lens and directing suspicion toward his friends.

Owens joined the public criticism in a Sept. 26 post that remains online. The post links to an Instagram reel by content creator Trent Out Loud that accused the three young men of deleting Snapchat messages from Wells' phone after his death while also suggesting they may have been responsible for killing him.

However, Andrew Garrett, a digital forensics expert hired by attorney Benjamin Crump, examined Wells' phone and concluded that no one accessed it between 2:18 p.m. on July 4, when Wells last unlocked it, and 3:14 a.m. on July 5, when his parents gained access to the device.

Garrett also clarified that Snapchat messages can disappear from a recipient's phone when they are remotely deleted by the person who sent them.

'THE WIND AND DRIFT PATTERNS TELL A STORY,' CAJUN NAVY OFFICIAL SAYS OF MISSING MISSISSIPPI TEEN FOUND DEAD

In the lawsuit, the friends say Owens, 52, circulated a false narrative about them and accused them of crimes they did not commit.

"The Defamatory X Post also placed Warren, Jax, and Morgan before Owens’ audience in a false light, as murderers and participants in a murder coverup who had escaped justice," according to the lawsuit. "There was absolutely no evidence to prompt an arrest of the Plaintiffs because they had done nothing wrong, and there was no probable cause to arrest Plaintiffs because they had not committed a crime."

Owens and SMAC Entertainment, which lists him as a client on its website, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.

GOVERNOR BLAMES ACTIVISTS IN NOLAN WELLS CASE FOR ‘STOKING DIVISION,’ OFFICIAL SAYS FBI PROBING THREATS

On Sept. 22, days before Owens' post, a grand jury said Wells' death was "consistent with drowning" and declined to recommend charges against anyone.

The grand jury did note that the state's autopsy report, which has not been made public, and an independent autopsy commissioned by the family found that Wells had bruising on the back of his head.

The family's forensic pathologist, Roger A. Mitchell Jr., classified Wells' death as "undetermined," saying he could not rule out non-accidental factors because Wells did not appear too intoxicated to swim and had "apparent acute blunt force injuries to the head and body prior to his death."

On Monday, Wells' family called for a federal investigation into his death following the grand jury decision.

"Our son was found on federal ⁠land and we are asking the FBI to step in and do a full investigation," said Elmore Wonsley, Wells' father.

Imperiled House Democrat gets ripped by left and right after flip-flop on transgender sports

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:10:30 -0400

One of the most vulnerable House Democrats of the 2026 election cycle is being hammered from the left and right for her stance on transgender youth.

Longtime Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, is facing one of her toughest re-election battles yet, partially thanks to Buckeye State Republicans redrawing the boundaries of her district to include more GOP voters.

In what appears to be an appeal to those voters, Kaptur recently sent out mailers touting her opposition to biological males playing on girls' school sports teams. "Unlike the far left, I believe boys shouldn't play girls' sports," the mailed campaign ad, obtained by Fox News Digital, said.

The other side touted that Kaptur "voted to ban schools from touting gender ideology in classrooms."

VULNERABLE DEMOCRATS FLIP ON WOMEN'S SPORTS VOTE AFTER OPPOSING SIMILAR BILLS AS MIDTERMS LOOM

The moderate Ohio Democrat was referring to her vote in May of this year in favor of the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, which would condition federal funding to public elementary and middle schools on those schools obtaining parents' permission before any sex or gender accommodations for students are made.

POWERFUL LGBTQ+ GROUP'S ENDORSEMENTS COULD TANK VULNERABLE DEMS OVER RADICAL YOUTH TRANS AGENDA

She also referenced that vote in a campaign ad, in which she said, "I voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools, because parents know best for their kids. And boys should not play in girls' sports."

House Republicans' campaign arm pointed out, however, that Kaptur is also a supporter of the Equality Act. That bill, introduced in April 2025, includes language to prohibit public schools from discriminating based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Kaptur is a co-sponsor of the bill.

VULNERABLE DEM'S CAMPAIGN PITCH CLASHES WITH 'RADICAL' VOTING RECORD ON TOP CULTURE WAR ISSUE

She also voted against the GOP-led Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in April 2023 and January 2025. The former instance received no Democratic support, while two Democrats voted with Republicans on the bill last year.

"Lies from desperate Democrat Marcy Kaptur can't erase her radical record. Kaptur is in damage control, and she must remove herself as a co-sponsor of the Equality Act and disavow her previous votes or remove her lies from the airwaves," National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Zach Bannon told Fox News Digital.

That stance is creating political headaches for Kaptur on the other side of the aisle, as well.

Ohio progressives are accusing Kaptur of throwing transgender kids under the bus to score electoral points. LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Ohio graded Kaptur a "D" for having "recently released anti-trans ads."

Lucas County Stonewall Democrats wrote in an open letter to Kaptur, "Shame on you and your campaign staff for pushing this incredibly harmful anti-Trans rhetoric."

And an opinion piece in the Buckeye Flame, an LGBTQ news site, stated, "[A]s a 27-year-old working journalist who challenges oppression and interrogates transphobia daily, I am embarrassed at Rep. Kaptur’s name on my resume. So much so that I removed it."

Kaptur has survived prior redistricting bids by Republicans to serve her Toledo-area district for over four decades.

But in an election cycle where turning out the base matters to both sides, it's not clear what kind of effect her position on the issue will have. Fox News Digital reached out to Kaptur's campaign but did not receive a response.

New Hampshire fishermen smash state record by snagging insane 1,116-pound bluefin tuna

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:08:31 -0400

About a month ago, I wrote a story about a record-breaking bluefin tuna caught off the coast of San Diego.

That monster weighed in at nearly 500 pounds and probably could have fed a small village.

Now imagine you caught another fish the same size and combined them. You would still be more than 100 pounds short of the absolute mammoth that was reeled in off the coast of New England this past weekend.

NORTH CAROLINA ANGLER CATCHES 212-POUND BLUEFIN TUNA WHILE RIDING A JET SKI OFF THE OUTER BANKS

According to local ABC affiliate WMUR9, fisherman Brandon McGirl boarded the "Out of Line" of Savage Charters NH with Captain Jamie Savage on Saturday, not expecting anything out of the ordinary.

"It was very difficult conditions to try and fish. It was a little bit rougher than we were hoping for," McGirl said.

Just as they were about to call it a night, they heard the all too familiar sound of their reels whirring.

Then, it was game on.

According to McGirl and Savage, they chased the tuna for over a mile, but dragging the bad boy into the boat might have been the hardest part of the night.

"We lifted it out of the water and immediately knew it was way bigger than what we thought and bigger than anything either of us had seen before," Capt. Savage said.

The final number was staggering: 1,116 pounds, over 150 pounds heavier than the previous New Hampshire record holder caught back in 2013.

"If you tuna fish for long time, to catch a 1,000-pound fish, is, I mean, it's something that you dream of," McGirl said.

The pictures, provided courtesy of Capt. Savage, are almost too insane to believe.

Both men in the shot are dwarfed by the bluefin, and the fish is so big it hardly fits in the boat.

The New York Jets shared an odd post on social media during the team’s Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and it left sports radio legend Mike Francesa just as confused as anyone else.

The Jets’ social media hyped up running back Braelon Allen’s 26 rushing yards on four consecutive attempts to start the second half. New York, at that point, was down 13-3.

Francesa appeared on NBC Sports’ "Fanta in 60" and was asked about the post. First, he didn’t think it was real.

"I’m not familiar with this. You’re saying the Jets themselves … Now, I don’t know if that’s real or not. In this day and age, we don’t know what’s real or what’s not. That’s a big problem in every part of news, including sports," Francesa said. "But if it is real and that’s the first I’ve seen of it, let me just explain one thing to you as someone who has been around the Jets, viewed the Jets, and know the Jets very well – the Jets can screw up a one-car funeral.

"They are a mess. They are terribly run – from the owner on down. So, nothing they would do that is stupid would ever surprise me. The bottom line is, and I don’t know if that’s real. … I don’t know how you verify it, but if it is real, OK, in this day and age, because of what we’re living through, we don’t know what’s real and what’s not real and that’s a big problem, but if it is, nothing they would do would ever surprise me."

The post is real and was still up on X as of Wednesday. It appears we are long gone from the Jets and the New York Giants celebrating being 1-0 together for the first time in a dog’s age.

Jubilation from the Jets after ending their interception drought quickly went downhill.

The Bears held the ball for 42 minutes and 15 seconds. The Jets only had the ball for 17 minutes and 15 seconds. Chicago ran 89 plays to New York’s 32. Chicago linebacker Devin Bush even said it was one of the "easiest" games he ever played in the NFL.
