UConn women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma put the NCAA on blast.The 72-year-old coach took umbrage with the NCAA for not consulting the players or coaches before making changes to the tournament’s format. The NCAA shifted from a four-site regional to a two-site regional in 2023, which Auriemma said has created issues for shootaround times and quality of play."I just don't understand some of the decisions that are made about our game when we're trying to grow the god---- game," Auriemma said at a press conference Saturday.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Does anybody who makes these decisions ever ask

NASA is racing to establish a permanent human presence on the moon as the U.S. looks to beat China's ambitions on the lunar surface amid intensifying competition in space.The Trump administration’s push for a roughly $20 billion moon base marks a major shift in NASA’s strategy, moving away from plans for a lunar-orbiting space station and toward building infrastructure directly on the moon as a long-term foothold for deep space exploration."This time, the goal is not flags and footprints," NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said as he outlined the plan.

Iran’s military is not designed to win a conventional war against the United States or Israel. It is designed to survive one, absorb damage and continue fighting over time, experts say.That strategy is reflected both in how the force is built and how it is performing now, after weeks of sustained U.S. and Israeli strikes.The scale of the campaign has been significant. More than 9,000 targets have been struck since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, according to a March 23, 2026, fact sheet from U.S. Central Command, alongside more than 9,000 combat flights, hitting missile sites, air defenses, Islamic

While Republican senators, like Texas' Ted Cruz and Florida's Rick Scott, were quick to condemn the policies that kept the illegal immigrant killer of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman from being deported, Democratic senators dodged questions on whether Gorman's killer should have previously been deported prior to this month's murder.Gorman, who was a student at Loyola University of Chicago at the time of her death, was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, Jose Medina, 25. Medina was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol on May 9, 2023, but was subsequently released into the U.S. under the Biden administration, according to Trump's

House Republicans passed a short-term funding patch for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the fierce objections of Democratic lawmakers late Friday evening.But the 42-day shutdown that has snarled air travel and left tens of thousands of federal employees without pay is far from over.House lawmakers voted 213-203 largely along party lines to approve a two-month funding extension for the beleaguered department, which has been operating without full-year appropriations since the funding lapse began on Feb. 14. Reps. Don Davis, D-N.C., Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., and Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, crossed party lines to support the measure. More than a dozen

House Republicans' gambit to end the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown survived a critical hurdle on Friday evening, teeing up a chamber-wide vote that will put the chamber on a collision course with the Senate. The House Rules Committee advanced a two-month DHS stopgap measure after House GOP leadership vigorously rejected a Senate-passed deal earlier on Friday with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., dubbing the funding bill a "joke." President Donald Trump also criticized the Senate bill in an interview with Fox News.The Senate deal provided full-year appropriations for DHS minus funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), halting roughly

The Iranian regime’s retention of key nuclear weapons facilities and its material for building atomic bombs — highly enriched uranium — has led to new efforts by the U.S. and Israeli militaries to take out the last vestiges of the regime's program.On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that, that it's "Air Force Struck the Arak Heavy Water Plant—A Key Plutonium Production Site for Nuclear Weapons."

Nearly a month since the U.S. and Israeli launched military attacks on Iran, a slew of new national polls indicate that most Americans give the military strikes a thumbs down.But the surveys point to a continued broad partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans over the ongoing fighting in the volatile Middle East.Forty-two percent of voters support the current U.S. military action against Iran, and 58% oppose it, including nearly 4 in 10 who are strongly opposed, according to a Fox News national poll conducted last Friday through Monday (March 20–23) and released on Wednesday.That's a switch from the previous Fox

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., once said that failing to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was "legislative malpractice" — a position he is now rejecting in the current funding standoff with Republicans."We are here today to do a single job, and that should be to fund fully the Department of Homeland Security," Jeffries said during a 2015 speech on the House floor. Jeffries, near the start of his congressional career, urged the Republican-controlled House to pass a "clean" DHS bill that year when the department was on the brink of a partial government shutdown."Anything else is an
