President Donald Trump continued back-and-forth jabs with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson late Tuesday night as the Windy City experienced another deadly weekend.In a post on Truth Social, the president called Pritzker "incompetent" and said Johnson is "no better" while talking about Chicago crime statistics – six dead and 27 injured – from the weekend.Trump also said Pritzker should call him for help, which likely won't happen as the Democratic governor said federal assistance combating crime in the city is "exactly the type of overreach that our country's founders warned against.""A really DEADLY weekend in Chicago.

House Democrats are urging the Trump administration to allow children injured in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war to enter the U.S. for emergency medical care.In an Aug. 25 letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, more than 140 lawmakers asked for the reversal of a recent move to halt the approval of all visitor visas for people from the Gaza Strip, including children in need of medical care."This pause will deny children the medical care they desperately need. It is wrong to prevent children who are caught in the middle of this horrific conflict from receiving lifesaving medical care," the letter reads."In addition, this

National Guard troops deployed under President Donald Trump’s sweeping federal takeover of the capital were spotted this week picking up trash bags in Lafayette Park, the National Mall and the Tidal Basin. About 110 soldiers have been assigned to cleanup duty as part of a White House-directed "Safe and Beautiful Task Force," according to reporting from FOX 5 DC.The unusual optics highlight Washington’s image problem. Trump ordered roughly 800 Guard members into the city under a crime emergency plan, though only a fraction actually patrol with police. The rest are handling logistics or community projects, like hauling away litter under the supervision

Micah Parsons and the Cowboys are entrenched in a contract standoff. A few weeks ago, the star pass rusher went public with his desire to be traded to another team as talks on a potential long-term deal appeared to stall.But last week, longtime Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones doubled down on his stance against trading Parsons, while also pointing to Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta.Parsons' teammate, Dak Prescott, has experienced his own lengthy contract negotiation period with the Cowboys. The veteran quarterback expressed his "confidence" that Parsons will be in a Cowboys uniform in just over a week when Dallas

Reform UK said it's prepared to deport 600,000 asylum seekers from Britain to prevent "civil disorder."Party leader Nigel Farage said the plan includes withdrawing Britain from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), repealing the Human Rights Act, and scrapping international treaties that block forced deportations, Reuters reported.The ECHR, a cornerstone of UK human rights law, has repeatedly been used to halt deportations of migrants deemed to be in the country illegally, the BBC reported.TRUMP PRAISES STARMER ON TURNING AROUND MIGRANT BOATS: 'FANTASTIC THING'"We are not far away from major civil disorder," Farage told a press conference.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson dodged repeated questions from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday about whether an increased police presence in the city would help cut down on crime."Do you believe that the streets of Chicago would be safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the streets of Chicago?" Scarborough asked Johnson. Scarborough posed the question to the liberal Chicago mayor multiple times. Johnson instead emphasized the need for expanded social programs, including affordable housing. "I believe the city of Chicago and cities across America would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing. Look, I’m not saying—"

The FBI’s raid on John Bolton’s home and office is tied to an investigation that reaches beyond his controversial book, a source told Fox News Digital, fueling speculation that the former Trump adviser could face criminal charges.The scope of any potential charges against Bolton, who served under President Donald Trump before falling out of favor with him in 2019, is uncertain, but legal experts tend to agree that Bolton has some legal exposure.Prominent D.C.-based attorney Mark Zaid, who specializes in national security, said that while there are many unknowns about the Department of Justice’s investigation into Bolton, his memoir, "The

Georgia Bulldogs running back Nate Frazier couldn’t help but laugh when he reminisced about his first time getting a handoff in college last season. The true freshman out of Compton, California, didn’t expect he would be hearing his name called against No. 14 Clemson, but nonetheless, head coach Kirby Smart wanted him on the field. "There’s been people at the University of Georgia for three years and haven’t even touched the field yet," he told Fox News Digital over the phone while discussing his partnership with Powerade’s "It Takes More" campaign. "So, it’s like I wasn’t really expecting myself to touch the

A new report released Friday from the Congressional Budget Office is surprising, even stunning. The "CBO" is not thought to be a friend of Republican presidents and Congresses. Questions always arise from "supply-siders" about whether CBO rejects serious "dynamic scoring" of developments in the law and in major regulatory actions. Whatever the agency’s methodology, it issued a report on the Trump tariffs at the close of last week."We project that increases in tariffs implemented during the period from January 6, 2025, to August 19, 2025 will decrease primary deficits (which exclude net outlays for interest) by $3.3 trillion if the higher

I asked Donald Trump the question. Everyone asked Donald Trump the question.Would he engage in retribution in a second term?And we all got the same answer: He’d be too busy for that. His only retribution would be success.Well, if Trump is not engaged in turning government against his political enemies, he’s doing a pretty good imitation of it.Now, hardball politics is as old as the republic. The founders engaged in it. Abe Lincoln engaged in it. And you think LBJ never got his way by threatening to pull a grant or two for a congressman’s pet projects?Look, one thing I’ve

A federal judge struck down a Minnesota law that barred religious colleges from a state program, ruling it unconstitutional.In 2023, state legislators passed an amendment to the state's Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Act that changed who was eligible to participate in the program.

The 40-year-old state program lets high school students take college classes tuition-free at public or private institutions.Two Christian

President Trump went on a late-night attack against NBC and ABC News on Sunday, deriding them for what, in his view, was "biased" coverage and said he would be in favor of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoking their licenses. The Republican president said the news outlets had given him negative coverage on "97%" of stories. It wasn’t clear from where Trump was citing the "97%" figure. A study released earlier this year by the conservative media watchdog group, Media Research Center (MRC), found that coverage of the president’s first 100 days in office was "92% negative." "IF THAT IS THE CASE," Trump
