U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy and his now ex-wife, education policy attorney Catherine Holahan, divorced late last month after a nearly two-year separation. Holahan filed the divorce complaint in the family division of superior court in Hartford on July 20, checking a box on the form to indicate that the marriage had "broken down irretrievably."

A year-long wiretap investigation into a series of overdose deaths in Volusia County led to 50 arrest warrants for individuals involved in violent crimes and drug dealing, the sheriff's office said. A multi-agency task force executed "Operation Holy Rollers" early Tuesday morning, targeting members of a violent local gang known as the "Cut Throat Murderers." Law enforcement arrived at a church in Holly Hill on June 30 after several deaths were linked to drugs coming out of that property, officials said.

Robart said, “Ms. Lee-Carroll broke the trust she had with her fellow veterans. It was intentional and it went on for an extended period of time.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump's White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the party’s 2028 contenders. "Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday. Swalwell's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.

After more than 50 years, Southwest Airlines' "bags fly free" policy is finally coming to an end. Southwest on Tuesday announced the first checked bag will cost $35, while a second checked bag will cost $45. The policy will begin tomorrow, when some passengers may be subject to a checked bag fee when booking a flight on the discount carrier. Weight and size limits for bags will apply. The new policy only applies to flights booked on May 28 or later, which means today is the last day to book if passengers want to avoid the new fee.

The United States will work with partners and stakeholders in Syria to help seize the opportunity that has presented itself after rebel fighters' stunning overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, President Joe Biden said on Sunday. "At long last, the Assad regime has fallen," said Biden, commenting on a fast-moving string of events in Syria that caught some in the White House off guard. Biden and his top national security aides took stock of a new-look Middle East that may be emerging after rebel forces ousted Assad in little more than a week.

An Ontario town has been fined $10,000 and its officials ordered to complete mandatory “human rights” training after it refused to celebrate Pride Month. Emo is a township of about 1,300 people located in the far west of Ontario, along the border with Minnesota. In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as “Pride Month.” The town was also cited for failing to fly “an LGBTQ2 rainbow flag,” despite the fact that they don’t have an official flag pole.

The teenage boy accused of shooting two people dead on Halloween has refused to show up to court - but his mom took his place instead. Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, 17, who allegedly killed two men and injured eight other people in downtown Orlando, failed to show up to court Saturday morning. Instead, his mother made an emotional appearance on his behalf according to Fox 35 Orlando. She spoke only to confirm his identity. The suspect is expected to be charged as an adult due to the severity of the crimes he is accused of. The judge said he will remain in juvenile custody.

UPDATE: NBC has officially called the Michigan Senate race for far-left Democratic Socialist Abdul El-Sayed. Islamo-Marxist Abdul El-Sayed appears on track to defeat the so-called moderate Democrat in the Michigan Democratic Primary for Senator. Stevens was backed by Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Senator Chuck Schumer. El-Sayed will now face former Rep. Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the November general election. El-Sayed has denied that he is a socialist, but he’s attended and spoken at at least six DSA events over the years, according to Fox. “I’m not technically or practically DSA,” he claimed in an interview last month. “I am not somebody who is a socialist.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the U.S.’ first flu shot that uses mRNA technology: mFlusiva, from drugmaker Moderna. The FDA granted approval for two age groups, adults 50 to 65 and adults 65 and up, on the condition that Moderna run an additional clinical trial in the older group, the company said in a release. In a late-stage trial, mFlusiva was found to be about 27% more effective than a standard flu shot. Many scientists and public health experts have touted the idea of an mRNA-based flu vaccine, which uses the same messenger RNA platform as the Covid vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer.

NBC News projected early Wednesday that Abdul El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in the state's Democrat senatorial primary. Our partner DDHQ has also just called the race. Establishment Democrats are freaking out right now. Bernie Sanders’ organization Our Revolution also declared victory in the race. "Last night, Michigan delivered one of the clearest messages of this election cycle: people power can beat big money,” Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution, said in a statement. “Abdul El-Sayed was outspent by nearly ten to one, facing the largest single-race AIPAC investment in history and tens of millions of dollars from billionaire-backed super PACs determined to buy this election.

A Westchester County police bigwig and her ex-con hubbie chaperoned their gangbanger son to a botched hit on a rival in the Bronx – then she took over as the getaway driver, officials said Tuesday. Mount Vernon Deputy Police Commissioner Jennifer Lackard, 49, and her husband James Lackard drove their 20-year-old son Chase Lackard to Concourse on June 29 at around 11:57 a.m. and helped him plan a brazen hit right outside the Bronx Criminal Court, according to police and court records. Once there, the proud parents sat in the front of the family’s Chrysler Pacifica while their “Slutty Gang” member son opened fire with a semiautomatic out of the window

Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) claimed Republicans would vote for Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Jayapal said, “I’m struck by the fact that they have nothing positive to offer voters. All they can do is try to attach labels to Abdul El-Sayed after seeing a primary. That was a remarkable turnout from voters. I mean, 1.4 million votes, I believe, were cast in the Michigan primary; people are electrified and being on the ground with Abdul. I can tell you he is an electrifying candidate. He has really mobilized a whole group of voters who had given up

Donald Trump was President of the United States, and James Comey was his employee. Comey was terrible at his job and was engaged in a massive conspiracy to slander and perhaps imprison the president, pushing conspiracy theories he knew to be false, leaking false information to the media through intermediaries, including information that was classified, and hence he broke the law. President Trump fired him. Comey's allies in the FBI opened a criminal investigation into the president for exercising his constitutional duties as Chief Executive of the United States.
What If Nobody Wants To Run Mamdani’s
Grocery Stores?

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist dream of government-run grocery stores is off to a bad start. He’s already had to admit that customers will have to carry proof of residency to shop in them, that private companies — not the city — will run the stores, and that the first one won’t open for more than a year, and others not for three years. But Mamdani’s likely to face an even bigger problem if no legitimate grocer wants to get into bed with him. The “request for proposals” tacitly admits that his idea of government-run stores was stillborn, since he wants bids from private companies that have extensive experience

Some blockbuster news is dropping Wednesday night as pertains to the ongoing congressional investigations into Anthony Fauci: a copy of the diminutive doctor's COVID-era phone has landed in the hands of the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).According to an exclusive report in the Wall Street Journal, the phone was handed over by the Department of Health and Human Services, and is likely to contain additional records about Fauci's conduct during the pandemic. This comes a week after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) publicly released an archive of documents related to Fauci's handling of COVID, including his diaries.
Is America going socialist? 15 replies

Socialists have won one Democratic primary after another this year. Of course, Democratic primary voters represent a thin slice, the leftward-most portion, of our electorate. Still, socialism as a viable popular movement in the United States represents a radical departure from our history. How wide is the appeal of socialism, really? Rasmussen headlines “Voters Overwhelmingly Reject DSA Policies,” and its findings are interesting. But while the Rasmussen survey tests four policies being advocated by the Democratic Socialists of America, socialism is not one of them. And I don’t find the results to be particularly reassuring:
Just give poor people more money 14 replies
Posted by Big Bopper 8/5/2026 7:53:55 PM Post Reply
Socialists think poor people have too little money, and rich people have too much. I happen to think the truth is somewhat the opposite. A big problem is that poor people in America have too much money despite their proven inability to manage it. Poor people consume monster meals and quart-sized sodas at McDonalds, lease gas-guzzling trucks that are too big for the road, buy lousy food that is too much for them to eat, and get 100” TVs even though there’s nothing on. But for purposes of the discussion, let’s accept the premise: Poor people have too little money.
