“The Trump Administration does not believe popping more pills is always the answer for better health. There is mounting evidence finding a connection between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism — and that’s why the Administration is courageously issuing this new health guidance. Additionally, the Trump Administration is approving a new treatment option that has been found to improve some autism symptoms. President Trump pledged to address America’s skyrocketing rates of autism, and his team is deploying Gold Standard Science to deliver on this pledge. We will not be deterred in these efforts as we know millions across America are...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) this week, but on Tuesday morning, he took some time out to make the morning show rounds on several networks. He didn't shy away from promoting the Donald Trump administration's "America First" policies.AdvertisementOn ABC, George Stephanopoulos seemed obsessed with cuts to foreign aid, claiming they've led to deaths around the world. Rubio wasn't willing to play along with that tired narrative that I thought the left finally gave up on months ago. As the secretary has pointed out numerous times, USAID was a "dysfunctional...

We utterly reject the notion that it’s “cancel culture” to seek the termination of public employees who post murderous political rants on social media. When you’re employed by a public institution like a university, a public school, a fire department, a police force or some other government agency, your job carries with it a responsibility to serve the public. And when you make a public display of abject hatred toward large swaths of the public you have a responsibility to serve, you certainly aren’t meeting that responsibility. Which seems to be the case with respect to Lauren Nash, who is...

National leaders proclaiming the gospel in a moment of intense tragedy and turmoil is exactly what the nation needs.At the memorial for Charlie Kirk on Sunday, some of the highest-ranking members of the federal government boldly proclaimed the gospel message of human sin and salvation through Christ. It was a powerful moment, and one of many in which Kirk’s death was used to share the same Christianity he constantly preached on college campuses.The moment was a rebuke to the persistent idea of some Christians that citizenship in a heavenly kingdom means we should avoid using earthly political avenues to advance...

War Department Secretary Pete Hegseth has ended Pentagon participation in an advisory group focused on women in the military. Department press secretary Kingsley Wilson posted about the decision on Tuesday, writing, "Secretary Hegseth has decided to terminate the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services." Wilson said Hegseth has decided the advisory work of the DACOWITS panel did not fit into what he, or the country, needs. "The committee is focused on advancing a divisive feminist agenda that hurts combat readiness." She said that is the opposite of what Hegseth wants from an organization tasked with protecting the nation....

Don Lemon tried to smear Charlie Kirk’s memorial as “a political rally wrapped in church” — but I set the record straight. This wasn’t politics, it was a revival. When a Christian martyr dies, the Spirit of God moves, and that’s exactly what happened in Arizona. Don Lemon doesn’t want to say the name of Jesus because the truth convicts him. In this video, I break down his blasphemy, expose his hypocrisy, and show why Charlie’s life sparked a movement that can’t be stopped.

Pregnant women are filming themselves taking Tylenol in defiance against Donald Trump's shaky claim the painkiller causes autism in children. The president announced that doctors in the US will begin advising expectant mothers against taking the drug because of an apparent link. Trump, 79, claimed that taking Tylenol 'is no good', adding that pregnant women should 'fight like hell' to avoid taking it, except for in cases of extreme fever. Several moms have gone viral on TikTok for posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol in protest. 'Here's me, a PREGNANT woman, taking TYLENOL because I believe in science and not...

Asked directly by Baier if his ties with Trump had improved, Zelenskyy said, "I think we have better relations than before. It’s good that we have often [had] phone calls and meetings, and the fact that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin was lying to President Trump so many times also made a difference between us." Zelenskyy also said...

The Department of Homeland Security has shared a video of immigrants being arrested, spliced together with the Pokemon theme tune. Captioned ‘Gotta Catch ‘Em All’, the clip is a clear imitation of the popular anime, with images of Ash Ketchum and Pokemon balls cut together with footage of people being handcuffed. At the end of the clip, the men arrested are shown in mocked up Pokemon cards which give details of their crimes and show the flags of their nationalities. All are listed as ‘illegal’ with their ‘weakness’ symbol shown as ice, a reference both to typings for Pokemon, and...

U.S. — In the midst of an ongoing slander lawsuits regarding allegations that she was born a man, Americans are begging Brigitte Macron to please, please not send them photographic proof she is a woman. "Brigitte Macron, we know you have been baselessly slandered, but we urge you to please reconsider," said Bob Smith, a spokesperson for America. "Please spare us.

Donald Trump’s future presidential library will be housed in downtown Miami at a location selected, in part, because of its proximity to the Freedom Tower, a landmark that played a significant role in helping Cuban refugees migrating to Florida. Trump’s team has for months been eyeing Florida, where the president is a resident, as the location for the library, which they also hope can be part of a larger development that will include an adjacent hotel. It would be the first presidential library to also be home to a hotel developmen

Seen from the sky, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert resembles a futuristic dream. Viewed from the bottom line, however, Ivanpah is anything but. The solar power plant, which features three 459-foot towers and thousands of computer-controlled mirrors known as heliostats, cost some $2.2 billion to build. Construction began in 2010 and was completed in 2014. Now, it’s set to close in 2026 after failing to efficiently generate solar energy. In 2011, the US Department of Energy under former President Barack Obama issued $1.6 billion in three federal loan guarantees for the project and the Secretary of...

North Carolina Senate Republicans approved a measure Monday in honor of Iryana Zarutska, the Ukranian refugee stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail last month, that would revive the death penalty. House Bill 307 is called Iryana’s Law. Republicans say it makes several changes to remove roadblocks that have prevented the death penalty from being carried out in North Carolina. Under the proposal, instead of letting death penalty appeals sit indefinitely, they must now be heard within two years of filing, and continuances will not be granted unless the judge finds extenuating circumstances. The bill would establish lethal injection...
