The Trump administration has rescinded a Biden-era rule that forced pharmacies to dispense abortion pills. This is a move hailed by pro-life advocates as a victory for religious freedom and conscience rights. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the decision Tuesday, repealing guidance issued in 2022 that required pharmacies receiving federal funding to stock and dispense abortion-inducing drugs that kill babies. The rule had been partially modified following a 2023 court ruling in favor of Christian pharmacies, but remnants of the mandate continued to threaten pro-life pharmacies nationwide. “We are grateful to the Trump administration for rescinding...

daryasafai: Jan 26, 2026. My speech on Sunday was in English because, through our broken hearts, we were speaking to the whole world. In the first few seconds, I asked my dearest compatriots for permission to speak to the world in English. 👇 “We are mourning—but we are stronger than ever. In just three days, we lost 60,000 beautiful young lives. Where were all the human rights activists then? Where were they when it was about Iran? I shared the video of a young girl beaten to death by the IRGC simply because she refused to wear the hijab. Where...

President Trump recently made some big moves with ICE in Minnesota that some believe was a surrender to leftist protesters. But Glenn Beck believes Trump is playing a very different game here. Glenn explains how Trump's actions may actually be a checkmate on Minnesota's leadership: either give him what he really wants, or admit their true intentions ... Video is 15 mins long.

There will be plenty of verbal sparring in this year’s governor’s race, but what are the top issues that Pennsylvania voters want Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and presumed Republican challenger state Treasurer Stacy Garrity to address? Well, if recent polls provide an accurate snapshot, the economy and healthcare will lead voters’ lists from now until Election Day on Nov. 3. “The governor’s race is certainly going to be affected by the same issues that will affect the broader midterm cycle with inflation, employment and healthcare all weighing on the races,” said Chris Borick, a political science professor and the director...

A state court on Tuesday blocked Virginia Democrats’ redistricting effort, delivering a setback to the party’s plans to redraw congressional lines ahead of November’s midterm elections. Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley Jr. ruled that Democrats in the General Assembly failed to follow the correct procedures when they launched a last-minute effort to change the state’s constitution and pave the way for a mid-decade redraw. Democratic legislative leaders said they intended to immediately appeal the ruling. If the ruling is upheld, however, it delivers a major blow to the party’s hopes of picking up as many as four additional seats...

A secondary school is to host a Ramadan awareness development session to help a city's teachers better support pupils who observe the Islamic month of fasting. The event on 5 February is being organised in partnership with the Muslim Council of Peterborough and Gladstone Community District Association (Gladca). About 30 people attended last year's session to learn how schools could respond sensitively to the needs of pupils during the holy period, and organisers said demand for the event remained high. Jon Hebblethwaite, head teacher at Jack Hunt Academy, said it supported its aim "to create a respectful environment where all...

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health and the VCU Police are investigating after a nurse at the hospital made a series of videos about fighting back against federal law enforcement. "We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care. We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system," VCU told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system." "VCU Police are...

Encrypted Signal messages show 'rapid responders' mobilized demonstrators to harass federal agents, then socialist groups capitalized on killing to foment protests. The skirmish that led to Saturday's fatal shooting of an agitator by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and the response that followed were driven by a complex network of far-left organizations with a wide range of causes, a Fox News Digital investigation found. A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE "Abductors" in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was...

Chrysler, long the minivan king, has a refreshed version of its Chrysler Pacifica coming in the second quarter of this year, and a next-generation version of the family hauler remains in the works. But until an all-new Pacifica arrives, questions abound about how the sole model in the Chrysler lineup will hold down the fort in the meantime. The main question swirling around the Pacifica in the short and longer term is what exactly will power it. Parent company Stellantis recently announced a new powertrain strategy in which it’s phasing out plug-in hybrids in North America and phasing in extended-range...

It’s one of the most iconic songs in all of R&B, particularly if you’re considering the version done by Wilson Pickett. The story of “Mustang Sally” contains several twists and turns, with several famous people and places involved. Because Pickett delivered such an amazing performance of the song in 1966, many people believe that he was the original artist. But “Mustang Sally” actually originated with another R&B performer, one whose failure to keep up with the car trends of the day led to this lasting hit. It Was Almost “Continental” SallyMack Rice, the artist who wrote and first recorded “Mustang...

A top Democrat fundraising boss in Michigan shared a picture honoring her grandfather, a German who fought for the Nazis, on Veterans Day. Kelly Neumann, a fundraising co-chair for several Democratic candidates, shared images of her late grandfather, Albert Neumann, on Facebook in 2024. The unearthed post was a tribute to all of her family and friends who served in the miliary, including Albert, who she said was on the 'German side in WWI & WWII.'

The Doomsday Clock, which has been ticking down to the end of the world for decades, is now officially closer to annihilation than ever before. On Tuesday, scientists with the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the symbolic clock four seconds forward to 85 seconds to midnight. It's also the closest the clock has ever been to midnight in its 79-year history, meaning experts believe humanity has never faced a more dire threat of a world-ending catastrophe than it does in 2026. The group, which decides where the hands are set annually, cited multiple threats to global stability, including nuclear weapons,...

Founding Parliament-Funkadelic bassist Billy Bass has died of unspecified causes at the age of 74, two days shy of his 75th birthday. P-Funk bandleader George Clinton shared the news on social media Monday morning. Earlier this month, Clinton noted that the group was keeping Bass "in our thoughts and in our hearts," again without mentioning any specifics. As a teenager, Bass (real name: William Nelson) worked for Clinton at a barbershop. He was recruited to back his boss's vocal group, then known as the Parliaments. In his 2014 autobiography, Clinton recalled how Bass helped him write the band's first big...

My second book, The Abortion Companion: An Affirming Handbook for Your Choice and Your Journey, is about to come out, and I’m feeling fussy. I’m scrolling through the long-finished page spreads, noting a .com where they should be a .org, an additional helpline I should have listed, a “definitely” where I could’ve written “absolutely.” The work is finished, but it’s never finished. Later, on a break from that particular form of fussing, I’m sorting through an album in my phone titled “Repro Cakes.” I scroll past “Abortion. Any time. Any reason,” “Abortion Pills Forever,” and “No shame, no stigma” looking...

Although CENTCOM said that the "exercise is designed to enhance asset and personnel dispersal capability," military parties have used such drills in the past as cover for launching a surprise attack... ...During the (multi-day) training event, CENTCOM said that US forces "will deploy teams to multiple contingency locations and validate rapid set-up, launch and recovery procedures with small, efficient support packages. AFCENT will conduct all activities with host-nation approval and in close coordination with civil and military aviation authorities, emphasizing safety, precision and respect for sovereignty."
