Bad cybersecurity practices from Secret Service agents have left their phones vulnerable to hacking and risked the lives of senior US officials they are charged with protecting, according to a new inspector general report. Foreign “adversaries” — a term that can encompass spies and terrorists — “could have intercepted and exploited Secret Service information, placing at risk our Nation’s leaders, other protectees, and employees,” said the report released Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security inspector general (IG). The findings revive longstanding concerns about security practices at the Secret Service two years after the near-assassination of President Donald Trump in...

Former NFL star Chris Johnson shockingly revealed Monday that he was diagnosed with ALS last year when he was 39 years old. Johnson, the former Titans workhorse and one-time Jets running back, shared the news during an appearance on “Good Morning America.” “There’s no history of ALS in my family,” Johnson, now 40, shared in an interview with Michael Strahan. “My doctors believe my case is what’s called sporadic ALS, which is actually how the vast majority of ALS cases happen.” “That’s one of the reasons this disease can be so shocking,” he added. “It can happen to someone who...

The remaining Old Guard Democrats should understand that the forces that they have paired with not only seek our destruction, but theirs too. Other than self-loathsome, what would you call Chuck Schumer who coddles Ilhan Omar and courts Zohran Mamdami while both call for the eradication of Israel? The contempt that the youth wing of the Democrat party and the whole of the DSA show for Israel is no longer hidden. It is out in the open—huge and hideous. Yet Schumer and others in his party think that they can ignore, or even co-opt the beast. Of all the Democrats,...

American voters overwhelmingly support their country’s founding ideals – yet the majority also believe that the U.S. is failing to live up to them, according to new polling. The Center Square’s Voters’ Voice Poll revealed that 86% of registered U.S. voters support America’s founding principles, among which the poll listed “individual rights such as life, liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, equal treatment under the law, and government by the consent of the people.” Only 31% of all voters, however, believed those principles are being practiced well, painting a gloomy picture of voters’ moods...

A series of slickly produced videos show agents clad in suits and sunglasses striding confidently in slow motion. They usher VIPs into armored SUVs, as specially trained dogs sniff out explosives and officers toting assault rifles keep watch.

EXCLUSIVE: As part of an anti-fraud crackdown that spans the entirety of the federal government, the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uncovered millions of alleged fraudsters on the Affordable Care Act rolls, according to a report obtained by Fox News Digital. A Biden-era spike in Obamacare enrollments led to a probe into the veracity of millions of claims, a Trump administration official confirmed. At the beginning of Biden's term, there were 10 million people enrolled in the government's healthcare program, but that number drastically skyrocketed to 22 million at its 2024 peak. Now, the Trump administration...

According to the video, British Prime Minister Anthony Eden ordered the original British copy of the Protocol of Sèvres—a secret agreement made with France and Israel to justify military intervention in the Suez Canal—shredded because he was "terrified of its existence" and aware on some level that his actions were "indefensible."

FIRST ON FOX: A federal grand jury is investigating alleged financial crimes by Neville Roy Singham, the China-based tech tycoon whose fortune has funded a sprawling network of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations across the U.S. over the last decade. According to sources familiar with the matter, the grand jury in Manhattan has issued subpoenas as part of a probe launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country's most powerful districts for federal prosecutions. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the investigation as the Trump administration seeks to crack down...

Austrian Commissioner: protection will not be granted to those whom the Ukrainian authorities did not allow to leave. The European Commission has proposed to revoke the temporary protection status in the European Union for incoming Ukrainian refugees who are fit for military service. This initiative was previously supported by the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, and Sweden. Experts note that under the current losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it is impossible to replenish personnel through mobilization, which is why Kyiv has asked the European Union to take such measures. The EU also finds this beneficial now, as European society is...

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer got a bit tearful in his resignation remarks, quite a departure from the emotionless, bot-like face he normally presents to the world. But then, he was alluding to his family, people he apparently cares about. He's sad now, but in the days to come, he may realize that he has dodged a bullet – or perhaps a lynching – as the soul-sickening findings published by the Restore Britain Party's leader's Rupert Lowe 219-page Rape Gang Inquiry Report, released June 16, are bruited in international news. Starmer did not envision facing that particular music so soon....

GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- For the second time in 2026, the city of Green Bay has accidently sent duplicate ballots to some voters across the city. The city of Green Bay announced early Sunday evening that residents across the city have started to receive their mail-in ballots for the August primary election. However, some of the residents who received one of the 5,084 total ballots also received an additional ballot. The city says its staff became aware of the issue on Saturday that some voters in wards 11a, 12a, 37a, 44-47 and part of ward 43 received a duplicate ballot....

Among our “climate leader” jurisdictions, Britain is a serious contender for the top spot. Sure Germany got started earlier than Britain, with the so-called “Energiewende” going back to the 1990s; and upstart American states like California and New York each think that their own hair shirt energy restrictions should qualify them for the number one position. But Britain’s suite of policies in the aggregate is hard to top: mandatory Net Zero goals set by statute; madcap buildout of wind and solar electricity generation; shuttering of generation from coal and natural gas; refusal to permit drilling in the North Sea; complete...

Former President Joe Biden delivered a sharp critique of President Donald Trump during a speech to Maryland Democrats on Saturday night. Speaking at the Maryland Democratic Party’s “Fight Back & Win” gala, Biden said Trump isn't focused on addressing Americans’ problems. “It’s simply stunning to me. He has no shame,” Biden said. Biden criticized Trump’s changes around Washington, D.C., including the White House ballroom and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. “These are vanity projects,” Biden said. “They’re not about making people’s lives better.” Biden referred to Trump as “a loser” for using his "pool guy" to do the Reflecting Pool...

I had never heard of Citizen Vigilante, Uwe Boll's new film starring Armie Hammer, until a few days ago. That's when I read that this movie has been effectively banned in Germany and the United Kingdom. Something about it encouraging violence against migrants. But then Elon Musk made Citizen Vigilante available to watch for free on his X (formerly Twitter) platform. Something that would avoid the censorious thought police and let the people see and decide on their own. Which only made the German and British governments even more furious. Rush Limbaugh called it the "Streisand Effect": trying to keep...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who has served nearly 40 years in Congress to become one of its most influential power brokers, on Monday announced who she will take on when she leaves office in January: UC Berkeley students. The Nancy Pelosi Institute for Representative Democracy, to be launched with tens of millions of dollars in gifts from Pelosi and other donors, will seek to bring leading scholars to campus, cultivate students’ ambitions for public service, and position itself as a Bay Area counterweight to major university political institutes that frequently attract former members of Congress and White House staff. Pelosi (D-San...

Pete Buttigieg's harrowing swatting story from last week is now coming under scrutiny, suggesting he may not be telling the entire truth. As TGP's Jordan Conradson reported, Buttigieg claims he was swatted this week by Child Protective Service agents and separated from his four-year-old twins. Buttigieg ran to Substack to write a column about the incident. Describing himself as "bewildered and troubled," Buttigieg said that "the CPS worker told me something that made my stomach turn: I was not to be alone around the children, at least until the interview took place the next day." After a "sleepless night," he...
