Conservatives on social media ripped Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Ga., for a video he posted to X on Sunday featuring him bench pressing while making political points.Many of these critics fixated on the amount of weight that Swalwell appeared to be lifting in the video, stating that a fit, grown man Swalwells age should be lifting more than that. In the video, Swalwell benches what appears to be 135 pounds while speaking to the camera and criticizing congressional Republicans.Fox News contributor Joe Concha wrote on X, "So the congressman who only seems to play on X all day with the most cringe videos ever produced has two 45 pound weights on the sides of a 45-pound bar, which equals a press of 135 pounds total. This is basically what a freshman football player can easily do 15 reps of"CLEAR CORRUPTION: JEFFRIES FACES COMPLAINT FOR PRESSING JUDGES TO OUST ALINA HABBASwalwell shared the video last weekend in response to congressional leaders letting lawmakers take their August recess early. Some have accused House leadership of cutting Congress loose to avoid lawmakers having to vote to demand the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files."I should be working right now," Swalwell said in the video. "I should be at the Capitol. I should be in a suit. Instead, Republicans sent us home because they would rather stand up for Donald Trump, than release the Epstein files and stand up for victims."President Donald Trumps critics have accused him of covering up details of the Epstein case after the Department of Justice and FBI declared this month that there were no more major details to release to the public about Epstein and his sex-trafficking operation.Following the backlash, Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all "pertinent" information related to the Epstein case.CHARLAMAGNE ACCUSES TRUMP OF TRYING TO 'MAKE AMERICA NORTH KOREA' BY ENGAGING IN 'AUTHORITARIAN RULE' ON MEDIAIn his video, Swalwell continued: "We could be in Washington, D.C., lowering your healthcare costs, lowering your grocery costs, and restoring your rights. I should be working right now. Instead, Im pumping iron at the gym." In other similar videos, he was seen playing basketball in the pool and baseball.Swalwells critics were not impressed by his display of strength. Conservative commentator Paul Szypula posted, "Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) does another cringe I should be at work video, this one at the gym where hes winded half-way through a set of light bench presses. Democrats are trying to attract white male voters. Swalwell at the gym pumping iron wont help."Conservative podcaster Eric Matheny mocked the weight Swalwell was lifting as well."Its not a flex for a 43-year-old man to bench press what a 14-year-old freshman football player does. What is up with these phony attempts of masculinity? Do Swalwell and Tim Walz use the same PR guy?"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., got in on the pile-on, sharing a video of her in her home gym telling Swalwell to lift more weight.In the caption, she wrote, "I just want Eric Swalwell to bench more than 135# and Democrats to stop lying. Congress is always out of session in August no matter who is in charge."She added, "And yes release the Epstein files but Democrats stop pretending like you suddenly care because you never cared about Epstein while you were in charge the last 4 years!!!"CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREConservative talk show host Wendy Bell replied to Swalwells clip, "Thats what I bench, Eric."Reps for Swalwell did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

He was also accused of engaging "in the intentional infliction of emotional distress," and his accuser was seeking $50 million in damages.The situation got ugly, with Sharpe calling the allegations a "shakedown" while he and his legal team released sexually explicit messages the woman had allegedly sent him.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe woman's attorney, Tony Buzbee, announced earlier this month that the sides "reached a mutually agreed upon resolution," but other details were not revealed.Sharpe joined ESPN shortly after departing FOX, appearing on "First Take." He last appeared on the show in April after the allegations became public.Buzbee represented two dozen of the women who accused Deshaun Watson of sexual assault, and all but one of those cases ended in a settlement.

Experts agree that seven to nine hours of sleep is ideal for most adults but when it comes to your health, the total number of hours might not be the most important factor.In a major new study led by teams from Peking University and Army Medical University, sleep irregularity has been linked to an increased risk of 172 different diseases.The researchers analyzed nearly seven years of UK Biobank sleep data from 88,461 adults averaging 62 years of age, focusing on multiple traits that includednocturnal sleep duration, sleep onset timing, sleep rhythm and sleep fragmentation, according to a press release.AMBIEN UNDER SCRUTINY AMID CLAIMS JOE BIDEN HAD BEEN TAKING SLEEP DRUGThey then compared that data to disease outcomes from the National Health Service, the Cancer Registry and the National Death Index.They found that for 92 diseases Parkinsons disease and acute kidney failure 20% of the risk was tied to poor sleep behavior.Forty-two diseases were linked to at least double the risk. Those included age-related frailty, gangrene, and fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver.Poor sleep traits were linked to 1.5 times the risk of 122 diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory failure, certain bone fractures and urinary incontinence.ALZHEIMER'S RISK COULD RISE WITH SPECIFIC SLEEP PATTERN, EXPERTS WARNInflammatory pathways were identified as one possible link between irregular sleep and disease."Some common diseases showed considerable attributable risk, such as Parkinson's disease, pulmonary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, thyrotoxicosis (hyperthyroidism) and urinary incontinence," the researchers wrote.The results were published in the journal Health Data Science."Our findings underscore the overlooked importance of sleep regularity," said Prof. Shengfeng Wang, senior author of the study, in the release. "Its time we broaden our definition of good sleep beyond just duration."Ashley Curtis, PhD, assistant professor and director of the Cognition, Aging, Sleep, and Health (CASH) Lab in the College of Nursing at the University of South Florida, was not involved in the research but shared her reaction to the findings."This study contributes to the growing evidence supporting the critical role sleep plays as a key modifiable risk factor across a range of medical disorders, particularly in mid- to late-life," she told Fox News Digital."However, this study also emphasizes that how we measure sleep matters in terms of what conclusions we make regarding its impact on health across the lifespan."Curtis highlighted the difference between self-reported sleep patterns versus objective measurements captured by wearable devices."Better understanding these patterns is important, because it can impact recommendations regarding what aspects of sleep we should be monitoring more closely in terms of assessing the risk of future declines in health," she said."Additionally, these findings provide insight into the specific physiological sleep-related mechanisms that may be driving comorbid disease trajectories."The researchers noted several major limitations in this research.The most prevalent is that the study is not representative of the nationwide population, as the participants were mainly middle-aged or elderly and therefore more susceptible to certain diseases.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe sleep data was also captured at only one single point in time.There is also a chance that external factors or "reverse causation bias" affected the results, they stated.Curtis echoed theselimitations, noting that sleep was only measured across one seven-day time period and did not consider variability in sleep patterns over time."Further, there was a lack of consideration of sleep disorders, such as insomnia or sleep apnea," she told Fox News Digital."Given that both of these sleep disorders are highly prevalent in aging populations, there is a need for future studies that include a more comprehensive clinical assessment in order to fully elucidate the link between sleep disorder profiles and the risk of other medical comorbidities."For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe research team plans to conduct future studies to confirm causality and to measure how sleep interventions may impact chronic disease outcomes.The study was supported by the National Key R&D Program of China, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Beijing Municipal Health Development Research Fund.

Julie Chrisley continues to face challenges after her time in prison. During an episode of the "Chrisley Confessions 2.0" podcast, the "Chrisley Knows Best" star, 52, revealed she developed a serious health condition while serving her 28-month stay at Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky."I have a lung condition from being in prison," she told husband Todd Chrisley, who also served time in a federal prison in Pensacola, Florida, on bank fraud and tax evasion charges before being pardoned by President Donald Trump in May.TODD AND JULIE CHRISLEY RETURN TO REALITY TV AFTER TRUMP PARDON FREES THEM FROM PRISONJulie, who claimed she was breathing in "asbestos" during her time in prison, said, "You will probably notice me at certain times, trying to get a breath."Though Todd noted that her condition hasn't yet been confirmed by a doctor, Julie has an upcoming appointment with a pulmonologist."We take seriously our duty to protect the individuals entrusted in our custody, as well as maintaining the safety of our employees and the community," the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in a statement to US Weekly.The FBP said its mission is to operate prisons that are "safe, secure and humane.""Humane treatment of men and women is our top priority," the statement continued.The Chrisleys' daughter Savannah, who fought tirelessly to get her parents pardoned, previously complained about poor prison conditions."The prison conditions are not something that is spoken about at all. And I've definitely ruffled some feathers by speaking about it," she told Fox News Digital in 2023."They are in conditions where it gets to be 115 degrees inside because there is no air conditioning. There's black mold, asbestos, lead-based paint. They're consuming food that says not for human consumption. There's not clean drinking water.TODD, JULIE CHRISLEY'S DAUGHTER ACCUSES PRISON OF PADLOCKING SUPPLIES AS COUPLE GETS REDUCED TIME"And when you look at this, you're not just serving a sentence for a term, you're serving a life sentence because of the conditions that you are enduring. And you don't know how that's going to affect your health."Last week, the reality television couple confessed that life on the outside is more difficult than the lives they led behind bars."Ive actually talked to a few of the women that I was in prison with that theyre already home," Julie began to explain during the July 23 episode of their podcast."We all have this general consensus that its kind of weird to even say it."Todd added, "No, its not weird. Life is rougher than prison life.""It is so horrific, the conditions that youre there for, but thats from a physical standpoint," he explained. "But from an emotional and psychological standpoint, it is harder dealing with day to day."Julie, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and underwent a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy in 2013, opened up about how prison forced her to focus on herself, not parenting or family drama."The longer that people are away from their kids as crazy as it sounds, because its a double-edged sword the easier it becomes because you get into your own routine," she said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"Doesnt mean you dont miss them, you dont love them, all that. But just from me being in prison, I had to just watch out for me. I had to take care of me. I had to make sure that I was as good as I could be physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. And thats all I could really do."The Chrisleys were convicted of federal bank fraud and tax evasion. They've both maintained their innocence.In May, Todd and Julie were released from federal prison after they received pardons from President Donald Trump.

A former Clinton adviser lauded President Trumps EU trade trip as an absolute success, and said the Europeans "came scrambling" for a deal.After 2 Way Morning Meeting Host Mark Halperin asked former Hillary Clinton and Jared Polis adviser Dan Turrentine if he deemed President Trumps European trade trip, in which the president and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a landmark trade deal at his Scotland golf course, a success, the longtime Democratic consultant replied "absolutely.""Absolutely, we're gonna get to trade here," Turrentine said Monday, though he qualified his praise by claiming that we still dont know the details of the trade deal.Trump and Von der Leyen announced the deal at his Trump Turnberry golf club Sunday. The deal stipulates that there will be 15% tariffs on EU goods, while goods such as steel, aluminum and copper will continue to be taxed at 50%. The deal also states that the EU will invest $600 billion into the U.S. economy and buy $750 billion worth of American energy by 2028, per a statement put out by the White House.BACK FROM SCOTLAND, TRUMP ENTERS CRUCIAL TRADE WEEK AND EYES FED'S DECISION ON RATE CUTSTrump touted the agreement as the "biggest deal ever made." Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hailed the deal as a "monster" win for the United States after it was announced."They agreed for the first time ever to cut all their tariffs, cut their barriers and let American businesses and farmers and ranchers and fishermen, finally, sell into the European Union massive market. This is huge for America," Lutnick told Bret Baier Monday. Turrentine said that not just the deal itself, but the fact that it was announced at the presidents golf course showed that Trump emerged from the trade negotiations with the upper hand. Trump has long had friction with Europe, accusing the EU of ripping off the U.S. on trade and NATO countries of not contributing their fair share.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"The Europeans came scrambling to him, and it does sound like the Europeans badly wanted a deal," Turrentine said. "Whether it was the German automakers frantic because they want to sell cars here, or French luxury good-makers talking about declining sales, the Europeans wanted a deal."French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou slammed the deal as "submission" and said the announcement was a "dark day" in a post on X."It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and to defend their common interests, resigns itself to submission," Bayrou wrote.Trumps trade announcement comes on the heels of a string of successful trade negotiations with the UK, Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia. Though critics contend that the presidents tariff policy will spike inflation and depress growth, so far inflation is down from its Biden-era peaks and the economy grew 3% last quarter. However, citing the countrys "obnoxious" trade barriers and business with Russia, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on India. Turrentine said that Trumps trade blitz represents a "new world order" for international commerce.
