Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Wednesday that the FBI would be "unwelcome" to pursue Texas lawmakers who fled to his home state to stall a redistricting vote.In an interview with "News Not Noise with Jessica Yellin," Pritzker argued that the Texas lawmakers had not broken any federal law, and, therefore, the FBI doesnt have jurisdiction. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, disagreed, sending a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel earlier this week asking the bureau to help locate or arrest "potential lawbreakers" who fled Texas in a maneuver to avoid legislative responsibilities "in violation of their oath of office.""Theyre grandstanding. Theres literally no federal law applicable to this situation. None," Pritzker told the podcaster on Wednesday. "They can say that theyre sending FBI. FBI agents might show up to, I dont know, put a show on. But the fact is, our local law enforcement protects everybody in the state in Illinois. Our state troopers protect anybody in Illinois, and anybody whos here in Illinois. And so, whether its federal agents coming to Illinois or state rangers from Texas, if you havent broken federal law, youre basically unwelcome, and theres no way that our state legislators here, Texas state legislators, can be arrested."COLBERT CONFRONTS JB PRITZKER WITH MAP SHOWING ILLINOIS GERRYMANDERINGPritzker categorized Cornyns plea as political theater, noting that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is challenging his U.S. Senate seat. The Illinois governor also took swipes at President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott."We follow the law," Pritzker said. "But as you know, Donald Trump does not follow the law. Indeed, hes a convicted felon. And in Texas, they are also not following the law. They are thwarting the Constitution with the Voting Rights Act and making threats that they cant carry out. John Cornyn, of course, is running against Ken Paxton, for his seat in the U.S. Senate, and so theyre fighting, bickering over who can be tougher on this topic. But the fact is, I think theyre demonstrating as a result of that bickering, and Abbott has weighed in as well, that this really is all about politics."Abbott convened a special session to try to advance a congressional redistricting plan which could add five new Republican-leaning House seats before the midterms next year.Trump is pushing Republican states to open the process for redistricting mid-cycle to give the GOP a better chance of maintaining control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections. In Texas, more than 50 Democratic lawmakers fled the state earlier this month to prevent a necessary quorum in the Texas House, which requires at least 100 members of the 150-member body to be present.WATCH: TRUMP SAYS FBI 'MAY HAVE TO' HELP TEXAS ROUND UP AWOL DEM LAWMAKERSPritzker and fellow Democrats, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, offered sanctuary to those Texas Democrats, applauding the gridlock as a fight to save democracy. Both Newsom and Hochul vowed to "fight fire with fire."Meanwhile, Texas state Republicans voted to issue civil arrest warrants and $500 daily fines for Democratic colleagues who abandoned their duties.Trump told reporters on Tuesday that the FBI "may have to" intervene.In a phone interview on CNBC's "The Squawk Box" on Tuesday, Trump argued that Democratic states, including Massachusetts, California and Illinois, have already pushed redistricting to benefit their own party, so Republicans will do the same."In Illinois, where you have probably the dumbest of all governors, Illinois. That guy's really sending I mean, the business is flowing out of his state. It's terrible. It's a terrible thing that Pritzker is doing. He's you know, he was the black sheep of the family. They threw him out of the business," Trump said. "But in Illinois, what's happened is, is terrible what they're doing You notice they go to Illinois for safety. But that's all gerrymandered.""California's gerrymandered," the president continued. "We should have many more seats in Congress in California. It's all gerrymandered. And we have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really good governor, and we have good people in Texas. And I won Texas. I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know. And, we are entitled to five more seats."

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, and every NFL player, doesnt have to go into gamedays without smelling salts after all.Kittle joked that he "considered retirement" after a memo was sent to all 32 NFL teams on Tuesday that appeared to ban the usage of smelling salts on the sideline during games.However, the NFLPA sent a memo to its players on Wednesday saying the opposite.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe ban only prohibits team employees from distributing smelling salts and other ammonia inhalants during pregame, halftime or games on the sideline or locker rooms."The NFL Players Association is aware of the memo issued by the league Tuesday regarding the use of smelling salts and ammonia capsules," the memo to players read, via NFL.com. "We were not notified of this club policy change before the memo was sent out. To clarify, this policy does not prohibit player use of these substances, but rather it restricts clubs from providing or supplying them in any form. The NFL has confirmed this to us."49ERS' GEORGE KITTLE JOKES HE 'CONSIDERED RETIREMENT' AFTER NFL MEMO BANS SUBSTANCE HE USES FOR GAMEDAY BOOSTThe memo from the NFL said that teams are prohibited from "providing or supplying ammonia in any form," which includes ammonia capsules, inhalers, ammonia in a cup or any form of smelling salts."In 2024, the FDA issued a warning to companies that produce commercially available ammonia inhalants (AIs), as well as to consumers about the purchase and use of AIs, regarding the lack of evidence supporting the safety or efficacy of AIs marketed for improving mental alertness or boosting energy," the memo read, per ESPN. "The FDA noted potential negative effects from AI use. AIs also have the potential to mask certain neurological signs and symptoms, including some potential signs of concussion."As a result, the NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee recommended prohibiting the use of AIs for any purpose during NFL play."After reading that first memo, Kittle believed that he could never use smelling salts again, which he does regularly before entering offensive drives for an extra boost of energy."I honestly just came up here to air a grievance," Kittle said as he crashed 49ers teammate Fred Warners interview on NFL Network. "Our team got a memo today that smelling salts and ammonia packets were made illegal in the NFL, and I've been distraught all day."Wehave got to figure out a middle ground here, guys. Somebody help me out. Somebody come up with a good idea. That's all I had to get out there. Get that off my chest."However, Kittle and the rest of the league will be able to use them they just have to remember to bring their own.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott's goal in next year's midterm elections is not only to defend the GOP's 53-47 margin in the Senate, but to expand the majority.Scott, the conservative senator from South Carolina, told Fox News Digital soon after taking over late last year as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) that he aimed to increase the GOP's control in the chamber to at least 55 seats.And he's standing by his goal."The bottom line is, I believe that we can defend our current seats while adding at least two more seats to our numbers," the NRSC chair told Fox News Digital earlier this year.THIS REPUBLICAN JUST JUMPED INTO BATTLEGROUND GEORGIA'S HIGH-PROFILE SENATE RACESenate Republicans enjoyed a favorable map in the 2024 cycle as they flipped four seats from blue to red to win back the majority.But the party in powerclearly the Republicans right nowtraditionally faces political headwinds in the midterm elections. Nevertheless, a current read of the 2026 map indicates the GOP may be able to go on offense in some key states.In battleground Georgia, which President Donald Trump narrowly carried in last year's White House race, Republicans view first-term Sen. Jon Ossoff as the most vulnerable Democrat incumbent up for re-election next year.TRUMP-BACKED RNC CHAIR JUMPS INTO THE NATION'S MARQUEE SENATE RACEThey're also targeting battleground Michigan, where Democratic Sen. Gary Peters is retiring at the end of next year, and swing state New Hampshire, where longtime Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen decided against seeking a fourth six-year term in the Senate.Also on the NRSC's target list is blue-leaning Minnesota, where Democratic Sen. Tina Smith isn't running for re-election.At the top of their list is Ossoff, who narrowly won election to the Senate in a January 2021 runoff contest.But Ossoff is off to a very hot fundraising start, and a GOP primary in Georgia between Reps. Mike Collins and Buddy Carter, and former college and professional football coach Derek Dooley, is starting to turn combustible.DNC CHAIR TELLS FOX NEWS DIGITAL DEMOCRATS HAVE HIT ROCK BOTTOM - HERE'S HIS PLAN TO REBOUNDRepublicans are also confident they can flip Michigan, another battleground Trump narrowly carried last November.Former Rep. Mike Rogers, the 2024 GOP Senate nominee who lost last year's race by a razor-thin margin, has at this point cleared the Republican primary field, thanks in great part to Trump's endorsement.Democrats, meanwhile, have a very competitive primary on their hands. The primary race includes three well-known Democrats: Rep. Haley Stevens, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and former gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who enjoys the backing of progressive champion Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.With Shaheen, who made history as the first woman in the nation's history to win election as a governor and a senator, out of the running in New Hampshire, the GOP is hoping to win a Senate election in the Granite State for the first time in 16 years.They're encouraged by the gains Trump made in New Hampshire in last year's election, as he improved on his showing from four years earlier and came close to carrying the state.But four-term Rep. Chris Pappas' announcement in early April that he would run to succeed Shaheen has cleared the Democratic primary field, as of now, of any potential rivals for the party's Senate nomination.Meanwhile, a Republican primary in the statewhere the GOP hasn't won a Senate race in 15 yearsis heating up between former Sen. Scott Brown and state Sen. Dan Innis, with the possibility of more candidates entering the race.In Minnesota, the leading candidates in the Democratic primary to succeed Smith are Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig.Former professional basketball player Royce White, who won the 2024 Senate nomination in Minnesota, and former Navy SEAL Adam Schwarze are currently running in the GOP primary. But another Republican Senate hopeful may soon enter the field.While Republicans will work to defy political history in next year's midterms, they point to the Democratic Party's current brand issues."Democrats have historically low approval ratings because candidates like Jon Ossoff and Chris Pappas keep prioritizing radical policies like men in womens sports, protecting sanctuary cities for criminal illegal aliens, and raising taxes on working families," NRSC communications director Joanna Rodriguez argued in a statement to Fox News.And Rodriguez touted that "Republicans are delivering on policies that keep Americans safe and let families and workers keep more of their hard-earned paychecks. Voters will reward us for it in 2026."

Years before Sydney Sweeney had "great jeans," Brooke Shields had her own controversial "genes" ad for Calvin Klein.Sweeney broke the internet late last month with an American Eagle Jeans ad that sparked backlash after she spoke about genes being "passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color.""My jeans are blue," she added as the camera closed in on her eyes. The ad is part of American Eagles "Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans" campaign and is strikingly similar to the one Shields did 45 years ago.SYDNEY SWEENEY 'JEANS' AD SIGNALS MAJOR CULTURAL TURNING POINT, INDUSTRY EXPERTS SAYShields was just 15 years old when she starred in the Calvin Klein campaign, famously telling viewers that "nothing" comes between her and her jeans a line that became controversial for its sexualization of a minor.In another commercial from the campaign, the "Suddenly Susan" star spoke to the camera and said, "The secret of life lies hidden in the genetic code. Genes are fundamental in determining the characteristics of an individual and passing these characteristics on to succeeding generations. Occasionally, certain conditions produce a structural change in the genes, which will bring about the process of evolution."She went on to say this could occur by "selective mating, in which a single gene type proves superior in transmitting its genes to future generations. Secondly by gene drift, in which certain genes may fade awaywhile other genes persist. And finally, by natural selection, which filters out those genes better equipped than others to endure in the environment. This may result in the origin of an entirely new species, which brings us to Calvins and the survival of the fittest."Shields said her lines while struggling to put on a pair of jeans without exposing herself and while contorting herself into some interesting positions.The now-60-year-old actress told Vogue three years ago that the campaign was meant to be a series of commercials that had an "intellectual spin" on doing a jeans ad and involved "wordplay or historical references or literary references."LIBERAL MEDIA OUTLETS ARGUE THAT SYDNEY SWEENEY GOOD JEANS AD PROMOTES WHITENESS, EUGENICSShe said the backlash to the ads was swift, with them even being banned in certain places, which she found "ridiculous.""What was shocking to me was to be berated by, Oh, you knew this was happening. This is what you thought. You were thinking these thoughts.' I was a kid and where I was, I was naive," she said.In Shields case, the backlash was mainly over the sexual nature of her most famous ad, where she states, "You want to know what comes in between me and my Calvins? Nothing."SYDNEY SWEENEY'S SHOOTING SKILLS GO VIRAL AS SHE MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE SINCE AMERICAN EAGLE CONTROVERSY"I feel like the controversy backfired," Shields told Vogue in 2021. "The campaign was extremely successful."The backlash to Sweeney's campaign was equally swift, but this time it faced the brute force of social media, with some suggesting it had shades of "eugenics" and "White supremacy."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSHowever, others, including President Donald Trump, have come to the ads defense."Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. Its for American Eagle, and the jeans are flying off the shelves," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The tide has seriously turned Being WOKE is for losers."He also told reporters, "If Sydney Sweeney is a Republican, I think her ad is fantastic."Jesse Watters mentioned the comparison on his show this week while dismissing the backlash.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"This is a Madison Avenue campaign thing that theyve done since the 80s, the play on words with the jeans," he said. "Theyve done it with brown-eyed girls and Blacks and blondes."American Eagle released a statement on its social media last Friday, saying, "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. Well continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone."The companys recent social media posts also include several models of color interspersed with Sweeneys campaign.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital has reached out to American Eagle, Sweeney and Shields for comment.

Long before bourbon dominated the liquor market, rye whiskey reigned supreme.Now, a Midwestern distiller is teaming up with scientists to bring back a long-gone type of grain and turn it into spicy, bold whiskey.The source is a wooden schooner named the James R. Bentley that's been sitting in Lake Huron for nearly 150 years. The ship sank in Nov. 1878 after striking a shoal.ANCIENT ROMANS' FAVORITE SAUCE REVEALS FISHY SECRETS AFTER 1,800 YEARSRemarkably, all the crew members on the ship were rescued and even more remarkably, the ship still contains the remnants of the rye it was shipping.Chad Munger, founder and CEO of Mammoth Distilling, talked to Fox News Digital about his efforts to revive the grain, which he calls "Bentley rye.""The shipwreck itself is a rarity in the Great Lakes," Munger said. "It's privately owned by a gentleman [who] lives in Illinois who won a lawsuit ... which resulted in some new laws in the state of Michigan that preclude individuals from owning shipwrecks."That legal quirk made the recovery possible.ORDINARY ANCIENT ROMANS ATE 'LUXURY' MEAT AT FAST-FOOD SHOPS, NEW RESEARCH REVEALSAfter Munger contacted the owner and obtained permission for a dive, his team retrieved samples of the 140-year-old rye from the ship's hold."It was a really rare set of circumstances that brought that all together in this particular case," Munger said.Mammoth Distilling is no stranger to this type of effort. It has helped revive another old type of grain, called Rosen rye.Thanks to a U.S. Department of Agriculture seed bank in Idaho, the company obtained the seeds and germinated them back into existence.Bentley rye, however, has been trickier to germinate. Eric Olson, a wheat breeding and genetics professor at Michigan State University, has been working to sequence the genome of the DNA.STUDENTS COOK ANCIENT RICE DISH BASED ON 2,000-YEAR-OLD MANUSCRIPT WITH SURPRISINGLY HEALTHY RESULTSSpeaking to Fox News Digital on July 30, Olson called the Bentley rye variety a "historical treasure.""It gives us a snapshot of the exact variety of rye being grown in the Great Lakes region in the late 1800s," he said.Olson reported that the project has made some "foundational progress" over the past several months, including growing 269 varieties of rye."In the coming weeks, we will be extracting DNA and sequencing pieces of the chromosomes of the 269 rye varieties and then [comparing] them with the chromosomes of the Bentley rye variety," Olson detailed."Once we find the existing varieties with chromosomes matching those from the Bentley rye, we start the process of hybridizing these existing varieties (using classical plant-breeding methods) to bring all of the Bentley rye chromosomes back together."Olson said the process will take between four and five years.Of the effort, Munger said, "They're essentially Frankenstein-ing the thing back into existence.""Its a tip of the spear in terms of a very, very large project to make rye better in the world."RARE AND MYSTERIOUS WHISKEY BOTTLES FOUND WASHED UP ON BEACHMunger explained that the majority of whiskey made before Prohibition was rye whiskey, which must contain at least 51% rye grain."That's what everybody in the United States used to make whiskey," Munger said. "It was not bourbon."He added, "Bourbon took over because it's cheaper to make."But, Munger said, good grain is like good wine grapes and it makes a huge difference in the final product."The varieties of grain you use make a big difference in terms of the flavor character," he said."You can get a lot of grassy notes and clove spice notes and base spice notes, depending on what variety of grain you're using."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe project may also help the Great Lakes State become the top producer of rye again."One hundred and fifty years ago, Michigan was the rye-growing capital of North America," Munger said."The state of Michigan is where you came to buy rye for whatever reason you were buying rye. As soon as Prohibition happened, it wiped out the whole industry."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleHe hopes that his project has the potential to help "reinvigorate a segment of the Michigan agricultural economy that's gone dormant and that really needs to be revived.""It's a much bigger story than just a cool shipwreck," Munger emphasized."It's really the first step in what we hope is a reinvigoration of a whole segment of the Michigan economy."

Veteran Democratic operative Anita Dunn will be on Capitol Hill on Thursday for a closed-door interview with House Oversight Committee investigators.She is the tenth former White House official to appear before the panel's lawyers, as Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., probes whether former President Joe Biden's inner circle worked to cover up signs of mental decline in the elderly leader and whether executive actions signed via autopen were done without his awareness.Dunn is appearing voluntarily before the committee's lawyers for a transcribed interview. It's expected to begin around 10 a.m. and will likely last several hours into the afternoon.Three of the 10 former Biden administration officials who have appeared so far have come under subpoena, and each pleaded the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering material questions.RON KLAIN DODGES REPORTERS AFTER MARATHON GRILLING IN BIDEN COVER-UP PROBEAppearing voluntarily does not give people the ability to invoke the constitutional right against self-incrimination, but it's possible Dunn will give House investigators little to work with.The six former White House aides who appeared voluntarily before her have all defended Biden's mental acuity and ability to serve as president, sources said, even as some, like ex-Chief of Staff Ron Klain, have conceded the 82-year-old's age has worn on him over time.Dunn, like those who appeared before her, has known Biden for years.She's been a key player in Democratic communications and public relations strategies for decades, and reportedly was a central figure in Biden's messaging strategy both at the White House and during his short-lived 2024 campaign."Shes running everything," one unnamed White House advisor told CNN in June 2023 while discussing Biden's re-election bid.LONGTIME BIDEN AIDE SAYS HE STOOD TO EARN UP TO $8M HAD PRESIDENT WON RE-ELECTIONA January 2023 report by NBC News described Dunn and her husband, former Obama administration White House counsel Robert Bauer, as central figures in Biden's orbit. Bauer also reportedly served as Biden's personal lawyer."If its a room of five people, Anita and Bob are two of them," an unnamed former White House aide told the outlet.Dunn was also a central figure amid the fallout after Biden's disastrous June 2024 debate against then-candidate Donald Trump.NBC News reported in July 2024 that Biden family members discussed whether he should fire Dunn and Bauer, though White House chief of staff Jeff Zients dismissed the reports as "unfounded and insulting rumors" in a statement to the outlet at the time.Dunn served as White House communications director under former President Barack Obama, and Biden brought her onto his 2020 campaign to help with his own communications strategy.She also served as senior advisor to the president for communications in the Biden White House before playing a key role in his 2024 campaign.Comer wrote in his letter summoning Dunn, "You served as former President Bidens 'most senior communications adviser.' Former President Biden confided in you extensively over the past decade.""The Committee seeks to understand your observations of former President Bidens mental acuity and health as one of his closest advisors. If White House staff carried out a strategy lasting months or even years to hide the chief executives conditionor to perform his dutiesCongress may need to consider a legislative response," Comer wrote.

President Donald Trump declared in a Thursday morning Truth Social post that he has directed the Commerce Department to start working on a new census, noting that illegal aliens in the U.S. will not be included in the population count."I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024," the president said in the post."People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he added.This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

Baffled Disneyland visitors at the "It's a Small World" attraction were greeted by a protest doll holding a sign reading "Remember Hiroshima" over the weekend, sparking questions and speculation online as videos of the doll spread.Videos began circulating on TikTok and Reddit Monday showing a woman carrying a female doll holding a sign reading "Remember Hiroshima" while walking around Disneyland. Another photo online showed the doll within the "It's a Small World" exhibit, strategically positioned next to one of the tunnels that the boat ride traffics.Speculation mounted as the videos spread and earned hundreds of thousands of views and social media users questioned the meaning of the political stunt, while others questioned how the doll made it through the park's tight security.Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen revealed he was behind the stunt Thursday, telling Fox News Digital in a phone interview that he's in the midst of a campaign against the U.S. government's stockpile of powerful weapons as part of his "Up in Arms" campaign against the Pentagon's spending budget. Cohen said that while the campaign targets current policies under the Trump administration, the matter of Pentagon spending is "disgustingly bipartisan" and stretches long past the current administration.CALIFORNIA BEACH RESIST! PROTEST PUSHES KINDNESS WHILE CALLING TO 86 47 IN ANTI-TRUMP MESSAGE"The whole idea of the Small World exhibit is that it's a small world after all," Cohen told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. "You got all the children from the different countries around the world being together, loving each other. And we put a doll in there that says, Remember Hiroshima.I mean, that's what was supposed to happen after the bomb in Hiroshima. We were supposed to remember what we did there and say, Never again. And we've, we've ignored that."The political protest was launched just ahead of the 80th anniversary of the 1945 Hiroshima bombings Thursday, when an atomic bomb killed more than 100,000 people in the Japanese city during World War II. Cohen specifically took issue with the ongoing war in Gaza, which he called the "moral issue of our time," when speaking with Fox Digital, as well as the Pentagon's nearly $900 billion budget."They've turned us all into murderers, and they're taking our money, buying bombs with it, and giving it to Israel to slaughter people in Gaza," he said of the war that has raged since the Biden administration. "And a whole lot of them are kids, just like that little girl that we placed in Disneyland."Cohen said his criticisms of the U.S.' military budget and push to build stockpiles of weapons is "disgustingly bipartisan," stretching back long before the Trump administration."Trump is the current president. He's responsible, but I can tell you that all the presidents before him were responsible as well," he said, referring to the U.S.' nuclear weapons program across the decades.DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR BOMB 24 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN HIROSHIMA'S IS 'SIGNIFICANTLY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE'Trump repeatedly has championed his "peace through strength" vision for the U.S. military, citing that a powerful U.S. military will keep other nations from sparking wars."For at least two decades, political leaders from both parties have dragged our military into missions it was never meant to be," Trump, for example, said during his speech to the graduating class at West Point Military Academy in May. "They sent our warriors on nation-building crusades to nations that wanted nothing to do with us, led by leaders that didnt have a clue in distant lands, while abusing our soldiers with absurd ideological experiments here and at home."He added that those days are over via his peace through strength mission for the military, adding at the time, "My preference will always be to make peace and to seek partnership, even with countries where our differences may be profound."A Disneyland spokesperson told Fox Digital, when asked about the protest doll, that a cast member swiftly removed the doll from the ride attraction when it was first spotted, and reminded the guest of park rules. The activist who placed the doll within the attraction left without incident, according to Disney.Ben & Jerry's, which Cohen and co-founder Jerry Greenfield sold in 2000, has a long history of left-wing politics and social justice activism, including rolling out ice cream flavors such as "Pecan Resist" in 2018 to protest the first Trump administration, and "Change the Whirled" in 2021 that was crafted with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, who was the first sports player to popularize kneeling during the national anthem back in 2016. Cohen, specifically, also has not shied away from participating in public protests, including in May when he was detained after interrupting a Senate hearing focused on aid to Gaza.DISNEY'S 'IT'S A SMALL WORLD' RIDE TO GET NEW SONG LYRICSCohen said he is just beginning a four-year campaign protesting the U.S.' military budget in an effort to get the funds "toward the things that people really want.""Americans are compassionate," he said. "We don't want to kill families just like ours in other countries, we just want a good life for ourselves and our kids. People want a decent place to live that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, good schools, affordable childcare, but they say there's not enough money, and what they don't say is that they're spending it all on preparing to kill literally millions of people around the world."
