A grieving mother is commending President Donald Trump for his mission to make Washington, D.C. safe again after losing her 21-year-old son, who was killed in a senseless shooting.President Donald Trump on Monday announced plans to take control of public safety in Washington, D.C. and is activating the District of Columbia National Guard and seizing control of the Metropolitan Police Department.Tamara Tarpinian-Jachym, whose son Eric was a congressional intern who was killed in a D.C. drive-by shooting in June, says the president is "spot on" in his remarks on making the city safe again.TRUMP TAKES CONTROL OF METRO POLICE, DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO TAKE ON WASHINGTON CRIME"When I heard the news today, and he mentioned my son, not by name, and mentioned the others who have been victims of violent crime, I was so happy and I said, I looked at Eric's ashes, and I said Eric, you haven't died in vain. Things will change so other people are safe when they go visit DC or work in DC and that's my goal, to make people safe," she told "The Story" on Monday.Tamara says she heard there were surveillance cameras from the scene, but they are all grainy and told Fox News that even cabbies were afraid when she was in DC to identify her sons body, saying the area was dangerous at night.No arrests have been made in Eric Tarpinian-Jachym's killing. President Donald Trump said he and first lady Melania Trump were "heartbroken" for the family in a letter sent to Erics parents in July."While we may never fully understand the impact that Eric has had during his meaningful life, we know he will be remembered for his kindness, faithfulness, and devotion to your family and his many friends," Trump wrote in the letter. "He will also be remembered for his commitment to our country. I know how proud Congressman Estes was to have Eric represent his office, the people of Kansas' Fourth Congressional District, and our Nation."Tamara Tarpinian-Jachym said she still has many unanswered questions about Eric's death."I know nothing. I know about what's happening," she lamented. "I don't know exactly how many bullets hit my son. All I know is from what the death certificate says, several bullet wounds. I don't know where he was hit, but I have an idea. I know nothing and maybe that's for the better, so they can catch this person or these persons. I am praying it will happen."The grieving mother expressed satisfaction in the work of Judge Jeanine Pirro, the new U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, on the case, expressing a desire to find the perpetrator so the person pays the price for their crime."She doesn't pull punches. She's for victims and I respect that woman and I respected what she told me, It's going to take a long time, Mrs. Jachym. We're going to do our dual diligence and I believe her. She is for victims," Tamara said.Tamara said people should be able to walk around the city and not be fearful of being shot at, mugged or raped."The interns are from other parts of the country. They didn't know how dangerous D.C. was. It was like a well-kept secret, if you want my honest opinion."

It was mid-July. And the House of Representatives was already done for the summer.Thats right around the same time Halloween decorations like gigantic yard skeletons and Reeses peanut butter and chocolate pumpkins began materializing in stores.Those werent phantasms. Halloween is the next big consumer holiday on the calendar.I mean, what would you buy to decorate for Labor Day?But theres a spooky alignment between July and Halloween when it comes to Congress. If you begin to see Halloween paraphernalia in July, thats practically October in Capitol Hill terms. The reason? Congress didnt finish its annual spending bills before the annual August recess and that means it will be a sprint to finish them by October 1, the deadline to avoid a government shutdown.GRIDLOCK CRUMBLES AS SENATE ADVANCES SPENDING BILLS IN RACE AGAINST SHUTDOWNRight around the same time that the rest of the nation starts thinking about ghosts and goblins for Halloween.The funding deadline is enough to convert the U.S. Capitol into a chamber of horrors for the entire month of September. Congress is always dragging to complete spending measures in July. Then August comes and concerns about the spending bills vanish like a ghost. Then the appropriations bills rise like mummies out of their coffins when Congress comes back in September. The battle over averting a government shutdown is like a vampire. It sucks most other legislative activity out of Congress until theres a deal. Thats because most Members want no part of a government shutdown. Lawmakers from both sides know that government funding is one of the most important inflection points on the political calendar.Lets examine where we stand with government funding.Congress approved a stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown in March. That interim spending package funded the government through September 30, the end of the federal fiscal year. The House approved the bill. But lawmakers worried about a potential government shutdown because breaking a filibuster on the measure required 60 votes. That entailed support of some Democrats since Republicans only have 53 votes in the Senate.At the last minute, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced he would help Republicans crack the filibuster. Schumer didnt vote yes on the bill itself. But the New York Democrat argued that avoiding a shutdown at that point was better than enduring one under President Trump and Elon Musk who was then fully empowered at DOGE.Some longtime Capitol Hill hands and Congressional observers feared the government might shutter for a lengthy period if it closed. Schumer and other Democrats asserted that the President and Musk would use that as justification for never re-opening some parts of the government since they lacked funding from Congress.Progressives excoriated Schumer for not extracting a major concession from President Trump and Congressional Republicans which reflected Democratic values and priorities. Liberals used Schumers decision as justification to demand new Democratic leadership in the Senate. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., appeared to seethe at Schumers maneuver, sidestepping questions from reporters about the break.White House Budget Director Russ Vought says he wants a less bipartisan appropriations process. Thats fine. But this is about the math. House Republicans must stick together to pass any spending package there. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can only lose three votes and still pass a bill without Democratic assistance. Likewise, Senate Republicans can only lose three votes there, too. But the real hurdle is the filibuster. Thats where 60 votes are necessary. And that means the GOP must lean on Democrats assuming theyre willing to help out.HILLARY RIPPED AS 'MASSIVE LIAR' AFTER SCATHING REACTION TO TRUMP'S PLAN TO FIX DC CRIMEIt's really unclear if Republicans can stick together to approve a spending package. Keep in mind that its almost a certainty that any spending measure must simply renew all current funding on a temporary basis. A lot of Republicans are fed up with this appropriations rut especially since Johnson promised to do things differently once he claimed the Speakers gavel in October 2023. Remember that some conservatives helped bounce former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., less than two years ago because he propounded an interim spending plan.Some Republicans are beginning to lose patience with Johnson on spending plans. But remember that most Republicans will support whatever appropriations plan the GOP brass concocts as long as it has the blessing of President Trump.So Vought may advocate for a more partisan process. But that wont result in policy achievements and GOP spending priorities unless Republicans convince Democrats to play ball.Heres another dynamic: some members of the conservative Freedom Caucus are hinting they simply want to re-up the current levels of funding again. Yes, lawmakers approved those spending plans under President Biden and a Democratic Senate. Therefore, much of the federal government is still operating under Democratic spending blueprints. But Democrats would demand more money for the next spending round. The same with some Republicans. So voting to renew the old money regardless of who pushed for it is less than Congress could have spent. Thats why some Freedom Caucus members suggest this would serve as a de facto spending cut.Theyre not wrong. Federal spending is almost always on an upward trajectory. This would level things off and bend the annual spending curve for the first time in decades.TRUMP FIRES BACK AT 'SQUAD' MEMBER WHO CALLED HIM A 'PIECE OF S---' AT RALLYSo, if your goal is to trim funding, this may be the most plausible option under the present political circumstances.Remember, its about the math.Moreover, Republicans have only approved a pittance of the funding cuts demanded by DOGE. Congress passed a bill to slash $9 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and foreign aid. Thats not a lot. And Republicans could barely approve that bill. How they rescind other funding remains to be seen. However, Republicans could greenlight all the old money and then promise budget hawks they will attempt to claw back other tranches of spending through future recissions packages later in the fall or winter.But Democrats wont go for that. Theyd view that as Republicans dropping a Hersheys bar in their trick or treat bag and then exchanging it for a rock.Its unclear if Democrats have explored soaping the Republicans windows at the Capitol this fall if Republicans attempt that gambit. But this could be a chance to find out.That brings us to the conundrum facing Schumer. One might question how the politics have changed since March although President Trump and Musk are no longer in league with one another. But progressives will expect Schumer to demand a kings ransom in exchange for Democratic votes breaking a filibuster.In other words, both Johnson and Schumer face decisions of frightening proportions very soon.It may seem as though October 1 is a long way down the calendar. Its not. To ignore how complicated this may become is the legislative equivalent of whistling past the graveyard.

A tourist from New York was killed while visiting Puerto Rico for a Bad Bunny concert, according to police.25-year-old Kevin Mares was shot in the left side of his abdomen early Sunday morning in the La Perla area of San Juan, Puerto Rico, which has a history of violence. The shooting took place in the early morning hours on Sunday at a night hangout spot called "Refuge for Mistreated Men" in the coastal community.Several people who were near Mares got into an argument, resulting in one person pulling out a gun and shooting at least three others, which included the New Yorker. Mares was taken to a local hospital but died, homicide detective Sgt. Arnaldo Ruiz said.Two other people, a brother and sister in their mid-40s, remain in the hospital.20 YEARS AFTER NATALEE HOLLOWAY VANISHED, SUSPECTS CONFESSION STILL LEAVES QUESTIONS: PIRuiz said Mares was in San Juan to see Bad Bunny perform in concert, where his 30-show residency recently began.Officials don't have many details from the shooting and don't yet have a description of the suspect."We have very little information," Ruiz said.La Perla was once known as a major distribution hub for heroin, which brought high rates of violence to the area. In 2011, federal agents raided the shantytown and made dozens of arrests.POLICE INVESTIGATE VESSEL WITH 11 DECOMPOSED BODIES WASHED ASHORE IN CARIBBEANA GoFundMe raising money for Mares' funeral describes him as a "deeply loved son, devoted friend, and a source of inspiration to everyone who knew him.""His wholehearted kindness, adventurous spirit, and unwavering commitment to family made him a pillar of strength for his loved ones. Kevin had a bright future ahead, with plans to propose to his girlfriend of six years this fall, and he was always creating memories with those closest to him," Mares said. "Family was at the center of everything he did, and his sudden passing has left an unfillable void in our lives."The Associated Press contributed to this report.

An MSNBC contributor had a strong reaction on Monday to President Donald Trumps announcement that his administration would take over the Washington, D.C. police department, and claimed that the president was trying to distract from the Epstein story."Im trying to hold my temper you have to understand this within the context of Donald Trumps racial politics and within the context of his effort to get Epstein off the front pages," MSNBC commentator Eddie Glaude said.Trump announced that he was sending 800 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., and putting the districts police department under federal control on Monday. He also announced federal legislation to end the practice of no-cash bail, which allows judges to send suspects home from jail without them paying bail.The Metropolitan Police Departments 3,400 officers will be under the command of DEA administrator Terry Cole. The National Guard troops will be commanded by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced. Trump vowed to remove homeless encampments popping up around the city and have the U.S. Park Police remove graffiti in the nations capital.TRUMP'S PLAN TO DEPLOY NATIONAL GUARD IN DC SPARKS BACKLASH FROM RESIDENTSBUT SOME WELCOME IT"He really doesn't really care about what's actually happening in D.C. On a certain level because he's not trying to get at the underlying root causes," Glaude continued.The president is allowed to federalize local D.C. police for up to 30 days in the event of an emergency, according to the Home Rule Act which granted the nations capital self-governing rights in 1973. Congress can lengthen the presidents emergency powers through a joint resolution."Watch them, the police are standing, and they're told not to do anything under any search or this, and you can see they want to get at it. And they're standing there and people are spitting in their face, and they are not allowed to do anything, but now they are allowed to do whatever the hell they want," Trump said.Trump has long railed against what he sees as out-of-control crime in the nations capital. Metropolitan Police Department data shows that while the homicide rate is falling, the last five years saw the greatest number of murders since 2008.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREGlaude, a professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, claimed that Trumps announcement was just an attempt to throw "red meat" to his base in an attempt to distract them from the Jeffrey Epstein case.Epstein, a former longtime friend of Trump, former President Bill Clinton and other high-profile individuals, killed himself in federal prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking of minors charges. Many in the MAGA world have demanded the release of the so-called "Epstein files," while Trump has dismissed the affair as "pretty boring stuff" and denounced the "past supporters" agitating around it.

Despite Democratic lawmakers fleeing and holding up vital relief efforts, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbotts flood relief was faster than California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsoms response to the L.A. wildfires.This weekend, Abbott helped to present more than 60 of the families most impacted by the catastrophic floods in the Texas Hill Country with $25,000 relief checks, which the governor called an initial "down payment" on the relief still incoming.In an interview with Fox News Digital, Abbott explained the funds were a result of Texas partnering with country music legend George Strait and other private groups to ensure that funds raised by the star went straight to those who suffered the worst damage.Abbott said that both he and Strait agreed there is a "need for speed to help these people as quickly as possible."ABBOTT VOWS INDEFINITE SPECIAL SESSIONS, SAYS FLEEING DEMS COULD FACE ARREST FOR LITERALLY YEARS"We've seen in other states when there's been travesties that occurred there, like the fires in California, and so much money was raised and never has gotten to the people who needed it, we want to make sure that did not happen in the state of Texas," Abbott explained."There has been an outpouring of support to Texas organizations to help the people of this state," he added. "Now our job is to make sure it gets into the hands of the people who need it the most."This comes just over a month after much of central Texas suffered a devastating flood that killed over 100 and decimated homes and businesses.In response to the suffering, Strait, a Texas native, held a concert on July 27 to raise funds for those most impacted. Just two weeks later, victims are already receiving relief checks from the concert.Abbott said that Strait was insistent that "he was doing this for one reason, because he was sick and tired of the people who've been damaged and harmed the most by the storm are not getting the money they need."CALIFORNIA LAUNCHES REDISTRICTING FIGHT TO NULLIFY TEXAS GOP PLAN, WITH DEMS POISED TO GAIN 5 SEATS"So, what we did we set up an operation to make sure we were able to identify who sustained the worst damage, then make sure that they would be on the receiving end of these checks," he explained.Straits concert closely resembles a similar star-studded benefit concert, titled "FireAid," in California that raised more than $100 million for victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles.FireAid billed itself as "a benefit concert for wildfire victims." Aside from music by the likes of Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry and Olivia Rodrigo, the five-hour show featured multiple stories from victims of the Altadena and Palisades fire who had lost their homes.Fox News Digital reported in July that six months later, victims in the citys most impacted neighborhoods still had not received any direct funds raised by the concert.In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for FireAid told Fox News Digital that "to most effectively deliver aid to the community as quickly as possible, we partnered with vetted and trusted local nonprofits who had the capacity and infrastructure to directly reach the individuals in need."The spokesperson said "this assistance provided food security, housing, resources for schools and more directly to individuals in the affected communities."TRUMP AND NEWSOM FIGHT OVER NATIONAL GUARD HEADS TO TRIAL IN CALIFORNIAThey said that to date, FireAid has "distributed two rounds of funding totaling close to $75 million to organizations helping people on the ground and expect to distribute the remaining $25 million by the end of the year.""The funds address the urgent needs from individuals in our communities from immediate financial assistance, to childcare, groceries, mental health and housing and rebuilding public spaces as well as fire prevention. The grants have been distributed to more than 160 frontline nonprofits, schools, and local organizations which were identified and selected by FireAid," said the spokesperson.Abbott claimed that several factors have made Texas response to the flooding disaster very different from Californias."It starts with generosity but the second thing is we don't let things slow us down. We are very empathetic with those who have lost their homes, who've had their lives turned upside down, who are trying to get back into their homes," he said. "So, we were able to cut through all the red tape and make sure that the money got into the hands of those who needed it the most."He went on to say that "now we're working with the local governments to make sure these people are going to be able to take these dollars, these resources, and actually begin that construction process to get their homes rebuilt."This comes despite the governors ongoing showdown with Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives, who fled the state and brought the legislatures efforts to pass new flood relief measures to a grinding halt. The Democrats fled the state in protest of redistricting plans that would potentially give Republicans five additional seats in Congress.GOV. GREG ABBOTT THREATENS TO REDISTRICT 8 SEATS FOR GOP IF DEM LAWMAKERS DON'T RETURN TO TEXASThe governor and other state leaders, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and House Leader Dustin Burrows, both Republicans, have filed legal action to arrest the rogue lawmakers and have threatened to remove them from their offices. Thus far, however, the Democrats have been able to evade Texas authorities and hold up any progress by denying the state House the necessary quorum to pass legislation."We're able to give that to the victims, even though we have Democrats who've fled the state and been dishonorable to our state," said Abbott, adding, "One thing about Texans is we stand and fight if we have principles we want to fight on. And what these Democrats have done, they fled the state, and that's very un-Texan on their part."He went on to say that "well get the financial resources to those who need it, but also we're working to provide greater assistance for them in the meantime.""That said, there are laws that need to be passed, such as creating early warning systems, such as making sure we change what the rules are in the flood zones, and things like that. That's going to require these Democrats showing back up and casting a vote," he explained.WATCH: TRUMP SAYS FBI 'MAY HAVE TO' HELP TEXAS ROUND UP AWOL DEM LAWMAKERS"Know that the gears of government to improve the response to this disaster are being slowed down and denied because Democrats are not showing up and doing their job," he went on. "So, despite the fact that we have a bunch of cowardly Democrats who turned tail and ran out of state and right here to do their job, my main focus that I put my time and attention to is helping out the flood victims of this tragedy to make sure they're getting the resources they need and so we can accelerate the rebuilding process to get their lives back to normal as quickly as possible."A spokesperson for Newsoms office directed Fox News Digital to a press conference he held with several Texas Democrats, including state Rep. Ann Johnson, who claimed during the event that Democratic lawmakers "waited to address that issue" of flood relief for two weeks but that "they only put one bill up for us to debate in the House and it was redistricting.""We have an arrest warrant for us to go back to Texas for one bill only. They dont want us to come back for flooding," said Johnson.She accused Republicans of "using those families as a distraction," saying, "the governor can write a check right now to try to start the process and so its his decision whats valuable to him."Johnson suggested that Democrats "will gladly show up" to address flooding, school testing, human trafficking or court infrastructure but not for the redistricting vote.Fox News Digital also reached out to the Texas House Democratic Caucus for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick, appeared to fire back at criticism from sports podcasters who opened up about their interaction with her.Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill, the co-hosts of "The Sports Gossip Show," recently revealed they spoke to Hudson about coming onto their show and that she introduced herself as "the president of your universe."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAmid the descriptions of how the call went down, Hudson shared critical feedback of the episode in which Wilder and Hill described the conversation with Hudson as tension filled."This was such a disappointing take for me," the Instagram user sportslawheather wrote on their Instagram Stories.

It started a firestorm of criticism toward Hudson and Belichick.But Belichick has made clear that Hudson has no role in the football program."Thats really off to the side. Thats a personal relationship and she doesnt have anything to do with UNC football," Belichick told ESPN back in May."Im excited to be back in the coaches meetings and getting ready for June and August when we get to training camp. June will be a big recruiting month for us and then August we start getting ready for the season."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A Democratic whistleblower told the FBI that Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information in order to discredit President Donald Trump, according to newly-released documents.The documents, which were obtained by Just The News, were recently handed over to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel.The whistleblower reportedly worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for over ten years, and reported Schiff's alleged behavior to the FBI in 2017.According to the report, the intelligence staffer called the leaking "treasonous" and "illegal," in addition to being unethical. He was most recently interviewed by the FBI in 2023.COULD SENATOR ADAM SCHIFF REALLY GO TO JAIL OVER ALLEGED MORTGAGE FRAUD?The staffer also said that he personally attended a meeting where Schiff greenlit the leak."When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF," the documents state, per Just The News."In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.""[The whistleblower] stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured that they would not be caught leaking classified information," the report added.TRUMP-FOE ADAM SCHIFF DISMISSES TULSI GABBARD'S DECLASSIFIED RUSSIA COLLUSION INTELLIGENCE AS 'DISHONEST'John Solomon, who co-authored the piece with Just The News' Jerry Dunleavy, appeared on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" to discuss the report."This is the first of several major leak investigations we're going to see over the next several days," Solomon said. "You're going to see other major people that were clearly identified by the FBI, having leaked classified secrets.""Their own staff turned them in when interviewed by the FBI. Nothing, again, happened," he added. "It's a common pattern. The question now is, in Donald Trump's Justice Department, does that dynamic change?"Soon after the report was published, Patel shared it on X, saying that the FBI "found it [and] declassified it.""Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives - and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people," Patel's post read.Fox News Digital's Brooke Curto contributed to this report.

Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was cited for driving 100 mph during the early hours of Saturday following the teams preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.Garrett, who didnt suit up in the win over the Panthers on the road Friday night, was reportedly stopped for going 100 mph in a 60 mph zone in Strongsville, Ohio, which is just outside the teams facility in Berea, per Cleveland.coms Mary Kay Cabot.The Browns had just landed in the Cleveland area after flying back from Charlotte before Garrett was pulled over where he was "presumably on his way home," according to the report.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMGarrett was given a $250 ticket, which he can pay without going to court.The Browns are aware of the incident, and they will reportedly address it in Philadelphia ahead of the teams second preseason game against the Super Bowl-champion Eagles.BROWNS GM CALLS OUT SHEDEUR SANDERS OVER SPEEDING TICKETS: 'NOT SMART'Garrett has been cited for speeding in the past, with this being the eighth time in the Cleveland area since he was selected first overall in 2017.Also, Garrett flipped his Porsche in 2022 while speeding before trying to avoid an animal.
