Senate Minority LeaderChuck Schumer said Wednesday that he feels "perfectly safe" in Washington, D.C., and that Republicans who say that D.C. is unsafe are "full of it."During an interview with lawyer Aaron Parnas on his podcast, "The Parnas Perspective," Schumer was asked aboutPresident Donald Trumps federalization of D.C.s police force."I want to get your reaction to everything thats happening in D.C.,"Parnas said. "But, first, a lot of folks on the Republican side, your Republican colleagues, say that they are very scared to walk outside in D.C., that they think this is completely the right thing to do. Senator, are you scared walking around Washington, D.C., these days?"SCHUMER GIVES PROFANITY-LACED RESPONSE TO WHETHER DEMS WILL HELP EXTEND DC POLICE TAKEOVER"No," Schumer replied. "I walk around all the time. I wake up early in the morning sometimes and take a nice walk as the sun is rising around some of the Capitol and the other monuments and things. And I feel perfectly safe."On Monday,Trumpannounced that he would be taking control of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department, and deploying 800 National Guard troops to the nation's capital.Schumer went on to slam Republicans for their safety concerns."Theyre full of it," he said. "Look, heres what theyve done, Aaron, plain and simple. Donald Trump wants to distract. Thats his game plan. Its been his MO for his first term in the presidency and now, so he's trying to make this a distraction. Whats he trying to distract from? Well, a lot of things. But above all, Epstein."WASHINGTON POST SOURCE SAYS DC IS SAFE BUT STAYS ANONYMOUS OVER 'PERSONAL SAFETY' CONCERNSSenate Democratshave been pushing for Trump tofully release the documents connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and Trump has told Attorney General Pam Bondi to "produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony" on the subject.Schumer said that Trumps focus on D.C. crime is a distraction tactic."Weve been confronting him on Epstein very successfully left and right, so much so that Johnson had to dismiss, you know, had to send his House home early, and we called it the Epstein recess," Schumer said.He added that Democrats won't let the Epstein issue go when they return from their August recess."We have found an arcane rule that if five members of our Homeland Security Committee demand documents, we should get them," Schumer added. "When I really you know, when I attacked them for sending the Deputy Attorney General, Trumps lawyer, down to interview Ghislaine, they went crazy. Theyre feeling it and were not letting go. When we come back, we are going to have many more things in terms of going after them on the Epstein files. So thats what it is. Its a distraction, plain and simple."Many Democratshave been dismissive of the 47th president's push to crack down on crime in D.C., and have argued that crime in the capital is at a 30-year low.SinceAug. 7, law enforcement officials in Washington, D.C., have arrested over 100 people,including 43 arrests on Tuesday.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Chuck Schumer, another out-of-touch liberal, enjoys the comfort of full-time, taxpayer-funded security details provided by the U.S. Capitol Police," Special Assistant to the President and principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Taylor Swift gave Travis Kelce all the clues he needed on how to be her ideal man.The 35-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer made her podcast debut when she appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast, "New Heights" on Wednesday. When asked why she chose to appear on the podcast, she joked, "This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app."She continued, "This dude didn't get a meet-and-greet, and he's making it everyone's problem. That's what I thought at first... You realize he didn't even reach out to our management. He came with Pat [Mahomes] and he thought that because he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room."Travis, however, credits the Eras Tour for getting them together, saying had he not gone to the show "and been mesmerized" by her on stage, "and then left with such a desire to want to meet you," he would never have spoken about her on the podcast, which is what ultimately led to their relationship. He also shared how being at the show helped figure out how to win her over.TAYLOR SWIFT AND BOYFRIEND TRAVIS KELCE'S SHARED MORAL VALUES SPARKED ORGANIC LOVE STORY"I was sitting there at the Eras Tour listening to every single one of those songs being like, I know exactly what she wants me to do,'" he said. "I'm the luckiest man in the world."Travis famously spoke about seeing Swift in concert on a July 2023 episode of the podcast, and expressed disappointment that he wasn't able to give her a friendship bracelet he had made with his phone number on it. They began dating soon after, and that fall, she was seen at her first Kansas City Chiefs game the rest is history.Swift found Travis' gesture to be "wild," but admitted, "I'm glad it worked.""I was like, 'If this guy's not crazy, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager,'" she said.Swift explained that after Travis "did the full send on the podcast," different people in her life began "whispering in my ear about you," and telling her what a great guy he is. She went on to say the whole situation made her feel like she "was in an 80s John Hughes movie" with someone "standing outside of my window with a boombox saying, I want to date you!"Since they met and began their relationship while she was on tour, a lot of their early relationship moments were spent in foreign countries, but Swift is happy to have some normalcy back in her life."We got to travel the world and have vacations and adventures when I wasn't on stage, which was really fun, because Europe was so fun, Australia's amazing, it was great," she said. "I was on tour for so long, and now I'm finally not on tour, and it's kind of great, because I'm getting my hobbies back."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

"I have a different baking obsession every six months. Right now, we're very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life.""I'm always baking bread and texting my friends like, 'Can I send you some bread? I need some feedback. Do you like this one better than you like the other one? I did the rise a little differently,'" she later added. "I'm on sourdough blogs. There's a whole community of us, and I didn't know it."Both Jason and Travis seem to be enjoying her sourdough phase, with Travis calling himself "a lucky man," and Swift revealing he requested she send him two loaves while he was at training camp.It seems like Travis has even gotten in on the action, with Swift proudly stating he's also baked his own loaf, and, much to Jason's disbelief, it came out good.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"His rose higher than mine," she said about Travis' bread.

Washington, D.C., Police Chief Pamela Smith issued an executive order giving limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities on Thursday.The move comes after the recent federal takeover of the department and the sending of National Guard troops to curb crime and homelessness in the capital.According to the order, Metropolitan Police Department officers can now help with "sharing information about persons not in MPD custody" such as during "traffic stops" and can provide "transportation for federal immigration agency employees and detained subjects," according to NBC 4 Washington.RADICAL DC OFFICIALS TREATED OFFICERS LIKE CRAP, POLICE LEADER SAYS 7 ATTACKS THAT LED TO TRUMP TAKEOVERHowever, the order says personnel cannot "make any inquiry through any database solely for the purpose of inquiring about an individual's immigration status.""Members shall not make inquiries into any person's immigration status for the purpose of determining whether they have violated the civil immigration laws or for the purpose of enforcing civil immigration laws," the order stated."Members shall not arrest individuals based solely on federal immigration warrants or detainers as long as there is no additional criminal warrant or underlying offense for which the individual is subject to arrest," the order continued.I SUPPORT TRUMP TAKING CONTROL OF DC POLICE THE CONSTITUTION IS ON HIS SIDEThe capital is considered a sanctuary city, which Mayor Muriel Bowser tried to get scrapped earlier this year, according to Axios.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE"Excellent news.

The move was prompted in large part by juvenile criminal activity throughout the city in recent months."The Administrations actions are unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. There is no crime emergency in the District of Columbia. Violent crime in DC reached historic 30-year lows last year, and is down another 26% so far this year," D.C.

Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, told comedian Hasan Minhaj on Wednesday that he does not regret saying during a 2019 presidential debate that he would "take away" Americans' AK-47s and AR-15s.During a Democratic primary debate on ABC, O'Rourke made headlines with the following declaration: "Hell yes, were going to take your AR-15, your AK-47, and were not going to allow it to be used against your fellow Americans anymore."Three days later, ORourke appeared on NBC News "Meet the Press," where then-host Chuck Todd pointed out that there was "a lot of hand-wringing" about the then-presidential contenders full-throated call for confiscating such rifles.Appearing on the podcast "Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know" on Wednesday, ORourke was asked whether he regretted making the "extremely unpopular" statement.BETO O'ROURKE COMPARES 2025 AMERICA TO 1933 GERMANY AND 'CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE HISTORY BOOKS'"No," he told Minhaj. "We talked a little bit about this earlier, but you know, 23 people in my community had just been killed because it is perfectly legal in this country to buy an AK-47."The former Texas representative argued that AK-47s were "designed and engineered for use on a battlefield," and that such weapons use "high-impact, high-velocity rounds" that are far more deadly than other ammunition.O'Rourke also made the case for implementing red flag laws for firearms, claiming that they could have prevented the tragic mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, in 2019."That shooter, when the gun came in, his mom called the cops in Allen, Texas, and said, 'Hey, I don't know what's going on. I don't think my son's okay. He just bought an AK-47. Can you help me?'" he explained. "And the cop said, 'Nothing we can do. Perfectly legal. You're on your own. Good luck and goodbye.'"JUDGE BLOCKS BETO O'ROURKE FROM FUNDING TEXAS DEMS WHO FLED TO STOP GOP REDISTRICTING VOTE"You know, some people may think my saying that is crazy. I think what is even crazier is that after what happened in El Paso, it happened again in Midland-Odessa in Texas. After it happened in Midland-Odessa, it happened in Uvalde."Following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in 2022, O'Rourke gave a fiery speech about gun control after being escorted out of a news conference where he confronted Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, over the tragedy.Minhaj asked O'Rourke whether his sentiment that day reflected the "median voter in Texas," or the "median comment" in his social media comment section, because "clearly, the people of Texas don't want this change."The former Texas representative did not directly answer Minhaj's question, but noted that he has been working on finding "common ground" with Republican voters in his state on the issue of gun control.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURECLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News' Talia Kaplan contributed to this report.

A Missouri resident has been infected with a rare brain-eating amoeba, possibly linked to water-skiing in the Lake of Ozarks.The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) confirmed the infection on Wednesday.The unidentified adult is hospitalized in an intensive care unit and being treated for primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a deadly infection caused by Naegleria fowleri, commonly known as the brain-eating amoeba.DEATH CONFIRMED FROM RARE AND DEADLY 'BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA' IN SOUTHERN LAKENo other cases are suspected in the area at this time, the health agency stated in the press release.While the source of the patients exposure has not been confirmed, the DHSS reported that the patient may have been water-skiing in the days leading up to the illness."Recreational water users should assume that Naegleria fowleri is present in warm freshwater across the United States; however, infection remains very rare," the agency stated.Naegleria fowleri can be a risk when swimming in fresh water, as the amoeba can enter through the nose.FOUR PEOPLE DEAD IN FLORIDA FROM FLESH-EATING BACTERIA FOUND IN COASTAL WATERSThe amoeba is most active in the months that the water temperature stays above 77F July, August and September, according to health officials.Infection in humans is very rare, with only 167 reported cases of PAM in the U.S. between 1962 and 2024.The initial symptoms of PAM usually begin about five days after exposure, but they can be noticed sooner.Early signs usuallyinclude headache, nausea, fever and/or vomiting, the CDCs website states.As the infection progresses, people may experience confusion, stiff neck, disorientation, hallucinations, seizures and coma."People usually start to feel ill one to 12 days after water exposure," Tammy Lundstrom, chief medical officer andinfectious disease specialist for Trinity Health in Michigan, previously told Fox News Digital. "Early symptoms should prompt a medical evaluation, as they are also signs ofbacterial meningitis."Death can occur anywhere between one and 18 days of infection, at an average of five days.To prevent potentially fatal infections, health officials recommended taking precautions when swimming in freshwater."Hold your nose shut, use nose clips or keep your head above water when taking part in activities in bodies of warm freshwater, especially if you jump or dive into the water," the Missouri health officials cautioned.Lundstrom reiterated that it's best to avoid immersing your head in the water when swimming in summer."Infection occurs when water harboring the amoeba goes up a persons nose, usually during swimming," she previously told Fox News Digital. "It is not known why some people get infected and others, even swimming companions, do not."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERDrinking contaminated water does not present a risk, and the infection does not spread from one person to another, Lundstrom added.Because the amoeba is found in soil, the CDC also recommends avoiding stirring up the sediment at the bottom of lakes, ponds and rivers.When a patient has been diagnosed with a brain-eating amoeba, treatment usually includes a variety ofantifungal medications, as well as antibiotics like rifampin and azithromycin, according to Lundstrom.Miltefosine, a newer antifungal drug, has been shown to kill Nagleria fowleri in laboratory tests and was used to treat some surviving patients, the CDC states on its website."However, the effect of all of these drugs on actual infected people is unknown due to the high fatality rate," Lundstrom noted.Those who experience sudden headache, fever, stiff neck or vomiting especially if they have recently been swimming in warm freshwater should seek immediatemedical attention, the CDC recommends.For more Health articles, visitfoxnews.com/healthDespite the infections high fatality rate, Lundstrom emphasized the rarity of cases."Millions of people enjoy swimming every summer, but only a few become infected," she said.

New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani traveled uptown to the Bronx on Thursday for the fourth day of his "Five Boroughs Against Trump" tour, arguing that President Donald Trump's administration is hurting small businesses."We are here today on the fourth stop of our five borough tour, to speak about how Bronx sites can not afford the city that they call home, Mamdani said. "That is a struggle that many residents of the Bronx feel individually. It's also a struggle that I know our small businesses are feeling at this moment. From 2020 to 2022, the population of the Bronx dropped by 6.3%. That's more than any other borough in New York City. People are leaving this further, leaving this city because it's too expensive. We are the most expensive city in the United States of America."Throughout the week, Mamdani has connected Trump to his leading competitor in the race, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani in June and is now running as an independent candidate.The theme continued on Thursday as the Mamdani campaign visited Nohble, a small business in the Bronx, where he argued that both Trump and Cuomo have handed "tax breaks to billionaires and megacorporations" throughout their political careers. Meanwhile, Mamdani has made affordability the central message of his campaign.Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which narrowly passed Congress last month, has been widely celebrated by Republicans for extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts and adding deductions on tipped wages and overtime, while reducing spending on Medicaid and clean energy and strengthening border security.MAMDANI TAKES AIM AT TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION POLICIES IN FIERY STATEN ISLAND SPEECH: 'WE ARE FIGHTING TO KEEP NYC A SANCTUARY CITY'But Democrats have been quick to claim that Trump's megabill handed tax breaks to the wealthy while cutting benefits to the most vulnerable a key Democratic message ahead of competitive midterm elections expected in 2026.MAMDANI ZINGS CUOMO IN RENT-STABILIZED HOUSING SPAT DURING ANTI-TRUMP TOUR STOPWhile Republicans argue the bill only cuts waste, fraud and abuse in Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), about 10 million more people will be uninsured by 2034 due to Trump's mega-bill.As national Democrats slam Trump's tax breaks, Mamdani has criticized Cuomo's own record as governor, which includes offering $3 billion in tax breaks for the failed Amazon HQ2 deal in Queens, expanding $420 million-a-year film industry credits and launching "Tax-Free NY" zones to give businesses 10 years without state taxes.Throughout the week, Mamdani has criticized Cuomo following The New York Times report that Trump spoke on the phone with Cuomo about how to defeat Mamdani in November. Meanwhile, Mamdani has described how his administration would be Trump's "worst nightmare.""As we see Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo trip over themselves to reward those who already have a fortune, we will stand up and fight for those that have been forgotten," Mamdani said on Staten Island on Wednesday at an anti-Trump event focused on immigration.Trump made waves on the 2024 presidential campaign trail when he held a rally in the Bronx and then visited a local barber shop in the borough.The focus on deep blue New York City was seen as politically unusual for a Republican candidate, but Trump spent weeks in New York City for his criminal trial and often used the Big Apple as his own personal campaign trail.During the rally, Trump vowed to "turn New York City around," promising to make the city "bigger, better and greater than ever before."The Republican candidate also spoke with voters at Knockout Barbershop in the Bronx, taking questions from locals grappling with economic hardship."We see far too many parallels between Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo, far too many stories that make clear that both administrations have been characterized by corruption, by a sense of impunity, by an inability of an executive to understand that no means no, a prioritization of the interests of billionaires over working people, and an agenda that is driven by little else beyond the retention and accumulation of power," Mamdani said on Monday in Manhattan.The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's comment request, but said on Monday, ahead of Mamdani's first anti-Trump event, "The American people have repeatedly rejected this Communist agenda and the more Mamdani shares his radical policies, the more the American people will recoil."
