ATLANTA, GA - EXCLUSIVE - Joe Gruters, a longtime ally of President Trump, was voted in as the next Republican National Committee (RNC) chair on Friday.RNC committee members elected Gruters - who had the backing of President Donald Trump - as chair, as they finished up business at their summer meeting, which they are holding this year in battleground Georgia's capital and biggest city.Gruters, a Florida state senator, RNC committee member from the Sunshine State, the national party committee's treasurer, and a longtime Trump ally, succeeded chair Michael Whatley, who stepped down as he runs for the Senate in North Carolina in the blockbuster race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Thom Tillis.Gruters, in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, emphasized that "this is the president's party. This is the president's vision, overall. The party fully embraces the president, and we're gonna ride the president all the way to victory in the midterms, and we are going to win big."TRUMP BACKED RNC CHAIR JUMPS INTO BLOCKBUSTER SENATE BATTLEAnd Whatley, joining Gruters in the interview, said that during his tenure as chair "we have transformed the RNC, basically the way that President Trump has transformed the Republican Party. And we are now the party of the working-class men and women all across this country."Trump, as he endorsed Whatley in the North Carolina Senate race a month ago, praised Gruters."I have somebody who will do a wonderful job as the Chairman of the RNC," Trump wrote in a social media post. "His name is, Joe Gruters, and he will have my Complete and Total Endorsement."The president called Gruters, who co-chaired Trump's 2016 campaign in Florida, a "Fierce Advocate for our Movement" and a "MAGA warrior who has been with us from the very beginning."And Trump said that the 48-year-old Gruters, who served as Florida GOP chair from 2019 to 2023, had "helped us deliver massive and historic Victories across the state."RNC CHAIR SAYS BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL FRONT-AND-CENTER IN GOP'S MIDTERM PUSHAn RNC insider, pointing to the surge in Republican voter registration in Florida during Gruters' tenure as state party chair, said that he was instrumental in turning "a very purple state into a ruby-red state and that's what he's going to bring across the country.""He has won Republican races, gotten out the vote, and protected the vote in Florida," the insider, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, said.The ascension of Gruters to RNC chair is the latest sign of Trump's complete control over the national party committee."The Republican Party is united under President Trump," the insider told Fox News. "It's a stark contrast to the Democrat Party, which can't raise money and is ruddlerless."Following his election as president in 2016, Trump chose then-Michigan GOP chair Ronna McDaniel as RNC chair, and supported her re-election in 2019 and again in 2021. Then-former President Trump stayed neutral as McDaniel won election to an unprecedented fourth two-year term at the beginning of 2023.But Trump, souring on McDaniel, orchestrated her ouster a little over a year later and backed Whatley as her replacement. Whatley was elected chair at an RNC meeting in Houston in March of last year, as Trump cruised towards clinching the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was elected co-chair.DNC CHAIR TELLS FOX NEWS DIGITAL DEMOCRATS HAVE HIT ROCK BOTTOM - HERE'S HIS PLAN TO REBOUNDWhatley and the RNC, working in coordination with Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, helped steer the party to last November's electoral victories, as the GOP won back the White House and the Senate, and held on to its fragile majority in the House.This year, with the party in control of the White House and Congress, the RNC has enjoyed robust fundraising and currently holds a large cash-on-hand lead over the rival Democratic National Committee, as both parties ramp up for next year's midterm elections.Whatley announced his Senate bid on July 31, four days after Democrats landed their top recruit, former two-term Gov. Roy Cooper."President Trump deserves an ally, and North Carolina deserves a strong conservative voice in the Senate," Whatley emphasized as he spoke to a crowd of family, friends and supporters as he declared his candidacy. "I will be that voice."The Senate race in battleground North Carolina is expected to be one of the most expensive and competitive in the country, as the GOP defends its 53-47 majority in the chamber."We will be the most expensive Senate race in the history of the country," Whatley told Fox News Digital. "But, look, we will be able to raise the resources we need to tell our story, and we are going to work all 100 counties here across North Carolina to be able to tell our story.Gruters, an accountant who has spent a nearly a decade in the Florida legislature, is close with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, a fellow Floridian who was co-campaign manager of Trump's 2024 presidential bid.And Gruters has often clashed with the state's two-term Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.Gruters backed Trump over DeSantis in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, R-Va, appeared on "Fox & Friends" on Friday to break down why her state is at risk of losing federal funding over transgender bathrooms.Earle-Sears, who is currently running for governor of Virginia as a Republican, told Fox News' Brian Kilmeade that she stands in solidarity with parents against transgender school policies, and explained why it's so important that schools in her state abandon transgender ideology and abide by federal law.Kilmeade asked Earle-Sears why some Virginia schools are struggling to understand President Donald Trump's executive order signed earlier this year, which barred transgender students from participating in sports outside their birth-assigned gender and from using locker rooms of the opposite sex.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THREATENS TO PULL FEDERAL FUNDS FROM VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN GENDER POLICY DISPUTE"Virginia doesn't have trouble understanding that our young girls ought to be safe undressing in their locker rooms and not having biological men, a full-frontal nude in front of them. Andby the way, boys have the same rights," she replied. "Virginia doesn't have any issue with that. It is these five Northern Virginia schools that are having some sort of... issue, understanding that safety means safety and education is what they're supposed to be about, not about these other issues."Earle-Sears added that "parents don't send their children to school not being safe," and told teachers in Virginia to "do your job" and teach students about reading, writing, and arithmetic.The gubernatorial hopeful asserted that she is working tirelessly to "protect everyone's children" and prevent five of her state's schools from losing federal funding due to their noncompliance with federal laws pertaining to transgender ideology.VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS SUPPORT FOR TRANSGENDER STUDENTS' RIGHTS IN GOVERNOR'S RACE SPOTLIGHT"They're all children. They're vulnerable. And our young girls are most vulnerable when they're nude in the locker room, when they're nude in the bathrooms," she stated.Earle-Sears detailed a specific case in which a transgender student in Virginia sexually assaulted another student, but instead of facing consequences, they were simply sent to another school in the state where they repeated the same offense."We've had schools up here, one school in particular, who is found to be one of the violators of Title IX, where they had a boy dressed as a girl, biological male dressed as a girl, in the bathrooms, raped one child, didn't tell the parent, didn't say anything to any of the other parents, and sent him on his way to reassign him to another school, where he summarily proceeded to rape another young girl," she explained. "All in this issue about biological men in a girl's bathroom. This is nonsense. And my opponent will not come forward and say anything."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREEarle-Sears' opponent, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., recently condemned a poster raised at a protest outside an Arlington County school board meeting. The sign, which read, "Hey Winsome, if trans cant share your bathroom, then Blacks cant share my water fountain," went viral on social media and drew widespread outrage over its racial messaging, particularly since Earle-Sears is Black.Spanberger called the poster "racist, abhorrent and unacceptable," but Earle-Sears felt that her response should have been stronger.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"A very weak response from a very weak person who we know cannot lead Virginia as governor," she asserted. "She's finally come out of hiding when she should have a long time ago come out and defended so many things that are so wrong, and she's been absent."

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized on Thursday what she said were the "recent tendencies" of the Supreme Court to side with the Trump administration, providing her remarks in a bitter dissent in a case related to National Institutes of Health grants.Jackson, a Biden appointee, rebuked her colleagues for "lawmaking" on the shadow docket, where an unusual volume of fast, preliminary decisionmaking has taken place related to the hundreds of lawsuits President Donald Trumps administration has faced."This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins," Jackson wrote.The liberal justice pointed to the Oxford English Dictionarys definition of Calvinball, which describes it as the practice of applying rules inconsistently for self-serving purposes.WHY JUSTICE JACKSON IS A FISH OUT OF WATER ON THE SUPREME COURTJackson, the high court's most junior justice, said the majority "[bent] over backwards to accommodate" the Trump administration by allowing the NIH to cancel about $783 million in grants that did not align with the administration's priorities.Some of the grants were geared toward research on diversity, equity and inclusion; COVID-19; and gender identity. Jackson argued the grants went far beyond that and that "life-saving biomedical research" was at stake."So, unfortunately, this newest entry in the Courts quest to make way for the Executive Branch has real consequences, for the law and for the public," Jackson wrote.The Supreme Court's decision was fractured and only a partial victory for the Trump administration.TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE STRIKES DOWN ANTI-DEI MEASURES FROM EDUCATION DEPARTMENTIn a 5-4 decision greenlighting, for now, the NIH's existing grant cancellations, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the three liberal justices. In a second 5-4 decision that keeps a lower court's block on the NIH's directives about the grants intact, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, sided with Roberts and the three liberals. The latter portion of the ruling could hinder the NIH's ability to cancel future grants.The varying opinions by the justices came out to 36 pages total, which is lengthy relative to other emergency rulings. Jacksons dissent made up more than half of that.George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley observed in an op-ed last month a rise in "rhetoric" from Jackson, who garnered a reputation as the most vocal justice during oral arguments upon her ascension to the high court."The histrionic and hyperbolic rhetoric has increased in Jackson's opinions, which at times portray her colleagues as abandoning not just the Constitution but democracy itself," Turley said.Barrett had sharp words for Jackson in a recent highly anticipated decision in which the Supreme Court blocked lower courts from imposing universal injunctions on the government. Barrett accused Jackson of subscribing to an "imperial judiciary" and instructed people not to "dwell" on her colleague's dissent.Barrett, the lone justice to issue the split decision in the NIH case, said challenges to the grants should be brought by the grant recipients in the Court of Federal Claims.But Barrett said "both law and logic" support that the federal court in Massachusetts does have the authority to review challenges to the guidance the NIH issued about grant money. Barrett joined Jackson and the other three in denying that portion of the Trump administrations request, though she said she would not weigh in at this early stage on the merits of the case as it proceeds through the lower courts.Jackson was dissatisfied with this partial denial of the Trump administration's request, saying it was the high courts way of preserving the "mirage of judicial review while eliminating its purpose: to remedy harms."

Longtime Republican consultant Roger Stone lambasted Trump adviser-turned-staunch-critic John Bolton following the FBI raid on his Bethesda, Maryland residence on Friday."Good morning. John Bolton. How does it feel to have your home raided at 6 o'clock in the morning?" Stone riffed on X, six years after the Biden FBI raided his own Fort Lauderdale home in an operation to which CNN was reportedly tipped off to."Wait! Where was CNN?" added Stone, who has often criticized Republicans who become disloyal to President Donald Trump."What goes around comes around- and Roger Stone still did nothing wrong," he said, quoting the catchphrase and shirts that were circulated after his 2019 raid.JOHN BOLTON'S HOME AND OFFICE RAIDED BY FEDERAL AGENTSStone, who began his political career volunteering for 1964 presidential nominee Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., before moving on to advising President Richard Nixon, also posted a photo of himself from his arrest wearing a "Roger Stone Did Nothing Wrong" shirt.Stone continued his critique of Bolton later Friday morning with another X post that included a split photo of the two men:"The man on the left had his home rated at 6 am because he did something wrong. The man on the right had his home raided at 6 am because he didn't. Karma is b----."BIDEN DOJ DROPS LAWSUIT AGAINST JOHN BOLTON OVER 2020 BOOK RELEASEHe later released a mock statement claiming Bolton admitted his signature mustache was "appropriated from a member of the Village People."Bolton, who held diplomatic posts under Presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush before joining President Donald Trumps first administration, later broke with Trump over his handling of COVID-19, his approach to diplomacy, and the impeachment saga.Trump often returned fire at Bolton after their messy breakup, and Stone occasionally chimed in to defend his longtime friend from New York.After Bolton attacked Trumps choice of Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, calling her a "serious threat to national security" Stone returned fire.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Watching war pig John Bolton attack the appointment of Tulsi Gabbard as DNI makes me all the more certain that she is precisely the right person for the job," Stone said in November.After the raid on Boltons home, FBI agents were also seen in DuPont Circle, D.C., removing boxes from the Baltimore natives personal office.

President Donald Trump seemed to hint at the possibility of taking his D.C. crime crackdown to Chicago."After we do this will go to another location, and we'll make it safe, also. We're going to make our country very safe," he said when speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday. "We're going to make our cities very, very safe. Chicago's a mess."Trump called Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson "grossly incompetent" and said his administration would handle the windy city next. He also said the people of Chicago were "screaming" for federal assistance in cutting down the crime rate."We'll straighten that one out probably next," he added. "That'll be our next one after this and it won't even be tough."This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

TheNFL has increased security at its offices after a lone gunman opened fire at the league's headquarters in New York City last month, killing four people and injuring one league employee.NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Miller confirmed the new security measures toOutKick, adding that the league is "working with the building and tenants within the building on building security.""We're very lucky that our security chief, Cathy Lanier, the former police chief in Washington, D.C., has tremendous experience in this space and that we have terrific partners in the building as we look for ways to make it even more secure than it was before."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFour people were killed, and a fifth was wounded inside the 345 Park Avenue building on July 28 when investigators say Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas, opened fire while trying to get to the NFL offices. The building also houses the headquarters of Blackstone.One NFL employee was reportedly shot in the lobby during the attack. He attempted to contact co-workers to warn them of the active shooter before calling 911."The NFL is deeply grateful for the global outpouring of support following the tragic act of violence at theNew York City building that houses our league office among other organizations," the league said in its first statement regarding the attack.NFL ADVISES TEAMS TO ENHANCE SECURITY AFTER DEADLY MIDTOWN OFFICE SHOOTING: REPORT"We honor the four innocent lives lost, including NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, whose heroism will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with the survivors as they begin the difficult journey of physical and emotional recovery."Earlier this month, the NFL reportedly sent a memo to all 32 teams advising them to enhance security following the deadly shooting.Among the recommendations was the proposal to have armed law enforcement or security officers at team and league buildings when players or staff are present. Another recommendation was weapons screenings at those locations."The Committee recognizes that these changes will affect day-to-day operations and require an investment of time, coordination, and resources," the memo said, according to ESPN.

Scientists at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) may have discovered a cause of aging in the brain.The culprit is a protein called ferritin light chain 1 (FTL1), described as an iron-associated protein identified as a "pro-aging neuronal factor that impairs cognition."The study, published in the journal Nature Aging, compared how genes and proteins in the hippocampus the region of the brain responsible for learning and memory changed over time in old and young mice.WHAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE TO 100 YEARS OLD HAVE IN COMMON, ACCORDING TO SCIENCEAged mice had a higher amount of FTL1, as well as fewer brain cell connections in the hippocampus and diminished cognitive abilities, according to a UCSF press release.When FTL1 was artificially increased in young mice, their brains began to mimic the brains and behaviors of old mice.When the protein was decreased in the old mice, they "regained their youth," had more nerve cell connections and performed better on memory tests.FTL1 also slowed down metabolism in the hippocampus cells of old mice.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe researchers discovered, however, that treating these cells with a metabolism stimulation compound prevented these effects.Saul Villeda, PhD, associate director of the UCSF Bakar Aging Research Institute and senior author of the paper, said he considers these findings a "reversal of impairment.""Its much more than merely delaying or preventing symptoms," he said in a press release statement."Were seeing more opportunities to alleviate the worst consequences of old age. Its a hopeful time to be working on the biology of aging."Dr. Paul Saphier, a neurosurgeon and founder of Coaxial Neurosurgical Specialists in New Jersey, called these findings "really interesting" in an interview with Fox News Digital."There is no doubt that as proteins accumulate in various parts of the brain, certain neurodegenerative disorders occur," he said. "Alzheimers disease is directly linked to a build-up of amyloid proteins within the brain.""If there is a mechanism by which we can slow and/or reverse the build-up of this FTL1 protein in the hippocampus, which is the main memory center of the brain, it stands to reason that we may improve/enhance cognition."Previous research has shown that modulating sugar and protein can reduce the rate of aging, Saphier pointed out.For more Health articles, visitfoxnews.com/health."I support this research and am certain there is ultimately going to be a breakthrough in this area," he added.The study was supported in part by the National Science Foundation, the Bakar Aging Research Institute and the National Institute on Aging.

FIRST ON FOX: The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine a largely taxpayer-funded body that has taken in hundreds of millions in federal dollars is facing pushback for fast-tracking a climate review that critics say is an attempt to undermine the Trump administration's energy agenda.Earlier this month, Politico reported that NASEM is using "internal funding" to pay for a review that will be released in September in order to "inform" the Environmental Protection Agency'smove to rescind the Obama-era greenhouse gas endangerment finding, a cornerstone of climate regulation that conservatives say has strangled American energy production.That effort is being led by molecular biologist Shirley M. Tilghman who, in addition to being a member of NASEM, serves as an External Science Advisor to the Science Philanthropy Alliance, a group tied to the progressive consulting behemoth Arabella Advisors through the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit that pushes a variety of progressive causes.Critics tell Fox News Digital they have concerns about the timing of this move and the possible political motives attached to the fast-tracked review.EPA ANNOUNCES 23% WORKFORCE REDUCTION AND CLOSURE OF RESEARCH OFFICE AS PART OF FEDERAL STREAMLINING"NASEM's decision to do a fast-track study on greenhouse gas emissions and endangerment in response to the EPA rule undermines the legitimacy of the National Academies," Daren Bakst, Director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Center for Energy and Environment, told Fox News Digital."The process shows the numerous problems with what they are doing. On August 7, NASEM announced they were doing a report to be finished in September. That is an incredible rush job that by itself undermines the legitimacy of what they are doing. Likely, the report has already been written in whole or in part, given the timing. This rush gives the impression they have their conclusions and are just working backwards. "Conservatives have long argued that groups tied to Arabella Advisors operate as a "dark money" network, influencing policy debates and shaping research priorities behind the scenes. This dynamic reflects a growing entanglement between research institutions and ideologically driven funding streams.The concern is heightened by the fact that NASEM derives roughly 85% of its budget from federal funds.EPA HEAD LEE ZELDIN DEFENDS REPEALING OBAMA-ERA CLIMATE CHANGE REGULATION WHEN PRESSED BY CNN HOST"To me, it seems like a move to protect NASEM's position as the gatekeeper of official science," Travis Fisher, director of energy and environmental policy studies at the Cato Institute, told Fox News Digital. "I think it's appropriate to ask whether government-funded researchers and organizations might have a conflict of interest in setting the terms of the climate debate. For example, it's clear that more alarm means more research funding."Regarding the Arabella connection, Fisher said that "any overlap" between the NASEM effort and political advocacy groups "deserves scrutiny.""I'd like to know who pushed for NASEM's involvement in the first place and whether ideological groups applied any pressure to get NASEM to join the political fray," Fisher said. "In any case, I'm surprised to see NASEM inject itself into inherently political fights over EPA policy."James Taylor, President of the Heartland Institute, told Fox News Digital that NASEM is a "leftist" and "statist" institution that is "funded by and dependent on big government."Fox News Digital previously reported that NASEM, sometimes referred to as NAS, has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer funds in recent years while doling out hefty salaries to its top brass and bankrolling a variety of left-wing initiatives."It has long since stopped being a scientific organization and is now merely a political one," Taylor said.EPA UNVEILS PLANS TO REVOKE OBAMA-ERA CLIMATE ENDANGERMENT FINDING"For example, in a recent so-called climate science assessment, only 22% of the authors had PhDs, which was equaled by the 22% of authors who worked for environmental activist groups. Counting Democrat politicians who were also co-authors, the NAS assessment had more environmental activists writing the report than actual scientists. NAS is a joke and has no credibility at all."In a statement to Fox News Digital, a NASEM spokesperson said, "This fast-track study is being funded by private donations, and is intended to inform public comments requested by EPA.""The New Venture Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization that uses a fiscal sponsorship model to support a wide range of nonpartisan projects," a New Venture Fund spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "We fully support efforts to increase funding for foundational science and proudly served as Science Philanthropy Alliances fiscal sponsor until it spun off in 2023.""Arabella Advisors is an independent organization and one of our many vendors. They do not 'manage' New Venture Fund or have any say in our funding or fiscal sponsorship decisions."The revelation comes as the Trump administration seeks to rescind the Obama-era greenhouse gas endangerment finding, a cornerstone of climate regulation that critics say has strangled American energy production.The 45-day public comment period for the proposal is set to end in mid-September.The 2009 Endangerment Finding, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), declared that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide "threaten both the public health and the public welfare of current and future generations."This finding established the EPAs legal obligation under the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.In March, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin pledged to roll back the assessment, claiming it has fueled an avalanche of regulations that have cost the U.S. economy over $1 trillion. He doubled down again in July during a speech in Indiana, delivered against a backdrop of trucks, while slamming the Biden-Harris Administrations electric vehicle mandate."With this proposal, the Trump EPA is proposing to end sixteen years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers," Zeldin said, adding that regulatory relief will give U.S. consumers affordable choices when car shopping.An Arabella spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Arabella "does not fundany organizations.""We are a professional services firm that provides administrative and operational support such as compliance, HR, and accounting to nonprofit clients. We are not a donor and we are not a funder."
