President Donald Trump on Monday threatened a lawsuit over the Senates century-old "blue slip" tradition that he says makes it "impossible" for him to appoint a judge or U.S. attorney.Trump made the comments to reporters in the Oval Office while signing executive orders regarding the elimination of cashless bail policies."We're also going to be filing a lawsuit on blue slipping," Trump said. "You know, blue slips make it impossible for me as president to appoint a judge or a U.S. attorney because they have a gentlemen's agreement that's about 100 years old."The blue slip, which is the practice of having a state's senators give their approval for nominees for positions in their state like federal judges and U.S. attorneys, is a long-standing tradition but not a codified law. Constitutionally, the president has the power to nominate while the Senate ultimately approves or rejects that nomination.TOP GOP SENATOR DEFIES TRUMP DEMAND TO BEND SENATE RULES FOR HIS COURT PICKSTrump said that "if you have a president like a Republican, and if you have a Democrat senator, that senator can stop you from appointing a judge or a U.S. attorney in particular."ALINA HABBA SAYS SHE 'WON'T BE INTIMIDATED' AFTER SENATE CUSTOM HINDERS US ATTORNEY NOMINATIONTrumps frustration with the Senates blue slip practice isnt new. In July, he called the tradition a "hoax" and a "scam" used by Democrats to block his nominees, and demanded that Sen. Chuck Grassley,R-Iowa, stop supporting them.Grassley has defended the century-old process, saying he views it as a norm worth preserving for balance and state input.Trump on Sunday blasted the tradition, telling Grassley in a social media post that he should tell Democrats to "go to HELL" over using blue slips to block his nominees.In his first term, Trump was able to appoint 234federal judges, including three Supreme Court justices and 54 appellate court judges. However, this term he has only confirmed five in the first seven months.Fox News Digitals Christina Shaw contributed to this report.

A woman in Ohio crashed a golf cart carrying her and three of her children into a lake, leading to the discovery of the woman's 4-year-old son and husband, authorities said.The crash happened around 10:40 p.m. Saturday at Atwood Lake, next to Atwood Marina West, about 85 miles southeast of Cleveland.The woman was with her 18-year-old twin sons and 15-year-old daughter when she drove the golf cart intol the water, Sheriff Orvis Campbell of the Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Office wrote in a news release.FATHER AND SON DROWN IN LAKE MICHIGAN DURING WEEKEND FAMILY BOATING TRIP TRAGEDYThe children were able to get out of the water on their own. When authorities responded to the scene, the woman began "concerning statements about conversing with God," the sheriff's office said."It was evident that the crash into the water was intentional by the mother," the news release states. "This family is Amish and reside in Homes County and were reportedly just visiting the lake for the weekend.""Conversation with the woman and children then made responding units concerned for the safety of a four-year-old male son and the womans husband who could not be located," the sheriff's office added.Authorities searched the area and the lake before the 4-year-old was found dead off a boat dock at the bottom of the lake.PADDLEBOARDERS MYSTERIOUS KILLING ROCKS QUIET SUMMER VACATION AREA"Numerous locations were searched without finding the boy or the husband," Campbell wrote. "It became evident after piecing together numerous statements from the woman, the children and other witnesses above that foul play was suspected."By the end of the day, the husband was still missing.Another search was initiated on Sunday. A witness told authorities that the husband was last seen with the mother of the children at the same boat dock where the 4-year-old child was found.During the search, boats with sonar equipment located something 50 yards from the edge of the dock. Divers went into the water and found the 45-year-old husband around 8:30 a.m.The bodies were handed over to the coroners office, whileinvestigators spent the rest of the day executing a search warrant."The names of the deceased will be released by the Tuscarawas County Coroners Office once family has all been notified and identities are confirmed," Campbell wrote. "We are confident the deceased are the (4-year-old) son and 45-year-old father of the family but are withholding the names as a matter of identification protocol."The mother was hospitalized for some "mental health concerns" and her 15-year-old daughter and twin 18-year-old sons were released to family members.

A college student's parents died and his siblings injured in a highway crash in North Carolina during a trip to drop him off at school.Noah Nunney, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was waiting on campus to reunite with his family when he received word of a serious car accident nearby."When I arrived to the scene, I thought all four were gone," Nunney told PEOPLE. "They wouldn't let me out of the car, and the way that they sat me down and the look on the officer's face was truly horrifying."The accident occurred on Friday, Aug. 15, around 1:18 p.m., as Nunney's family members left their hotel to meet him for lunch.COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENT AMONG 5 KILLED IN NEW YORK TOUR BUS CRASH AFTER NIAGARA FALLS VISITPolice said their vehicle "struck several small trees, traveled down an embankment and collided with a large tree."Nunney, who told the outlet he was tracking his sisters phone, noticed their location hadnt changed and rushed to the scene with a friend.Authorities said Maria Nunney, 50, who was in the front passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene. Donald Nunney, 55, was flown to a hospital and later died, reportedly from a heart attack that triggered the crash, his son told PEOPLE.The Nunneys younger children, 9 and 15, survived the crash, suffering serious injuries.NEWLYWEDS' HONEYMOON TRIP ENDS IN FIERY CRASH THAT KILLS HUSBAND AND BABY DAUGHTERAfter learning that both his parents had died, Nunney told PEOPLE he realized that he "had to focus on what was important in this situation," which was doing anything he could to make sure his siblings were going to be OK."Since then, that's been my main priority," he said.Nunney's 9-year-old brother sustained multiple broken bones and was placed on a ventilator, but is now off the ventilator and "talking nonstop," he said. His 15-year-old sister suffered a brain injury and has begun to walk and communicate."Seeing them improve has really helped me improve mentally with the whole situation," Nunney said, adding she had not yet been told about their parents deaths. "I want to give her time to heal."A spokesperson for the North Carolina State Highway Patrol told Fox News Digital that the crash remains under investigation and further details about what caused the fatal collision were not available.Nunney said that his family had planned a special day on campus before returning home to Ohio. His sister, a fan of the show,"The Summer I Turned Pretty," had been looking forward to visiting filming locations with her brother. But the family never made it.BELOVED FAMILY OF FOUR KILLED IN TRAGIC PLANE CRASH WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM BEACH VACATIONAs the family grieves, the community is rallying around them. Nunney's parents were beloved, longtime teachers in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.Shari Obrenski, the president of the Cleveland Teachers Union, told WOIO that the school community is reeling."They were just incredible teachers, loving and attentive and committed parents. They were active in the community. Their loss has hit everyone so hard that it is unimaginable for their family and their children. So shocking and heartbreaking and just devastating," Obrenski told the outlet.Within hours of the crash, members of the Morehead-Cain scholarship program, UNC staff and relatives had gathered to offer help.A GoFundMe campaign to assist the family has raised over $350,000.The organizers praised Maria and Donald as "amazing and devoted parents," emphasizing their strong commitment both to their family and their roles as educators."Maria and Donald leave behind a legacy of community, family, and love, all rooted in the devotion they had for their children and their family," a post on the fundraising page read.The crash took place shortly before the start of the academic year at UNC, which began on Monday, Aug. 18.While Nunney plans to take the fall semester off to care for his siblings, hes determined to finish his degree."I know that's what my parents would've wanted," he said.Reflecting on their final moments together, Nunney shared what it meant to have his parents drop him off last year for his freshman year of college."It was the first time they saw me as an adult," he recalled. "They saw me, truthfully, as more of a man than just their kid, and I felt like that was something that will always stick with me."Fox News Digital reached out to the school district and teachers' union for comment.

After his home was raided by the FBI last week, former national security advisor John Bolton unleashed a blistering critique of President Donald Trumps Ukraine policy, claiming it is marked by "confusion, haste and disarray.""Collapsing in confusion, haste, and the absence of any discernible meeting of the minds amongUkraine,Russia, several European countries, and America, Trumps negotiations may be in their last throes, along with his Nobel Peace Prize campaign," Bolton wrote in an op-ed published days after federal agents carried out search warrants on his home and office.Bolton said Trumps attempt to fast-track a peace deal was "inevitably" doomed, arguing the Alaska summit with Putin on Aug. 15 was arranged at a pace "almost surely unprecedented in modern history."DEMOCRATS OPPOSED JOHN BOLTON FOR YEARS UNTIL THEY SOUGHT HIM AS AN ALLY AGAINST TRUMPHe blasted Trumps abrupt reversal after the meeting backing off new sanctions on Moscow and scrapping demands for a ceasefire in favor of a "final agreement" as proof of chaotic diplomacy.The former U.N. ambassador also pointed to contradictions inside the administration, noting Trump told Ukraine it must strike inside Russia even as the Pentagon blocked Kyiv from doing so. The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday the Pentagon had been blocking long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMs, from reaching Ukraine.Meanwhile, allies such as India, Bolton wrote, were left "hanging out to dry" under new 50% U.S. tariffs while Russia and China skated free.FBI RAID OF JOHN BOLTON'S HOME REPORTEDLY LINKED TO CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS PROBE"His efforts over the last two-plus weeks may have left us further from peace and a just settlement for Ukraine than before," Bolton concluded.Bolton even went after Trump for releasing a photo of himself pointing his finger at Putins chest, drawing comparisons tothen-Vice President Richard Nixons finger-pointing during the famous kitchen debate with former Soviet Union prime minister Nikita Khrushchev."Why Trump wants to be compared to the only president who resigned in disgrace is unclear."Bolton was Trumps national security advisor in 2018 and 2019, until the pair fell out.The FBI raid is reportedly linked to a probe of mishandling classified documents.

At another performance opening night in Vegas, she remembered feeling terrified and nervously wondering if she should say she was sick.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's upcoming move to Forest Lodge has sparked privacy and safety concerns.The new place, which has been billed as the couple's forever home, is nestled in Windsor Great Park. Residents of Cranbourne Hall Residential Park, the nearest neighborhood, are worried that the new home will be less private than the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage."I welcome them," Jean Reeve, 87, told the Daily Mail. "But I hope the public allow them to live there quietly as a family."PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE MIDDLETON'S BIG MOVE FORCES TWO FAMILIES OUT OF THEIR HOMES"It's a less private spot than their previous home, from what I know about the location," the resident continued. "So I'd hate for people to always be going past and saying, 'Oh, that's where they live.'""They have young children after all. They deserve privacy," she added.Privacy measures have been put in place, according to the outlet. A metal fence with a black mesh privacy screen was recently added along with larger shrubs.Fox News Digital has reached out to the palace for comment.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that an investigation is underway after reports said Israel struck a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, killing at least 20 people on Monday, according to reports.Netanyahu said Israel regretted the deadly incident and reiterated that Israel does not intentionally target civilians in its war with Hamas. Reports said among the dead were five journalists who worked for outlets such as Reuters, The Associated Press, and Al Jazeera."Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred today at the Nasser Hospital in Gaza," Netanyahu's office said in a statement."Israel values the work of journalists, medical staff and all civilians. The military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation. Our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goals are defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home."NY TIMES' ERRONEOUS COVER PHOTO OF GAZAN CHILD JOINS SERIES OF MEDIA BLUNDERS FRAMING STORIES AGAINST ISRAELReports, citing medical officials, said two shells hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in quick succession. Israeli media reported that Israeli troops had fired the artillery rounds at the hospital to target a Hamas surveillance camera on the roof.Cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters contractor, was killed near a live broadcasting position on an upper floor just below the roof in the first strike, Palestinian health officials said.Israel then struck the site again, killing additional journalists as well as rescue workers and medics who had rushed in to help, hospital officials and witnesses told Reuters.IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin echoed Netanyahus comments, stressing that the military makes every effort to mitigate civilian harm while ensuring troop safety."We are operating in an extremely complex reality. Hamas terrorists deliberately use civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, as shields," Defrin said in a video posted to social media. "They have even operated from the Nasser Hospital itself. Hamas began this war, created impossible fighting conditions and is preventing its end by still holding 50 of our hostages."NEWS AGENCY SAYS ITS GAZA JOURNALISTS SUFFERING HEALTH WOES AS UNION WARNS THEY WILL DIE WITHOUT INTERVENTIONDefrin said Israel will abide by international obligations and "investigate the deadly incident thoroughly and professionally.""Reporting from an active war zone carries immense risk, especially in a war with a terrorist organization such as Hamas, who cynically hides behind the civilian population," he added.The other journalists killed were identified as Mariam Abu Dagga, who freelanced for the Associated Press and other outlets; Mohammed Salama, who worked for Al Jazeera; Moaz Abu Taha, a freelancer who contributed to several news organizations, including Reuters; and Ahmed Abu Aziz.Photographer Hatem Khaled, also a Reuters contractor, was wounded.Fox News Yael Kuriel, Reuters and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

A top advisor to Zohran Mamdani's New York City mayoral campaign reportedly helped launch the re-election bid of the House of Representatives' chief progressive.Morris Katz, a left-wing political operative who serves as the Mamdani campaign's lead media strategist, helped create a new ad for Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair and "Squad" member Greg Casar, D-Texas, announcing his 2026 midterm campaign on Monday morning, Politico Playbook reported.Katz is no stranger to Democratic campaigns, having helped "fortify and expand" New York's Working Families Party, according to an online biography, and most recently creating ads for a Democrat in Maine who is challenging longtime Sen. Susan Collins, D-Maine. He also advised Dan Osborn's independent Senate campaign in Nebraska.The Fight Agency, where he works creating ads and advising on campaign strategy, has rolled out videos for Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., among others.CUOMO, ADAMS TRADE SHOTS OVER WHO SHOULD DROP OUT IN RACE AGAINST MAMDANI FOR NYC MAYORBut it's his work for Mamdani that propelled Katz's name to the national stage.He told New York Magazine in June that he was taken with the 33-year-old democratic socialist after their first meeting."I left thinking, I love this man. And I am supposed to be skeptical. What is going to happen when the rest of New York gets to know him?" the outlet published him saying.Katz is now reportedly throwing his progressive ad-making chops behind Casar, who is running for his third term representing part of the Austin, Texas area.Fox News Digital reached out to the Fight Agency and Casar's campaign multiple times for confirmation and further comment but did not receive a response.Casar's new ad, which runs just over two minutes long, touts his time as a labor organizer and state lawmaker before coming to Congress in January 2023."Donald Trump and Greg Abbot don't want a guy like me in Congress, because I didn't start my career in the courtroom or the C-Suite. I started it here, on Austin construction sites, as a labor organizer fighting alongside workers to win a raise, a union, and the right to a water break," Casar says in the opening of the ad.He goes on to tout "taking on Trump, his billionaire buddies, and their puppet politicians," while the ad features images of other progressive darlings like Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.The Fight Agency's website also features a brief ad promoting Casar's first House bid in 2022.MEET MAMDANI'S RADICAL ADVISORY CIRCLE THAT INCLUDES COMMUNIST ACTIVIST, ANTI-ISRAEL ADVOCATESThe timing of Casar's announcement is significant; it comes days after Texas' state legislature passed new congressional maps backed by the White House which could give Republicans as many as five new seats in the House of Representatives.It's triggered a redistricting war across the country and already pitted Democratic lawmakers against each other.Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, a longtime House lawmaker who would have had to face Casar in a primary under the new maps, announced last week he would not run for re-election if the new district lines went into effect.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"I had hoped that my commitment to reelection under any circumstances would encourage Congressman Casar to not surrender his winnable district to Trump," Doggett said in a statement on Thursday. "While his apparent decision is most unfortunate, I prefer to devote the coming months to fighting Trump tyranny and serving Austin rather than waging a struggle with fellow Democrats.If Trump's extreme gerrymandering prevails, I wish Congressman Casar the best."Casar said Thursday in response, "Lloyd Doggett is an Austin institution. Ive learned so much from him. Im grateful to him. The fight for democracy continues."He wrote on X Monday morning of his decision to switch districts, "I'll keep fighting Trump's gerrymander. If the new maps hold, Im running in the new Austin District (37), which includes my home, my city council district, and 250,000 of my current constituents."
