If they continue the current path, they risk our personal well-being and the security of the United States," Daskalakis concluded at the end of his message.Fox News Digital reached out to HHS for comment on Thursday.0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMVance blasts Psaki for post declaring prayer 'is not freaking enough' in response to Minnesota shootingVice President JD Vance slammed MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Thursday after she criticized prayer in the aftermath of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minnesota.In an X post, Vance defended prayer in the wake of the tragedy and demanded to know why the former White House press secretary would attack the practice when the children who were killed the day before were praying."We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action," Vance said, adding, "Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying?"WHO IS ROBIN WESTMAN, SUSPECT IN ANNUNCIATION CATHOLIC SCHOOL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS?In a follow-up post, Vance wrote, "Of all the weird left wing culture wars in the last few years, this is by far the most bizarre.

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDaniil Medvedev's heated US Open outburst following first-round defeat results in hefty fineDaniil Medvedevs latest tantrum on thetennis court has proven to be a costly one.The former world No. 1 was fined a total of $42,500 by theU.S. Open on Wednesday following his outburst in the first-round of the tournament over the weekend. Medvedev, who previously won the Grand Slam tournament in 2021, was docked $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and an additional $12,500 for racket abuse.The fine followed the Russian tennis players heated disagreement with chair umpire Greg Allensworth, who allowed opponent Benjamin Bonzi another first serve in their matchup Sunday after a photographer walked on the court at Louis Armstrong Stadium.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe incident took place during the third set, with Medvedev a point away from elimination.After Bonzi missed his first serve, a photographer left his position and began walking alongside the court. Allensworth instructed the photographer to get off the court and awarded Bonzi another first serve, which Medvedev objected to.Medvedev was booed by the crowd, and in his typical fashion, he continued to rile the fans, blowing them kisses.US OPEN PHOTOGRAPHER CLAIMS HE'S 'TOTALLY INNOCENT' AFTER BEING AT CENTER OF PLAYER'S MELTDOWNBonzi lost the point and eventually the game. Medvedev went on to win the following set but lost the match 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4.After the match,Medvedev defended his stance, arguing that the photographers disturbance was not long enough to warrant another first serve. He also predicted that a hefty fine was on its way."Im getting big fine enough, so if I speak Im in big trouble, so Im not going to speak," he said.Medvedev is no stranger to outbursts on the court especially at the U.S. Open.At the2019 U.S. Open, he notoriously got into a war of words with fans in a post-match interview when he thanked them for viciously booing him."Thank you all, guys, because your energy tonight gave me the win. Because if you werent here, guys, I would probably lose the match because I was so tired," he said at the time. "I was cramping yesterday. It was so tough on me to play. So, I want all you to know when you sleep tonight, I won today because of you," he added as the booing continued.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.0 Comments 0 Shares 11 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMVance rolls into another battleground state as Trump's 'traveling salesman' to promote key proposalVice President JD Vance is heading to another crucial battleground state on Thursday, as part of his ongoing promotion of the sweeping GOP-crafted domestic policy package that narrowly passed through the Republican-controlled Congress earlier this summer.But Vance's stop at a steel fabricating facility in Wisconsin comes as his boss, President Donald Trump, is urging Republicans to rebrand their efforts to sell the massive tax cuts and spending measure, which polls indicate isn't popular with Americans.The vice president will speak at a steel fabrication facility in La Crosse, Wisconsin. And he'll also sit down for an interview with Fox News' Will Cain, with much of what Vance says running at 4pm ET on "The Will Cain Show."He has promoted the measure, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, over the past month during stops in his home state of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Georgia. All four states will hold crucial contests in the 2026 midterm elections, when the GOP aims to hold its House and Senate majorities.VANCE TOUTS TAX CUTS IN TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL DURING STOP IN CRUCIAL BATTLEGROUND"President Trump is the chief messenger for the Working Class Family Tax Cuts and Vance is his traveling salesman," a longtime Trump adviser told Fox News on Thursday.Vance's efforts are part of a larger sales campaign so far this summer by Republicans to promote the package, which Trump signed into law at the White House on July 4.FIRST ON FOX: MAJOR GOP-ALIGNED GROUP SPOTLIGHTS TAX CUTS IN REPUBLICANS SWEEPING MEASURETrump for months has touted his Big Beautiful Bill, but at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday seemed to acknowledge the difficult sales job he and his party face."I'm not going to use the term great, big, beautiful - that was good for getting it approved, but it's not good for explaining to people what it's really about," Trump said.And he described the package as a "major tax cut for workers."The measure is stuffed full of Trump's 2024 campaign trail promises and second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit.It includes extending the president's signature 2017 tax cuts - which were set to expire later this year - and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.The shift in branding that Trump noted this week has already been reflected in Vance's description of the measure.MESSAGING WAR OVER BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL HEATS UPAt his earlier stops on his tour, he called the package the "One Big Beautiful Bill." But last week, in Georgia, the vice president referred to the measure repeatedly as the "Working Families Tax Cut.""We believe that if you're busting your rear end every single day, the government ought to make it easier for you and not harder for you," the vice president said at his Georgia stop, as he touted the tax cuts in the measure.The package also provides billions for border security and codifies the president's sweeping and controversial immigration crackdown.And the new law also restructures Medicaid the almost 60-year-old federal program that provides health coverage to roughly 71 million low-income Americans.The changes to Medicaid, as well as cuts to food stamps, another one of the nation's major safety net programs, were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump's tax cuts. The measure includes a slew of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those seeking Medicaid coverage.The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the new law could result in roughly 10 million people losing health coverage, and $3.4 trillion added to the nation's already massive federal deficit.Democrats for months have repeatedly blasted Republicans over the social safety net changes. They charge it will gut Medicaid, forcing rural hospitals and nursing homes to close their doors."Rural hospitals were already on the brink of collapse thanks to Donald Trump, but now he has put the last nail in the coffin for rural hospitals with his billionaire budget bill," Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin claimed.But Vance and Republicans have pushed back.The vice president last week argued the CBO's estimates were "absolutely atrocious" and that the healthcare changes in the law were focused on "kicking illegal aliens the hell out of this country so that we can preserve health care for the American families who need it."While playing defense as they respond to Democrats' attacks on the social safety net changes, Republicans are also on offense, targeting Democrats for voting against tax cuts."Republicans took action with President Trump to make America more affordable again, passing a Working Families Tax Cut, saving families thousands a year. Plus, no tax on tips and a tax cut on Social Security, benefiting workers and seniors," the narrator said in ads last month from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).And spots this summer from One Nation, a public policy organization aligned with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, spotlighted that "America is back, thanks to President Trump and Leader John Thune's Working Family tax cuts. Not tax on tips or overtime. Real relief for every American up early and home late."Democratic lawmakers who face rough re-elections next year are being targeted by Republicans for voting against the tax cuts. And the NRCC said on Thursday that new internal polling in battleground states "gives Republicans adecisive messaging advantage."Democrats dispute the GOP messaging."There is nothing in this bill that's going to help hard-working Americans. Let's be very clear, this is a giveaway to the richest people in our country," Martin argued last month, in a Fox News Digital interview."We welcome the debate, because this is the debate that's going to actually help us as a Democratic Party, build our coalition again and win elections,"0 Comments 0 Shares 25 Views 0 Reviews
