President Donald Trump is slated to make an announcement related to the Department of Defense Tuesday, with all eyes on an update of the location of Space Commands headquarters.While Space Command has been operating out of Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Trump has pushed for the commands headquarters to move to Huntsville, Alabama. However, former President Joe Biden announced in 2023 that the command would remain based in Colorado.RENAMED DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE COMING SOON,' TRUMP SAYSWhite House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed to Fox News that Tuesday's announcement was related to the Defense Department.The agency initially posted a livestream link for Trumps 2 p.m. announcement with a description that the event was related to Space Commands headquarters. The description was subsequently updated to remove the mention of Space Command.The Associated Press also reported Tuesday that Trump will announce plans to move Space Command from Colorado to Alabama.TRUMP'S WHIRLWIND WEEK AHEAD TO INCLUDE MEETING WITH NATO CHIEF, 'MAJOR' ANNOUNCEMENT ON RUSSIAThe announcement comes as both Colorado and Alabama have been vying to house Space Command, which Trump established in 2019 as a new combatant command to oversee U.S. military space operations and is currently involved in Trump's Golden Dome initiative.The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital when asked about Space Commands headquarters.Fox News Jacqui Heinrich contributed to this report.

House and Senate lawmakers are returning to Washington from their home turfs to face a litany of critical battles in the coming weeks.Tuesday marked the end of Congress annual August recess, and legislators are being met with several deadlines, ranging from averting a partial government shutdown to possibly extending President Donald Trumps grip on D.C.s police force.COMER SUBPOENAS THE CLINTONS, TRUMP'S DOJ IN HOUSE OVERSIGHT'S EPSTEIN PROBEThe House and Senate will overlap for just 14 days between Tuesday and the Sept. 30 government funding deadline, and no agreement has been reached yet on fiscal year (FY) 2026 spending priorities.Its likely that a stopgap extension of FY 2025 funding levels called a continuing resolution (CR) will be needed to avert a shutdown, which could have politically damaging consequences for Republicans while they control both Congress and the White House.Democrats, unhappy with Republican efforts to rescind prior appropriated funds via the rescissions process, have signaled theyre ready to play hardball.Any funding bill will need to pass through the Senate's filibuster threshold, meaning Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., can only lose a handful of votes. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is still calling for a bipartisan process, but trust across the aisle is wearing thin.A White House official told reporters on Friday they believe a clean CR, meaning without any changes or riders attached, would put Democrats in a difficult position and that rejecting one would pin the blame for a shutdown on the left.Republicans themselves will have precious little room for error, however. Two special elections in safe blue seats between now and Sept. 30 are poised to shrink the House GOP majority from three seats to two.CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS FACE BRUISING BATTLE TO AVOID GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNA bipartisan effort to force a House-wide vote on releasing the Department of Justices (DOJ) records on Jeffrey Epstein is expected to move full-throttle this week, even as the DOJ has already agreed to hand a tranche of files over to the House Oversight Committee.Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., are leading whats known as a discharge petition, a mechanism for forcing a vote on legislation over the wishes of House leaders. Thats if the petition gets a majority of House lawmakers signatures.Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., publicly condemned the effort in July, dismissing discharge petitions as a tool of the minority party and asserting that all Republicans were in favor of transparency in Epsteins case.Khanna told NBC News "Meet The Press" over the weekend that the petition would go live on Sept. 2, and that he and Massie have more than enough commitments to force a vote.CAPITOL HILL PREPARES FOR HIGH-STAKES BATTLE OVER TRUMP CRIME PACKAGE, DC POLICE AUTHORITYThis week will also see the end of Trumps 30-day hold over Washington, D.C.s, police force, barring congressional action to extend it.Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) last month as part of a wider effort to crack down on crime in the capital city. Under D.C.s Home Rule Act, his authority over the local police can last 30 days unless Congress passes a joint resolution to extend it.The president suggested in August, however, that he could bypass Congress on the issue if he declared a national emergency a move that some Republicans are already on board with. Additionally, Trumps deployment of federal troops into the District does not have a statutory end date.Its not clear yet which route will be taken, but a leadership aide told Fox News Digital last month that House leaders were working with the White House on a package of legislation addressing D.C. crime.Senate Republicans were unable to get a deal in place to advance dozens of low-level nominations before leaving Washington last month.Currently, Trump has 145 nominees scheduled on the executive calendar with more expected to make their way through committee as lawmakers continue their workflow.And Republicans are willing to go nuclear on Senate Democrats to get their nominees through. That would mean unilaterally changing the rules in the upper chamber without Democrats weighing in.The Senate GOP is set to meet this week to discuss the proposed rule changes, which could include shortening the debate time for certain nominees, bundling nominees together into a package or skipping the cloture vote on some nominees altogether.

Phillip Todd, lying bloody on a public street, needed someone to pray for him.The then-26-year-old Senate staffer had just been attacked in a random act of violence, one of the many that were brutally etched in 2023 in Washington, D.C. At that moment, he was full of fear and needed a helping hand from a higher power.That higher power, as it turned out, was channeled by the paramedic working to keep him alive.GOP SENATORS SAY THEY'RE OPEN TO TRUMP DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD IN THEIR STATES' BLUE CITIES"The first thing that I had thought of was, Well, I need to pray. Maybe I can't pray myself, but someone needs to pray for this," Todd told Fox News Digital. "So, I asked the paramedic to pray for me. And he said, Are you Christian? Like, what are you? And I said, Yeah, I'm a Christian.""He goes, Well, I'm an atheist," Todd continued. "And I said, That's fine. You can pray for me. He was kind and obliged."The incident on H Street in Washington, D.C., could have been the perfect flashpoint for a political operative looking for an anecdote about crime in the district to use as a cudgel against Democratic policies in the nation's capital city.Todd was working for Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and was attacked in broad daylight in the midst of one of the worst crime years Washington had experienced in the last three decades.After all, he was millimeters away from becoming a statistic. He was stabbed at least four times, with the knife piercing his skull, nearly severing his ear, plunging through his diaphragm and coming dangerously close to his heart.Even now, in the midst of a hyper-politicized push by the Trump administration to crack down on crime in D.C. that has spurred accusations of authoritarianism from Democrats and accolades from Republicans, Todd, who still works on the Hill, has kept politics and what happened to him separate.DC STATEHOOD DEBATE INTENSIFIES AS TRUMP FLEXES AUTHORITY OVER LOCAL POLICEBut that doesnt mean he hasnt struggled with that balance in the years since. A self-described "political creature," Todd said the political thoughts of how his story could be used to shine a light on crime in Washington had bounced around in his head.However, his focus has been on the deeper connection that he found with his faith, a journey he was already on when his assailant, Glynn Neal, attacked him out of the blue."The story for me, or the obligation for me, is to focus on the goodness of God, and focus on obedience to God and stewarding that story," he said. "Maybe the politics come later, but I think it seems to me that there's two kind of obligations that anyone who goes through something like this has, and I think there's a personal obligation, there's a societal obligation."Still, lawmakers and Washington residents are grappling with President Donald Trumps decision to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), and flood the districts streets with federal law enforcement and the National Guard in an effort to crack down on crime.When asked what he thought of troops walking the streets, Todd said he wasnt sure what the right solution to crime in the district was, but that he thinks "it's a problem worth solving.""I think what I've told some of my friends, I don't know whether or not troops in the city is the best way to do it, Todd said. "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But I do think that the attitude of trying to solve that problem is something that people need to have, and it's worthwhile."CAPITOL HILL PREPARES FOR HIGH-STAKES BATTLE OVER TRUMP CRIME PACKAGE, DC POLICE AUTHORITYOne of the most striking things about Todd is his ability to crack jokes about a knife plunging through his skull and piercing the membrane that surrounds his brain.Now, he has a titanium plate that has further affirmed his friends belief that he is hard-headed it also doesnt set off metal detectors at the airport, he noted. However, the fact that he underwent a traumatic situation at the hands of Neal, who had been released from prison just days before the attack after serving over a decade behind bars and was found to be mentally incompetent to stand trial in June, was not lost on him either.But it was his decision to forgive Neal early on while still recovering in his hospital bed, a choice he wondered if he would have made had his entire faculties been there. Nonetheless, its one that he stood by and credited for his ability to look at the situation in a light-hearted manner."I think the opportunity for redemption in this particular story, it seems to me, and maybe this changes over time, doesn't lie necessarily with the political but lies more on the fact that this was a very egregious crime," he said. "This is a very big wrong that was done to me.""It would be totally understandable to have a lot of desire to see retribution," Todd continued. "And yet instill in those moments because God had gifted me with the ability to forgive, and God had saved me from death showing how obedience to God can also lead others to a life full of meaning and satisfaction and redemption and tough trials and situations."

Self-driving trucks are moving closer to reality. PlusAI released its first half 2025 performance results, showing how far the company has come toward its goal of launching factory-built autonomous trucks in 2027.The numbers are clear. Safety case readiness reached 86 percent, with a goal of 100 percent by launch. Autonomous miles percentage climbed to 98 percent. Remote assistance free trips rose to 76 percent, with a target of more than 90 percent.These metrics may sound technical, but they show that PlusAI is moving steadily toward putting driverless freight trucks on the road within two years.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

Every product you buy travels by truck at some point, whether it's groceries, clothing or furniture. The way those trucks operate influences cost, availability and safety on the road.The trucking industry faces three major challenges. There are not enough long-haul drivers to meet demand. Costs continue to rise due to labor shortages, tariffs and fuel prices. And safety is a concern because human drivers can get tired or distracted.Autonomous trucks could help address each of these issues. PlusAI's vehicles are already hauling freight on Texas highways today, and they are also undergoing road testing in Sweden. The company has already logged more than five million autonomous miles across the United States, Europe and Asia. That real-world experience fuels the AI system with the data it needs to improve.LUCID JOINS TESLA AND GM WITH HANDS-FREE HIGHWAY DRIVINGPlusAI has created a roadmap that sets it apart. Instead of retrofitting trucks with autonomous systems, it is working with major manufacturers like TRATON GROUP, Hyundai and IVECO to integrate the technology at the factory. This approach makes scaling production faster and ensures consistency.The initial launch is planned for the Texas Triangle, a major freight corridor connecting Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin. From there, PlusAI plans to expand into other U.S. routes and eventually Europe.The company has also committed to publishing regular performance updates as it transitions to a public company. By sharing measurable results, PlusAI builds trust with regulators, the public, and businesses that may one day rely on its trucks to move goods."We have a clear roadmap to the commercial launch of SuperDrive," said David Liu, CEO and co-founder of PlusAI. "By publicly sharing these performance metrics, we are showing our commitment to safety and scalability while bringing partners, customers, and regulators along on this journey."PlusAI still has milestones to meet. Safety readiness must rise from 86 percent to 100 percent. Remote Assistance Free Trips must surpass 90 percent. These are ambitious goals, but the progress so far suggests the company can achieve them.Fleet trials are scheduled to begin later this year, and PlusAI continues testing in both the United States and internationally. Each step adds to the case that driverless trucks will be ready for commercial launch in 2027.AI-POWERED SELF-DRIVING SOFTWARE IS DISRUPTING THE TRUCKING INDUSTRYAs a shopper, autonomous trucks could mean faster and more affordable deliveries. As a driver, you may soon share highways with self-driving freight haulers. As a business owner, this technology could reduce logistics costs and ease the impact of driver shortages.The bigger picture is that autonomous trucks are moving from testing to real use. They are no longer limited to pilot projects. You may see them alongside you on the road sooner than expected.Take my quiz: How safe is your online security?Think your devices and data are truly protected?

Worse than that," she told the outlet at the time. "One of the reasons why we got back together and broke up so much was trying to keep the family together.

A representative for rapper Snoop Dogg called a comment addressing backlash over the rapper's criticism of LGBTQ characters in children's films "fake."The comment appeared on a "Hollywood Unlocked" Instagram post, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The outlet noted that the post seemed to come from Snoops official account, the outlet noted."I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons.

"In 2018, I was a writer at Pixarsuch a cool place, grateful to work there, learned a ton from kind and impressive creatives. As we wrote early versions of what became Lightyear, a key character needed a partner, and it was so natural to write 'she' instead of 'he.'
