    Former Vice President Kamala Harris noted that she was unaware that she had "pulled the pin on a hand grenade" with her response to a question while appearing on "The View" ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to an Associated Press report about the unsuccessful candidate's forthcoming book about her whirlwind 2024 White House campaign.Asked whether she would have done anything differently than President Joe Biden, Harris replied by saying nothing "comes to mind" and adding that she had "been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.""I had no idea Id just pulled the pin on a hand grenade," Harris wrote in her book, "107 Days," which is slated for release on Tuesday, according to the AP "my staff were besides themselves" regarding how she had handed a "gift to the Trump campaign," she noted, according to the outlet.KAMALA HARRIS COMPLAINS ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM BIDEN'S COMMS TEAM, INNER CIRCLEHarris explained in the book that she did not want to criticize the president or litigate matters on which they did not agree, according to the AP, but she did not grasp the extent to which her connection with Biden was holding back her presidential bid.President Donald Trump decisively defeated Harris in the 2024 election, winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote.HARRIS ADMITS SILENCE ON BIDEN'S 2024 RE-ELECTION BID WAS RECKLESSNESS"I could barely breathe," Harris wrote regarding her experience of learning that she had lost the White House contest to her Republican rival, the outlet reported.

    US universities training Chinese military scientists on taxpayer dime, committee warns
    FIRST ON FOX: American universities are educating thousands of Chinese nationals with ties to the Chinese military the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA), according to findings from a new China Committee report.Over 400 Chinese nationals at just one of the six universities they investigated were conducting federally funded research in sensitive fields like nuclear engineering and computer science.Meanwhile, the Biden administration failed to enforce an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in 2020 banning Chinese nationals engaged in military-linked research, the report claims.That orders rationale was that Chinese authorities use postgraduate students as "non-traditional collectors" of intelligence information.MAJOR COLLEGES FACE HEAT OVER CHINESE SCHOLARSHIP TIES AS ESPIONAGE CONCERNS MOUNTAt another university, information provided to the committee showed that half of Chinese nationals pursuing a Ph.D. on campus were involved in federally funded research projects.Every surveyed U.S. university Maryland, Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Carnegie Mellon, University of Southern California (USA), Purdue, Stanford admitted students from Chinas top military and defense research schools. These include theSeven Sons of National Defense, a group of elite institutions whose primary mission is to advance military research.Fox News Digital has contacted each American university listed in the report."USC already maintains strong safeguards to protect national security by requiring the disclosure of foreign financial interests and affiliations, strictly reviewing potential conflicts of interest, and prohibiting participation in restricted foreign talent programs and we are always open to feedback on how our processes can be strengthened even further," USC said in a statement on the report."We cannot allow Americas taxpayer-funded research labs and classrooms to serve as staging grounds for Beijings military ambitions," said House Select Committee on Chairman John Moolenaar, R-Mich.Those schools, including Beihang University, Harbin Institute of Technology and Northwestern Polytechnical University, maintain extensive defense laboratories and partnerships with state-owned weapons conglomerates.One example is Beihang University, which has been on the U.S. Entity List since 2001. It has nine major defense labs and "adheres to Xi Jinping Thought." Beihang students were found at every U.S. university surveyed, according to the report.Harbin Engineering University, originally the PLA Military Engineering Institute, is represented at83% of U.S. universities surveyed.At the University of Maryland, more than 25% of Chinese students in fall 2024 were involved in federally funded research, but the university admitted it does not track what research they conduct.MAJOR COLLEGES FACE HEAT OVER CHINESE SCHOLARSHIP TIES AS ESPIONAGE CONCERNS MOUNTThe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ran a joint engineering institute with Zhejiang University, which has defense labs and ties to Chinese intelligence.Trump stirred controversy recently by saying he would allow 600,000 Chinese students into U.S. universities a figure that exceeds current enrollment levels of Chinese nationals in the U.S.The number of Chinese students studying in the U.S. peaked at 372,532 in the 2019-2020 academic year, just as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold."I hear so many stories about We are not going to allow their students, but we are going to allow their students to come in. We are going to allow it. Its very important 600,000 students," he said during a White House meeting last month.The report also challenged universities frequent claim that foreign students help subsidize American classmates by paying higher tuition.At one school, Chinese nationals made up more than 20 percent of the Ph.D. population but contributed just 0.2 percent of tuition revenue, with most of their studies funded by federal grants, state subsidies or university assistantships. "American taxpayers are footing the bill," the committee wrote, to provide STEM training and lab access for Chinese nationals many of them with direct ties to the PLA.TRUMP'S CHINESE STUDENT VISA PUSH SETS OFF ALARM BELLS AMID RISING CCP INFLUENCE IN USFaculty collaborations added another layer of risk, investigators found. The University of Maryland reported at least 89 faculty partnerships and 15 exchange agreements with Chinese entities, while Purdue University hosted 16 visiting faculty from Chinese universities in sensitive departments such as electrical engineering and computer science.Officials acknowledged the school does not fully distinguish between casual academic contact and long-term research ties, leaving oversight gaps.The committee also noted Purdue professors traveling in the other direction. The report said six Purdue faculty members were on sabbatical in China, including two at universities overseen by Beijings defense ministry and another at a State Key Laboratory institutions described as "central nodes" in Chinas military-civil fusion system.Purdue has since taken corrective action, adopting new safeguards to prevent foreign influence. The school banned foreign adversary funding, tightened research security and export controls, added new protections for intellectual property and restricted sabbaticals with Chinese institutions.The committee praised Purdues new approach as an example for other schools.At Illinois, faculty worked inside a joint institute with Zhejiang University an institution tied to Chinas defense establishment and intelligence services.But amid the investigation, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign announced it is terminating dozens of agreements with Chinese universities. That includes shutting down its flagship joint engineering institute with Zhejiang University an institution with defense laboratories and documented ties to Chinese intelligence.UIUC also terminated all joint degree programs with Chinese universities, canceled six "priority admission" agreements that gave Chinese students easier entry to masters programs, and ended a summer faculty training program with Shanghai institutions.Lawmakers commended Illinois for "leading by example" by unwinding dozens of Chinese partnerships.Lawmakers recommended codifying Trumps 2020 executive order into law, tightening visa screening, and barring Chinese nationals from participating in U.S. governmentfunded research labs. They also urged universities to disclose foreign student affiliations and funding sources to federal agencies. Without such reforms, the report warned, American higher education will continue training scientists and engineers "not for Americas benefit, but for the PLA."Committee staff also pointed to recent actions by universities to unwind ties with the China Scholarship Council, a government-run student funding body they described as part of Beijings "technology transfer apparatus.""We had identified that seven U.S. universities had joint agreements or a decade-long period with the CSC," one staffer said, "and all of those universities shut down their CSC agreements" after the committee raised concerns.Recent prosecutions show the problem is not theoretical. In June, two Chinese students at the University of Michigan were charged in a biopathogen case after attempting to bring restricted materials into the country. The following month, Chinese students were convicted for spying after flying drones over the Norfolk Naval Station, while others in Michigan were found guilty of trying to gain access to U.S. military installations.Other universities have also moved to unwind partnerships with Chinese institutions in recent years. Schools including UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, and the University of Michigan have canceled joint institutes or collaborative programs after congressional scrutiny, a trend lawmakers said shows pressure is prompting at least some schools to scale back ties.

    Country star says Charlie Kirks death has him wrestling with faith and forgiveness
    Though a man of God, Brantley Gilbert is struggling with faith and forgiveness following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the country star opened up about the "anger" he feels following Kirk's "senseless" murder and explained why he's finding it difficult to show grace during these trying times."I'll be honest, I'm trying to try to be a little careful. My wife sent me back to church and stuff, and I can say Charlie was an encouraging figure in this chapter of my life, and I'm trying to get back into that," Gilbert said. "My wife is a lot more steadfast in her faith and shows a lot more grace than me. I'm angry man, I'm still angry.""I know my belief in Christianity encourages me to show love and show that to my brothers and sisters, and I'm having a hard time with that right now," he continued. "I've always been one to try to keep my platform geared towards supporting active duty members, veterans, kids. We really try to keep our messages positive."CHARLIE KIRK, TURNING POINT USA FOUNDER, DEAD AT 31 AFTER UTAH CAMPUS SHOOTINGGilbert said he's made a "conscious effort" to stay away from politics due to the country's divisiveness, but it's becoming harder and harder."It's becoming unavoidable for me to see some of the differences and seeing leaders call out for violence. And then, when it happens, stand back and go, 'We don't support that, we don't stand behind that.' You called for it," he said."I was supposed to pray for those who we're making comments like that, people whose hearts are in that place, and I'm just not there yet," he continued. "I'll be honest, I'm angry. I think a lot of us are angry. A lot of us are fed up."JILLIAN MICHAELS DESCRIBES CHARLIE KIRK'S POWERFUL IMPACT ON HER TEENAGE SON"If you want to call it a mental health problem or whatever your views are on that to not condemn murdering an innocent man, you know, it's like these people just disregarded the fact that two kids woke up without a dad. A wife woke up without a husband and our country woke up without a figure that was literally dedicating his life to the betterment of it.""It's senseless. I don't understand it, and it p---es me off," he said.Last week, Gilbert who's currently on "The Tattoos Tour 2025" led the crowd in a moment of silence in honor of Kirk during his show in Maryland on Friday."How powerful was silence," he said. "But how powerful is the freedom of speech.""I don't care if you're left, right, Black, white, who you wanna be today or tomorrow, whatever the f---," Gilbert continued, "You never celebrate an act of cowardice like that."CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, JOSH DUHAMEL, JILLIAN MICHAELS DENOUNCE POLITICAL VIOLENCEGilbert told Fox News Digital that the silence was "deafening.""It was incredibly powerful for several thousand people, you know, to just go completely silent for anything. It's a lot to ask for silence out of a crowd like that the silence was deafening. It was an incredible moment, it was overwhelming. It was an emotional moment."WATCH: COUNTRY STAR BRANTLEY GILBERT SAYS CHARLIE KIRK'S DEATH HAS HIM WRESTLING WITH FAITH AND FORGIVENESSKirk, 31, was assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem on Sept. 10. He was pronounced dead later that day.The political activist traveled around the country to college campuses, where he conducted question-and-answer sessions with students and discussed key political issues.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

You know, and honestly, man, the only way I see this getting right, the only way I see us putting our country back together is giving it back to God.""I believe in God and believe in the Bible, and we're, we're doing a lot of things in the other direction and that's, that's concerning for me."

    Kirk's friend calls out Paramount for pulling South Park episode from reruns, says Charlie would want it back
    Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show" and a close friend of Charlie Kirk, is calling out Paramount for pulling reruns of a South Park episode parodying the conservative activist, who was shot and killed on Sept. 10.Kolvet argued that Kirk would have wanted the episode to remain on air, noting that he "loved" being featured in the long-running show."Hey @paramountplus, as someone who can speak with some authority on this, Charlie loved that he was featured in South Park. He told me many times," Kolvet wrote on X.CHARLIE KIRK'S FRIEND URGES MOURNERS TO 'GO BACK TO CHURCH' FOLLOWING ACTIVIST'S KILLINGComedy Central pulled the episode from its cable rotation hours after Kirk was shot and killed while speaking to students at Utah Valley University. Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, leaves behind a wife and two children.Kolvet urged Paramount, which owns Comedy Central, to reinstate the episode, saying it carried personal meaning for Kirk."He would want the episode back up," he wrote.A Paramount spokesperson said the episode would not be airing on Comedy Central's linear rotation but noted it is still available on demand and on Paramount+.The episode, titled "Got a Nut" from the shows 27th season, featured main character Eric Cartman sporting a hairstyle similar to Kirks while mocking his viral exchanges with college students. In the storyline, characters even received the "Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters," a direct nod to the conservative leader.CHARLIE KIRK MOURNED BY WORLD LEADERS AFTER SHOCKING UTAH ASSASSINATIONAt the time of its release in August, Kirk himself praised the parody publicly, calling it a "badge of honor."Speaking to Fox News Digital, he said, "I think it's kind of funny and it kind of goes to show the cultural impact and the resonance that our movement has been able to achieve."He went on to urge conservatives to be able to take a joke, and said that part of the problem in politics is a lack of good humor."From a religious standpoint, we're all sinners. We all fall short of the glory of God. Like from a more practical life standpoint, we're all broken people. Stop taking yourself so seriously. That's probably one of the problems that we've had in our politics is that people can't take a joke."AFTER CHARLIE KIRKS ASSASSINATION, COLLEGES ADDRESS CONCERNS OVER CAMPUS EVENT SAFETYKirk also said he planned to watch the episode when it aired. Shortly after the parody episode was released, Kirk posted a video of it to X with the caption, "Not bad, Cartman," with several laughing face emojis.He also changed his podcasts profile picture on Instagram and TikTok to the cartoon version of himself. Those images remain in place on his accounts today.

    The importance of President Trump's UK visit shouldn't be underestimated
    Earlier this year, Trump began the custom of redecorating his Oval Office by selecting dozens of original paintings of Americas Founding Fathers. In addition to adding historic paintings from the White House archives, he became the first president to have a copy of the Declaration of Independence permanently displayed in the Oval Office from the National Archives.There is no doubt the signers of that declaration, nor many of the men on the walls of the Oval Office would have ever imagined 249 years later, the level of pomp and pageantry given to an American president. The House of Windsor has made it abundantly clear that they have adoration for this American president above all others in the modern era, through this deliberate and unprecedented diplomatic gesture on the eve of Americas semiquincentennial. King Charles III and Queen Camilla have made their own declaration, with the president and Mrs. Trump, that the "Special Relationship," coined by Prime Minister Winston Churchill between our nations is stronger than ever.Despite our rather complicated beginning, the relationship between the two countries could not be more significant. The first visit by an American president to a member of the House of Windsor was President Woodrow Wilsons when he traveled to see King George V at Buckingham Palace in 1918. Of course, the historic reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, with over 70 years on the throne, made the connection between U.S. presidents and British monarchs almost exclusively relegated to her reign. Now, under King Charles III, the president and Mrs. Trump received unprecedented pomp and pageantry with the full weight of Britains ceremonial traditions this week.PRESIDENT TRUMP BIDS FAREWELL TO KING CHARLES AS MELANIA TRUMP JOINS QUEEN CAMILLA FOR ROYAL TREASURES TOURIn addition to being the only United States president to have ever received two Official State Visits from the British monarchy, (the first by Queen Elizabeth in 2019 at Buckingham Palace, this one at the over 1,000-year-old Windsor Castle), the ceremonious horse-drawn carriage ride through the vast grounds of the Windsor Estate, marked the only time since President Wilson rode with King George that an American rode with a reigning monarch. The Trumps received the largest military ceremonial welcome, where, for the first time, 1,300 service men and women from three different regiments of the Household Division performed, including the Scots Guards, Grenadier Guards and Coldstream Guards appeared together.The cultural soft diplomacy shined brightly with the addition of military music by the U.S. Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps and an amazing flyover by the Red Arrows over Windsor Castle. In addition, the president and Mrs. Trump were given the rare opportunity to lay a wreath at the Royal burial place of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.The only other U.S. president that came close to having this sort of public show of respect and diplomatic exchange was President Reagan. He was the only other U.S. President to be honored with a stay at Windsor Castle, stating, "landing in a helicopter on the lawn of Windsor Castle for a fairytale visit with Queen Elizabeth and the royal family" was one of the moments that made his job fun.On that visit, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth joked in her toast to President Ronald Reagan about the problematic start to their alliance, saying, "one of my ancestors had played a seemingly disastrous role in your affairs. Yet, had King George III been able to foresee the long-term consequences of his actions, he might not have felt so grieved about the loss of his colonies. Out of the War of Independence grew a great nation, the United States of America. And later there was forged a lasting friendship between the new nation and the country to whom she owed so much of her origins. But that friendship must never be taken for granted and your visit gives me the opportunity to reaffirm and to restate it."During King Charles' toast this week, he said, "as we approach the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence next year, it is remarkable to think just how far we have come. I cannot help but wonder what our forebears from 1776 would make of this friendship today The successors of the British Redcoats and of George Washingtons Continental Army today stand shoulder-to-shoulder, brothers and sisters in arms, protecting the freedoms we both cherish".CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONIn Trumps toast to King Charles, he declared, "truly, this is one of the highest honors of my life", and then continued, "The word 'special' does not begin to do it justice... The British Empire laid the foundations of law, liberty, free speech and individual rights virtually everywhere the Union Jack has ever flown, including a place called America."With America on the eve of her 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, one can only hope that we will see King Charles tour the United States like his mother did in 1976. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of American Independence, the Queen had a multi-city, five-day tour symbolizing the strength of the relationship between the two countries. Trump will have the honor of being Americas chief diplomat, presiding over the America250, World Cup, G20 and the Summer Olympics. This is his moment to shine both at home and abroad and he did just that in London, making us all proud to be American and see the King show such reverence and honor to our president.This visit by the president and Mrs. Trump should not be overlooked, nor underestimated. President Reagan warned during his visit to Windsor Castle, "our future security and prosperity depend on the continued unity of Britain and America." The diplomatic relationship Trump has created shows our future with the United Kingdom has never been brighter.

    DAVID MARCUS: FCC isnt going after ABC, it's protecting public airwaves
    In the wake of Jimmy Kimmel Live! getting the hook from ABC this week, Democrats and their media allies are crying foul over Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carrsthreat to use his agency's power to enforce regulations requiring networks on the public airwaves to serve the public interest.This is what Carr said in regard to Kimmel blatantly lying to his dwindling audience by strongly implying the murderer of Charlie Kirk was a MAGA Republican: "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or theres going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."FCC CHAIR THINKS INVESTIGATING 'THE VIEW' 'WORTHWHILE' AFTER JIMMY KIMMEL SUSPENSIONIn the eyes of Democrats this is Carr "intimidating," or "going after," ABC. But the public airwaves that the FCC regulates do not belong to Jimmy Kimmel or ABC, they belong to the American people.And not just the ones who hate Donald Trump.As every teenage boy in 1988 knew, the FCC can absolutely regulate what goes out over the air in ways that they cannot with cable television, and that doesnt just apply to Skinamax nudity and HBO cursing, it applies to protecting the general public interest.The fact of the matter is that all three of our major networks have become propaganda for the Democrat Party, and not just in their misleading news coverage, but in their entertainment programming as well.Accordingto a study by the Media Research Center, ABCs "The View" had 102 liberal guests between January and August of 2025. It had zero, count them, zilch, nada Republicans.For a show that focuses on news and matters of the day, and which one hopes seeks to serve the public interest, how is this even possible? Youd think youd wind up with at least one conservative, if only accidentally.And this has consequences, because according to a recent poll, only 8% of Democrat voters believe that Charlie Kirks assassin is left-leaning, despite the shell casings, the evidence from his family and friends, the texts about hating Kirks ideology, and the governor of Utah saying his ideology is left-wing.This lie was so perfectly coordinated, as they so often are, that wide swaths of the American people were deceitfully misled on the very airwaves they own.When Jimmy Kimmel said that Republicans were desperately trying to characterize the shooter as anything but MAGA, he was calling the shooter MAGA. If I say, Kamala Harris is desperately trying to characterize her campaign as anything but a disaster, I am calling it a disaster.And that brings us back to Carr, who has every right to say that if ABC is going to let this guy go out and lie, night after night, always to the benefit of the Democrats, thats a problem on publicly owned airwaves.Over the past half century, the big three networks and PBS were traditionally viewed as more trustworthy for the specific reason that their reliance on the government meant they had to play by the FCC rules. But today, all four of these networks are indistinguishable from CNN or MSNBC, cable networks that aren't subject to the same rules.What happened to Jimmy Kimmel was mostly just corporate nature at work. His show was dead weight. Hed turned himself into almost entirely a political figure and the affiliates didnt want that. It was those affiliates, not the FCC, that preempted the show.But to the extent that Carr influenced the decision, good for him and good for the FCC. This is exactly how it is supposed to work. The government says to an industry, "There is corruption here, you fix it, or we will."CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThere will be purists, many on the right, who pull their chins into scowls and say that they just dont like the whole idea of the government jawboning private companies, or appearing to interfere in editorial decisions.But that position leaves the people powerless in a situation in which every time Democrats have power they seek to censor conservatives, usually secretly, and every time Republicans do, they say, "Sorry, cant help."Brendan Carr is changing that. His FCC has a mission to ensure that the very networks who enjoy the public airwaves are not discriminating against half of the country by banning their viewpoints from programming.Conservatives have too long accepted that on our major on air, publicly subsidized networks, they dont even get a seat at the kiddie table, because they arent even in the room.The public airwaves are not a liberal fiefdom, nor are they to be solely controlled by those in bright blue coastal cities. The rest of America wants some say in all this back, and that is exactly what the FCC is giving them.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS

    House passes Trump-backed plan to avert government shutdown
    The House passed a short-term federal funding bill backed by President Donald Trump on Friday morning, paving the way for averting a government shutdown if the Senate follows suit.The legislation is aimed at keeping the government funded at current levels through Nov. 21 with a measure known as a continuing resolution (CR), designed to give House and Senate appropriators more time to strike a deal on fiscal 2026 federal spending.Fiscal 2025 is slated to end on Sept. 30, and Congress risks a partial shutdown if the CR does not make it to Trump's desk for a signature by then.SENATE REPUBLICANS BRAND LOOMING CRISIS A 'SCHUMER SHUTDOWN' AS DEMOCRATS DIG INIn addition to keeping the government open until just before Thanksgiving, the legislation also includes an added $30 million to boost lawmaker security through a mutual aid fund for Capitol law enforcement and local police.That decision was made as concerns over political violence have skyrocketed in recent months, including after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah last week.The CR also honors a White House request for an additional $58 million in combined security funding for the judicial and executive branches, as well as $1 billion allocated for Washington, D.C.'s budget after Congress repealed that sum earlier this year.A shutdown could be politically costly for both Republicans and Democrats.Democratic leaders had threatened for days to oppose the bill, infuriated over being left out of CR negotiations and demanding increased funding for healthcare subsidies.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., was criticizing the CR as recently as Friday morning, less than an hour before the vote.TRUMP PRESSURES REPUBLICANS TO PASS A CONTINUING RESOLUTION TO AVERT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN"Today, there's a choice before every single member of the House of Representatives: will we stand up for the healthcare of the American people, or will we bend the knee to Donald Trump and his continued efforts to gut healthcare for everyday Americans?" Jeffries said."We're voting no on a partisan Republican spending bill, and we'll continue to defend the healthcare of the American people."Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had precious little wiggle room going into the vote, affording to lose only two Republicans if all Democrats turned against it.But in the Senate, where at least several Democratic votes will be needed to meet the 60-vote threshold to advance the legislation, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is under significant pressure from his left flank to buck the GOP-led bill.Schumer angered progressives in March when he cast a key vote to help avert a government shutdown with another Republican-led bill.Republicans, meanwhile, have been readying to place the blame on a potential shutdown squarely on Democrats' shoulders.Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday evening, "House Republicans are taking a very important Vote to pass a CLEAN TEMPORARY FUNDING BILL. The Leader of the Democrats, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, wants to shut the Government down.""Republicans want the Government to stay open. Every House Republican should UNIFY, and VOTE YES!" Trump wrote.Democrats released their own alternative CR plan this week, but Johnson told Fox News' "Special Report" that it was "filled with partisan wish lists and poison pills and demands."The Senate is expected to consider both versions and could take a vote as early as Friday.

    Charlie Kirk funeral receives highest security designation from federal officials amid reports of threats
    Federal law enforcement agencies are monitoring for threats ahead of Charlie Kirk's funeral in Arizona this weekend, according to a new report.They are "tracking several threats of unknown credibility," according to a law enforcement bulletin obtained by ABC News."Violent extremists and unaffiliated lone offenders may view the memorial service or related events as attractive attack targets due to the attendance of these individuals, other senior U.S. government officials, state and local government officials, and political activists and due to major international media attention," the memo reportedly says.RED HATS AND CHANTS OF 'USA' MARK VIGIL HONORING SLAIN CONSERVATIVE LEADER CHARLIE KIRK: 'ACT'Federal authorities have long warned about potential lone wolf attackers."The U.S. Secret Service has been designated as the Federal Coordinator for this effort.
