    Charlie Kirk assassination divides us. Bible teaches us to overcome evil with good
    If you feel heavy, you are not alone. In the past two weeks, America has been reminded once again, with a severity that is hard to overstate that words have weight. They can heal. They can divide. And sometimes, they can even destroy.The assassination of Charlie Kirk has become more than a headline; it is a tremor running through every conversation across our nation, every thread on social media and every living room where politics is discussed. The reverberations are everywhere: at the White House, where the administrations response has been swift and deeply personal; at memorials and vigils; and in the hearts of those who admired Kirk or disagreed with him. The storm of grief, anger and anxiety will not clear soon.Its easy to see why. For many, Kirk represented more than a movement he was a voice that challenged, provoked, and, at his best, insisted that disagreement is not destruction. His reliance on scripture anchored him in something deeper than daily headlines. When the world felt chaotic, he turned to verses that have steadied millions before him. "The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." (Proverbs 12:18 NIV) It was a call to debate fiercely, but with respect a challenge to listen like you might be wrong.CHRISTIAN LEADERS HONOR CHARLIE KIRKS PURPOSE AND CONVICTION AFTER FATAL SHOOTINGBut in the wake of his death, opposing sides have drawn their own conclusions some demanding accountability, others fearing retribution. The tragedy has not united us in mourning, but accelerated the splitting of our national seams.If the past two weeks have felt unusually dark, its no wonder. They have reinforced some of the heaviest trends we face as a country.CHARLIE KIRK'S PASTOR GIVES AN UPDATE ON THE FAMILYNone of this is sustainable. You cant celebrate a mans murder on one side and threaten retribution on the other and expect healing. You cant weaponize grief and not expect blowback.Charlie Kirks best moments were not his sharpest retorts, but his willingness to debate openly, even in hostile rooms. He drew on scripture not to divide, but to anchor. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the cosmic powers over this present darkness. (Ephesians 6:12) For Kirk, the real battle wasnt against each other, but against the forces that would pull us apart.Scripture is clear: "Do not take revenge, my dear friends It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. (Romans 12:19 NIV) Grace and forgiveness are not weaknesses they are the only things that can break the cycle of grievance and retribution.Its easy on both sides to mock, to gloat, to double down on anger. Its harder to listen, to debate without dehumanizing, to choose restraint when it feels least deserved.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONBut that is the only way forward. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21 NIV) We dont have to mirror each others rage or bitterness. We can guard our spirits, set boundaries with grace, and refuse to let someone elses darkness define our response.If you feel overwhelmed, its understandable. The words swirling around us are heavy, often toxic. But scripture and the best of our civic tradition offers an alternative: be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry. (James 1:1920) Kindness and compassion are not naive; they are necessary.Words dont just describe our world; they shape it. They can set a room on fire, or they can bring a measure of peace. Right now, too many words are deepening the divide and raising the stakes.We all have a choice. We can keep using words as weapons, or we can use them to build bridges, even across the toughest divides. If we choose grace over grievance, forgiveness over vengeance, and truth spoken in love over lies shouted in anger, perhaps words can still save us if only we let them.No matter where you stand, perhaps the real invitation in this moment is to see beyond the headlines and hashtags to recognize the weight our words carry, and choose them with care. In this, we might find not just a way to move forward, but a way to heal.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM LEE HARTLEY CARTER

    Online gore forums are gateway to extremism in mass shootings, normalizing horror for kids: experts
    Authorities are examining the online activity of the 22-year-old suspect charged in the fatal shooting of conservative speaker Charlie Kirk, as experts warn that digital subcultures are increasingly fueling acts of violence.In a crime that shocked the nation, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson is accused of carrying out what investigators describe as a carefully planned assassination. Unlike most mass shooters who expect to die during their attacks, an expert tells Fox News Digital that Robinson devised escape routes and left behind a detailed digital trail."This one is incredibly interesting because of how long he says, through the text that has been disclosed, he had been planning this and for how long it seems like he laid in wait," said George Brauchler, a prosecutor who has handled some of the nations most high-profile mass shootings."Most of them have no plans to escape. They have plans to die right there, either by their hand or the good guys who stop them. But this is someone who planned to get away with this. Hes different in a way."MOM OF CHARLIE KIRK'S ALLEGED ASSASSIN DESCRIBES RADICAL SHIFT IN LAST YEAR: 'MORE PRO-GAY AND TRANS RIGHTS'Investigators are still piecing together Robinsons motives."He grew up, it looks like, in a decent home, surrounded by an intact family, all the markers that you want for youth," Brauchler said. "And somehow brought himself to a place where he was willing to shoot and kill another human being in cold blood. Thats a heck of a decision."From Columbine to Aurora, mass shootings often carry echoes of past tragedies. Brauchler notes that Columbine remains a dark touchstone for copycats."In every case Ive handled Aurora, STEM, even two 16-year-old girls who idolized the Columbine shooters it shows up," he said. "Columbine just has a certain mystique and mythology to it that people can look back on and say, I want to be like them. Or in the Aurora Theater case, I want to be better than them. I want to create more victims than them," he continued.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION SUSPECT AWAITS CHARGES AS UTAH RESIDENTS DESCRIBE ALLEGED KILLER AS VERY QUIETWhat has changed since 1999 is the digital landscape, Brauchler said, noting that online forums amplify manifestos, glorify killers, and celebrate body counts like video game scores. After Kirks murder, graphic crime scene images spread within minutes a chilling reminder of cultural desensitization."Whats different now is the real-time exposure. Kids see killings and violence on social media instantly, up close. That kind of desensitization didnt exist during Columbine or Aurora," Brauchler said.The troubling details of this incident, and others like it, fit a pattern recently identified by the ADL Center on Extremism. Analysts at the organization have observed similar trends in at least four school shootings carried out by minors over the past year."We need to figure out what theyre watching, what theyre exposing themselves to because its clearly driving some of these kids to believe this kind of horror is normal," Brauchler warned.On Sept. 10, 2025, a 16-year-old named Desmond Holly carried out a shooting at Evergreen High School, injuring two classmates before taking his own life. At a press briefing the following day, a spokesperson from the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office stated that Holly had been "radicalized by some extremist network," though declined to go into further detail, the organization reported.According to research by the ADL, the shooter had spent a significant amount of time in online environments that promote violent and extremist ideologies. Investigators found that he ultimately adopted these beliefs himself.The shooter maintained an account on a graphic content forum called WatchPeopleDie, where he had interacted with posts discussing mass shootings in Parkland (2018), Buffalo (2022), and a 2017 attack at a mosque in Quebec City, according to the report.Records obtained by the organization suggest the shooter joined the platform on Dec. 26, 2024 falling between two other school shootings: one at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, and another at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee.But this shooter isnt the only attacker tied to this online space. In a report published in Aug. 2025, the ADL revealed that Natalie Rupnow and Solomon Henderson, the individuals behind the Madison and Nashville shootings, were also users of the site. That same month, a teenager in Morocco posted a manifesto and announced plans for a mass stabbing on WatchPeopleDie, as well as on X and 8kun.The ADLs findings show that the platform frequently hosts white supremacist, antisemitic, and other extremist material. Users, including minors, are exposed to highly graphic violence that is often celebrated by the community, which may lead to desensitization and a heightened risk of radicalization and ideologically driven violence, the organization noted.Still, confronting these spaces poses constitutional challenges. "Im not ready to trade the First Amendment for an extra layer of security," Brauchler said. "But we have to invest in law enforcement and digital forensics. These sites are out there, and theyre dangerous."FAMILY TURNS IN SUSPECT IN CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION, ALMOST UNHEARD OF: BEHAVIOR SPECIALIST"I want every level of government to be curious about the motives of anyone that engages in this kind of homicidal behavior," he continued. "One, to find out what it is that may have triggered them or what fascinated them and what they had a passion for."Brauchler added that while the FBI reportedly had early warnings about the Evergreen school shooter, the sheer volume of online threats makes timely intervention nearly impossible.Brauchler says prevention begins with vigilance."See something, say something, if it gives you concern," Brauchler emphasized, recalling how tips thwarted two teenagers plotting an attack at Mountain Vista High School. "That's how this thing got disrupted before they were able to pull it off. It was a nosy mom and an anonymous student tip."He also advocates for armed school resource officers in every building."Mass shooters are cowards, Brauchler said bluntly. "They plan from the standpoint of two beliefs. One, that they will have the upper hand because of surprise, and two, they will have the upper hand because they will be the only guns in the school. It's not 100% guarantee, but they tend not to act when they see a uniformed officer."Still, he acknowledged that no system can guarantee safety."Evil exists," he said. "But when communities remain alert and law enforcement has the tools to monitor threats, tragedies can be prevented."

    Trump admin pushes Chicago Public Schools to abolish 'Black Student Success Plan'
    The Trump administration is pushing Chicago Public Schools to abolish its "Black Student Success Plan" and guidelines allowing transgender students to participate in sports and use bathroom facilities that are consistent with the gender with which they identify.Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon posted on X that the departments Office of Civil Rights (OCR) issued a letter to Chicago Public Schools saying that the district violated anti-discrimination laws through its "exclusionary Black Student Success Plan," which they noted solely serves Black students.Chicago Public Schools five-year Magnet School Assistance Program, which according to ChalkBeat received $15 million in grants last year, could lose that funding.The Magnet School Assistance Program is statutorily obligated to promote desegregation in order to "increase interaction among students of different social, economic, ethnic, and racial backgrounds." The letter states that "prior to grant disbursement, OCRs Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights must sign an assurance that the applicant will not engage in discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, or disability.'"TRUMP DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ROLLS OUT LATEST STEP TO EXPAND SCHOOL CHOICE NATIONWIDEThe Trump administration pressed Chicago Public Schools further to end its "Guidelines Regarding the Support of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students," which they called "facially discriminatory" on the basis of sex. Chicago Public Schools was ordered to adopt biology-based definitions for the words "male" and "female" to align with federal statutes."It says nothing about the feelings of safety and inclusivity of the female students who are forced to play against males," the letter added."As a result of these findings, I will not certify CPS grant under 20 U.S.C. 7231d(c). Likewise, CPS MSAP grant will be non-continued under 34 C.F.R. 75.253(a)(5) because it is no longer in the best interest of the Federal Government," the letter stated.CPS was ordered to comply with a list of demands from the Trump administration in order for its grant to be certified.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THREATENS TO PULL FEDERAL FUNDS FROM VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN GENDER POLICY DISPUTEThe Department of Education called out other Magnet Schools in New York City and Fairfax Public Schools (Va.) for allegedly disobeying federal law."Protecting students' civil rights is non-negotiable.@USEdGov will not certify that Magnet Schools in New York City, Chicago, & Fairfax Public Schools are following the law when they are clearly not," McMahon posted on X.The letter came after the OCR launched an investigation in Chicago Public Schools' support of transgender students that aligns with Illinois statutes and the district's Black Student Success Plan in the spring."They have 3 days to come into compliance. The clock is ticking," she added.Chicago Public Schools officials told Fox News Digital that they do "not comment on ongoing investigations."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    Celebrity sex tape broker says OnlyFans killed his career, changed the business forever
    OnlyFans has killed Kevin Blatts career.The celebrity sex tape broker, who infamously promoted the intimate recordings of Paris Hilton in the early 2000s, believes the subscription-based platform makes it easier for celebrities to sleep at night without fear of leaks."There just isnt that potential to make any money, not the way that we used to," Blatt told Fox News Digital. "Its a different day and age now. The technologys changed it all. With sites like OnlyFans, you could put up your own content. Now you put out a sex tape just to become a blip on the radar for TMZ or the national news to talk about."CHARLIE SHEEN OPENS UP ABOUT SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS WITH MEN FOR THE FIRST TIMEBlatt is speaking out in a new A&E docuseries, "Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes." The show offers an in-depth look at how racy footage ignited public obsession, sparked outrage and impacted the lives of those involved. It features the stories of celebrities like Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, as well as Kim Kardashian, Colin Farrell and Farrah Abraham, among others.Blatt admitted he hesitated to come forward about his adult entertainment past."Im very cautious of the media because you never know how theyre going to portray you," said Blatt."But look, sex tapes, as we know them, are over. The business models over. Theres no way of profiting from them anymore unless people contact me to take them off the market. Thats what I do a lot these days help people take down videos and information off the internet. But the bottom line is you cant make money because of the privacy laws that are in place and the platforms that are readily accessible.""I think the public is smart enough to know that a lot of these celebrities are promoting themselves or using platforms like OnlyFans to attract more attention," he added.Over the years, OnlyFans has become known as a place where sex workers can get paid more safely and stars can directly interact with fans on their terms.WATCH: DONNA DERRICO CLEARS UP BIGGEST ONLYFANS MISCONCEPTIONMany sex workers joined OnlyFans during the pandemic when in-person venues shut down or became more dangerous because of COVID-19, the Associated Press reported. According to the outlet, the site has been tremendously lucrative for some people, allowing them to earn thousands of dollars each month.As of late 2024, OnlyFans reported having about 377.5 million user and subscriber accounts, according to Business Insider. The outlet also reported that creators of the platform earned $6.63 billion in 2023."Sex tapes? Those days are over," Blatt stressed. " Some people dont realize you cant really profit from them. Many folks benefit from putting themselves up on a site like OnlyFans instead of having to market through an adult company."" The future of the business is really you being able to be your own network and syndicate your own stuff via any platform where you can submit user-generated content," he added.In 2021, OnlyFans announced it had suspended a plan to ban sexually explicit content following an outcry from its creators.Advocates for sex workers had criticized the planned ban, arguing that it would push people into more dangerous street-based work. They said taking away a safer virtual space and cutting peoples income makes them more vulnerable to the risk of being trafficked, the Associated Press reported.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERBlatt claimed that celebrities now shouldnt worry about a sex tape being sold."As youll see in the docuseries, I talk about the legalities of it But honestly, should they be worried? No."But the damage from past leaks has been lasting. In her 2023 memoir, Hilton shed new light on her 2003 tape with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon."I don't remember that much about the night he wanted to make a videotape while we made love," wrote the hotel heiress, as quoted by The Times of London. "He had often said it was something he did with other women, but I felt weird and uncomfortable about it. I always told him, I cant. Its too embarrassing. He kept pushing. I kept making excuses.""He told me if I wouldn't do it, he could easily find someone who would," the mom of two wrote. "That was the worst thing I could think of to be dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn't know how to play grown-up games."" I had to drink myself silly. Quaaludes helped. But I did it. I have to own that. I knew what he wanted, and I went with it."What should have been a private moment between two people was released to the public. As Hilton struggled with her sexuality, the footage spread quickly. Looking back, the now-44-year-old believed that her life "was over" and the career she envisioned for herself wasnt possible. She felt violated.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"The world thinks of me as a sex symbol, and I'm here for that, because symbol literally means icon," she wrote. "But when people saw that sex tape, they didn't say 'icon,' they said 'slut.' They said 'whore.'"When asked if there was ever a point in his career where he felt that he had gone too far, Blatt responded that since then, "I've turned my skillset from putting things out to taking things off the market.""I had an epiphany at one point," he said. "Not only were a lot of these people thrown into a situation they didnt ask for, but [now], I like to help people out. There was never a point where I thought what I was doing was horrible or going to ruin somebodys life."And to be honest with you I dont believe that any of these sex tapes have really harmed anybodys career. Theyve only enhanced peoples careers and put them back in the zeitgeist. There have been a lot of people who got shows, cameos and movies as a result of becoming popular on TMZ because of the sex tape. Some people think Im an extortionist. But people dont realize that some of these celebrities were willing participants in the marketing of their sex tapes."" Theres a general misconception that Im this bad guy," he continued. "Im really anything but a bad guy. Im just a nice Jewish boy from Cleveland."Life for Blatt these days is scandal-free, just as he prefers it."Im not stressing out," he said. "Im not looking over my shoulder to see whos going to be suing me or if someone is going to come after me I know the laws. I know how it all works. Back in the day, when I used to get sued every other week by some A-list celebrity power lawyer, I was running and hiding. I thought I was going to go to jail. Now, my life is good. Ive become a different person."

    Older adults should target these muscles when strength-training, says fitness pro
    Strength training is key to staying healthy as people age, with experts recommending working major muscle groups at least two days per week.Marfred Suazo, a fitness professional known as Fonz the Trainer in New York City, has worked with thousands of older adults to build strength and longevity.Suazo spoke with Fox News Digital about which muscles are most important for seniors to target.(See the video at the top of the article.)FITNESS EXPERT REVEALS 6 PILLARS OF STRENGTH TRAINING THAT OLDER ADULTS SHOULD MASTER"Most people train what they see in the mirror chest, arms, quads and maybe abs if theyre feeling ambitious," Suazo told Fox News Digital. "Thats what I call mirror training."The problem with focusing only on "mirror training," he said, is that youll end up out of balance, with rounded shoulders, a tight chest and eventually a sore back or knees."If you want to age strong, pain-free and confident, you need to flip the script," Suazo said. "You need non-mirror training training the muscles you cant see but feel every single day. These are the muscles that keep you standing tall, moving with power and living without pain."Suazo learned firsthand about the benefits of this training when he was swimming competitively and training in martial arts.WANT BETTER HEART HEALTH? START BY TACKLING YOUR WEAKEST LINK, CARDIAC SURGEON SAYS"I learned that the muscles behind me were what made me faster in the pool, quicker on my feet and harder to knock off balance," he said. "Strengthening the back side of your body changes everything."Below are some of the most critical muscles for older adults to focus on, according to the trainer.These muscles are the foundation of non-mirror training, according to Suazo."Your glutes and hamstrings give you the power to sit, stand, climb and protect your back from pain," he said.To target these areas, Suazo recommends doing deadlifts, hip thrusts and single leg bridges. "Take your time, control the movement and squeeze at the top," he advised. "This is where the real work happens."Strengthening these muscles will keep you from looking hunched or slouched as you age, according to Suazo.VIRAL 12-3-30 TREADMILL TREND MAY BURN MORE FAT THAN RUNNING, RESEARCHERS SAY"A strong back pulls your shoulders into alignment and lets you breathe better," he said.Bent-over rows, cable rows and bodyweight rows are some of the trainers favorite moves for this zone. "Pull through the elbows and picture yourself standing taller with every rep," he suggested."Your core is more than what you see in the mirror," Suazo said. "True core training is about stability and spine protection."His favorite move for stability is the Paloff press. "Anchor a band, press it straight out and resist rotation," he instructed. "Do it standing or kneeling. This is how you teach your body to brace and protect your back during everyday life."TWO KEY HEART HEALTH METRICS COULD DETERMINE HOW LONG YOU'LL LIVE"Healthy shoulders are a must if you want to keep training for decades," Suazo said. "Theyre involved in almost every movement, so you need them strong and mobile."For this area, the trainer recommends face pulls, rear delt flies, light band rotations and controlled overhead presses. "This combination keeps your shoulders feeling good and moving well," he said."Grip strength is one of the first things people lose with age, and its one of the most important a strong grip keeps you independent," Suazo said.Farmers carries are his go-to for improving grip strength. Suazo recommends aiming to carry 70% of your body weight in each hand."Pick up weights, stand tall and walk with intention," he suggested. "Hanging from a pull-up bar works, too. Build that grip and youll notice a difference in every other lift."Building these five muscle groups complements the six core pillars of strength push, pull, carry, hinge, overhead press and squat, according to the trainer."Your hinge and carry get more powerful with strong glutes and hamstrings," Suazo said. "Your pulls and presses feel stronger with a stable back and core. Even your posture improves, which makes your mirror muscles look better, too."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe trainer offered this simple way to get started by targeting the non-mirror muscle groups."Non-mirror training is how you build a body that lasts its how you stay strong, upright and pain-free," he said. "When you train the back side of your body, the front side looks and performs better."For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThat said, Suazo said its still important to do the basic strength training moves, like push-ups and curls."But start giving equal attention to the muscles you dont see in the mirror. Thats where the real difference is made not just in how you look, but in how you move."

    Elon Musk resurfaces Harris's old call to suspend Trump from Twitter platform amid Kimmel controversy
    Elon Musk resurfaced former Vice President and former Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' years-old call for President Donald Trump's ban from social media as she claims "free speech" concerns over Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air.Harris has weighed in on Disneys decision to pull ABCs "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air "indefinitely," defending Kimmel and slamming what she calls an "outright abuse of power" by the Trump administration."What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations from television networks to newspapers are capitulating to these threats," Harris wrote on X about Kimmels suspension. "We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech. We, the people, deserve better."Many X users, including Musk, the platforms owner, were quick to point out Harris own past statements, some suggested they appeared to support censorship.Musk resurfaced a 2019 tweet by Harris when Trump was serving his first time. Harris, a U.S. senator representing California at the time, was running for vice president when she made the post on X, now Twitter."Look let's be honest, @realDonaldTrump's Twitter account should be suspended," Harris wrote on Sept. 30, 2019.DISNEYS JIMMY KIMMEL BENCHING PROMPTS CELEBRATION, BUT ALSO CAUTION, FROM CONSERVATIVESMusk re-posted the message on Friday, adding a thinking face emoji.Kimmel's show was pulled after he accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on Tyler Robinson, who is accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in an indictment."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said, sparking outrage.There have been several questions about the role the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) played in the suspension. Those questioning the move are on both sides of the aisle, with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warning conservatives that they "will regret" setting the precedent."What he is saying is Jimmy Kimmel was lying. That's true, he was lying, and lying to the American people is not in the public interest," Cruz said on an episode of his podcast. "He threatens explicitly we're going to cancel ABC News' license. We're going to take him off the air, so ABC cannot broadcast anymore He threatens it."CRUZ WARNS CONSERVATIVES 'WILL REGRET' FCC CENSORSHIP PUSH AGAINST ABC, OTHER MEDIA OUTLETSFCC Chairman Brendan Carr joined Fox News' Sean Hannity on Sept. 17, the day the suspension was announced, and defended the move."Broadcasters are different than any other form of communication," Carr said, pointing to affiliate groups like Nexstar and Sinclair that announced they would no longer carry "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" He argued that local stations acted appropriately, saying they were "standing up to serve the interests of their community.""Over the years, the FCC walked away from enforcing that public interest obligation," Carr said. "I dont think were better off as a country for it."FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR DEFENDS ABC AFFILIATES PULLING JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW AFTER MONOLOGUE ABOUT CHARLIE KIRKWhite House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Saturday that the decision to "fire Jimmy Kimmel and to cancel his show came from executives at ABC.""That has now been reported," Leavitt said. "And I can assure you it did not come from the White House and there was no pressure given from the president of the United States."The Biden-Harris administration has seen its share of censorship controversies, particularly in its interactions with social media companies during the COVID-19 pandemic.During a 2021 press conference, then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the administration was "flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn August 2024, just ahead of the presidential election, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter that the Biden-Harris administration pressured Facebook to censor Americans.Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, more than a year after providing the committee with thousands of documents as part of its investigation into content moderation on online platforms.Fox News Digital's Greg Wehner contributed to this report.
