"The sky is burnin" Burnin Sky by Bad Company, 1977Humans have looked for omens since the days when they wore loin cloths and watched shadows dance on cave walls from a crudely constructed fire.Ancient peoples believed celestial events like an eclipse, a full moon or even a violent storm augur signs of a looming disaster.But lets face it. Contemporary humans really arent that much different from our ancestors.REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: DEMOCRATS' SHUTDOWN GAMBLE REVEALS PARTY DIVISIONS, SCHUMER'S WEAK SPOT WITH THE LEFTThats why much of official Washington took note of the dramatic sunset visible from the U.S. Capitol and National Mall last Monday evening, just one day before the government shutdown.On that night, as Paul Rodgers of Bad Company would sing, "The sky is burnin."The bluff which doubles as Capitol Hill offers a vista to view stunning sunsets. The setting sun frequently backlights ridges of clouds, It coats them with shades of magenta, plum and lilac. Its all visible as you stare westward from the Capitol, toward the horizon, stretching beyond the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and Potomac River.Ive witnessed some breathtaking sunsets from Capitol Hill over the years. But last Mondays sunset was different.This was a confident sunset. It knew it was a good one, producing hues Ive never before observed from my perch on Capitol Hill. This sunset didnt just feature bands of orange light, diffused through the clouds like an oversized laser tag display. The colors on this one simply drenched the cloud bank with a palette of dark pink, radiant strawberry and dragon fruit.The chalky obelisk of the Washington Monument punctured the sky midway down the National Mall. The Monument in the foreground completed the tableau. The spiky tower served as a contrast to the soft glow of the clouds, heated by the sun, 93 million miles in the distance.TRUMPS WEEK IN REVIEW: SHUTDOWN SHOWDOWNS AND ARMED CARTEL CONFLICTThis sunset was a bombshell. One that you see only few times in a lifetime if youre lucky. This sunset outclassed regularly gems which are seen on Capitol Hill in the fall and winter.But there was something else about this sunset.Despite its elegance and swagger, there was something foreboding. It was the warm reds and oranges. The sunsets here are never quite that color. And perhaps the fact that one rarely sees a display as striking as this one was all that was needed to make the entire production disturbing.Frankly, contemporary humans arent that much more sophisticated than the cavemen trying to decode what a full moon or a solar eclipse foretell. Many inside the Beltway who witnessed the special sunset. divined meaning into it. They knew that a government shutdown loomed on Tuesday night heading into Wednesday. And so, such a fascinating, yet ominous sky presaged what fate would befall Congress and the federal workforce.It would be hard to rival Monday nights sunset. But believe it or not, Tuesdays sunset lapped its predecessor. Reporters and photographers were assembled in the Senate Radio/TV Gallery awaiting separate press conferences by Republican and Democratic leaders - just hours before the scheduled government shutdown. One story below in the Capitol, the Senate blocked two competing plans to avert a shutdown. Thats right when the Tuesday sunset raised the curtain on its show.This sunset wasnt as red as its predecessor. But more tangelo. There was a presence of creamsicle with a dash of peach parfait. The clouds separated in the west, just barely allowing a hint of blue sky and white clouds to sneak through. But everything close to the surface was an orange foam. Softer than the one before. Kind of like a whipped dessert or mousse.FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN SPARKS BLAME GAME IN CRUCIAL RACE FOR GOVERNORSurely a sunset as fulfilling as this one would also envisage whats ahead in Washington even though everyone knew the government was about to shut down in a matter of hours.But Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., suggested there was no soothsaying in the sunset."There is nothing like the simplicity of a sunset," said Thune as he began his press conference.Sometimes the evening wonder of a sunset is just that: a sunset. No need to read prophecy about government shutdowns into something which happens nightly, spectacular or not.In fact, there are meteorological reasons for the recent dynamic sunsets in Washington. They have nothing to do with a lapse in appropriations, Obamacare subsidies or Budget Director Russ Vought.Hurricane Imelda was a Category 2 storm spinning through the empty Atlantic. The cyclone was hundreds of miles off the eastern seaboard. But Imelda played a role in the special sunsets.HERE'S WHAT TRUMP WANTS TO DO TO RESHAPE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DURING THE SHUTDOWNHigh clouds from Imelda drifted well north of the storm in the mid-Atlantic. These are clouds which reach 20,000 feet or higher. They carry ice crystals instead of water, thanks to their altitude.The clouds refract the sunlight, scattering shorter wavelength colors like blue, green and purple. But the ice crystals expand longer color wavelengths like orange, yellow and red. Thats the phenomenon which triggers these exceptional sunsets. Not lapses in appropriations, arguing about spending or the government shutdown.But perhaps theres something even more influential when it comes to these electrifying sunsets and their pops of orange: Taylor Swift.Yep.Taylor Swift just dropped her new album "Life of a Showgirl." Symbolism and metaphor are the quintessence of Swift. And the so-called "Portofino orange glitter" shade is what defines the record as Swift enters her "orange" phase leaving behind the "Eras" era.Dont forget that on the Eras Tour, Swift would always exit the stage through an orange door.Hmm.Since the album came out, retailers see spikes in the sales of orange blouses, skirts, sweaters and handbags thanks to Swifts sway. This is why Dunkin Donuts and United Airlines tried to appeal to Swifties by throwing a dollop of orange onto their social media feeds."We looked like fire," Swift sings in the track Eldest Daughter on the new album.Just like the recent sunsets.Few on the planet are as influential as Swift. But thats with culture. But surely Swift as powerful as she is couldnt have something to do with the sunsets, right? These are all about ice crystals and hurricanes, right?You never know.But if Taylor Swift is so formidable presiding over the colors of a sunset, perhaps shes the only one who could end the government shutdown.And if she does, shell likely escort it out through an orange door.Just like the burnin sky sunsets visible lately in Washington.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young committed a bizarre turnover in the first quarter of his game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon.The Panthers had the ball with 6:38 left in the first quarter when he dropped back to pass. Dolphins pass-rusher Bradley Chubb put the pressure on the third-year quarterback. Young tried to pump fake Chubb, but he lost the football instead.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMChubb pushed Young out of the way to recover the fumble and get the Dolphins the ball back.NFL fans immediately jumped on Youngs abilities.The turnover led to a touchdown drive by Miami.EX-NFL STAR CRITICAL OF CARSON WENTZ AS VIKINGS QB SUFFERS INJURY VS BROWNSThe Dolphins had to go without him, but Tua Tagovailoa was targeting Darren Waller and Jaylen Waddle early in the game. To start the second quarter, Tagovailoa found running back DeVon Achane for a touchdown pass.Young later threw an interception to Minkah Fitzaptrick.Miami started the season 0-3, but was back in the win column on Monday when they defeated the New York Jets. Unfortunately, the team lost Tyreek Hill for the rest of the season in the win.Carolina came into the game with a 1-3 record as well. But Young has not really impressed fans with his play so far.He has 753 passing yards, five touchdown passes and three interceptions through four games. He had three touchdown passes in a 27-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2. But he had zero touchdown passes in a 30-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons.A win against the Dolphins may quiet some of the doubters.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

It's mission accomplished for Republicans in a second state they control in the high-stakes political battle over congressional redistricting, pitting President Donald Trump and the GOP against the Democrats.Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe last weekend signed into law a new congressional map that is likely to hand Republicans an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of next year's midterms elections.Missouri, a one-time swing state that has dramatically shifted to the right over the past decade and a half, is the latest battleground in the congressional redistricting showdown after the passage of new maps in GOP-dominated Texas and a redistricting push by Democrats in heavily blue California.With Democrats currently needing just a three-seat pickup in next year's midterms to win back the House majority, each seat could be critical.REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SIGNS INTO LAW TRUMP-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL MAP"I was proud to officially sign the Missouri First Map into law today ahead of the 2026 midterm election," Kehoe said in a statement. "We believe this map best represents Missourians, and I appreciate the support and efforts of state legislators, our congressional delegation, and President Trump in getting this map to my desk."Trump, in a social media statement following passage in the GOP-dominated state legislature last month, called the new map "FANTASTIC" and said it "will help send an additional MAGA Republican to Congress in the 2026 Midterm Elections."Republicans currently control six of Missouri's eight congressional seats.Democrats are vowing to fight the new maps with legal challenges and other opponents are gathering petition signatures to force a statewide referendum on the redistricting law.ABBOTT CLEARS FINAL REDISTRICTING HURDLE AS TEXAS SENATE PASSES NEW TRUMP-APPROVED MAPKehoe announced Missouri's special legislative session to pass the new map as Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas signed into law a redistricting bill passed by the Republican supermajority in the state legislature that aims to create up to five right-leaning congressional districts at the expense of current Democrat-controlled seats in the reliably red state.The moves in Missouri and Texas are part of a broad effort by the GOP to pad its razor-thin House majority to keep control of the chamber in the 2026 midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.Trump and his political team are aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House, when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterm elections.Democrats are fighting back against the rare, but not unheard-of mid-decade redistricting.California state lawmakers approved a special ballot proposition this November to obtain voter approval to temporarily sidetrack the state's nonpartisan redistricting commission and return the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democrat-dominated legislature.The effort in California, which aims to create five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts and counter the shift in Texas, is being spearheaded by two-term Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is seen as a likely 2028 Democratic presidential contender.With the new maps in Texas and Missouri signed into law, and voters in California weighing in at the ballot box this fall, here's a look at which states could be next in the redistricting battle.OhioState lawmakers in the Buckeye State missed a deadline this past Tuesday to approve a new, bipartisan map. They're under a court order to come up with a new map because the one used the past two election cycles didn't receive enough bipartisan support.Since the GOP-controlled state legislature failed to come up with a new map, the task now falls to Ohio's Republican-dominated redistricting commission, which has until the end of the month to get the job done.Ohio was once a top battleground state, but Republicans have dominated statewide contests over the past decade.Republicans currently hold ten of the state's 15 U.S. House seats.Ohio, due to the mandated court order for a new map, was originally the only state expected to undergo congressional redistricting this year before Trump and his political team urged other Republican-controlled states to alter their maps.IndianaLawmakers in the Hoosier State, another one-time battleground where Republicans are now firmly in the majority, could meet in a special legislative session later this year to push through redistricting.Vice President JD Vance paid a visit to the Indiana Statehouse in early August to huddle with Republican leaders about redistricting. And a couple of weeks later a group of Indiana GOP lawmakers traveled to the nation's capital to meet with Vance and other Trump White House leaders.Republican Gov. Mike Braun, in recent interviews, said he wanted state lawmakers to take the lead on redistricting."I want it to be where it wasnt forced upon our legislature, have our leaders talk to their own caucus members," the governor told WOWO radio.FloridaOnce the biggest battleground prize in presidential elections, Florida is now firmly red.And Republican leaders are mulling a new map, with GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis this summer calling mid-decade redistricting "appropriate."A select panel in the Republican-dominated state legislature could meet next month to start discussion on congressional redistricting.MarylandDemocrats in heavily blue Maryland are weighing a redistricting push.A bill that would allow Maryland to undergo mid-decade redistricting if another state first passed new maps was introduced this summer by Democrats.Democrats currently hold seven of the state's 8 U.S. House seats.Other states considering altering their maps are Democrat-dominated Illinois and red states Kansas and Nebraska.Meanwhile, Democrats could pick up a seat in Republican-dominated Utah, where a judge recently ordered the GOP-controlled legislature to draw new maps after ruling that lawmakers four years ago ignored an independent commission approved by voters to prevent partisan gerrymandering.

While rumors of Keith Urban's troubled marriage to Nicole Kidman continue to swirl, his guitarist Maggie Baugh is finding herself suddenly center stage.Days before Kidman filed for divorce from Urban, Baugh a 25-year-old country star who is currently on tour with Urban and his band posted an eyebrow-raising video from a recent show that left fans questioning the nature of her relationship with the country star."When theyre tryna get to you, Maggie, Ill be your guitar player," Urban, 57, sang onstage replacing the original line, "When theyre tryna get to you, baby, Ill be the fighter."While an insider confirmed to Fox News Digital that there have been whispers of another woman, TMZwas first to report that the country star may already be involved with someone else.MAGGIE BAUGH: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT KEITH URBAN'S GUITAR PLAYER"All the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let's just say Nicole doesn't dispute that, but she's still shocked over it," a source close to Kidman told the outlet.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

A lifetime more," he captioned the post, per the outlet.The various posts include photos of the duo cuddled up, enjoying romantic outings and traveling. The couple is even rumored to be living together.Baugh recently teased a new single about fighting temptation among negativity.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"There is so many negative vibes in the world right now. I wanted to write this song to give some encouragement," Baugh wrote on Instagram, alongside a preview of the song.The lyrics to the song, titled "The Devil Win," read: "I don't know what the hell I believe in/ I don't know how to heal my soul or how to fight this feeling/ It's a damn good place to go/ No matter how close I get to the burning edge/ Tempting as it is/ I won't let the devil win."Fans were quick to point out the coincidental timing. "Hmm interesting lyrics here," one user wrote."Karma - does not hold a candle to Nicole," another wrote. Though others praised Baugh for her creativity."Maggie, you are a beautiful songwriter ~ along with all your other incredible talents. Continue to shine girl and live it up as your career is simply shining evermore! This is a great song," one fan quipped.On Sept. 30, Kidman filed for divorce from Urban, ending 19 years of marriage. She cited "irreconcilable differences" and ongoing "marital difficulties," according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.Kidman listed Sept. 30 as the couples date of separation.In the filing, the "Big Little Lies" star asked to be named the primary residential parent of the couples two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

The Houston Texans routed the Baltimore Ravens 44-10 on the road Sunday, and the blowout led to tempers flaring.Jaylin Noel, the Texans third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, scored his first career touchdown in the fourth quarter and celebrated like a certain Baltimore legend.Noel performed Ray Lewis signature dance in the end zone with teammates around him, but Ravens cornerback Jaire Alexander didnt appreciate the move. Alexander tried to strip Noel of his first career touchdown ball.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAfter a brief scuffle between the two players, Noel held on to the ball, though Alexander swiped his hand at him in frustration as tensions rose.The Ravens, chock-full of injuries to key players on both sides of the ball including quarterback Lamar Jackson and linebacker Roquan Smith went into halftime down 24-3. Things got worse when the third quarter began, and Noels touchdown made it 41-10 in the fourth.NFL WEEK 4 SCORES: WHICH TEAMS GOT INTO THE WIN COLUMN?Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud connected with receivers Nico Collins and Xavier Hutchinson for touchdown passes, with Hutchinson hauling in two during a resurgent afternoon for the Texans offense.The Ravens defense entered the game allowing the second-most yards per game (406.8) and the most points per game in the NFL (33.3).Many expected the Ravens to contend for the AFC North Division title and possibly make a Super Bowl run, but their 1-4 start through five weeks has been far from ideal.Cooper Rush, starting in place of Jackson, went 14-of-20 for 179 yards with three interceptions and no touchdowns. Derrick Henry found the end zone again but was limited to just 33 yards on 14 carries.Stroud threw for 244 yards and four touchdowns, while Nick Chubb led Houston with 61 rushing yards on 11 carries and a score. Stroud also completed passes to eight different Texans in a full-team effort.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The New York Jets failed to inspire their fan base on Sunday and, instead, put them through another abysmal performance.This time, it was the Dallas Cowboys who came into MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and dominated Gang Green, 37-22. The score was far from indicative of how the Jets played.The Jets controlled the ball for more than 34 minutes in the game, amassed 25 first downs on 12 drives and were 7-of-16 on third downs. But it was big plays from Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense that eventually sunk New York.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMPrescott had a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ferguson in the second quarter as the team took a 10-3 lead.

Running back Javonte Williams ran for 135 yards and a touchdown. He also had a 4-yard touchdown grab.JAXSON DART'S MOM DRAWS SPOTLIGHT DURING GIANTS' GAME AGAINST SAINTSRyan Flournoy led the Cowboys with six catches for 114 yards.

A massive and sudden blizzard on Mount Everest's Tibetan slopes trapped nearly 1,000 hikers in remote camps during China's National Day holiday weekend, according to state media reports.Reuters and Jimu news reported Sunday that at least 350 people have so far reached safety, while contact has been made with several hundred others still stranded in the snowbound region.The storm struck Friday, dumping heavy snow and rain across the Himalayas, reports said.The worst conditions came near the eastern Kangshung face of Everest, in Tibets Karma Valley, where elevations average over 13,779 ft.OLYMPIC HERO LAURA DAHLMEIER SEVERELY INJURED, MISSING AFTER HIGH-ALTITUDE ROCKFALLThe snowfall continued into Saturday, blocking roads and trails and cutting off access to several routes popular during Chinas eight-day National Day holiday.China Central Television (CCTV) also said the several hundred rescued trekkers were brought to Qudang township under the guidance of local rescue teams.Hundreds more are expected to reach the area in stages as villagers and emergency workers clear deep snow from mountain passes.Jimu news, a state-backed outlet, estimated that nearly 1,000 people, including hikers, guides and local support staff, had been trapped when the blizzard struck.TRAGEDY STRIKES AT POPULAR NATIONAL PARK AS CLIMBER MEETS FATAL END ON MOUNTAINRescue efforts have involved hundreds of local villagers and members of Tibets Blue Sky Rescue Team, who reported receiving distress calls about collapsed tents and cases of hypothermia."It was so wet and cold in the mountains, and hypothermia was a real risk," one trekker, Chen Geshuang, who was part of an 18-strong trekking team who made it to Qudang, told Reuters."The weather this year is not normal. The guide said he had never encountered such weather in October. And it happened all too suddenly," Chen said.The Tibetan regional government is said to have organized coordinated search and rescue operations, sending heavy machinery to reopen snow-blocked roads leading to the affected campsites.FIVE HELICOPTERS NEEDED TO SAVE INJURED SOLO CLIMBER ON CALIFORNIA'S SECOND-HIGHEST PEAKAuthorities suspended ticket sales and closed entry to the Everest Scenic Area on Saturday evening, according to the Tingri County Tourism Companys official WeChat account.It remains unclear whether trekkers on the north face of Everest, also located in Tibet but more easily accessible by road, were impacted by the same weather system.The extreme weather has also battered neighboring Nepal, where heavy rains have triggered landslides and flash floods, killing at least 47 people since Friday.Thirty-five people died in separate landslides in the eastern Ilam district near the Indian border, while others remain missing after being swept away by floodwaters, per Reuters.Fox News Digital reached out to the Central Tibetan Administration for comment.

In 2005, the quirky British television comedy "The Office" launched its American version, which, after a bumpy start, became one of the centurys most beloved sitcoms. Twenty years later, Peacock is offering a new slice of this TV universe with "The Paper."The setup is simple: Scrantons Dunder Mifflin was bought by a big corporation in Toledo that, along with a variety of paper products, including Softees toilet paper, also owns the local newspaper, the Truth Teller, where our story takes place.'SPLITSVILLE' REVIEW: MAKING COMEDIES GREAT AGAINAnyone unfortunate enough to have watched the pilot episode of the American "Office" knows that its among the worst 30 minutes in TV history. The problem was that they used the British script almost word for word, and it just didnt work.The writers quickly learned that in the American version, Michael Scott had to be more redeemable than David Brent, Jim Halpert had to be manlier than Tim Canterbury, and Dwight couldnt be a complete moron because our cultures, sensibilities and comedy are different.Just as British cultural sensibilities differed from American ones in 2005, the American sensibilities of 2005 are very different from those of 2025. The original "Office" had to compensate for geographical distance. For "The Paper," the distance is measured in time.This is evident from one of the first jokes, in which the villain, Esmerelda the managing editor, sends out an email on new editor-in-chief Neds first day saying that he "was not #MeTood" in an attempt to undermine him.Its a subtle dig at the overzealousness of the #MeToo movement, and it makes one wonder if the reason we had to wait so long for a reboot of "The Office" universe was that it had to wait out the puritanical #MeToo period.After all, from the beginning, when Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant created this documentary-style office sitcom, all the shows have essentially been about boundaries and social norms. You spend most of your life with co-workers but what is your actual relationship to them?As in "The Office," the romantic relationships in "The Paper" are the parts of the show that are the most fun and funny. Sparks fly immediately between Ned and Mare, the only other person at the paper with journalistic experience, and those scenes jump off the screen as they casually judge everyone else, la Jim and Pam.Likewise, the charming flirtations between Detrick and Nicole also sparkle in a disjointed and awkward late-Millennial way, with Nicole embarrassed by the attention that, deep down, she really wants.Another thing that stands out across the 10 episodes Peacock dropped all at once for binge-watching is that the central joke of the original "Office" doesnt work anymore in 2025.Both David Brent and Michael Scott regularly transgressed the emerging identitarian attitudes of 2005 such as when Michael apologized to Oscar for calling him a Mexican, as if it were a slur, or Brent told the camera how much cuter Dawn was when she first got hired.Brent and Scott were blissfully unaware of the new sets of rules about how one can talk in the workplace. That conflict created comedy. There is none of this in "The Paper" because, in 2025, everyone knows all of these workplace rules better than a Catholic priest knows the Nicene Creed.Two decades of relentless corporate trainings worked in real life and on TV.In place of misunderstandings about office etiquette, "The Paper" often substitutes journalistic ethics, as this wacky band of newcomers to news-gathering learn on their feet how to fairly present local stories.One aspect of this show that screams 2025 is the relationship between Esmerelda and Ned. Ned is her boss, and yet somehow, this 51-year-old woman who knows nothing about the news undermines him again and again without getting fired.Thankfully, as the show goes along, Esmerelda becomes a bit more human, but were still left with the sense that Ned is mainly cowed by her for fear of being viewed as a sexist.Perhaps in part because of the unique visual tricks of "The Office," its fascinating to walk back into this universe so many years later. It feels a bit like visiting a city where you used to live for the first time in a decade much is exactly the same, but just as much is very different.The one holdover character is Oscar Martinez, and theres an absolutely hilarious moment when he first sees the documentary crew, with a mix of fear and anger, and promises he will not be participating this time.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONQuickly, though, Oscar relents, falling easily back into the role of documentary subject, mirroring the experience of the viewer as we reenter this fictional world."The Office" might be the last major sitcom that Americans over 30 (and many under, due to reruns) all have in common. Its a cultural touchstone. When JD Vance mugged for the camera in the vice presidential debate last year, he instantly became Jim Halpert in the public imagination."The Paper" would seem to have little chance of becoming another such cultural phenomenon. Its not even on NBC, and in the world of streaming, no scripted program can achieve audiences like "The Office" had.Watching the show, however, feels like weve been given back something that was lost that foibles and honest human error in the workplace dont have to be fireable offenses; they can sometimes just be hilarious.With the excesses of the #MeToo movement in our cultural rearview mirror, "The Paper" is once again free to play with the emotional and love lives of its employees. And after so long much like after COVID lockdowns it feels good to get back in the office.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS
