    David Hogg slams 'fast-track' effort to oust him as DNC vice chair
    Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg on Monday slammed the Credentials Committee's decision to elevate a procedural challenge to his leadership position as the "first steps to remove me from my position," amid an ongoing intraparty dispute."While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote," Hogg said, as he described a country "in crisis" and a Democratic Party "asleep at the wheel.""I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better, not to defend an indefensible status quo that has caused voters in almost every demographic group to move away from us. The DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort," Hogg said after the DNC Credentials Committee voted on Monday to elevate a vote challenging the vice chairs' leadership positions.Kalyn Free, a longtime Democratic Party activist, submitted a complaint following the DNC's Feb. 1 officer elections, in which Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta were elected vice chairs. Free alleged in her complaint that the DNC's tabulation method violated the charter's provision and parliamentary procedure and "discriminated against three women of color candidates."DAVID HOGG FACES CHALLENGE TO DNC ROLE AS PARTY TENSIONS ESCALATE"I am disappointed to learn that before I became Chair, there was a procedural error in the February Vice Chair elections. The Credentials Committee has issued their recommendation, and I trust that the DNC Members will carefully review the Committees resolution and resolve this matter fairly," DNC Chairman Ken Martin said in a statement following the credentials vote.DEMOCRATS' VICE CHAIR GETS ULTIMATUM: STAY NEUTRAL IN PRIMARIES OR STEP DOWN FROM PARTY LEADERSHIPThe Credentials Committee on Monday found the Feb. 1 election violated parliamentary procedure and voted to recommend the DNC conduct a new election for the two vice-chair positions currently held by Kenyatta and Hogg. The full DNC will now have an opportunity to vote, and if approved, will conduct a re-election.One vice-chair position may be filled by a male and one may be a candidate of any gender, according to the DNC. If the DNC goes through with a re-vote, only the candidates who were eligible for the third ballot during the Feb. 1 election will qualify, which includes Kenyatta, Hogg, Free, Jeanna Repass and Shasti Conrad.While Free's complaint was filed before Hogg stirred up DNC division for his brutal plan to primary incumbent Democrats in deep blue districts, the fallout is the latest blow to the young Democratic leader. Hogg pledged to donate $20 million through his political action committee, Leaders We Deserve, to primary challenge some older Democrats in blue districts.Soon after, Martin affirmed that the DNC would stay neutral in intraparty primaries, giving Hogg the ultimatum to either rescind his vice-chair position or forego his political influence via his PAC. Now, Hogg is framing the DNC's vote as an expedited plan to remove him as vice chair.But DNC officials, past and present, said the procedural vote has nothing to do with Hogg personally."This is not about David Hogg, despite what hes saying. It is gender balance.... Its in the rules that the officers need to be balanced between men and women. The full DNC now gets to vote again. If they like what Hogg is doing then thats great, and hell be re-elected. It was disingenuous to not reveal his intentions the first time before they voted. While it has nothing to do with him, its an elected position so now well find out if the party supports it or not, which they very well may," a former DNC official told Fox News Digital.An additional former DNC official added in a statement to Fox News Digital that "either Hogg is wrong and misled members or they think hes doing the right thing. Either way, itll be settled. And he cant complain. A re-vote is not forcing him out, there are other ways to do that if they chose to."Kenyatta, in a series of social media posts, said "any reporter covering this as party retribution against David is full of s---. It is unfortunate as I believe we both won fairly & there is no charge that we acted improperly.""However, any story about this that neatly places this into a narrative about David Hogg is wrong. I worked my a-- off to get this role and have done the job every day since Ive held it. This story is complex, and Im frustrated but its not about @davidhogg111. Even though he clearly wants it to be," Kenyatta said in a jab to his fellow vice chair facing potential re-election.

    Flesh-eating New World Screwworm could pose health risks to cattle, humans
    A threat to American livestock the New World Screwworm (NWS) fly, which has been considered eradicated from the country since 1966 has reemerged as a potential danger following an outbreak in Mexico.The news triggered a shutdown of cattle, horse and bison imports along the southern border, as U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins announced in an X post on Sunday."Due to the threat of New World Screwworm I am announcing the suspension of live cattle, horse, & bison imports through U.S. southern border ports of entry effective immediately," she wrote in the post.DANGEROUS FUNGUS COULD SPREAD TO PARTS OF US, RESEARCHERS CLAIM"The last time this devastating pest invaded America, it took 30 years for our cattle industry to recover. This cannot happen again."The NWS is a fly that is endemic in Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and some South American countries, according to the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).While the flies themselves are found in forests and other wooded areas, they will seek hosts like cattle or horses in pastures and fields, per the above source.A female fly lays eggs in a wound or orifice of a live, warm-blooded animal. The eggs then hatch into larvae (maggots) that burrow into the flesh, causing potentially deadly damage.MEASLES SCARE AT MAJOR AIRPORT: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT POTENTIAL EXPOSUREScrewworms are named for their maggots behavior, as they burrow into the flesh similar to how a screw is driven into wood.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"Maggots cause extensive damage by tearing at the hosts tissue with sharp mouth hooks," according to the APHIS website. This can then enlarge the wound and attract more flies to lay eggs.In rare cases, the larvae can feed on people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states.These infestations can be very painful and can cause serious, potentially fatal damage to their hosts by causing myiasis, a parasitic infection of fly larvae in human tissue.Screwworms are often found in South America and the Caribbean."People who travel to these areas, spend time among livestock animals, sleep outdoors and have an open wound are at greater risk of becoming infested with NWS," says the CDC.People who are immunocompromised, very young or very old, or malnourished are also at a higher risk of infection, the above source stated.Those who have had recent surgery are also at a higher risk, "as the flies will lay eggs on open sores," according to the CDC.If another outbreak were to occur in the U.S., "pets, livestock, wildlife and even humans may suffer and die from screwworm myiasis," the USDA warned.The USDA estimates that livestock producers in the southwestern U.S. lost between $50 million and $100 million annually due to NWS in the 1950s and 1960s until it was successfully eradicated.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Presumably, these higher losses in the Southwest were due to higher livestock populations, larger geographic area and/or greater potential for NWS to overwinter," stated the report.While the USDA eradicated NWS in 1966, there was an outbreak contained within the Florida Keys in 2016. It affected only in the endangered deer population and was eradicated by March 2017, per APHIS.Greg Wehner contributed reporting.

    GOP, Dems to square off over Trump's sweeping tax plan in high-stakes meeting today
    The House committee tasked with writing the U.S. tax code is meeting on Tuesday afternoon to advance one of the most significant portions of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill."A sweeping piece of legislation unveiled by the House Ways & Means Committee on Monday would follow through on Trump's campaign promises to eliminate taxes on tips and overtime pay, as well as permanently extending the president's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), among other provisions.House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said he wants House Republicans to pass their version of Trump's bill by Memorial Day or "shortly thereafter," as he told Fox News Digital in an interview late last month.House and Senate Republicans are working on Trump's agenda via the budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to sideline the minority by lowering the Senate's threshold for passage to a simple majority, provided the legislation at hand deals with spending, taxes or the national debt.ANTI-ABORTION PROVIDER MEASURE IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' COULD SPARK HOUSE GOP REBELLIONWays & Means Committee lawmakers are expected to meet for at least several hours on Tuesday to mark up debate on the bill.It could go even longer, however. A Ways & Means Committee markup meeting in 2021, when Democrats were trying to pass Build Back Better, lasted over 35 hours over four days due to Republicans dragging the process out in opposition to then-President Joe Biden's progressive tax policies.Democrats are expected to put up an aggressive fight on Tuesday as well, having already accused Trump of trying to cut taxes for the wealthy while gutting critical programs for low-income Americans.Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., a member of the committee, posted on X on Monday, "Going over line-by line last minute 389-page amendment to the Republican tax bill in our committee today. They have provisions that touch everyone: the richest people get huge tax cuts, working people lose their healthcare and future generations get the bill because it adds $5 trillion to the national debt!"However, Republicans have insisted their tax bill champions the working and middle classes, pointing to Trump's elimination of tips on tax and overtime pay as evidence points.A portion released by the House Ways & Means Committee over the weekend would increase the current maximum Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $2,500. Trump's TCJA had doubled the maximum from $1,000 to $2,000 in 2017.It would also boost the maximum deduction for qualified business income, a tax provision known as 199A, from 20% to 22%. That would largely affect small business owners whose entities are taxed under individual income tax rates.Trump's promise to eliminate taxes on Social Security for retirees is tackled via giving seniors a higher standard deduction."It puts the interests of low-income, working families ahead of the wealthy by expanding tax relief to those who need it the most including the Presidents priorities of no tax on tips and overtime pay and additional relief for Americas seniors," House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., said in a statement.The legislation also cracks down on big colleges and universities, including Ivy Leagues like Harvard University, which are locked in a battle over free speech with the White House. It is targeting those larger schools with higher excise taxes, which are federal duties paid on net earnings of the schools' investments.That rate is currently 1.4%, but the legislation would bring it to as high as 21% for the largest schools, like Harvard and Yale University.HOUSE REPUBLICANS RELEASE TAX PLAN FOR TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'The nearly 400-page legislation must pass the Ways & Means Committee on Tuesday before being added back to a larger legislative framework, which will include similar bills from 10 other House committees dealing with policies under their jurisdiction.The House Energy & Commerce Committee, for instance, is also meeting on Tuesday afternoon to advance its portion of the bill. The broad-ranging committee has jurisdiction over Medicaid, Medicare, energy production and telecommunications.The House Agriculture Committee, which oversees federal food programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is meeting Tuesday evening to advance its portion.The full House and Senate must pass identical versions of the final bill before it gets to Trump's desk for a signature.Fox News' Tyler Olson contributed to this report.

    'Small nodule' found in Biden's prostate during routine exam, spokesperson says
    A small nodule was found in the prostate of former President Joe Biden during a recent physical exam, according to media reports.The discovery "necessitated further evaluation," the Associated Press reported Tuesday, citing a spokesperson.A spokesperson for Biden did not immediately respond Tuesday to multiple requests for comment from Fox News Digital.During his presidency, Biden had a "cancerous" skin lesion removed from his chest, according to the White House.BIDEN AIDES ALLEGEDLY FRETTED THEN-PRESIDENT WOULD NEED WHEELCHAIR IF RE-ELECTED, NEW BOOK REVEALSFormer White House physician Kevin O'Connor said in February 2023 that skin tissue was removed during a health assessment Biden received and was sent for a biopsy, which revealed it was cancerous.JOE AND JILL BIDEN FIRE BACK ON THE VIEW AGAINST ACCUSATIONS OF HEALTH COVER-UP, CALL STORIES WRONG"As expected, the biopsy confirmed that the small lesion was basal cell carcinoma. All cancerous tissue was successfully removed. The area around the biopsy site was treated presumptively with electrodessication and curettage at the time of biopsy. No further treatment is required," Biden's doctor wrote in a memo."The site of the biopsy has healed nicely and the President will continue dermatologic surveillance as part of his ongoing comprehensive healthcare," O'Connor also wrote.Fox News Digitals Adam Sabes and Brandon Gillespie contributed to this report.
