    Fetterman dismisses questions as another top staffer reportedly jumps ship
    Another member of Sen. John Fettermans staff is reportedly leaving his office, and the maverick lawmaker doesnt want to talk about it.Fettermans office has been plagued by a string of departures since he came to Washington in 2023, and his alleged erratic behavior, concerns over his health and decision to skip certain votes have led to a wave of scrutiny in recent weeks.FETTERMAN DEFIES PUNITIVE PUNISHMENT FOR BREAKING WITH DEMOCRATIC PARTY DURING BIPARTISAN DISCUSSIONAnd now, Fetterman, D-Pa., is set to lose another top staffer. Axios first reported that Krysta Sinclair Juris, who has been the lawmakers chief of staff since April 2024, is set to leave his office. Fox News Digital reached out to Juris and Fettermans office for comment.When pressed about the situation in his office, Fetterman didnt want to talk about it."Well, have you, have you spoken to the significant number of my colleagues that have much higher staff turnover?" Fetterman asked Fox News Digital.FETTERMAN ADDRESSES CALLS TO STEP ASIDE, SAYING RECENT ALLEGATIONS ARE NOT ACCURATEHe doubled down when asked again if Axios reporting was accurate."I think you should talk to my colleagues that have much higher turnover," he said after ducking into an elevator.Politico later reported that Cabelle St. John would take over the chief of staff position.SCHUMER, DEMOCRATS PLOT COORDINATED RESISTANCE TO TRUMP'S ONE UGLY BILLThe latest departure is not the first instance where staffers have left this year. Two aides left last month after a bombshell report from New York Magazine detailed rising concerns among his staff about his health.And in February, his deputy chief of staff and communications director hit the exits, too.Fetterman has been no stranger to controversy since winning his seat two years ago and has made a name for himself by often bucking his partys marching orders and siding with Senate Republicans on thorny policy issues.For example, Fetterman has often broken with Democrats on Israel and immigration, saying his party has lost the argument on both issues.The lawmaker acknowledged his unique brand of bipartisanship during a forum alongside fellow Pennsylvania Sen. David McCormick, a Republican, moderated by Fox News Shannon Bream on Monday. "That's part of the bipartisanship where, you know, it's getting more and more kind of, punitive to just agree with some of these things in the middle of the party right now," he said.

    Vance compares Harvard to North Korea as he takes aim at schools ideological diversity
    Vice President JD Vance accused Harvard University of having a lack of "ideological diversity," comparing the academic institution to North Korea amid the Trump administrations continuing battle against the school.Vance said Tuesday that he estimated, without evidence, that "probably" 95% of Harvards faculty voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, and said that universities have become these "almost quasi-theocratic, or quasi-totalitarian societies.""Right. Very brilliant. Kamala Harris, of course," Vance said at the American Compass anniversary gala in Washington. "But if you ask yourself a foreign election, a foreign country's election, you say 80% of the people voted for one candidate, you would say, 'Oh, that's kind of weird, right? That's like, not a super healthy democracy.' If you said, 'Oh, 95% of people voted for one party's candidate,' you would say, 'That's North Korea, right That is impossible in a true place of free exchange for that to happen.'"Harvard did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.TRUMP ADMIN ASKING FEDERAL AGENCIES TO CANCEL REMAINING HARVARD CONTRACTSThe Trump administration has been at odds with Harvard as its pushed for the academic institution to install changes to its governance and admissions process in response to incidents of bias on campus targeting Jewish students since October 2023.But Harvard University President Alan M. Garber said in April that the Trump administration included additional requests for reform that go beyond addressing antisemitism on campus, and the institution would not comply because the demands were unconstitutional.WHITE HOUSE SLAMS IVY LEAGUE INSTITUTIONS FOR EGREGIOUS ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR' AMID TRUMP FEUD WITH HARVARDSpecifically, Garber said the new requests "direct governmental regulation of the intellectual conditions at Harvard," including auditing viewpoints of students, faculty and staff members on campus, and eliminating all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, offices and initiatives at Harvard."It makes clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner," Garber wrote in an April letter. "We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement."Since then, the Trump administration has warned it will pull all federal funding from the school, amounting to a total of $100 million in contracts. That's on top of the $3.2 billion in grants and contracts the administration has previously frozen.TRUMP ADMIN SLASHES OVER $2.2B IN FUNDING TO HARVARD AFTER SCHOOL DEFIES DEMANDS

    Iran's Khamenei rejects US zero uranium enrichment demand as '100% against' its interests
    Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah AliKhameneion Wednesday came out swinging at the U.S. most recent proposal, which apparently included a call for zero uranium enrichment, to which the Iranian leader said was "100 %" against Tehrans interests.The issue of whether the U.S. would push a complete ban on uranium enrichment a process that is needed to produce nuclear energy as well a warhead came into question this week after reporting suggested a U.S. proposal submitted to Iran through Omani mediators on Saturday allowed for "low levels" of enrichment.President Donald Trump appeared to refute this in a social media post this week, and on Wednesday, Khamanei, who did not comment directly on the specifics of the proposal, said that "In the current nuclear talks that are being mediated by Oman, the U.S.s proposal is 100% against the spirit of We can."TRUMP REAFFIRMS HARD-LINE ON IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL: 'WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM'"What the U.S. is demanding is that you should have no nuclear industry at all and be dependent on them," he added.Included in the proposal was apparently a call for a regional coalition for enrichment that could provide Iran with the uranium it needs for civilian projects, like energy.Iranian authorities said this week that this idea was not a new concept, and while Tehran is not opposed to being part of such a coalition, it would not serve as an adequate substitute even though Iran relies on nuclear energy for less than 1% of its energy consumption.Khamanei did not say that Iran was unwilling to continue negotiating with the U.S., though Tehran has repeatedly insisted that a zero-enrichment policy is a non-starter."A nuclear industry without enrichment capabilities is useless, because we would then be dependent on others to obtain fuel for our power plants," he said.WHITE HOUSE URGES IRAN TO ACCEPT NUCLEAR DEAL AS IAEA REPORTS URANIUM ENRICHMENT SPIKEThe Iranian leader said on Wednesday that Irans nuclear development has become a source of national pride and claimed, "The number of countries in the world that have achieved a complete nuclear fuel cycle is perhaps fewer than the number of fingers on a persons two hands."We're capable of producing nuclear fuel starting from the mine and all the way to the power plant," he added.Iran has also repeatedly claimed it does not intend to develop a nuclear weapon, though its near-weapons-grade enrichment levels and missile program have suggested otherwise and prompted immense concern among international security officials, including the U.N.s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.Khamaneis comments regarding Irans possession of a nuclear weapon were among the most fervent he has issued and again called into question Tehrans claims that it is not looking to make itself the 10th nuclear nation."You Americans possess atomic bombs and have the massive destruction of the world at your disposal," he said in a series of posts on X. "What business is it of yours whether the Iranian nation should or shouldnt have uranium enrichment or whether it should or shouldnt have a nuclear industry?"Why are you interfering and trying to say whether Iran should have uranium enrichment or not? Thats none of your business," Khamanei said.

    Federal judge delivers one-two punch to Trump in Abrego Garcia case
    A federal judge granted a request Wednesday from more than a dozen major news outlets and publishers to unseal certain records in the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Salvadorian migrant and alleged MS-13 member who was deported from Maryland to El Salvador in March in what administration officials have acknowledged was an administrative error.Separately on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis granted a request from Abrego Garcia's legal team to file a motion for sanctions against the Trump administration. That filing is due June 11, she said in an order.The one-two punch from Xinis could give plaintiffs new ammo to pursue more formal punishments against the Trump administration if officials are found to have been acting in bad faith or knowingly defying court orders.It will also give new access to media outlets covering the case. Xinis agreed to grant in part a request from a group of 14 major media outlets and publishers including Fox News, NBC News, CBS News, New York Times, the Washington Post and NPR who filed a motion to unseal records in the Abrego Garcia case, citing concerns over the lack of public access, as well as over government efforts, or lack thereof, to facilitate his return to the U.S.JUDGE PRESSES TRUMP DOJ ON ABREGO GARCIA DEPORTATION; ANSWERS LEAVE COURTROOM IN STUNNED SILENCEIn her order, Xinis agreed with the contention of the news outlets referred to jointly as the "Press Movants" that the public "enjoys a presumptive right to access court records, overcome only when outweighed by competing interests."As such, Xinis ordered the Trump administration to unseal a handful of documents that have so far been filed under seal, as part of a protracted legal battle over the status of Abrego Garcia.Xinis also ordered them to unseal a transcript from an April 30 hearing in his case."The right to public access of court records remains critical to promoting trustworthiness of the judicial process, to curb judicial abuses, and to provide the public with a more complete understanding of the judicial system, including a better perception of fairness," she said Wednesday.The order comes amid a months-long court fight over the status of Abrego Garcia, who remains in El Salvador.Xinis in April ordered the Trump administration to comply with an expedited discovery schedule to determine whether they were complying with the directive to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S., which was upheld by the Supreme Court earlier this year.Since then, she has struggled to ascertain the status of Abrego Garcia, or efforts made to return him to the U.S.TRUMP'S REMARKS COULD COME BACK TO BITE HIM IN ABREGO GARCIA DEPORTATION BATTLETrump officials, for their part, have repeatedly alleged that Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, though any formal ties remain unproven.Lawyers for the government and Abrego Garcia's attorneys have sparred with Xinis in court over what exactly it means to "facilitate" his return a months-long fight that Xinis most recently described as beating a "frustrated and dead horse."Xinis previously took aim at what she deemed to be the lack of information submitted to the court as part of an expedited discovery process she ordered last month, describing thegovernment submissions as "vague, evasive and incomplete" responses, and which she said demonstrated "willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations."The order is the latest development in the ongoing feud between Trump officials and the courts over the use of the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime immigration law used earlier this year to quickly deport migrants from the U.S.To date, the Trump administration has not knowingly complied with any court orders to return migrants who were removed and sent to El Salvador in the early wave of deportation flights, despite earlier court orders from Xinis, Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and others.It is unclear whether Xinis plans to begin contempt proceedings against the administration, though the federal judge in D.C. said earlier this year that he had found probable cause to do so.

    Top Dems claim 51K people will die annually from the 'big beautiful bill' and its Obamacare freeze
    Two top Democrats claimed the Republicans budget reconciliation bill and its proposal to let enhanced Obamacare credits expire will cause the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., announced findings that an estimated 51,000 Americans could die each year due to Republican-led changes to the federal healthcare system and the broader reconciliation bill.The national debt which measures what the U.S. owes its creditors fell to $36,214,400,664,854.53 as of June 3rd, according to the latest numbers published by the Treasury Department. That is down about $1.4 billion from the figure reported the previous day.Wyden called the "stakes" of the big, beautiful bill debate "truly life and death," as a statement from his office read that "a new analysis estimates that more than 51,000 people will die per year as a direct result of the Republican reconciliation bill, and their refusal to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.""Taking away health insurance and benefits like home care and mental healthcare from seniors, people with disabilities, kids, and working families will be deadly," Wyden said."This analysis shows the dire consequences of moving ahead with this morally bankrupt effort," he said, referring to a study he and Sanders asked the University of Pennsylvania and Yale to conduct.LIBERALS BLAME BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL'S LOSS ON DYING DEMSThe Democrats employed the Philadelphia colleges Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, as well as the Yale School of Public Healths Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analysis."Lets be clear," Sanders said in a statement, "The Republican reconciliation bill which makes massive cuts to Medicaid in order to pay for huge tax breaks for billionaires is not just bad public policy.""It is not just immoral. It is a death sentence for struggling Americans.""[N]ot only will some of the most vulnerable people throughout our country suffer, but tens of thousands will die. We cannot allow that to happen," Sanders added.WINNERS, LOSERS AND GRAB-BAGS FROM HOUSE GOPS NARROW PASSAGE OF BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILLIn a copy of the study posted on UPenns website, economics and health-centric academics found 7.7 million people would be estimated to lose Medicaid or Obamacare coverage by 2034, and 1.38 million "dual-eligible beneficiaries" would find themselves "disenroll[ed]."In a statement, Wyden cited figures of 11,300 deaths from the loss of Medicaid or Obamacare coverage, 18,200 deaths from the loss of Medicaid coverage among low-income beneficiaries and 13,000 deaths of Medicaid enrollees in nursing homes due to the rollback of a "nursing home minimum staffing rule" from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.Wyden attributed an additional projected 8,811 deaths per year to the "failure to extend the enhanced [Obamacare] premium tax credits," citing the academics analysis.Fox News Digital reached out to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., -- who spearheaded the "big, beautiful bill" in the House -- for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPA representative for UPenn told Fox News Digital the university sent the results of their analysis to Wyden and Sanders in response to a request on the matter."The estimates of mortality that are contained in the letter were based on peer-review research that was done independently and well before their request," the UPenn representative said."The senators request was to take the research results and translate into the estimated number of deaths."

    There's a way to aid Gaza. I know, my foundation just helped deliver 7 million meals... without incident
    Its time to be honest about humanitarian assistance in Gaza. The incumbent system is morally bankrupt. Grift is not a bugit is a feature. The decades-long cycle of empty statements, inflated budgets, and institutionalized failure has created a self-sustaining machine that feeds off misery, undermines peace, and instinctively demonizes America and Israel.The current system fuels fate.Heres an example. Just days ago, the world should have celebrated the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's week of success. Over 7 million meals were delivered free to Gazans -- no trucks seized, no aid diverted, no violence at distribution sites. The system worked despite Gaza's volatility. Gazans spontaneously thanked America and President Donald Trump.Instead of celebrating GHF, the international press swallowed a Hamas disinformation campaign wholesale. Hamas falsely claimed 31 Gazans died at our distribution site. Global media printed headlines treating Hamas' claims as fact. When GHF's denials were questioned but Hamas' statements were believed, GHF released CCTV proving the truth.Yet fabricated headlines still deceive online, even fooling U.N. Secretary General Guterres, who spread them the next morning (and has yet to correct his mistake). Guterres statement came just hours after someone incited by this fake news set Jewish Americans on fire at a Colorado hostage vigil.US-BACKED GAZA AID GROUP PAUSES FOOD DISTRIBUTION AFTER DAYS OF VIOLENCEWhat the media should be doing is joining us in telling the truth about the systemic failure for years in Gaza and the United Nations should be working with us to fix the system.The current systems, built to serve the Palestinian people, have not just been ineffectivethey have been actively complicit in perpetuating suffering. These organizations speak of "human rights," yet remain silent when terrorists steal international aid, embed rockets in schools, and use hospitals as human shields.From UNRWA to the Human Rights Council, bigotry has been wrapped in bureaucracy, funded by American and European tax dollars, and aimed squarely at helping terrorists wage a never-ending war with Israel.Activists disguised as humanitarians clutch their pearls and rush out press releases in support of these failed systems, exactly as terrorists hijack aid trucks or beat dissenting Palestinians in the street trying to get to humanitarian aid. The silence is deafening, but actually, its worse. They keep spreading with no scrutiny the profane lies of Hamas.ISRAELI AMBASSADOR SLAMS UN'S 'MAFIA-LIKE' TACTICS AGAINST US-BACKED GAZA FOUNDATIONThe fact is that there were Palestinians harmed last week, but not by GHF. They were harmed by Hamas when they tried to break into warehouses where Hamas had been hoarding piles and piles of humanitarian aid meant for Gazans. Were told by beneficiaries that Hamas was selling aid or using it for coercive purposes. One beneficiary asked our aid workers five times if our aid was truly free, and we observed the decline in the price of sugar in the rudimentary markets of Gaza.Yet, this behavior is excused, explained away, or flat-out ignored while organizations like the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are attacked constantly for trying to feed Gazans with no strings attached. What GHF is guilty of is exposing the whole charade for what it is. Unfortunately, instead of just focusing on feeding Gazans, GHF humanitarians must fight a profane information war naively parroted by those who should know better.We will press on.NEW US-BACKED AID GROUP BEGINS DISTRIBUTING FOOD IN WAR-TORN GAZAOur vision is that failure will no longer be rewarded. Instead, we demand results with Silicon Valley precision. The good-hearted taxpayers of rich countries should no longer be content to line the pockets of institutional elites with cushy jobs propping up failing systems.Its time to do it differently. We understand this is a threat to the system. Because if even a sliver of hope is delivered through a model based on transparency, accountability, and realism, the entire cottage industry of perpetual process collapses. The lavish conferences, the donor summits, the panel discussions where nothing gets donegone.But, no longer can we let the weaponization of humanitarian aid, or its mismanagement, prolong this and other conflicts. There can be no peace process without peace, and there is no humanitarian aid without human dignity.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONTheres also no time for nostalgia over broken systems.It is time to stop rewarding failure and start building the future. Not in Geneva or New York, but in Ashkelon, Khan Younis, and Ramallahwhere outcomes matter more than press releases.The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation isnt perfect. But it is honest. And for those who have grown rich, powerful, and respected by keeping Palestinians poor, hopeless, and angrythats the real threat. We say: good. Let them be afraid.To those in the humanitarian community who truly care and have witnessed press and U.N. attacks on our relief efforts: we choose the high road. You're good people who, like Gazans, recognize authentic work.It's time to deliver foodnot for politics, not for process, but for people. Join us or get out of our way. But, for Gods sake, tell the truth.

    Condoleezza Rice reveals concerning shift in Putin's behavior, calls him 'desperate' as Ukraine strikes back
    Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin has grown "more out of control," arguing he is "desperate" to eradicate Ukraine.Rice was asked about reports of Ukraine striking a bridge linking Crimea and Russia in a series of underwater explosions.Rice called the attack "extraordinary" during "Fox & Friends," saying it shows Ukraine can hold Putin accountable for his "aggression.""It shows a couple of things," she told Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday. "First, the changing nature of warfare, that you can do this with relatively cheap drones... against the Russian strategic air fleet, which has cost billions and billions of dollars. Secondly, it shows that the Ukrainians are very advanced in what they are doing in their defense industry with the building of these drones and an employment strategy for them."UKRAINES SURPRISE ATTACK SHOWS IT MAY TAKE A MAJOR DRONE STRIKE TO CHANGE US DEFENSE POLICY, EXPERTS SAY"And third, it is an incredible intelligence coup," she added. "Vladimir Putin is undoubtedly now wondering whether there was an inside job. You're probably going to see a witch hunt in Russia as he tries to figure out who did this inside. So it just shows that just with a little bit of help, Ukrainians can make Vladimir Putin pay for his aggression."A massive underwater blast targeting a bridge linking Russia to Crimea left it in a "state of emergency" Tuesday, according to the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). The SBU said it detonated around 2,500 pounds of underwater explosives along the Kerch Bridge.Footage showed a blast centered around one of the bridge pillars, followed by people surveying damage on top of the bridge.The surprise detonation comes just days after Ukraine carried out "Operation Spider's Web," a series of coordinated drone strikes penetrating deep into Russian territory that is believed to have taken out dozens of Russia's most powerful bomber jets and surveillance planes as they sat idle on five military airfields.Rice noted Putin's behavior has become more unstable since she served under former President George W. Bush, pointing to his unwavering determination in trying to "extinguish" Ukraine."He seems to be more out of control than he used to be," Rice said. "He was always a very controlled figure. Don't get me wrong, he was never a Jeffersonian Democrat. He was always an autocrat. He was always an imperialist, but there is something about him now that seems almost more desperate in wanting to extinguish Ukraine."Rice argued it is imperative for President Donald Trump to make it clear that Russia will not win in its effort to take over the country after peace talks failed to yield a major breakthrough in Istanbul on Monday."I do think there's a little part of Vladimir Putin that recognizes, particularly, that the energy infrastructure in Russia is degrading, and that he would be better off to stop this war," she said."But it's being overcome by that other Putin who still thinks he can extinguish Ukraine. And, you know, he needs the president more than the president needs him. And so, making very clear to him that he's not going to get his maximalist claims is extremely important at this point."Fox News Greg Norman and Jasmine Baehr contributed to this report.

    Former MLB star calls out AOC's 'virtue signaling' after antisemitic attack in Colorado
    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is striking out with a Jewish former Major League Baseball player over her response to a recent antisemitic attack in Colorado."Were just at a point now where the Jewish people are just tired. Were tired of having to deal with so much hatred," said Kevin Youkilis, a World Series champion with the Boston Red Sox, during an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Wednesday.His comments come after Ocasio-Cortez posted on social media about the attack, which targeted a pro-Israel group gathered to call for the return of Israeli hostages held in captivity by Hamas.Multiple people were injured when the suspect allegedly used homemade incendiary devices to attack attendees. Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman is now facing hate crime, attempted murder, assault and other charges.WORLD SERIES CHAMP CALLS OUT AOC OVER RESPONSE TO BOULDER ATTACKIn her post on X, formerly Twitter, Ocasio-Cortez condemned the violence in Colorado and warned that antisemitism is "on the rise." She called on the public to confront hate "everywhere it exists."But Youkilis said her words rang hollow.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROMISES JUSTICE FOR SLAIN ISRAELI COUPLE IN DC SHOOTINGResponding on X, he wrote: "Jews are targeted with violence and its the same virtue signal post time and time again. What have you done to confront those calling for intifadas in NYC? Until you create a plan of action, your repeated virtue signaling after the violence occurs holds no weight."Youkilis pointed to growing antisemitic rhetoric on college campuses and at protests in New York, some of which have included calls for the dismantling of the Jewish state. He argued that condemning violence after attacks happen isnt enough from lawmakers."When we hear this rhetoric, and its pushed out in our universities and on the streets, it just has to stop. It brings a lot of fear. It stokes the violence," he said, referencing protests in the United States that intensified following the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel.'SQUAD' MEMBERS CONDEMN ANTISEMITIC ATTACK IN BOULDER AFTER YEARS OF CONTROVERSYWhile he agreed with Ocasio-Cortez that antisemitism is a "moral issue," Youkilis said her actions dont reflect a serious commitment to combating it.HYSTERICAL TOWN HALL ATTENDEE INTERRUPTS AOC, YELLS ABOUT 'GENOCIDE' IN GAZA: 'YOU'RE A LIAR!'The attack in Colorado follows another incident last month in Washington, D.C., where two Israeli diplomats, set to be engaged, were gunned down in an apparent hate crime. The suspect was arrested at the Capital Jewish Museum, and reportedly shouted, "Free, free Palestine."Youkilis said hes seen a noticeable shift in the safety of Jews in America, noting increased security at Jewish community centers, schools, and synagogues. He praised lawmakers, like Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., for speaking out repeatedly against antisemitism.EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: AOC REFUSES TO SAY WHETHER DEMOCRATS' RHETORIC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TESLA ATTACKS"Ritchie Torres has been fabulous in the way he has spoken out," Youkilis said, urging other lawmakers to follow his example.While Youkilis emphasized his strong belief in the rights of Americans to voice their opinions, he called on public officials to better distinguish between free speech and hate speech."First Amendment rights are First Amendment rights, and I'm a firm believer in that as an American, and a proud American," said the former first baseman, who served as the Israeli team's hitting coach at the World Baseball Classic in 2023."But we also have to have our leadership that can decipher between what is hate and how people are [going to] build upon it."
