President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the U.S. will soon begin construction of a "Golden Dome" missile defense system they say will be a next-generation "game changer" protecting the American homeland from outside adversaries.A similar system, the Iron Dome, has already been developed in Israel with U.S. assistance and has proven effective in repelling missile attacks. Now. Trump says a bigger, more technologically advanced, multi-layered dome system will soon be installed in America.The president announced the "one big beautiful" budget bill being discussed in Congress will include $25 billion in initial funding for the project, which he expects will cost $175 billion overall. He said he expects a major phase of the dome will be complete in under three years and that it will be "fully operational before the end of my term."He noted there is significant support for the project in Congress, quipping, "It's amazing how easy this one is to fund."HEGSETH REVEALS PLANS TO COUNTER CHINA, STAY AHEAD IN ARMS RACE AS PENTAGON PIVOTS TO INDO-PACIFIC"In the campaign, I promised the American people that I would build a cutting-edge missile defense shield to protect our homeland from the threat of foreign missile attack. And that's what we're doing today," he said, adding that the Golden Dome "will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from the other side of the world and even if they are launched from space."Trump also announced he is placing Space Force Gen. Michael Guetlein in charge of the project, saying, "Noone is more qualified for this job."Hegseth called the Golden Dome a "bold initiative" and another addition to Trumps "long and growing list of promises made and promises kept."He said investing in the new system is essential to respond to growing threats from countries like Russia and China."Ultimately, this right here, the Golden Dome for America, is a game changer," said Hegseth. "It's a generational investment in the security of America and Americans."TRUMP'S TOUGH POLICIES PUSH UK, EU TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND TRADE AND DEFENSEAddressing Trump, Hegseth said, "Mr. President, you said were going to secure our southern border and get 100% operational control after the previous administration allowed an invasion of people into our country. President Reagan 40 years ago cast the vision for it. The technology wasn't there. Now it is, and you're following through to say we will protect the homeland from cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, whether they're conventional or nuclear."Guetlein indicated the Golden Dome is necessary to preserve the safety, security and the quality of life Americans are used to."We owe it to our children and our children's children to protect them and afford them a quality of life that we have all grown up enjoying. Golden dome will afford that," said Guetlein.MARCO RUBIO: WE SHOULD BE HAPPY WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO SEEKS PEACEThe general said "our adversaries have become very capable and very intent on holding the homeland at risk.""While we have been focused on keeping the peace overseas, our adversaries have been quickly modernizing their nuclear forces, building up ballistic missiles capable of hosting multiple warheads, building out hypersonic missiles capable of attacking the United States within an hour and traveling at 6,000 miles an hour, building cruise missiles that can navigate around our radar and our defenses, building submarines that can sneak up on our shores and, worse yet, building space weapons," Guetlein said."It is time that we change that equation and start doubling down on the protection of the homeland."

Sarah Silverman revealed a shocking family secret that her late father, Donald Silverman, once shared with her about her baby brother Jeffrey's tragic death.In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the 54-year-old comedian recalled the moment that Donald told her about how he believed Jeffrey, who passed away at three-months-old, really died."Im going to tell you a big bomb," Silverman said.Silverman recalled that for most of her life, she was always told one version of the circumstances behind Jeffrey's death. The "Saturday Night Live" alum explained that at the time of Jeffrey's death, her paternal grandparents, Max and Rose, were caring for the infant while Donald and her late mother Beth Ann O'Hara were on vacation."The story was that something happened with the crib, and Jeffreys little body slid and he got suffocated," Silverman said. "But if you look back, there was never a lawsuit with the crib company or anything."However, Silverman told the outlet that Donald shared a very different story in 2022 when he attended a production of her musical "The Bedwetter" at the Atlantic Theatre Company's Linda Gross Theatre in New York City. "The Bedwetter" is an adaptation of Silverman's 2010 memoir of the same name.The show included a scene in which a younger version of Silverman made a joke about Jeffrey's death. Silverman recalled that Donald visited her afterward and made a shocking revelation about how he believed his allegedly "violent" late father Max was involved in Jeffrey's passing.SARAH SILVERMAN SLAMS JOY REID AS MEDIA PANICS ABOUT DESANTIS' PROPOSED CIVILIAN MILITARY FORCE IN FLORIDA"My dad says, I always felt that he was crying or something, and my dad shook him," Silverman told Rolling Stone. "He shook him in a rage and killed him."Silverman said that Donald's story immediately made sense to her because her father had endured a "heartbreaking childhood," during which "his dad beat the s--- out of him every day, just mercilessly."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"As soon as he said it, it was like, Of course, thats what happened," Silverman said. "His mother always stood by her husband. She watched him beat the s--- out of her son. I couldnt ask my mom, because she was dead.""That was my dad," Silverman said. "We were playing poker once, and he just dropped in that one of the priests at his school fondled him. I was like, Dad!"CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"He was always dropping bombs," she added.A representative for Silverman did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Silverman's parents divorced when the comedian was six, and they both later remarried. Beth died of pancreatic cancer in August 2015 at the age of 73. Donald passed away in May 2023, shortly after the death of his longtime wife Janice.After Donald's death, Silverman shared a tribute to her late father on Instagram."My best pal, Schleppy my dad, died last night," she wrote in the caption of the post, which featured photos of herself with Donald. "All the sisters, and grandkids surrounded him with love and singing and very dark fked up jokes this final week."She continued, "But ultimately, he wanted to be with his love, Janice, who we lost last Monday. No shiva- of [sic] you wanna do something please donate to@2ndnurture.""He always said he was the richest man in the world because of his family, and he was," Silverman added.

Saturday afternoon's matchup between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky was the most-watched WNBA game ever on ESPN, and it lived up to expectations.It was the season opener for both squads, and it was the first battle between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese since last year.And while both players have said publicly there is no rivalry or animosity between them, there were fireworks when Clark committed a flagrant foul on Reese, and Reese had to be held back.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFollowing the game, the WNBA launched an investigation into alleged hateful comments against Reese. She claimed last year that Clark, Indiana, and University of Iowa fans, had been racist toward her throughout the season.Amid the investigation, a TikTok user posted a video that said that saying there is a "rivalry" between the two teams, and players, would be "innappropriatein relation to the severity at hand.""The situation at hand is that when Angel Reese walks into the Indiana Fever arena, she is no longer safe. She is not safe, because there are some Indiana Fever fans who are racist, who will treat her like she is not a human being, who will hurl slurs and threats her way, and that is not OK. That's not a thing that happens in sports - it is not OK," the user said.ESPN STAR SUGGESTS CAITLIN CLARK-ANGEL REESE INCIDENT BECAME TALKING POINT FOR MORE THAN RACIAL REASONS"You all knew that was going to happen. You all knew that environment is unsafe for Angel."Reese reposted the video onto her own account.Clark spoke about the probe into the alleged comments, saying there is "no place" for such speech."There's no place for that in our game," Clark told reporters, via the Indy Star. "There's no place for that in society. Certainly we want every person that comes into our arena, whether player, whether fan, to have a great experience."I appreciate the league doing that. The Fever organization has been at the forefront of that since, really, day one, what they're doing. Hopefully the investigation we'll leave that up to them to find anything and take the proper action if so."The Fever routed the Sky, 93-58, improving to 4-1 against Chicago since Clark and Reese joined the WNBA. The two teams will play each other three more times this year, with each of the next two taking place in Chicago at the United Center.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Democratic lawmaker, Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey, called the federal assault charges against her "absurd" during a CNN interview on Tuesday.The Department of Justice accused McIver of assaulting two federal agents and interfering with law enforcement during a confrontation at an ICE detention facility in New Jersey earlier this month.McIver dismissed the charges as "absurd" and "political" while on CNN."I think the charges are absurd. It's ridiculous. I was there to do my job, along with my other colleagues," she told CNN host Kate Bolduan. "The entire situation was escalated by ICE."DEM LAWMAKERS DEFEND STORMING OF ICE FACILITY, SAY TRUMP ADMIN IS LYING AT ALL LEVELS"It was very unnecessary," she continued. "If I'm going to be charged with a crime for doing my job, it really speaks to where we're headed in this country."CNN asked McIver about reports that she declined to negotiate a deal with Alina Habba, Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, over the incident.McIver said she rejected this offer because the Justice Department and Habba wanted her to admit to something she said she "did not do."DOJ CITES BODYCAM FOOTAGE IN CHARGING DOCUMENT FOR HOUSE DEM MCIVERMcIver, who sits on the Homeland & Security Committee, said she would not have done anything differently if given the choice, and that it was her "obligation" to oversee the ICE facility and see if those detained there were given "due process."She called the charges against her "political intimidation" in a "very unfortunate" situation.Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and three New Jersey lawmakers, including McIver, were outside the ICE facility earlier this month with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow an ICE bus in.

Parents love capturing their kids big moments, from first steps to birthday candles.But a new study out of the U.K. shows many of those treasured images may be scanned, analyzed and turned into data by cloud storage services, and nearly half of parents dont even realize it.A survey of 2,019 U.K. parents, conducted by Perspectus Global and commissioned by Swiss privacy tech company Proton, found that 48% of parents were unaware providers like Google Photos, Apple iCloud, Amazon Photos and Dropbox can access and analyze the photos they upload.TEENS ARE NOW USING AI CHATBOTS TO CREATE AND SPREAD NUDE IMAGES OF CLASSMATES, ALARMING EDUCATION EXPERTSThese companies use artificial intelligence to sort images into albums, recognize faces and locations and suggest memories. While convenient, the same technology can also have more dangerous uses, like deepfake videos.Professor Carsten Maple, a cybersecurity expert at the University of Warwick, warns that, with as few as 20 photos, AI tools can create a convincing digital clone of a person, including deepfake videos. These tools dont need a high-resolution scan or video footage, just a handful of everyday pictures in the cloud."Parents are unwittingly opening their children up to possible exploitation by criminals who want to use their data for their own purposes," Maple told the Edinburgh Evening News.He added that even mundane photos, like a child at school or in the backyard, can reveal names and locations. Fifty-three percent of parents surveyed had no idea this was possible.PROTECTING YOUR DAUGHTER FROM DEEPFAKES AND ONLINE ABUSEOver half of parents, 56%, have automatic photo uploads enabled, meaning their phones constantly send new images to the cloud without ever having to tap "upload."WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Even without deepfakes, data collection is extensive. Only 43% of parents knew cloud services collect metadata like time, date and location, and just 36% surveyed were aware that these companies analyze the contents of photos too.Concern is catching up to convenience. Nearly three in four parents (72%) surveyed said photo privacy is important, and 69% acknowledged the risks of digital footprints left by storing family photos online.Though the study was conducted in the U.K., its findings apply globally. American families use the same technology platforms and face the same questions: Where are kids photos going? Who is looking at them? And what could they be turned into?In the age of AI, a family photo isnt just a memory, its also data which can be scanned, stored, sold and, increasingly, manipulated into deepfakes.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPPerspectus Global did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
