WWW.FOXNEWS.COMPrince Harry and Meghan Markle mocked with savage joke on 'Saturday Night Live'Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially become a punch line.During the "Weekend Update" portion of the most recent episode of "Saturday Night Live," cast member Colin Jost poked fun at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."President [Donald] Trump also announced a new trade deal with the U.K. that will reopen British markets for American companies," he began. "All that Britain demands in return is that we keep these two," he said as a photo of Harry and Meghan flashed on the screen.The estranged royals made their official move to Montecito, Calif., in March 2020 after deciding to take a step back from their roles, citing the intrusive British media and what they said was a lack of support from the palace.PRINCE WILLIAMS PUBLIC DIG AT MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY SHOWS HE DOESNT CARE WHAT THEY THINK: EXPERTSSince stepping away from their roles as working royals, the couple have made comments about their experience within the royal family, most notably during an in-depth interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, during their Netflix documentary series, "Harry & Meghan," and in Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare."The "Saturday Night Live" episode comes a short time after Prince Harry told the BBC he would like to reconcile with his family."Theres no point in continuing to fight anymore," he said, adding that he doesn't "know how much longer my father has.""There have been so many disagreements," said Harry. "Differences between me and some of my family. Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things. But I would love a reconciliation with my family. It would be nice to reconcile."Harry said it is "entirely up to" his family whether they want to reconnect or not.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSDespite Harry's willingness to reconcile, royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that his elder brother, Prince William, Prince of Wales, remains singularly focused on "protecting the monarchy" and is not keen on reconciling."Over the years, the gulf has widened between Prince William and Harry, all due to Harrys ever-public denigration of the royal family, not the least of which has been this most recent BBC interview. Prince William is more resolved than ever to take action once he becomes king. His overriding concern is protecting the monarchy, which he sees as denigrated by commercial endeavors," she said.Meanwhile, Harry and Markle recently attended a Beyonc concert in Los Angeles as part of her "Cowboy Carter" tour.Markle posted photos from their night out, including several photos of the couple dancing, cuddling and kissing. One of the photos showed the special words embroidered onto Prince Harry's hat, which included "Archie," "Lili" and "My Love."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"About last night.

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMLyle Menendez wishes 'peace' to anyone 'in pain' on Mother's DayDays before the resentencing hearing for Lyle and Erik Menendez was set to begin, Lyle took to social media to share a cryptic Mother's Day message, decades after helping his brother murder their parents."To all those who are in pain today for whatever reason.Your mother passed away; You never knew your mom; Your mother was abusive and you struggle with celebrating her; You are estranged from your mother; You wanted to be a mom but arent; Your child passed away; You are estranged from your child or any other reason related to this day, we see you," Lyle wrote in a post on his personal Facebook page.Menendez, 57, and brother Erik Menendez, 54, have been in California prisons since 1996, serving sentences of life without the possibility of parole for their parents' 1989 slayings.The brothers claim they shot their father, former RCA Records executive Jose Menendez, in self-defense, arguing they thought he was going to kill them after they warned him they planned to expose him as a child sex abuser. They also killed their mother, Mary "Kitty" Menendez, who was sitting next to Jose eating ice cream in their Beverly Hills living room when they opened fire.MENENDEZ BROTHERS' RESENTENCING MOVES FORWARD AS DA CALLS OUT DECEIT, 'NARCISSISTIC TENDENCIES' IN PRISONTheir first trial ended in a mistrial, when jurors couldn't agree on their fate. After a second trial in the mid-1990s, in which some of their evidence about the alleged sexual abuse was excluded, jurors agreed with prosecutors that their motive was greed.Lyle Menendez previously gave a public hint at what he plans on doing if he is released.The elder Menendez brother said he's been studying for a master's degree and working on how he might reintegrate with society when he called into a live interview with lawyer Mark Geragos at CrimeCon 2024 in Nashville."Well, I'm hoping that I've had these discussions with corrections officials who are in charge of letting formerly incarcerated people return to the prisons to do good work, and they are definitely open to and would like me to continue to work on this idea of transforming prison yards so that it creates living environments and communities that produce better neighbors," Lyle said.While in prison, he has been working on therapy groups with other inmates and plans to continue his advocacy work for survivors of childhood sex abuse, he added.CALIFORNIA AG TAKES STANCE ON MENENDEZ BROTHERS PROSECUTOR STAYING ON CASE AMID RESENTENCING BATTLE"I've had talks with Rosie O'Donnell about creating a foundation where we would go and try to speak to the forums in those groups and help in that space," Lyle added. "It's an area that I spend a lot of my time in."On Friday, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman and his office fired off one last Hail Mary to have Judge Michael Jesic halt the resentencing process, set in motion by former L.A. DA George Gascon.Hochman's office failed as Judge Michael Jesic said "there was nothing significantly new in the Comprehensive Risk Assessment (CRA) or otherwise for him to stop the process."But before the judge made his final ruling, which cleared the way for the brothers' resentencing to proceed, Hochman detailed why new evidence in the CRA reports raised red flags, details he added were not in the original reports requested by Gascon.MENENDEZ BROTHERS RESENTENCING: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?Hochman shared the findings from each CRA report, which is done by state psychologists from the state parole office, that determine the overall risk assessment of likelihood to commit violence after the release of both Menendez brothers. He argued that the pair is not "low-risk" but more elevated.Each report found that both brothers had been cited in recent months for breaking prison rules for contraband violations, specifically the possession of cellphones.Hochman shared the findings on Lyle Menendez first, whose "actions perpetrated deceit," speaking about the contraband phone.He added that Lyle had "downplayed his rule-breaking" and that his report showed his "entitlement and willingness to meet his own needs."TIMELINE OF THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS' MURDER CASEHochman added that he should have been on his best behavior since his resentencing was on the table.Instead, Hochman said, he proved that "he is more likely to do whatever it takes to meet his own needs and has narcissistic tendencies."FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XJesic noted that the conclusions of the state psychologists are "subjective and not available for cross-examination in his court."SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERHe also noted that those conclusions can change and flagged the various warnings attached to using the CRA outside the state parole system.The brothers return to the Van Nuys West Courthouse on May 13-14 for continued proceedings in their resentencing case.With unresolved issues surrounding the risk assessment report, the upcoming dates remain pivotal as the brothers seek resentencing for their parents' murders.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 47 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDavid Beckham's son, Brooklyn, speaks about his dad as speculation of 'tension' in family continuesDavid and Victoria Beckham's oldest son is commenting on his shared passion with his dad amid speculation there is "tension" in the family.In an interview with the Sunday Times, which was published in May but conducted in March, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, credited his dad with inspiring his love of racing at a young age while discussing his experience at the Formula E Evo Sessions in Miami at the Miami International Autodrome."Its something that me and my dad bonded over. My dads had some pretty cool cars," Beckham said, later adding he has a collection of them and that his favorite is a "1954 Jaguar, which I very rarely drive, only when the weathers perfect."Brooklyn had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the Jaguar I-Type 7 in March when he attended the Formula E Evo Sessions, an event that gave 11 people from the world of sports, entertainment and tech the chance to drive the world's fastest electronic race car.VICTORIA BECKHAM DEFENDS SON BROOKLYN AFTER HIS 'SUNDAY ROAST' CAUSES CONTROVERSYThe younger Beckham's comments come a week after he and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, were noticeably absent from his dad's 50th birthday celebration this month.Victoria posted many photos from birthday events, which featured their three younger children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, captioning the post, "Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all." Their absence from the event reignited rumors of a feud between the couple and his famous parents."There are tensions between Brooklyn and [wife] Nicola [Peltz] and the family," a source told People this month. "The relationship is definitely not beyond repair. They love and are always there for him. Theyre just hurt and disappointed that hes now playing no part in family life."Rumors of a feud between Victoria and Nicola began shortly after she and Brooklyn Beckham tied the knot in April 2022, with many fans noticing Nicola didn't share any photos of his family on social media. Speculation was further fueled when it was revealed Peltz-Beckham didn't wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria.In addition, while her husband attended his mom's 50th birthday party, Peltz-Beckham was noticeably absent, choosing to visit her grandmother instead. She did, however, wish her mother-in-law a happy birthday on Instagram.APP USERS CLICK HERE FOR POSTBoth have shot down speculation of a feud in the past."Ive said this so many times: Theres no feud. I dont know. No one ever wants to write the nice things," Peltz-Beckham told Cosmopolitan in March 2023. "Its really weird, actually, whether its my life or someone elses life or whatever, when you know the truth, and then you read something totally wrong."The couple reportedly began dating in 2019 before officially confirming their relationship in January 2020, when they posted a mirror selfie on Instagram. Just a few months later, in June 2020, the two announced they were engaged.When speaking about the proposal in February 2022, Brooklyn Beckham shared during an appearance on "The Late Late Show With James Corden" that the whole experience "was a little bit nerve-wracking.""I proposed in the countryside in New York in Bedford. I filled [the gazebo] with a bunch of flowers her favorite flower is peonies a bunch of peonies flowers, candles, her favorite wine, some caviar," he said. "I had the ring up there; it was hiding behind some flowers. It was an amazing view of this huge river."0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 65 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMKlobuchar tells NBC she wants to 'move forward,' not dwell on the past, when pressed on Biden commentsSen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., rebuffed two questions on Sunday about former President Biden's remarks in multiple interviews this week, arguing that the party should be moving forward rather than looking back on where they went wrong in 2024.NBC's "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker asked the senator about Biden blaming Harris' loss on sexism and racism. Pressed on whether the lesson Democrats will take from the 2024 election is that they shouldn't put a woman at the top of the ticket, Klobuchar rejected the idea."I hope not. You have seen women run other countries quite well. Angela Merkel comes to mind in Germany. And youve also seen women in the U.S., incredible mayors, incredible governors. I look in the Senate for Democrats in the last election three of the four races where we beat the presidential ticket were women running in Michigan, women running in Nevada, women running in Wisconsin. I mean, this happens. So I just, I dont think thats a lesson to learn. I know its not easy running as a woman. If it was, we could play the game, pick your favorite woman president. You cant," Klobuchar said.The Democratic lawmaker said the party shouldn't be looking backwards.CNN'S SCOTT JENNINGS BREAKS DOWN LAUGHING AT VIEW HOST NAVARRO's CLAIM BIDEN DOESNT TELL MANY LIES'"But I think the president understands theres been sexism President Biden does but to me, I just want to move forward, and weve got incredible candidates across the board running at all levels of government, so let's work on helping the American people, instead of looking backwards. Instead of looking at what happened years ago, I want to look at the now, and people need our help," she said.Earlier in the discussion, Welker asked about Biden's insistance that it didn't matter that he dropped out of the race in July, only giving former Vice President Kamala Harris about 90 days to campaign."You know, everything we look at in a rearview mirror after you lose an election. Yes, we would have been served better by a primary, but we are where we are. Were not on the history channel right now, and I believe that President Biden can come out and speak and do interviews whenever he wants, but I will say this. Were not in the History Channel and our Republican colleagues, instead of dealing with where we are now, think theyre in some kind of a way back zone, that they can go bring time backwards and blame everything on Joe Biden. Donald Trump is the president right now, and we have to deal with helping the American people," Klobuchar said.BIDEN BLASTS TRUMP AS FOOLISH APPEASER OF RUSSIA, SAYS FIRST 100 DAYS WERE NO TRIUMPHCLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"My party, we want to focus on lowering costs and finding new ways to build more housing and get more affordable energy and really working with our entrepreneurs all over the country to seize on this moment that we have with everything from mapping the human genome to AI, to actually expanding more small businesses, not retracting them like this president is doing. So Im not interested in going backward in time. Im interested in going forward," the senator continued.Biden told the BBC this week that it didn't matter when he dropped out of the race because Harris was a fully-funded candidate.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 58 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMAnti-abortion provider measure in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' could spark House GOP rebellionFIRST ON FOX: A measure in President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" aimed at cracking down on federal payments for abortion providers could run into a buzzsaw of opposition from moderate House Republicans.House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., held a conference call with GOP lawmakers on Sunday night unveiling his panel's portion of the Republican reconciliation bill.During the question and answer portion of the call, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., asked for clarity on several aspects, including a provision to make "large groups who provide abortion services" ineligible for federal Medicaid dollars, Fox News Digital was told."You are running into a hornet's nest," Lawler warned his colleagues.BROWN UNIVERSITY IN GOP CROSSHAIRS AFTER STUDENT'S DOGE-LIKE EMAIL KICKS OFF FRENZYThe New York Republican, one of only three GOP lawmakers representing districts that Trump lost in 2024, questioned how those groups were being defined and said the language needed to be "looked over," Fox News Digital was also told.Guthrie assured him that certain considerations were being taken in the language.Lawler also pointed out that the Hyde Amendment already prevents federal dollars from going towards abortion services, Fox News Digital was told.His concerns were echoed by another person familiar with House GOP discussions on the matter, who was granted anonymity to speak freely.That person told Fox News Digital that several moderate Republican lawmakers communicated to House GOP leaders that they could oppose the final bill if that provision was included."We're not fighting a new fight on abortion when that's kind of calmed down," the person recalled of the moderates' argument.Fox News Digital first learned of discussions about the potential measure last week. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., alluded to Republicans' plans in a speech at the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America's gala last month.Johnson said the Republicans' bill would redirect funds from "big abortion" to "federally qualified health centers."The legislation itself refers to nonprofit organizations that are "an essential community providerthat is primarily engaged in family planning services, reproductive health, and related medical care; and provides for abortions."The legislation makes exceptions for facilities that only provide abortions in the case of rape, incest, or threats to the life of the mother.It's one of several efforts to rein in spending to pay for Trump's other priorities via the budget reconciliation process.House Republicans currently have a razor-thin three-vote margin, meaning they can afford to have little dissent and still pass anything without Democratic support. Theyre hoping to do just that, with virtually no Democrats currently on board with Trumps massive Republican policy overhaul.The budget-reconciliation process lowers the Senates passage threshold from 60 votes to 51, lining up the Houses own simple majority threshold.Reconciliation allows the party in power to effectively skirt the minority and pass broad pieces of legislation provided they address taxes, spending or the national debt.Trump wants Republicans to use the maneuver to tackle his priorities on the border, immigration, taxes, defense, energy, and raising the debt ceiling.To do that, several committees of jurisdiction are working on their specific portions of the bill, which will then be put together in a massive vehicle to pass the House and Senate.CHINA IS CAVING TO TRUMP'S TRADE WAR STRATEGY, EXPERT SIGNALSThe Energy & Commerce Committee which has a broad jurisdiction including Medicare, Medicaid, telecommunications, and energy production was tasked with finding at least $880 billion in spending cuts out of a total $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion.Guthrie said the bill released late on Sunday evening includes "north of" $900 billion in spending cuts.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn addition to the measure ending Medicaid funds for large abortion providers, the legislation also finds savings in instilling work requirements for certain able-bodied beneficiaries of Medicaid expansion.Some Medicaid dollars going toward states that provide taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants are also targeted.It would also repeal certain Biden administration green energy subsidies, including the former White House's electric vehicle mandate.Fox News Digital reached out to the committee and Lawler's office for comment on the specific measure.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 85 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMJen Psaki holds mock press briefing trashing 'MAGA spin' on White House questionsMSNBCs Jen Psaki appeared to mock White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt with her own spin as press secretary for the Trump administration during her show on Friday."I have noticed the White House briefing room has taken a bit of a bizarro turn lately. And I figured, what the hell, its a Friday night. Why not dust off the cobwebs and field a few questions from the White House press briefing room today? Because its been a while. Of course, Im going to answer them without the usual MAGA spin," Psaki said on "The Briefing."The former White House press secretary used actual questions asked at Fridays press briefing and gave what she believed were proper responses in front of a fake briefing backdrop.JEN PSAKI ADMITS MSNBC'S LIBERAL VIEWERS EXPECT NEGATIVE COVERAGE OF TRUMPOne question included the New York Posts Washington correspondent, Steven Nelsen, asking about any details that could be shared about New York City Mayor Eric Adams meeting with the president."Eric Adams is visiting because he owes his current freedom to the guy sitting in the White House," Psaki said. "Lets stop pretending this is on the level, like where the relationship is between a president and a New York City mayor just coordinating city business in a normal course of events. I mean, even the judge who allowed the case to be dropped said that it, quote, smacks of a bargain."Psaki closed with a question about why President Donald Trump chose to fire the Librarian of Congress, suggesting racism may have played a part in firing a Black woman.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"[W]hy did Trump abruptly fire Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, who has served in her position, I would note, since 2016 and was confirmed by the Senate with bipartisan support in a vote of 74 to 18? Psaki said. "Well, Im going to use a visual aid. Heres a picture of her. Ill let you draw your own conclusions on why Trump and his administration decided to fire Carla Hayden. Hope that was all clarifying."Psaki took over MSNBCs coveted 9 p.m. ET timeslot on Tuesday through Fridays this week with her show "The Briefing." The show debuted with 1.2 million viewers and 139,000 in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, but her second episode on Wednesday plummeted to just over one million total viewers and only 65,000 in the demo.MSNBCs newest program shed a staggering 53% of its demo viewers compared to the first episode only one day prior. Psakis program also lost a whopping 67% of viewers between the ages of 18-49 after only one episode, as "The Briefing" averaged 113,000 on Tuesday and only 37,000 on Wednesday.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 84 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMSchumer calls on Transportation Secretary Duffy to 'immediately fix' Newark Airport situationSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is demanding U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy "immediately fix the situation at Newark Airport," following a stretch of travel mishaps and chaos."When people hear about radar screens just going dark, traffic controllers who cannot talk to planes, technology that is seemingly working no better than tin cans, they do not think this is a story about the Trump administrations FAA, but that is what is so scary: this story is real and this story is dangerous. This situation is also unacceptable,"Schumer said in a statement on Sunday."I have communicated this past week with the FAA, and I feel no better today than a week ago about the state of aviation safety since this administration took the controls at FAA. As I said last week, Newark is a harbinger. If this dangerous situation can happen in the metro region, imagine what might happen in places where there is less scrutiny. This really makes you worry."HAKEEM JEFFRIES BLAMES TRUMP FOR NEWARK AIRPORT CHAOS, ACCUSES WHITE HOUSE OF 'BREAKING THE FAA'On Thursday, more than 500 flights in and out of Newark were delayed and at least 200 others were canceled, and chaos followed throughout the weekend.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the situation on poor technology in an X post.NEWARK AIRPORT DISRUPTIONS LEAVE AIRLINE FLYERS SCRAMBLING AS EXPERTS SHARE TIPS FOR NOT BEING 'STRANDED'"The technology that we are using is old. Thats what is causing the outages and delays we are seeing at Newark," Duffy wrote.Schumer stated there have been an average of 34 arrival cancellations per day since mid-April at Newark, according to the FAA, with the number of delays increasing throughout the day from an average of five in the mornings to 16 by the evening. They tend to last 85 to 137 minutes on average, reports say.LAWMAKERS REACT TO NEWARK AIRPORT CHAOS: YOUR FAMILY DESERVES TO KNOW YOULL BE SAFE'On Sunday, Schumer said Duffy "must put Newark first in line for fixes he said would be made to the nations ATC systems."He also gave specific details about the work that needs to be done, including installing a DIRECT fiber-optic telco line between Newark Airport and Philadelphia terminal radar approach control center, no more indirect runaround. Schumer called for a "modernized, direct connection and new computers to analyze and display transmitted data."In a lengthy statement obtained by Fox News and Fox Business, the FAA acknowledged that "several major airlines are facing ongoing flight disruptions at New Jersey's Newark-Liberty International Airport as the facility contends with ongoing staffing and technology issues.""Last week, air traffic controllers at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facility in Philadelphia lost radar and radio signals while directing planes to Newark for nearly 90 seconds, causing significant delays and flight cancellations that remain ongoing," the statement continued."We are working to ensure the current telecommunications equipment is more reliable in the New York area by establishing a more resilient and redundant configuration with the local exchange carriers. In addition, we are updating our automation system to improve resiliency."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWhen reached by Fox News Digital, a representative for Duffy pointed to an interview the secretary gave earlier in the day to FOX Business' "The Evening Edit.""I love Democrats who are now all concerned about air traffic control," Duffy said."They spent $1.2 trillion in the Biden-Buttigieg era; $1 .2 trillion on American infrastructure, and they didn't spend anything on air traffic [control] and they knew it was getting old and needed a massive rebuild. They didn't do it. Now they're complaining during the Trump administration, we're the ones that are."Fox News Digital's Andrea Margolis and Charles Creitz contributed to this report.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 92 Visualizações 0 Anterior
