WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrans Dem Rep. McBride suggests party went too far with transgender agenda before public was readyRep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., told the New York Times on Tuesday that the Democratic Party may have overplayed their hand with regard to trans issues during the 2024 election cycle.McBride, the first transgender representative who was elected to Congress in 2024, spoke to The New York Times' Ezra Klein about where the Democratic Party went wrong on transgender issues and how they should approach winning back the public."I think thats an accurate reflection of the overplaying of the hand in some ways that we as a coalition went to Trans 201, Trans 301, when people were still at a very much Trans 101 stage," McBride said.McBride suggested that the trans movement caused a perceived cultural aggression that allowed the GOP to say, "Were punishing trans people because of their actions. Rather than: Were going after innocent bystanders."DEMOCRATIC REP CALLS ON PARTY TO TOLERATE DISSENTING IDEAS ON CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES"And I think some of the cultural mores and norms that started to develop around inclusion of trans people were probably premature for a lot of people. We became absolutist not just on trans rights but across the progressive movement and we forgot that in a democracy we have to grapple with where the public authentically is and actually engage with it. Part of this is fostered by social media," the Delaware lawmaker said. McBride argued that progressives pushed for every single perfect policy and cultural norm without keeping public opinion in mind."We decided that we now have to say and fight for and push for every single perfect policy and cultural norm right now, regardless of whether the public is ready. And I think it misunderstands the role that politicians and, frankly, social movements have in maintaining proximity to public opinion, of walking people to a place," McBride told the NYT.The Democratic lawmaker cautioned the party not to get too far ahead of public opinion and said they lose their grip on it if they do.ANONYMOUS DEMOCRATS CONFESS TO TIME MAGAZINE THEIR PARTY IS TOO EXTREME ON ABORTION, TRANS ATHLETES"And I think a lot of the conversations around sports and also some of the cultural changes that we saw in expected workplace behavior, etc. was the byproduct of maybe just getting too far out ahead and not actually engaging in the art of social change-making," McBride continued.McBride said in November that the GOP's focus on countering trans issues was a "distraction.""I think we are all united that attempts to attack a vulnerable community are not only mean-spirited, but really an attempt to misdirect. Because every single time we hear the incoming administration or Republicans in Congress talk aboutany vulnerable group in this country, we have to be clear that it is an attempt to distract," McBride said during an interview last year with CBS.The lawmaker was surprised by Republicans prioritizing efforts to keep transgender athletes out of girls' sports, according to a January 2025 interview.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"I've had conversations with colleagues about many of the bills that are coming before us and certainly have heard from some colleagues who, like me, are mystified that this is a priority for a Republican conference that is entering a Republican trifecta, that this is an issue that they prioritize," McBride said.McBride noted during the interview with Klein that the transgender movement needed to negotiate with public opinion, and that they shouldn't treat the public like Republican politicians."When you recognize that distinction, I think it allows for a pragmatic approach that has, in my mind, the best possible chance of shifting public opinion as quickly as possible. It would be one thing if screaming about how dangerous this is right now had the effect of stopping these attacks, but it wont," McBride said.0 Comments 0 Shares 165 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFlorida man convicted posing as flight attendant to get dozens of free flightsA South Florida man who pretended to be a flight attendant booked "more than 120 free flights," the Department of Justice (DOJ) said.Tiron Alexander, 35, was convicted by a federal jury of wire fraud and entering a secure area of an airport by false pretenses on June 5, according to a press release by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida.Authorities say from 2018 to 2024, Alexander booked free flights on an airline carrier's website that were only meant for pilots and flight attendants. Of all the flights booked, Alexander flew on 34 "without paying for any of them by posing as a flight attendant who worked for other airlines."The website Alexander used required credentials, such as airline employed by, date of hire and badge number. Over the years, he said that he worked for seven different airlines and used about 30 different badge numbers and dates of hire.TSA AGENT ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY ATTACKING 79-YEAR-OLD PASSENGER AT FLORIDA AIRPORT"The evidence at trial also showed that Alexander posed as a flight attendant on three other airline carriers. Ultimately, Alexander booked more than 120 free flights by falsely claiming to be a flight attendant," the statement said.OH, CANADA: TORONTO MAN PLEADS GUILTY AFTER WILD AIRPORT ASSAULT ON TSA AGENTS IN MIAMI WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEOThe Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) investigated the case. A spokesman told Fox News Digital the agency is "pleased" with Alexander's guilty verdict on all five counts against him."While Alexander was able to board flights by fraudulently obtaining a boarding pass, he underwent all applicable TSA security procedures, including ID verification and physical screening, and did not pose a threat to other airline passengers," a TSA statement said."TSA remains dedicated to the security of the flying public and will continue to support the prosecution of those who break air travel laws," the statement added.Alexander's sentencing is set for Aug. 25.0 Comments 0 Shares 141 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMAmericans told to avoid coffee during extreme heat warning in 3 statesAmericans are being advised to avoid drinking coffee in three states where "extreme" temperatures are being forecast this week.The National Weather Service in Las Vegas issued an extreme heat warning for Wednesday and Thursday in portions of California, Arizona and Nevada.A social media post from the National Weather Service included a "do" and "don't" graphic.THE OPTIMAL TIME TO DRINK COFFEE ISN'T WHEN YOU NORMALLY HAVE ITThe National Weather Service encourages people to stay hydrated, use sunscreen for protection and plan outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day.It also cautioned against drinking alcohol and caffeine and eating heavy foods.A similar warning was also issued for Father's Day."When it's really hot outside, it's a good idea to think twice before reaching for that cold beer or cocktail," Lauren Manaker, a registered dietitian-nutritionist in South Carolina, told Fox News Digital.MCDONALD'S CHEF REVEALS WHY COFFEE FROM FAST-FOOD GIANT TASTES SO GOOD"Alcohol can actually make it harder for your body to stay hydrated."Alcohol is a diuretic, "which means it makes you lose more fluids than you take in," Manaker said. So it leaves you "more at risk for dehydration.""Plus, it can interfere with your body's ability to regulate temperature, making you feel even hotter and potentially leading to heat exhaustion or worse," Manaker said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERModerate consumption of caffeinated beverages like coffee or tea "doesn't drastically increase your risk of dehydration," Manaker noted, "and for many people, it can still be part of their daily routine, even in hot weather.""It's important to consider the quantity when consuming caffeinated beverages," Manaker said."One cup of coffee or tea is unlikely to cause significant dehydration for most individuals, especially when balanced with adequate water intake throughout the day."But it's still "important to pay attention to how your body reacts," Manaker said."Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic when consumed in larger quantities."WHAT IS MUSHROOM COFFEE? CAFFEINE ALTERNATIVE OFFERS SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITSOne "surprising hydrating choice" to consider is milk, Manaker said."Research has found that milk actually hydrates better than water or sports drinks," she said."This is because milk is packed with natural electrolytes like potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium, along with carbohydrates and protein, which help your body recover and retain fluids after exercise."A 2016 study from the University of St. Andrews School of Medicine in Scotland revealed that fat-free milk was the top hydrator, while whole milk was the third-best performing of the drinks tested.Coffee was the least hydrating, according to the study.For more Lifestyle articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/lifestyleThe National Weather Service also advised against eating heavy foods that "can be harder for your body to digest, and on a very hot day, this can leave you feeling sluggish and overheated," Manaker said."When you eat a large, heavy meal, your body has to work harder to break it down, which can actually raise your internal temperature," she said. "This extra effort might make it even tougher to stay cool in the heat."Instead, Manaker said, try lighter meals with fresh ingredients like salads, grilled vegetables or lean proteins.They're "easier on your system and can help you feel more energized and comfortable."Watermelon is another "excellent choice," Manaker said.0 Comments 0 Shares 149 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDriver avoids prison in 100-mph crash that killed college studentA Michigan mother is heartbroken again after the teenager who killed her son in a 2023 car crash was spared prison time during his sentencing last week.Grosse Pointe police initially responded to the single-vehicle crash on Nov. 17, 2023, and located the defendant, Kiernan Tague, belted into the driver's seat, and the 18-year-old victim, Flynn MacKrell, unresponsive and belted into the passenger seat.Prosecutors accused Tague of driving about 100 mph in a 25-mph zone around 9 p.m. when he crashed the vehicle into a telephone pole.The defendant was initially charged with second-degree murder but later pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a motor vehicle with an adult designation in February 2025 and was given a "blended sentence" last week due to his age at the time of the crash: 16.TEEN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO KILLED WOMAN IN COLORADO CRASH GETS PROBATION, THEN IS ARRESTED BY ICE WITH FAMILYTague, now 18, was sentenced to serve probation at a Level two placement facility, as FOX 2 Detroit reported. Fox News Digital reached out to Tague's attorney for comment."The evidence in this case will show that the defendant was driving in a residential neighborhood at speeds that rival speeding on Michigan freeways," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a June 13 statement. "Sadly, Mr. MacKrell lost his life as a result. We know that the rules of the road exist for a reason, speed kills. Driving 25 in a residential neighborhood is mandated, not a mere suggestion."PROGRESSIVE PROSECUTOR LETS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TEEN OFF EASY AFTER CRASH THAT KILLED 24 YEAR-OLD WOMANMacKrell's mother, Anne Vanker, of Grosse Pointe, expressed her disappointment with the sentencing results in a June 13 Facebook post.MALIBU MAN TO STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER IN HIGH-SPEED CRASH THAT LEFT 4 PEPPERDINE STUDENTS DEAD"Today, instead of being held accountable, Kiernan Tague was once again shielded from facing the full consequences of his violent and criminal actions. He killed my son, Flynn MacKrell, through repeated reckless and destructive behavior, and yet, even after 18 months, the justice system has failed to hold him fully responsible," Vanker wrote.Vanker added that "[d]espite clear recommendations from two pre-sentencing reports calling for adult sentencing, overwhelming evidence, and the applicable Michigan Court Rules that allow the court to consider the full scope of Kiernans behavior, the court chose leniency over accountability.""This decision results in a continued injustice for Flynn, our family, and every community that expects real consequences for fatal, preventable actions," Vanker said, adding that her family "will never stop fighting for Flynn" and "will continue to advocate for stronger laws."TEENS' NIGHT OF ROCK THROWING LEADS TO MURDER CONVICTION FOR MAN, NOW 20"My son, my Flynn, was my life, my heart. No words can capture the silence, the rage, and the sorrow that fill every corner of my world. This statement cannot express the hell I live every day since Flynn's death, but Flynn's voice was stolen, now mine must speak for him."She also read a victim impact statement in court last week during the sentencing hearing. In her statement, Vanker remembered her son, who had just started studying at the University of Dayton before the crash, as "a cherished child of God" and "a true gift."She also described Tague's "escalating violent behavior" and "willful disregard for his mother's authority, the law, and basic human life." Vanker added that Tague has never acknowledged "the gravity of the crime" and has never expressed "remorse" for Flynn's death."Kiernan Tague has been involved in 20 police incidents since 2018. Most of these police interactions were triggered by Kiernan's mother calling 911 because of his uncontrollable outbursts," she wrote.Tague's driving history in the months before the crash included hitting speeds of 102 mph, 127 mph, 143 mph, 150 mph and 155 mph, the Detroit Free Press reported, citing police reports, cellphone exchanges and Life360 records.Vanker also noted that Tague's family used the Life 360 app to keep tabs on their son's location, as many parents do, and a search warrant for data from the app showed Tague's reckless driving tendencies. Police reports, Life360 records and other documents showed"From November 1 to November 17, Kiernan made 94 trips in his car," Vanker wrote. "Of those 94 trips, 10% were over 120 [mph], 18% were over 110 [mph], 26% were over 100 [mph], and 45% were over 90 [mph]. The top speed was recorded on November 1, 2023, when Kiernan Tague traveled at or above 153.7 mph for 20.5 miles."Tague also spoke at his sentencing and at times became choked up when talking about Flynn, whom he described as his best friend, according to FOX 2."My heart is profoundly heavy with grief, regret and remorse," Tague said on June 13, as FOX 2 reported. "What pains me most is that I know that any pain that I've experienced is nothing compared to what Flynn's loved ones, especially his parents, sister, brother, and family have experienced."0 Comments 0 Shares 164 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFetterman calls out fellow Democrats for 'crazy' rhetoric, criticism of DC military paradeSen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., blasted his own party's more progressive wing while responding to protesters who booed his name during the "No Kings Day" rally in Philadelphia."I'm not sure why Democrats would boo a fellow Democrat, but that's their prerogative," he told "America's Newsroom" Tuesday.The swing state Democrat, who has broken with his party on a number of issues in the past, went on to criticize many of his fellow party members' ire towards last weekend's military parade organized to commemorate 250 years of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C.SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN SUPPORTS TRUMP'S MILITARY PARADES, CALLS ON AMERICANS TO CELEBRATE REGARDLESS OF POLITICS"There was no goose-stepping, and first of all, stop ever comparing anyone, anything, to the Nazis and those kinds of things. That's crazy," he said."And now remember, that's our soldiers. This is not an occupying force, and this is the 250th anniversary of the Army. I'm not sure why it's outrageous to have a parade to celebrate the Army. That's not anything extreme. It's celebrating a quarter of a millennia of the American Army. I don't understand why that's controversial."FETTERMAN DEFIES 'PUNITIVE' PUNISHMENT FOR BREAKING WITH DEMOCRATIC PARTY DURING BIPARTISAN DISCUSSIONFetterman also doubled down on his "unapologetic" support for Israel in its tussle with Iran, breaking with some on the left, like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who introduced the "No War Against Iran Act" to block U.S. military action without congressional approval.Fetterman, warning that Iran has "nuclear ambitions" and that the U.S. cannot allow the terrorism-sponsoring nation to acquire a bomb, plans to "vote that down.""I am always going to stand with Israel through this," he said."Now, if I am an outlier and Democratic, I guess perhaps [I am]. I am unapologetically very pro-Israel. [Iran has] Hamas and Hezbollah, so now let's hold them accountable for this."Fetterman also broke ranks by saying he "absolutely" supports efforts to remove criminal illegal immigrants from communities in larger cities he represents."Absolutely target the criminals that are here illegally and deport them No one should be here illegally if they have a criminal record or are engaging in criminal behavior," he said.He added the caveat that otherwise law-abiding "hardworking migrants" should not be targeted.0 Comments 0 Shares 152 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump's stance against Iran nuclear ambitions backed by vast majority of Americans: pollEXCLUSIVE When it comes to Iran's nuclear program, President Donald Trump has been clear about one key point."IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON," the president reiterated this week.It was one of a handful of signs from the president that he's considering joining Israel's nearly week-long bombardment of Iran, as the two Middle Eastern juggernauts continue to blast each other with missiles and other aerial attacks.And a new poll indicates that Americans agree with Trump on the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.HEAD HERE FOR LIVE FOX NEWS UPDATES ON THE ISRAEL-IRAN FIGHTINGEighty-four percent of those questioned in a national survey released by the Ronald Reagan Institute said preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons matters to U.S. security and prosperity. The figures were shared first with Fox News on Tuesday.Preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons was the top response, followed by 75% who said a potential war between China and Taiwan matters to U.S. security and prosperity, with illegal immigration across the southern border of the U.S. one point back at 74%.TRUMP HINTS AT MUCH BIGGER PLAN THAN CEASEFIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRANSeventy-three percent of those surveyed in the poll said the war between Russia and Ukraine matters to U.S. security and prosperity, followed by 71% saying the security of Israel and 69% pointing to tariffs to promote trade deals.The poll of adult Americans was conducted from May 22-June 2, before Israel's unprecedented attack late last week on Iran, named "Operation Rising Lion," which included strikes on both the Islamic State's nuclear program and military leaders. The attack triggered a response by Iran, and the two sides have since traded fire daily.PLURALITY OF AMERICANS BACK ISRAELI ATTACKS ON IRAN: POLLAccording to numbers shared with Fox News late last week, 45% of those questioned said they would support Israel conducting targeted airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilities if diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran fail.Thirty-seven percent said they opposed Israeli airstrikes, with 18% unsure.But the poll indicated a partisan divide.Six in 10 Republicans said they support the airstrikes, but that backing dropped to 35% among independents and 32% among Democrats.Twenty-seven percent of Republicans opposed the Israeli airstrikes, with a third of independents and just over half of Democrats opposed.0 Comments 0 Shares 136 Views 0 Reviews
