    House Democrat calls for 'immediate' ethics probe of Qatari plane gift to Trump
    A Democratic congressman is calling for an ethics investigation over President Donald Trump's plans to accept a $400 million jet from Qatar that would temporarily serve as Air Force One before being allotted to Trump's presidential library after he leaves office.Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., wrote to the Government Accountability Office on Sunday, noting that the plane would be the single most expensive gift ever received by a U.S. president. Torres derided the deal as a "flying grift," arguing it violates the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which "explicitly prohibits any person holding public office from accepting any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.'""I am writing to express alarm over reports that President Donald Trump is poised to accept a luxury aircraft a Boeing 747-8 from the government of Qatar. The plane, so opulent it has been described as a palace in the sky, is set to be made available to President Trump for official use as Air Force One and then for private use once he leaves office," Torres wrote."This flying grift is merely the latest chapter in a tawdry tale of presidential profiteering unprecedented in American history," Torres added.TRUMP TEASES 'VERY, VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT' AHEAD OF MIDDLE EAST TRIP, CARNEY SAYS HE'S 'ON EDGE OF MY SEAT'Trump described the deal in his own words on social media in a post Sunday night."So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40-year-old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane," he wrote."Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!!" he added.TRUMP STAFFERS LOAD BOXES OF ITEMS SEIZED BY FBI IN 2022 MAR-A-LAGO RAID ONTO AIR FORCE ONEABC News reported that Trump toured the plane in West Palm Beach earlier this year. While the deal is set to be announced during Trump's trip to the Middle East this week, the actual transaction is not expected to be made until later. Qatari officials say they expect to donate the plane through the Pentagon."The possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently under consideration between Qatar's Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense, but the matter remains under review by the respective legal departments, and no decision has been made," Qatari embassy official Ali Al-Ansari told ABC News.Presidents have for decades circumvented the Emoluments Clause by classifying gifts they receive while in office as gifts to the office of the president. Those gifts are then cataloged and stored as part of their presidential libraries after leaving office. While presidents maintain some level of access to the items in their libraries, they do not own them directly and must purchase them from the federal government in order to secure private ownership.TRUMP STAFFERS LOAD BOXES OF ITEMS SEIZED BY FBI IN 2022 MAR-A-LAGO RAID ONTO AIR FORCE ONEIf the jet were to enter Trump's presidential library, it is unclear how costs would be apportioned for maintenance and usage costs.When not in office as president, Trump has traveled in his private Boeing 757 jet, dubbed Trump Force One. That jet is famously emblazoned with Trump's last name and was frequently seen in the backdrop of campaign rallies.

    Common household spice may interfere with medicines, study suggests
    Cinnamon is a popular spice used in food and drinks. It's also used as a supplement for its claims of helping to reduce inflammation and manage blood sugar and cardiovascular health.Despite its flavorful and potential health benefits, a recent study suggested cinnamon may pose a health risk in some individuals taking certain medications, according to a report in Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences."Controlled ingestion of cinnamon-containing foods or supplements may have beneficial effects, but overconsumption could induce PXR (pregnane X receptor) or AhR-dependent (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) herb-drug interactions, which can bring deleterious effects on human health, particularly in individuals with chronic health conditions," University of Mississippi researchers said in the study.AMERICANS' HIGH SUGAR CONSUMPTION PROMPTS URGENT WARNING FROM HEALTH LEADERSThe main component of cinnamon called cinnamaldehyde activates receptors in the body that metabolize medication, the authors said.But consuming it in large quantities may reduce the effectiveness of some medicines."Overconsumption of supplements could lead to a rapid clearance of the prescription medicine from the body, and that could result in making the medicine less effective," said Shabana Khan, one of the study authors from the National Center for Natural Products Research in Mississippi.The health risk may depend on the type of cinnamon ingested.BOY ORDERS 70,000 LOLLIPOPS TO HIS HOME USING MOM'S PHONE: 'ABOUT FAINTED'Cinnamon bark, especially cassia cinnamon, contains a high level of a blood thinner called coumarin, the report said."Coumarin's anticoagulant properties can be hazardous for individuals on blood thinners," said Amar Chittiboyina, the center's associate director and one of the study authors."In contrast, true cinnamon from Sri Lanka carries a lower risk due to its reduced coumarin content."Elaena Quattrocchi, a pharmacist and associate professor of pharmacy practice at Long Island University in New York, told Fox News Digital that "consuming half to 1 teaspoon of cassia cinnamon powder or 2.5 teaspoons of eylon cinnamon daily is considered safe for most adults."'DINOSAUR TIME' VIRAL FOOD TREND PUSHES SALAD GREENS, BUT DOES IT WORK?But Quattrocchi, who was not affiliated with the study, warned that coumarin can cause liver damage with excessive use.People with pre-existing liver conditions should speak with their healthcare providers before consuming cinnamon.Cinnamon oil, used in food and drinks and topically as an antifungal or antibacterial, presents almost "no risk of herb-drug interactions," Chittiboyina said, according to the report.Individuals with chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, cancer, HIV/AIDS, obesity or depression "should be cautious when using cinnamon or any other supplements," said Khan.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAlthough sprinkling cinnamon on your coffee is "unlikely to cause an issue, using highly concentrated cinnamon as a dietary supplement might," the study said.Researchers acknowledged that more analysis is needed to investigate herb-drug interactions with cinnamon and its role in the human body.For more Lifestyle articles, visitfoxnews.com/lifestyle"We know there's a potential for cinnamaldehyde to activate these receptors that can pose a risk for drug interactions but we won't know exactly what will happen until we do a clinical study," co-author Bill Gurley said in the release.Khan said before using any supplements with prescribed medication, people should talk to their healthcare providers.

    Trump's 17th week back in office to focus on Middle East trip, admin leaders ironing out China trade talks
    President Donald Trump's 17th week back in the Oval Office will see him focus on his visit to the Middle East, which will mark the first major overseas trip of his second term."President Trump will return to [the Middle East to] re-emphasize his continued vision for a proud, prosperous and successful Middle East where the United States and Middle Eastern nations are in cooperative relationships and where extremism is defeated in place of commerce and cultural exchanges," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday."This trip ultimately highlights how we stand on the brink of the golden age for both America and the Middle East, united by a shared vision of stability, opportunity and mutual respect, the president greatly looks forward to visiting with our brave men and women in uniform at our U.S. air base in Qatar throughout this trip."Trump is slated to depart Washington, D.C., on Monday for visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The president disclosed last week, when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the White House, that he would be making "a very, very big announcement" ahead of his departure for the Middle East, but has not shared additional details.TRUMP AND CHINA CLOSE IN ON TRADE DEAL AFTER PRODUCTIVE TALKS, BESSENT SAYS"We're going to have a very, very big announcement to make, like as big as it gets," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday. "And I won't tell you on what and it's very positive.""It is really, really positive. And that announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday or Monday before we leave," Trump added. "But it'll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, very important subject. So you'll all be here."ISRAEL SAYS TRUMPS MIDDLE EAST VISIT IS THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR HOSTAGE DEALTrump's four-day trip abroad comes amid continuing war between Israel and Hamas, ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations over Irans nuclear program, and reported plans to broaden his first administration's Abraham Accords, which normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab League nations such as the United Arab Emirates."Eight years ago, President Trumps first trip was to this same region of the world, where he introduced his bold peace-through-strength foreign policy strategy. On that trip, the president laid out his goal of eradicating terrorism and extremism in the region, which he successfully accomplished over the course of his administration with the total defeat of ISIS and the historic signing of the Abraham Accords," Leavitt told the media on Friday.TRUMP TEASES 'VERY, VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT' AHEAD OF MIDDLE EAST TRIP, CARNEY SAYS HE'S 'ON EDGE OF MY SEAT'Under his first administration, Trump made his maiden voyage as president in 2017 to Saudi Arabia and Israel, before also traveling to Europe. The trip to the Middle East this week is billed as Trump's first major overseas travel as president, though Trump also visited Rome late last month for Pope Francis' funeral at the Vatican.As Trump prepares to depart for the Middle East, administration officials spent the weekend in Geneva negotiating with Chinese counterparts to iron out a potential trade agreement.Early Monday morning, the U.S. and China released a joint statement revealing that "the United States and China will each lower tariffs by 115% while retaining an additional 10% tariff," according to the White House.The U.S. imposed tariffs as high as 145% on Chinese goods earlier this year as the president looks to bring parity to the nation's chronic trade deficit with foreign countries.The tariffs on China followed Trump's April 2 "Liberation Day" trade announcement, when he unveiled his reciprocal tariff plan on dozens of nations, including China. He paused all the reciprocal tariffs except on China later that month as countries requested to make trade deals. China, meanwhile, imposed their own tariffs on the U.S., including a 125% duty tax on U.S. goods.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met with Chinese trade officials in Switzerland this weekend, where Trump said "great progress" was made between the two countries."Many things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner. We want to see, for the good of both China and the U.S., an opening up of China to American business. GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!" he posted on Truth Social on Saturday.TRUMP SAYS 80% TARIFF ON CHINA SEEMS RIGHT AHEAD OF WEEKEND TALKS WITH BEIJINGBessent added on Sunday that the leaders from both countries held "productive" talks, before revealing early Monday that tariffs imposed on both countries would be reduced for a 90-day period.PIVOTAL TRADE TALKS WITH BEIJING LOOM AS TRUMP SWEARS IN NEW US AMBASSADOR TO CHINA: WHAT TIMINGThe Trump administration is slated to begin welcoming White Afrikaners from South Africa to the U.S. this week as they face "unjust racial discrimination" in their home country, according to the administration."Whats happening in South Africa fits the textbook definition of why the refugee program was created," White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told reporters Friday. "This is persecution based on a protected characteristic in this case, race. This is race-based persecution."Trump signed an executive order in February that cut U.S. funds to the South African government as well as an offer to Afrikaners allowing them to move to the U.S. under refugee status.TRUMP TO BRING WHITE AFRIKANERS TO US AS REFUGEES FROM SOUTH AFRICA, IN WAKE OF EXPROPRIATION LEGISLATIONTrump signed the EO targeting South Africa after the country enacted a law allowing the government "to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners agricultural property without compensation" and the country taking "aggressive positions toward the United States and its allies, including accusing Israel.""The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take appropriate steps, consistent with law, to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination," Trumps order said."Such plan shall be submitted to the President through the Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor," he said.Trump is expected to return from his trip to the Middle East on Friday, May 16.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAs of Sunday, Trump has signed 147 executive orders since his inauguration in January, including a whopping 143 within his first 100 days as president, dwarfing the number of EOs signed by his predecessors stretching back to at least President Franklin D. Roosevelt.Fox News Digital's Diana Stancy and Brie Stimson contributed to this report.

    One big state needs to stop paying lobbyist salaries
    Momentum to eliminate government waste is sweeping the nation from Washingtons Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to parallel initiatives in Texas. In that spirit, we recently met to discuss Senate Bill 19 (SB19), which state Senator Mayes Middleton authored, and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick designated a top legislative priority. It would make Texas the first state to ban the use of public funds for lobbying essential to restore republican principles and defund corrupt, anti-taxpayer special interests. We are a government of the people, by the people and for the people, which makes using the peoples money to push special interests untenable.What exactly is taxpayer-funded lobbying? In recent years, Texas has seen a surge of local governments, school districts and associations such as the Texas Association of School Boards hiring lobbyists with your tax dollars to wine, dine and entertain legislators in an effort to influence legislation.PROTESTERS WEIGH IN ON ELON MUSK'S SPACEX HOME BECOMING NEWEST CITY IN SOUTH TEXASUnder Texas law, "lobbying" refers to registered Austin lobbyists hired or contracted to influence legislation. Despite taxpayers expectation that government entities act in the publics interest, local governments, school districts and associations regularly hire lobbyists to thwart the will of voters.Your tax dollars are being used to lobby for divisive, left-wing causes. Progressive politicians backed by radicals like billionaire George Soros use hundreds of millions of dollars to try and force their agenda on the Texas legislature to kill common-sense policies and push the state left. For example, taxpayer-funded lobbyists in Texas spend public funds to oppose bans on men entering women's restrooms. Worse still, many unelected bureaucrats and regulators are captured by the very industries they oversee, using tax dollars on lobbyists who entrench oligopolies and crush competition. Unsurprisingly, taxpayer-funded lobbyists also oppose tax relief and instead support increasing sales taxes, gas taxes and raising vehicle registration fees. Theyve lobbied against common-sense issues such as border security, voter ID, teacher pay raises, election integrity with citizenship verification and parental choice in education.At a time when Texas faces real problems in public safety, infrastructure and essential services, spending upwards of $100 million annually on lobbyists is indefensible. The public overwhelmingly agrees. A recent public opinion poll reveals that 81% of Texans oppose the practice and would prefer that the Texas legislature abolish it. Rather than waste money arming ideological opponents to fight for causes Texans reject, Texas leaders should boldly pursue a better future: investing valuable tax dollars in roads or law enforcement or, better yet, offering Texans tax relief.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONCrucially, SB19 in no way silences local governments. Local officials can still call, write and testify before the legislature precisely as our founders intended. Cities, and indeed all local governments, were created to serve the people, and the people are tired of having their voices drowned out by hired guns using their own tax dollars against them. A ban on taxpayer-funded lobbying encourages direct representation and communication. It in no way prevents local elected officials or their staff from communicating with the legislature, traveling to Austin, or incurring related expenses to make their voice heard.All government is created by the people, who grant it powers to represent us. By funding lobbyists who push agendas voters reject, local governments violate the consent of the governed and break the core principle of representation from which the American and Texas constitutions derive their authority. In effect, entrenched bureaucrats create a self-sustaining cycle of influence that subverts genuine democracy.By continuing to allow public funds to flow into the hands of progressive special interests that undermine the very principles Texans hold dear, we risk eroding the constitutional foundations on which our state and nation were built. As part of this broader struggle, taxpayer-funded lobbying is the USAID of Texas, but the DOGE initiativeincluding SB19 aims to defund this egregious waste. By passing SB19, we will strengthen public trust and ensure tax dollars serve Texans real needs, not the interests of bureaucrats and their hired guns. This session, we hope you will join us in the call to finally ban taxpayer-funded lobbying once and for all. It is time to show the country that government of, by and for the people thrives here in the Lone Star State.Joe Lonsdale is an entrepreneur and investor. He co-founded Palantir Technologies and the venture firm 8VC.

    Trump China tariff truce ignites stock markets will it also pump up president's poll numbers?
    Global stock markets are soaring in the wake of the trade truce between the U.S. and China.The agreement, announced early Monday, implements a 90-day cooling-off period between the world's two largest economic superpowers, bringing a temporary end to their tariff war that last month triggered a massive financial market sell-off.U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, which were jacked to 145% last month as President Donald Trump hiked tariffs on countries around the world, will be scaled down to 30%, with Beijing lowering its tariffs from a retaliatory 125% to just 10%."We both have an interest in balanced trade, the U.S. will continue moving towards that," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said after talks with Chinese officials in Switzerland.WHAT'S IN THE TRADE TRUCE WITH CHINAWhile the initial agreement brought instant relief to the stock markets, for a president aiming to pass a sweeping agenda through Congress and hold onto his congressional majorities in next year's midterm elections, it is the potential political payoff that may be of upmost importance.The truce with China follows days after an initial trade deal with the United Kingdom which is the first since Trump implemented tariffs last month. The president touted that the agreement with London would be "the first of many.""It's a positive first step," veteran Republican strategist and communicator Ryan Williams told Fox News.COMMERCE SECRETARY SAYS MORE DEALS TO COME FOLLOWING US-UK TRADE AGREEMENT: 'GOING TO DRIVE OUR ECONOMY'Trump's approval ratings have been sliding since he returned to power in the White House nearly four months ago and are now underwater in most national polling.Most, but not all, of the most recent national public opinion surveys indicate Trump's approval ratings in negative territory, which is a deterioration from the president's poll position when he started his second tour of duty in the White House in late January.Fueling the drop in Trump's poll numbers are increased concerns by Americans over the economy and inflation, which were pressing issues that kept former President Joe Biden's approval ratings well below water for most of his presidency. Trump stood at 44% approval and 55% disapproval in the most recent Fox News national poll, which was conducted April 18-21.Additionally, getting past the top lines, the president's approval registered at 38% on the economy and just 33% on inflation and tariffs.Front and center is Trump's blockbuster tariff announcement in early April, which sparked a trade war with some of the nation's top trading partners and triggered a massive sell-off in the financial markets and increased concerns about a recession.POLL POSITION: WHERE TRUMP STANDS 15 WEEKS INTO HIS SECOND PRESIDENCYIn discussing his tariffs soon after he announced them on what he called "Liberation Day," the president touted that "these countries are calling us up, kissing my a--.""They are dying to make a deal. Please, please, sir, make a deal. Ill do anything. Ill do anything, sir!" Trump claimed.A month later, Trump finally has a chance to show tangible results.The president touted, "NO INFLATION!!! LOVE, DJT" in a social media post Monday morning."President Trump has argued that his agenda requires time for an adjustment and deal making. Hell be given a period of time to execute deals to prove that his plans are working and the first major trade deal with a nation like the UK is at least a sign that some of the work has been going on behind the scenes thus and is starting to bear fruit," Williams said last week, following the announcement of the deal with the United Kingdom.Williams added that the president will "have to back it up with more, but it is a positive first step for him in securing other deals."

    'I don't love it': Trump's $1,000 self-deportation plan draws mixed reaction from House GOP
    A proposal to give illegal immigrants $1,000 to self-deport is drawing a somewhat mixed reaction from Republicans in the House of Representatives.No GOP lawmakers opposed the idea, but some had questions about its feasibility. Others, however, emphatically backed the proposal as a cost-effective and humane way to achieve the Trump administration's deportation goals."Its a smart, compassionate, and cost-effective way to tackle immigration issues," Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital. "Instead of costly detentions and deportations, this plan offers financial help and safe travel for people to return home. Its a win-win, fair to those involved and saves American taxpayers millions."Meanwhile, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., conceded it "will help get the [deportation] numbers up" but argued it would likely largely affect people who wanted to leave the country anyway.SCOOP: REPUBLICANS DISCUSS DEFUNDING 'BIG ABORTION' LIKE PLANNED PARENTHOOD IN TRUMP AGENDA BILL"Were not gonna lose any gangbangers like that or any criminals, I think people that are trying to figure out a way to get back," Burchett said.He added as another point, "Where will the money come from? Again, any money we spend now were just borrowing, so thats a concern."President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said earlier this week that it would soon begin giving $1,000 stipends and travel aid to illegal immigrants who self-deport.DHS said it was far cheaper than the cost of arresting someone and detaining them while their deportations are processed an average cost of $17,000 according to the department."I think it is pathetic that were in a position where we have to pay for people and pay for their flights and remove them and then give them money," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital."But at the end of the day, everything is a calculation, at this point, on how you remove people and get sanity in our system. So Im going to give the administration a lot of deference on that."Roy summarized his sentiments: "I dont love it, but I also dont love the situation were in."Reps. Mike Flood, R-Neb., and Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., both noted the argument of cost-effectiveness."I mean, the message it sends to me is hes looking at every option to reduce and deport, to deport people that are here illegally, and my sense is they feel this can work, and it may be a lot cheaper in the long run if we can make it happen," Flood said.Clyde told Fox News Digital, "If it costs less to send them home that way, I think thats a very creative option for the president."BROWN UNIVERSITY IN GOP CROSSHAIRS AFTER STUDENT'S DOGE-LIKE EMAIL KICKS OFF FRENZY"I think what well probably find is it costs us a whole lot more than $1,000 to go arrest them, put them in detention, and then physically deport them," Clyde said.But others, like Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., just wantedto know that studies were being done on the plans potency."Do we have any studies on the efficiency?" he posed. "Also, how do you stop any type of scamming of the system come across, go back, come across? It should be done by the math."Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and DHS for comment.

    House GOP unveils Medicaid work requirements in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
    House Republicans released a sweeping plan late on Sunday to curb who gets Medicaid coverage and roll back former President Joe Bidens electric vehicle (EV) mandate, among other measures.The Energy & Commerce Committee, which has broad jurisdiction, including over federal health programs, telecommunications and energy, was tasked with finding at least $880 billion in spending cuts to pay for other priorities in President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill."Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., told House Republicans on a lawmaker-only call on Sunday night that the panel had found "north of $900 billion" in savings, however a significant victory for House GOP leaders who weathered attacks from Democrats about significant cuts to welfare programs like Medicaid.However, Republicans largely avoided the deep cuts to Medicaid that were sought by some fiscal hawks in the House GOP Conference, a win for moderate Republicans who were more politically vulnerable to Democratic attacks over the issue.ANTI-ABORTION PROVIDER MEASURE IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' COULD SPARK HOUSE GOP REBELLIONThe legislation would put a new 80-hour-per-month work requirement on certain able-bodied adults receiving Medicaid, aged 19 through 64.It would also put guardrails on states spending funds on their expanded Medicaid populations. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) allowed states to expand Medicaid coverage to adults who make up to 138% of the poverty level.More specifically, states that provide Medicaid coverage to illegal immigrants could see their federal Medicaid reimbursement dollars diminished, putting more of that cost on the state itself.The bill would also require states with expanded Medicaid populations to perform eligibility checks every six months to ensure the system is not being abused.HOUSE REPUBLICANS RELEASE TAX PLAN FOR TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'Guthrie told House Republicans on a Sunday night call that the legislation was "ending" the former Biden administrations EV mandate. He said $105 billion in savings could be found in ending the mandate to have EVs account for two-thirds of all new car sales by 2032.Other savings are found in rescinding unspent funds in a variety of Biden green energy tax programs established via the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).It is not a full repeal of the IRA, however, as some conservatives had been pushing Republicans to do.That had been another point of contention ahead of the bills release, with GOP lawmakers who have businesses in their districts that have benefited from the green energy subsidies pushing back on significant cuts.On the other end of the energy divide, the bill would also boost Trumps non-green energy goals by establishing a fast-tracked natural gas permitting route. The permit applicant would be required to pay $10 million or 1% of the projects cost to be on the expedited track.There is also a victory for social conservatives in a measure that would make certain large abortion providers ineligible for Medicaid funding. That measure was pushed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., himself, and was backed by anti-abortion groups like Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.However, it could run into opposition from moderate Republicans Rep.
