FIRST ON FOX: From courtroom drama to curbside calm.Fresh off her gripping murder acquittal, Karen Read was spotted easing back into everyday life on Friday, hauling trash like any regular American.In the first images of Read since her second trial, Fox News Digital exclusively captured the 45-year-old wheeling a garbage bin outside her Boston hotel.Dressed in a white short-sleeve top, black leggings and flat black shoes, Read was seen plucking boxes from the bin and tossing them into a large dumpster.BOSTON COP WOULD HAVE 'TAKEN A BULLET' FOR KAREN READ'S OFFICER BOYFRIEND FOUND DEAD ON HIS PROPERTYWith her hair loose and blowing in the wind, Read showed little emotion as she carried out the mundane chore and then returned to the hotel carrying her cell phone in her right hand.It came just two days after she was acquitted in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, 46.Jurors found Read not guilty of second-degree murder, the top charge, but guilty of a lesser offense of operating a vehicle under the influence with a blood-alcohol level of .08% or greater.The trial saw more than 30 days of testimony and four days of deliberation. Read was also found not guilty of drunken driving manslaughter and fleeing the scene of a deadly accident. Her first trial on the same charges ended without a verdict last year when jurors deadlocked.SECOND KAREN READ JUROR FAULTS 'SLOPPY POLICE INVESTIGATION' IN JOHN O'KEEFE MURDER CASECheers from her supporters, who had been waiting for an update across the street from the courthouse, could be heard inside the courtroom.For Read's second trial, the commonwealth appointed a special prosecutor, high-powered defense attorney Hank Brennan, and Read added New York defense attorney Robert Alessi to a team that included Los Angeles' Alan Jackson and Boston's David Yannetti.OKeefes body was discovered face-up in the snow outside the Canton, Massachusetts, home of Brian Albert, a fellow officer, on Jan. 29, 2022.PHOTOS: Swipe to see more imagesHis body was bruised and unresponsive with head trauma and signs of hypothermia.The defense argued OKeefe was attacked inside the house, and his death was potentially covered up by law enforcement people inside the party.The prosecution argued that Read intentionally or recklessly struck OKeefe with her SUV and left him for dead outside in a snowstorm and then tried to cover it up.Jack Lu, a retired Massachusetts judge and Boston College law professor, called the outcome "a stunning victory for the defense" that he said would also help Read in a civil lawsuit against her from O'Keefe's family.The investigation of Read's case led to investigations into the investigators, an audit of the Canton Police Department and the firing of a state police homicide detective.Fox News Michael Ruiz andJulia Bonavitacontributed to this report.

Comedian Trae Crowder sat down with Fox News Digital last week to discuss how his upbringing in rural Tennessee helped shape him into the self-proclaimed "liberal redneck" he is today and what the Democratic Party could do to get working-class southerners back on their side.Crowder grew up in the small rural town of Celina, Tennessee, where he was raised by his father, who ran a local video store and piqued his interest in all things "show business" with his artsy taste in music and films.His mother, on the other hand, was "in and out of jail" and fell victim to the opioid epidemic a tragically common occurrence in Crowder's hometown after prescription drugs flooded the area and businesses shuttered left and right."She got hooked on pills, started selling them, she was an addict and then a convict and all this stuff and the factory closed. All my family's businesses closed, and this happened to everybody," the comedian detailed.CARVILLE SAYS DEMS 'BETRAYED' WORKING-CLASS VOTERS BY NOT INCLUDING THEM IN 'TOO-COOL-FOR-SCHOOL' COALITIONPrior to the opioid epidemic, former President Bill Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) into law, which Crowder said led to the economic devastation of the rural manufacturing town.For the decades leading up to the 90's, the "beating heart" of the future comedian's hometown economy was an Oshkosh B'Gosh factory that employed many of the town's residents."You either worked at the factory, you worked at these other little businesses that sort of served the people that worked at that factory, like my dad's video store, my grandma had a restaurant, my uncle had a deli, my grandpa had like a car lot and a garage, all this stuff," said Crowder.Once NAFTA went into effect, this all changed. The Oshkosh B'Gosh factory shut its doors and all the businesses that supported the workers at the factory, including the comedian's family's businesses, followed suit as the town's economy cratered."To this day in my hometown, it's just been economic devastation. And that's not the only thing that happened," he foreshadowed.SHERYL CROW 'STRUGGLES' LIVING IN RED STATE TENNESSEE, CALLS HER CONGRESS MEMBERS 'EVERY SINGLE MORNING'"I always say that another very important thing happened at the exact same time. The jobs left forever, and the pills showed up for good at the exact same time. That's right when you know Big Pharma was like, Hey, guess what we got? You heard of Oxycontin? Pretty sweet, huh? And that happened at the same time, and it was just that combination of those things that just ruined my hometown," Crowder told Fox News Digital.This is when, according to Crowder, his father swore he would never vote for another Democrat for as long as he lived.Over 20 years later, a New York City real-estate mogul came onto the political scene and seemingly spoke directly to the hardships Crowder's hometown had been facing for over two decades."In 2016, all these years later, Donald Trump starts showing up, and it's like I never believed him from the beginning that anything would really materially change, but he was like talking about the only person even pretending to care about people in my hometown," Crowder recalled.Although the comedian didn't buy into what future President Donald Trump was selling at the time, the real-estate mogul's message resonated deeply with many in his hometown who had felt left behind by previous administrations.90S COMEDY ICON JAMIE KENNEDY SAYS SOCIAL MEDIA, PODCASTS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE FOR AUTHENTIC COMEDY"Now, if you ask me, in my opinion, because at the time was saying that, I was like, 'Look, I don't believe him. I think it's all bull----.' But like, I get why there's an appeal there," he noted. "I understand where you're coming from, people in my hometown, but all these years later, you go to my hometown it's, if anything, it's worse."Crowder questioned why so many Southerners are still loyal to Trump, despite his view that many rural southern towns like his hometown have only gotten worse under his watch.When asked by Fox News Digital what Democrats could be doing to win back rural southerners, Crowder noted that may be a far-gone aspiration."I don't want to say that ship has sailed, but like, it's just so deep-seated, the sense of like, betrayal, but also elitism," he said.TIM DILLON PUSHES BACK ON CNN REPORTER ASKING IF HE'S PART OF 'NEW ESTABLISHMENT' THAT IMPACTED 2024 RACECrowder pointed out that many Southern Democrats, like his father, had felt betrayed by the Democratic Party following NAFTA and despised the party's perceived elitism towards them."They just think Democrats think they're better than everybody else. They look down on us. It goes even beyond that now over the past few years, like QAnon and everything where it's not just that, but also they drink baby's blood or whatever. The PR is horrible," he observed.The comedian called Democrats losing their status as the party of the working class "the biggest mistake they've ever made" and asserted that he's unsure if they can ever get it back."They can try, but like I said, it'll take years to undo the damage that's been done, I think. But they need to try to speak more to just like regular people's issues and problems and working-class stuff, I think, than they do. Some of them do, but broadly, they don't," he claimed.Crowder's newest comedy special "Trash Daddy" premiered on March 13 and is currently streaming on YouTube.

This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).After the FBI launched an investigation into a sophisticated criminal network targeting kids and teens online known as "764," a former FBI agent is providing parents with practical tips to keep their children safe.Dr. Stephen Boyce, CEO and president of the Cyber Doctor and former forensic analyst with the FBI, explained to Fox News Digital that the group originated around 2021 and has grown into a global threat."The 764 Group is a decentralized network of neo-Nazi, satanic ideology and is tied to a group called the Order of Nine Angels," said Boyce.What sets this group apart is its fragmented yet coordinated structure, with members spreading their influence across popular social media and gaming platforms.FBI TARGETS 250 SUSPECTS IN '764' NETWORK OF ONLINE PREDATORS MANIPULATING KIDS INTO VIOLENT, EXPLICIT VIDEOSInitially traced back to a U.S.-based founder who was later sentenced to 80 years in prison, the group has since expanded its reach. The FBI recently shared that it is investigating at least 250 incidents tied to the group."The FBI is investigating at least 250 subjects who are tied to violent online networks commonly referred to as '764 but includes many offshoot networks and names," the FBI told Fox News in a statement on Tuesday evening. "All 55 FBI field offices across the country are involved in these investigations."The predators are known for targeting minors on social media and using coercion to get them to film themselves committing violent or sexual acts, and then using those videos to extort minors for increasing violent or sexual videos that are then shared with "764" followers online.Boyce warned that "the common one that certainly hits all the headlines is Roblox as well as Discord", noting that while these platforms are not inherently malicious, their communication features have been exploited by predators.Mainstream apps that many young adults use, like TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram and X, are not immune to misuse, he said."I think anything where you have the ability to communicate with someone else warrants parents being aware of who their kids are interacting with," he said.Boyce said an equally concerning factor is the group's use of psychological tactics to entrap victims. "One of the most common tactics is love bombing and getting into these fake online relationships," said Boyce.The manipulation can lead to minors sending compromising content or performing disturbing acts."There is quite a bit of that sextortion, as well as various different things and the use of encoded language," Boyce explained, pointing to the use of communicating through memes and coded language.The groups endgame can be especially tragic. In some cases, the 764 network pushes its victims toward livestreamed self-harm and even suicide. "They do promote self-harm," he said. "Children have been asked to self-harm and write their name in their own blood."These acts are often used as rites of passage within the group, further binding victims into its toxic culture, he explained.SOUND OF FREEDOM PRODUCER SAYS AI TOOLS HELPED NAB CHILD TRAFFICKER THAT ELUDED FBI FOR 10 YEARSYaron Litwin, the CMO at Canopy Parental Control App, told Fox News Digital that limiting screen time "isn't enough.""It isn't enough to put screen time limits in place. It isn't enough to install parental controls. Moms and dads need to be proactive and maintain an open line of dialogue with their kids on online safety topics, and should do their best to enact and enforce household rules, which will at least somewhat neutralize real threats like 764," he said.Knowing what apps children are using, who they are communicating with, and monitoring any shifts in behavior can be lifesaving. Parents should keep an eye out for secrecy around online activities, sudden romantic entanglements, unusual meme usage, animal cruelty and any signs of self-harm."For instance, newfound displays of irritability, growing secrecy about their device use and suddenly appearing to be socially withdrawn can all be signs of growing exposure to 764 or other dangerous or harmful online groups," he said. "A sudden loss of interest in their offline lives and constantly seeking privacy can also be suspicious signs."If your kid is experiencing signs like these, react with caution and care not panic."Fox News Digital's Audrey Conklin contributed to this report.

I take it seriously. I'm a public school guy. I was often at the wrong end of the bell curve. There was too much math, and there was not enough history.

Every day, the news brings fresh reminders of just how divided we are. Violent protests. Political attacks. Horrific headlines, like the murders and attempted murders of lawmakers in Minnesota. Each incident is immediately seized upon as proof of how far gone the other side is evidence of either creeping authoritarianism or runaway anarchy.But the greater danger may not be in whats happening as horrific as it is but in how were choosing to see it. We no longer interpret events through a shared lens of concern or accountability. Instead, we reflexively use them to confirm the worst beliefs we hold about one another.Are the protests in Los Angeles a sign of civic unrest or extremist violence? Is President Donald Trump offering law-and-order assistance in California or is he flexing authoritarian muscle? The answers depend on your politics. But more importantly, they depend on your assumptions.MSNBC ANCHOR ASKS PANEL IF POLITICAL VIOLENCE IS A RESULT OF THE 'WILL OF THE PEOPLE' BEING IGNORED OR JUST PART OF LIFEAnd right now, were assuming the worst. Of each other. Of everything.In my work as a communications strategist and persuasion expert, I spend much of my time helping leaders connect across deep divides. One of the core principles I teach is something I call active empathy the practice of not just hearing someones beliefs, but truly trying to understand why they hold them. What are they afraid of? What are they protecting? What do they value?Its something I believe we desperately need more of in our public discourse.ANTI-ICE RIOTS REVEAL THE LEFT HAS LEARNED NOTHING. IT'S JUST HANDED TRUMP A GIFTRight now, were not practicing empathy. Were practicing judgment and its exhausting us. Were walking on eggshells with friends and family. Were fearful of speaking up. Were watching relationships deteriorate over headlines and hashtags. And were losing the ability to see those we disagree with as anything other than threats.Author Bren Brown offers a provocative idea: "All I know is that my life is better when I assume that people are doing their best. It keeps me out of judgment and lets me focus on what is, and not what should or could be." Imagine what would happen if we applied that idea not just in our personal lives, but to our politics.What if we assumed most Trump voters arent fascists or racists but people who want safety, prosperity and opportunity?What if we assumed most protesters arent rioters but citizens fighting to be seen and heard?HOUSE DEMS TRY TO BLAME TRUMP FOR LOS ANGELES VIOLENCE DESPITE MONTHS OF ANTI-ICE RHETORICWhat if we assumed that disagreement doesnt mean malice and that we could hold different truths without dehumanizing one another?Im not suggesting we stop holding people accountable. Or that we should abandon our convictions. Im asking for something more challenging: to extend a little grace. To resist the instinct to flatten others into caricatures. To listen before we judge.To my friends on the left: not everything Republicans say is an attack on democracy. Many of them are trying to protect what they see as core American values freedom, family, faith. That doesnt make them dangerous. It makes them human.To my friends on the right: not every protest is unlawful. Not every concern about racism or inequality is exaggerated. Many of the people raising those issues have lived through systemic injustices you might not have seen but theyre real.NEW DEMS READY TO MOVE PARTY AND COUNTRY BEYOND TRUMP CHAOSNone of us is helped when we see the other side as irredeemable. In fact, thats what makes the divide wider. What if we stopped looking for enemies and started looking for common ground?CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONWe are living in a time when fear is louder than trust, and cynicism is more popular than hope. But I believe we can change that if we start by changing our posture.Ask yourself: Why do they feel the way they feel? Why do they believe what they believe? Not to agree but to understand. You may not change your mind. You may not want to. But you might stop being so afraid of one another. You might stop feeling so judged. You might even stop losing friendships over political differences.We are in danger of forgetting that people are not the worst thing theyve ever said or believed. That identity is not destiny. That disagreement does not mean destruction.If we want to live in a less angry, less divided, less fearful country, we have to start assuming the best in each other again or at the very least, stop assuming the worst.Because when we do, we can finally stop yelling. Start listening. And maybe, just maybe, begin to heal.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM LEE HARTLEY CARTER

Cyberattacks on financial service providers are no longer isolated events. In recent years, tax preparation companies, accounting software vendors and data brokers have all found themselves in the crosshairs of increasingly aggressive ransomware gangs. These attacks dont just disrupt operations but also expose deeply personal financial information that can fuel identity theft, fraud and long-term reputational damage.Now, Optima Tax Relief, one of the most prominent tax resolution firms in the U.S., has joined that growing list. A ransomware group called Chaos claims to have breached Optimas systems, stealing 69 GB of data before encrypting internal servers.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join.The data stolen in the attack includes what appears to be corporate documents and sensitive customer case files. Tax documents are especially valuable to cybercriminals. They often contain Social Security numbers, home addresses, phone numbers and other identifiers that can be used to commit financial fraud or impersonation.Sources familiar with the incident toldBleepingComputer this was a double-extortion attack. That means Chaos not only stole the data but also encrypted Optimas systems, presumably demanding a ransom in exchange for access and non-disclosure. The firm has not yet commented publicly on whether it plans to pay the ransom or notify affected individuals.TESLA DOXXING ATTACKS WRONGLY TARGET NONOWNERS ACROSS AMERICAThe attackers listed Optima on their leak site earlier this week. While the full dataset has not been published, the leak already raises concerns over regulatory compliance and consumer protection, especially given the sensitive nature of the firms work.Optima Tax Relief has not released an official statement regarding the breach. There has been no confirmation about whether law enforcement or federal agencies are involved in the investigation. If youve ever used its services, assume your data could be at risk.We reached out to Optima Tax Relief for a comment but did not hear back before our deadline.DOUBLECLICKJACKING HACK TURNS DOUBLE-CLICKS INTO ACCOUNT TAKEOVERSChaos ransomware first emerged in March 2025, when it claimed responsibility for five separate breaches. The group is not connected to the "Chaos ransomware builder," a DIY toolkit thats been in circulation since 2021. Instead, this version of Chaos is believed to be run by a coordinated team that is strategically targeting organizations with access to large amounts of personally identifiable information.Optima is not the only high-profile victim. In May, Chaos claimed to have breached the Salvation Army, though the organization has not publicly confirmed the attack or responded to media inquiries.MALWARE EXPOSES 3.9 BILLION PASSWORDS IN HUGE CYBERSECURITY THREATIf your information was part of the Optima breach or any similar one, its worth taking a few steps to protect yourself.1. Consider identity theft protection services: Since the Optima data breach exposed personal and financial information, its crucial to stay proactive against identity theft. Identity theft protection services offer continuous monitoring of your credit reports, Social Security number and even the dark web to detect if your information is being misused.See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft.2. Monitor your accounts and transactions:The Optima data breach might have revealed bank details to attackers, which means they can misuse those details to steal your money. You should check your online accounts and transactions regularly for any suspicious or unauthorized activity. If you notice anything unusual, immediately report it to the service provider or authorities. You should also review your credit reports and scores to see if there are any signs of identity theft or fraud. To report identity theft, visit the FTCsIdentityTheft.gov.3. Contact your bank and credit card companies:Since Optima hackers might have obtained bank and credit card information, they could use it to make purchases or withdrawals without your consent. You should inform your bank and credit card companies of the situation. They can help you freeze or cancel your cards, dispute any fraudulent charges and issue new cards for you. You should also contact one of the three major credit reporting agencies Equifax, Experian or TransUnion and request a fraud alert to be placed on your credit file.

Have strong antivirus software:Optima hackers most likely have peoples email addresses and full names, which makes it easy for them to send you a phishing link that installs malware and steals all your data. These messages are socially engineered to catch them, and catching them is nearly impossible if youre not careful. However, youre not without defenses.The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links is to have antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe.Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.6. Enable two-factor authentication:While passwords werent part of the data breach, you still need to enabletwo-factor authentication (2FA). It gives you an extra layer of security on all your important accounts, including email, banking and social media. Two-factor authentication requires you to provide a second piece of information, such as a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password when logging in. This makes it significantly harder for hackers to access your accounts, even if they have your password. Enabling 2FA can greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access and protect your sensitive data.The Optima breach is not an isolated event, but part of a larger failure to adapt to the sophistication of modern ransomware groups. When companies with access to tax and identity data are compromised, its not just an internal issue; it becomes a national one. For an industry built on trust, breaches like this erode public confidence in systems that are already strained. Attacks like these raise fresh concerns about the cybersecurity preparedness of companies that handle tax and financial data. Unlike login credentials or email addresses, stolen tax information cannot be easily reset. For victims, the consequences of such a breach could stretch across years.Do you think finance companies are investing enough in their cybersecurity infrastructure?

As President Donald Trump weighs whether he will target Iranian nuclear facilities amid escalating Israel-Iran conflict, the presidents U.S. Air Force E-4B Nightwatch, also known as the "doomsday plane," is now attracting attention, having reportedly landed at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington, D.C., earlier this week, according to the New York Post and other media.In response to inquiries about the alleged Nightwatch landing, officials from Joint Base Andrews told Fox News Digital that "as a matter of operational security, we cannot comment on specific location or purpose of the [National Airborne Operations Center] or other aircraft on our flightline." Other reports say the plane is no longer in the Washington area and is back at its home base.IRAN WARNS US JOINING CONFLICT WOULD MEAN ALL-OUT WAR, REFUSES DEMANDS TO GIVE UP DISPUTED NUCLEAR PROGRAMHeres what to know about the E-4B Nightwatch:The E-4B is a Boeing 747-200 that has been militarized and is operated by the U.S. Air Force.

Theresa Payton, former White House chief information officer and CEO of the cybersecurity firm Fortalice Solutions, told Fox News Digital that the Islamic Regime may prepare a high-impact cyberattack on the U.S. "as it becomes more and more desperate."The president is said to be deciding whether to use the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber to deliver a series of 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrators, also known as "bunker busters," to destroy Irans well-fortified Fordow nuclear facility, which may lie further than 300 feet below mountainous rock.While Israel targeted facilities associated with the Iranian military and Irans nuclear program, on June 19, Iran struck Soroka Hospital, the largest hospital in southern Israel, with a ballistic missile, causing damage.

JERUSALEMThe family members of Israeli hostages held in captivity by the U.S.-designated terrorist movement Hamas published an open letter on Thursday to President Trump, urging him to intervene to help free the 53 remaining people held in Gaza."As Iranian missiles streak across the sky above us, our hearts remain consumed by thoughts of our beloved family members enduring brutal Hamas captivity. 53 precious soulsour children, parents, siblings, and spousesremain trapped in hell."For over 620 endless days, they have had no shelter, no family's embrace, no whispered words of comfort.
