    Final day of SCOTUS decisions brings wave of history-making rulings
    The Supreme Court had a banner day on Friday, the last decision day of the high courts term, involving the justices reining in judicial power and serving up a victory for parents in the ongoing culture wars.The high court's more controversial decisions were split along ideological lines. Liberal justices sometimes dissented with bitter rebukes, while the Trump administration celebrated what it viewed as landmark wins.In the most high-profile case of the day, the Supreme Court ended the practice of judges issuing sweeping injunctions that cover the whole country and not just parties involved in a case.SCOTUS RULES ON TRUMP'S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDER, TESTING LOWER COURT POWERSThe injunctions, often known as "nationwide injunctions," have been a source of frustration for President Donald Trump as judges side with plaintiffs and block key parts of the president's agenda.The case arose from several judges issuing injunctions that blocked Trump from carrying out his birthright citizenship plan. Rather than ask the Supreme Court to weigh in on the merits of the plan, which has been uniformly rejected in courts, Trump asked the high court to put a stop to the injunction practice.The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision left open the possibility that judges and plaintiffs could use other avenues, such as class action lawsuits, to seek broad relief now that the high court has curtailed nationwide injunctions.The Supreme Court decided 6-3 in Mahmoud v. Taylor that parents can opt their children out of a Maryland public school system's lessons when they contain themes about homosexuality and transgenderism if they feel the content conflicts with their religious beliefs.Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, said the government "burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires them to submit their children to instruction that poses a very real threat of undermining the religious beliefs and practices that the parents wish to instill."SUPREME COURT DECIDES WHETHER TO SHIELD PARENTS FROM LGBTQ BOOKSThe Trump administration celebrated the ruling as a victory for "parental rights," while Justice Sonia Sotomayor said in a scathing dissent that the high court's decision would open floodgates for students to opt out of a wider range of lessons.The Supreme Court allowed Texas to require age verification for users of pornographic websites, dealing a win to those aiming to block children from accessing explicit material online.A trade association for the porn industry brought the lawsuit, alleging the age requirement meant the state was unconstitutionally regulating free speech on the internet."This is a major victory for children, parents, and the ability of states to protect minors from the damaging effects of online pornography," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. "Companies have no right to expose children to pornography and must institute reasonable age verification measures."The Supreme Court punted its case about Louisiana's congressional maps, indicating it needed a few more questions answered during oral arguments in the fall.The delay means that Louisiana's map of voting districts, including majority-Black districts, would not see any changes until the 2028 election cycle or later.The Supreme Court is now set to wind down in anticipation of its summer recess, though it is still expected to hand down some straggling decisions before its next term begins in October.

    Trumps NATO Turnaround: From threatening to pull US out to 'daddy' of the alliance
    President Donald Trump delivered a resounding endorsement of NATO this week, marking a sharp turnaround in his years-long, often contentious relationship with the alliance.Once known for blasting allies over defense spending and even threatening to pull out of NATO altogether, Trump now appears to have had a change of heart."I left here differently. I left here saying that these people really love their countries," Trump said after the 2025 NATO summit in The Hague.The pivot comes as NATO nations more than doubled their collective defense spending target raising the bar from 2% to 5% of GDP.WORLD LEADERS FLOCK TO MEET WITH TRUMP AT NATO SUMMITThe presidents renewed embrace of the alliance follows years of friction, high-profile clashes with world leaders and controversial comments. Yet at this years summit, the tone was strikingly different.Trump was welcomed by Dutch royals, praised by the NATO secretary-general who even referred to him as "daddy" and returned home lauding European allies for their patriotism. "Its not a rip-off, and were here to help them," Trump told reporters.The transformation is as dramatic as it is unexpected.Trump arrived at the NATO summit on a high note, following U.S. strikes that crippled Irans nuclear infrastructure. According to American and allied intelligence sources, the operation set back Tehrans nuclear ambitions by several years.The strike was widely seen as both a show of strength and a strategic warning not just to Iran but to NATO adversaries like Russia and China.WORLD LEADERS FLOCK TO MEET WITH TRUMP AT NATO SUMMIT"He really came in from this power move," said Giedrimas Jeglinskas, a former NATO official and current chairman of Lithuanias national security committee."Among some, definitely Eastern Europe, Central Europe, Nordic Europe, this attack, the use of those really sophisticated weapons and bombers, was the rebuilding of the deterrence narrative of the West, not just of America."Trump repeatedly called NATO "obsolete," questioning its relevance and slamming allies for failing to pay their "fair share.""Its costing us too much money... Were paying disproportionately. Its too much," he said in March 2016.He criticized NATO for lacking focus on terrorism, later taking credit when it created a chief intelligence post.Trump softened his tone after becoming president."We strongly support NATO," he said after visiting Central Command. "We only ask that all members make their full and proper financial contribution."He continued to push for members to meet the 2% target by 2024.Trump privately threatened to pull the U.S. from NATO unless allies increased spending."Now we are in World War III protecting a country that wasnt paying its bills," he warned.Despite the posturing, he called NATO a "fine-tuned machine" after extracting new spending commitments. He also accused Germany of being a "captive of Russia" over the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.TRUMP HEADS TO NATO SUMMIT AS EUROPE AGREES TO HEED HIS DEFENSE SPENDING DEMANDSThe drama continued, this time with French President Emmanuel Macron calling NATO "brain-dead.""NATO serves a great purpose. I think thats very insulting," Trump responded.He also clashed with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calling him "two-faced" after Trudeau was caught mocking Trump on camera.Trump ordered 12,000 U.S. troops out of Germany, citing Berlins defense shortfalls.Trump ignited backlash after suggesting hed let Russia "do whatever the hell they want" to NATO countries that failed to meet spending obligations.The remark sparked urgent contingency talks among European leaders about the future of the alliance if the U.S. did not step up to its defense.The 2025 summit in The Hague unfolded with surprising calm. Trumps hosts rolled out the red carpet. "He's the man of the hour and the most important man in the world," Jeglinskas said.Jeglinskas credited Trumps blunt diplomacy however unorthodox for helping drive real reform "He's brought in tectonic change to the alliances capabilities by... being himself," he added. "Its a gift for the alliance."Experts agree NATOs recent revitalization stems from two major catalysts: Russias 2022 invasion of Ukraine and Trumps relentless pressure on allies to boost defense."President Trump is riding high this week with two major foreign policy victories," said Matthew Kroenig, vice president at the Atlantic Councils Scowcroft Center, referencing NATO and the recent U.S. strikes on Irans nuclear program. "Its terrific. I hope he can keep it up."He added, "Every president since Eisenhower has complained that NATO allies aren't doing their fair share."Now, Trump was the one who finally got them to listen, he said.

    Jana Kramer has taken jobs that challenged her 'moral compass' to pay for child support
    Jana Kramer has some regrets about her career choices, but as the sole provider for her children, the country star says she's done what she needed to do to take care of them."I mean there's definitely some things, some ads that I'm like, Oh, I wish I could have gone back and maybe not done that ad, but you know, you learn and you go back and you go, All right, I'm not gonna do that one again, you know? So sometimes when you gotta pay that child support check, it's just like, Well, this is a good check money. I'm gonna take this," the country star told Fox News Digital during a joint interview with Jessie James Decker about their first song collaboration, "Do It in Heels."After Decker asked Kramer if she was talking about the "vibrator" commercial, they both cracked up and Decker told her, "Its OK, honestly it is what it is."Kramer continued, laughing, "I'm not gonna do it again, like you know what I mean? Like I'm like, OK, I'm good now, like, you know? Like we're good, we're leveling up to a different [place], you know?"JANA KRAMER REGRETS GETTING PLASTIC SURGERY TO PREVENT EX-HUSBAND FROM CHEATINGShe elaborated that she has to pay child support checks to ex-husband Mike Caussin, and "I am a sole provider, where I have a lot of pressure on my shoulders to provide for my kids. And so I think that piece of it sometimes outweighs my moral compass."Kramer has primary custody of her two children with Caussin: Jolie, 9, and Jace, 6. She also shares son Roman, 1, with her current husband, Allan Russell."There's nothing wrong with it. You're good," Decker interjected, before Kramer added, "We could be on OnlyFans, but we're not, right? So, you know what I mean? There's a level where I don't want to go to."Kramer and Deckers new single "Do It in Heels" will release on Friday, and the "One Tree Hill" actress told Fox News Digital that when she started writing it two years ago, she wanted to do a "girl anthem" that was "up-tempo" and "fun."JANA KRAMER AVOIDS NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS, PREFERS THIS TECHNIQUE FOR SELF IMPROVEMENT"I'm so sick and tired of the like, He hurt me, he cheated on me,' like I'm over that era of my life and like I wanna just, I want fun and so like I want to write just a girl anthem."She said while she was writing the song, she knew she wanted another woman to collaborate on it."And the only person I had in mind the entire time was Jessie, because I'm like, she's such a girl's girl," Kramer said. "Weve been friends for years."Kramer said she knew Decker "would sound killer on this song, but it was one of those things where it's like, because we're friends, I almost didn't I'm like, I don't know if she would want to do that. It's like she's, you know, like what if she doesn't like the song? And then it's like that weird, awkward thing because we are friends, you know?"She continued, "Like if she hates it, and it's like, how does she let me down easy? And so, 'cause I'm still, you know, semi-insecure with my music and stuff."But she said she just decided to ask Decker anyway, "And girl, you were like, I love it. Let's do it. I'm, like, Wait, really?'"CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERDecker said, "I was like, I'm down. Let's do it. It was great, it was catchy. I loved everything about it, and I related to it. And I was, like, I would love to do this with you."Kramer said when she and Decker first became friends years ago, it felt like the industry wanted them to have a "rivalry.""I instantly loved you," Decker said. "I remember not knowing if you liked me in the beginning."Kramer agreed that theres a lot of competition between female country stars "in general,"and they both thought the other was more beautiful and talented, which she said led to a "rival friendliness."Finally, they met up at a party, and Kramer asked her: "Do you not like me? And you're like, No, I like you. I was, Well, I like you, too.""And that was it," they both agreed, adding that it felt like people around them had tried to promote a rivalry.JESSIE JAMES DECKER LOVES HER BODY MORE AFTER 4 KIDS AT 36 THAN SHE DID AT 23"Once we met and talked, it was like Did we just become best friends?" Decker said.Decker said one of her favorite things about Kramer is how much she "loves love, she is such a lovely girl.""What's happened to her has been very traumatic," Decker added of Kramer's ex-husbands infidelity. "And it shows you how strong of a person she is. She is so unbelievably strong, but it also shows you that she loves more than she wants to sit and be sad. She didn't give up. And because of that, she has found the man of her dreams. She is the happiest I have ever seen her."Kramer added that her past marriages and her current one have taught her what she's worth.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

    Credibility Crisis: Media scrutinized Trump's health, fitness in first term before turning blind eye on Biden
    The cover-up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline is one of the biggest political scandals in recent history, erupting just over a year ago following his disastrous debate performance on June 27, 2024. Questions mostly among conservative critics about Biden's mental acuity began as early as 2019 when he ran in the Democratic presidential primary, but it wasn't until his ill-fated debate against Donald Trump last year that his decline became undeniable. And in recent weeks, between revelations from tell-all books, the release of the Hur tapes and his Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, the scandal has only grown in scale.Yet during Trump's first term in office, the legacy media did not hesitate to opine on the president's health and fitness for office.SHIELDING BIDEN: JOURNALISTS SHED LIGHT ON THE MEDIA'S COVER-UP OF A WEAKENED PRESIDENTThe speculation about Trump's mental fitness began even before he was sworn into office. In November 2016, just days after Trump shocked the world with his election victory, The Atlantic's David Frum tweeted, "Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Article 4. Were all going to be talking a lot more about it in the months ahead."New York Times columnist Ross Douthat did just that in May 2017, penning a piece titled, "The 25th Amendment Solution for Removing Trump."CNN's Brian Stelter was an early media pioneer in questioning Trump's fitness. Following the violence in Charlottesville in August 2017, he claimed to viewers that chatter about the president's mental acuity filled newsrooms."President Trump's actions and inactions in the wake of Charlottesville are provoking some uncomfortable conversations, mostly off the air, if we're being honest," Stelter began a monologue. "In discussions among friends and family and debates on social media, people are questioning the president's fitness, but these conversations are happening in newsrooms and TV studios as well Questions like these: Is the president of the United States a racist? Is he suffering from some kind of illness? Is he fit for office? And if hes unfit, then what?"BIDEN BOOK AUTHORS PRESSED ON WHY THE MEDIA FAILED IN COVERING COGNITIVE DECLINE SCANDALThen-Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson similarly declared, "Its time to talk about Trumps mental health.""I have spoken with people who have known Trump for decades and who say he has changed. He exhibits less self-awareness, these longtime acquaintances say, and less capacity for sustained focus. Indeed, it is instructive to compare television interviews of Trump recorded years ago with those conducted now. To this laymans eyes and ears, there seems to have been deterioration," Robinson wrote.CREDIBILITY CRISIS: MEDIA EMBRACED BIDEN WHITE HOUSE CHEAP FAKES NARRATIVE LEADING UP TO ILL-FATED DEBATEAround the same time, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell theorized that Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner moved their family to Washington, D.C., after their father's inauguration because they were "worried about the old man.""The kids have been watching, especially in recent years, a decline in Donald Trumps executive function," O'Donnell told his liberal viewers. "What neurologists call executive function includes basic mental processes like attention control, cognitive inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility. A decline in executive function is the beginning of the process that eventually leads you to take the car keys away from Dad.""Having personally watched Donald Trump become increasingly incoherent over the last several years, my first assumption was the kids were going to Washington because they knew Dad is utterly incoherent much of the time, and forgetful, and inattentive."In November 2017, The Daily Beast was confident in diagnosing Trump with "narcissism" and "sociopathy," admitting its willingness to disregard the famed Goldwater Rule, the principle for psychiatrists to avoid diagnosing others without a proper examination and consent, writing that psychological experts told the outlet, "Trumps years of media outputbooks, television appearances, tweets, and moremade his case one that is jarringly different, and one in which the Goldwater Rule doesnt apply."CREDIBILITY CRISIS: PRESS DISMISSED HUR REPORT ON BIDEN'S MEMORY ISSUES LONG BEFORE CONCERNS BECAME UNDENIABLEUSA Today published an op-ed in May 2017 penned by psychologist John Gartner, who diagnosed Trump with "malignant narcissism," writing, "If you take President Trumps words literally, you have no choice but to conclude that he is psychotic.""Some say it is unethical to dare to diagnose the president, but hundreds of mental health professionalshave come together to found Duty to Warn," Gartner wrote, promoting his group. "We believe that just as we are ethically and legally obligated to break confidentiality to warn a potential victim of violence, our duty to warn the public trumps all other considerations.""More than 53,000 people havesigned our petition,aimed at mental health professionals,stating Trump should be removed under the 25th Amendment because he is too mentally ill to competently serve," Gartner continued.Time Magazine also posed the question, "Should Doctors Speculate About the Presidents Mental Health?""Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough urged Trump's cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment in November 2017 over his "erratic behavior" as the president engaged in a tit-for-tat with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un."If this is not what the 25th Amendment was drafted for- I would like the cabinet members serving America, not the president, serving America - You serve America and you know it!" Scarborough shouted. "You don't represent him! You represent 320 million people, whose lives are literally in your hands! The people close to him during the campaign told me had early stages of dementia.""Now, listen, you can get mad at me if you want to, but it is OK to say. When are we supposed to say this, after the first nuclear missile goes?" Scarborough continued, before calling Trump a "mentally unstable president."CNN's Jake Tapper jumped on the bandwagon, sounding the alarm over Trump's tweet taunting the dictator, saying his "nuclear button" is "bigger.""None of this is normal, none of this acceptable, none of this, frankly, stable behavior," Tapper said in January 2018.CREDIBILITY CRISIS: WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORT ON BIDEN SLIPPING WAS SMEARED BY MEDIADays later, then-White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson was peppered with questions by reporters following Trump's physical exam, many of them probing the president's cognitive ability."Can you assess the president's mental fitness for office?" NBC News correspondent Hallie Jackson asked."Are you ruling out early on-set Alzheimer's? Are you looking at dementia-like symptoms?" then-ABC News correspondent Cecilia Vega pressed Jackson."Is there anything you're keeping from us for privacy reasons?" then-CNN correspondent Jim Acosta asked.CREDIBILITY CRISIS: BIDEN'S LATE-NIGHT ALLIES GO QUIET AFTER DAMNING COGNITIVE DECLINE REVELATIONSFollowing that briefing, CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta openly declared that Trump had "heart disease" based on Trump's high coronary calcium score from data released by Jackson, even though Trump's own physician never made such a diagnosis."The president has heart disease. Those numbers qualify him for having heart disease, and he clearly needs a plan to try to prevent some sort of heart problem down the road," Gupta confidently told CNN viewers.Even before Trump's 2018 physical, Politico panned the White House for not giving him a cognitive exam, running the headline, "Is Trump mentally fit? Don't count on his physical to tell you.""If President Donald Trump were any other 71-year-old covered by Medicare and having his annual wellness visit hed be checked on his cognitive functions and possible safety risks. But when the president goes for his physical exam Friday, the White House said his mental fitness wont be tested. And theres no guarantee that the public would find out the results of cognitive tests if Trump were to take them," Politico wrote.In January 2018, the media hyped allegations about Trump's mental acuity from Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury," which alleged White House staffers spoke with each other about the president's fitness to serve. It was at that time that Trump famously referred to himself as a "very stable genius" while combating the claims."The tip toeing is over. The whispers are turning into shouts. President Trumps fitness for office is now the top story in the country," Stelter told "Reliable Sources" viewers. "Reporters and some lawmakers are openly talking about the presidents mental stability, his health, his competency.""Many Americans are worried. And journalists need to cover that," Stelter urged his media colleagues."Does it seem likely in any way that members of the GOP will take this seriously, will want to take a look at the president's mental fitness?" MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle asked.The Washington Post feasted on the Wolff news cycle with the headline, "The White House struggles to silence talk of Trumps mental fitness." CNN's website ran with "Trump defends his sanity amid questions about his mental state." CBS News similarly went with, "Trump defends mental fitness in wake of questions raised in new book."Frum of The Atlantic declared in April 2018 that Trump was "unfit to command" and linked his mental instability to national security."This president is not in command of himself," Frum wrote, later adding, "The person nominally in charge is in no psychic state for his office. His condition is deterioratingand with that personal deterioration, there also deteriorates Americas security and standing in the world."In September 2018, on the same day The New York Times published the infamous anonymous op-ed where the author declared they were "part of the resistance inside the Trump administration" (it was later revealed to be mid-level DHS staffer Miles Taylor), NPR published a report, "What You Need To Know About The 25th Amendment," citing "Another surreal twist in the midst of another frenetic week," prompting questions about the law.10 YEARS LATER: HOW THE MEDIA COVERED TRUMP'S ENTRY INTO THE 2016 RACE FOREVER CHANGING AMERICAN POLITICSLater that month, The New York Times published a bombshell story alleging then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein floated secretly recording Trump and discussed the 25th Amendment with others in the administration, something Rosenstein denied at the time.In February 2019, "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley of CBS News discussed what had allegedly transpired with the ousted Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who said he had such discussions with Rosenstein."As you're sitting in this meeting at the Justice Department talking about removing the president of the United States, you were thinking what?" Pelley asked."How did I get here, confronting these confounding legal issues of such immense importance, not just to the FBI but to the entire country. It was... It was disorienting," McCabe responded.In November 2019, the media erupted over Trump's unscheduled visit to Walter Reed Medical Center as the White House was obscure with its public statements. It was later revealed to have been for a routine colonoscopy."Trumps weekend hospital visit draws a skeptical reaction," wrote The Associated Press.Politico at the time declared that, "Yes, Its OK to Speculate on the Presidents Health.""Given the record of this White House, and the long history of presidential medical cover-ups, its almost a responsibility," then-Politico writer Jack Shafer wrote. "You dont have to think that Trump was lying about his Saturday Walter Reed visit to insist that his health should be a foundational issue in the 2020 campaign. Getting honest answers out of a politician about his or her health begins with asking the right questions. The right question to ask Trump is this: What explains your unusual visit to Walter Reed?"The media also went wild speculating over Trump's health in June 2020 following his appearance at West Point, where he went viral for cautiously walking down a ramp and drinking a glass of water with both hands as he was speaking.New York Times star reporter Maggie Haberman authored the story, "Trumps Halting Walk Down Ramp Raises New Health Questions," telling readers, "President Trump faced new questions about his health on Sunday, after videos emerged of him gingerly walking down a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and having trouble bringing a glass of water to his mouth during a speech there."Haberman even cast doubt on Trump's claim that the ramp was "steep" and "very slippery," writing he "offered a description that did not match the visuals" and there "was no evidence that the ramp was slippery, and the skies were clear during the ceremony.""The president has frequently tried to raise questions about the health and mental fitness of his rivals, while growing indignant when his own is questioned," Haberman wrote. "Most recently, he and his allies have questioned the mental acuity of the presumptive Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who is 77."CNN, MSNBC ERUPTED OVER TRUMP'S RAMP WALK BUT VIRTUALLY IGNORE BIDEN'S STAIRCASE STUMBLEThe Washington Post was equally skeptical of Trump with its headline, "Trump tries to explain his slow and unsteady walk down a ramp at West Point.""President Trump late Saturday tried to explain his slow and unsteady walk down a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, which had generated concern and mockery on social media, by claiming the walkway was very slippery and that he was worried about falling," wrote Philip Rucker, one of The Post's top political journalists at the time. "Elements of Trumps explanation strained credulity. Trumps claim that the ramp had been 'very slippery' was inconsistent with the weather, which on Saturday in West Point, N.Y., was sunny and clear-skied. The grass plain on which the commencement took place was dry."A separate Post report juxtaposed concerns about Trump's health with Biden's with the headline, "As Trump casts Biden as sleepy Joe, his critics raise questions about his own fitness.""For Trump, who has tried to cast his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, as sleepy and mentally absent, the attacks over his own wellness appeared to hit close to home," The Post wrote.Both The Times and The Post elevated mockery of Trump by liberal late-night hosts.CNN and MSNBC went wall-to-wall with coverage of Trump's cautious walk down the ramp."What's the matter with Donald Trump?" MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace asked a panelist with a slight grin."Americans have every reason to question his health. Walking down a ramp, holding a rail, probably no issue. Now you know how it feels, dont you? What goes around, comes around," then-CNN anchor Don Lemon taunted Trump.Tapper took a swipe at Trump for "spending about 14 minutes talking about West Point and defending his wobbly walk down that ramp," while recapping the president's remarks from a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.As Trump was being treated for COVID at Walter Reed Medical Center in October 2020, CBS News' Margaret Brennan pressed then-National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien on invoking the 25th Amendment during an exchange on "Face The Nation.""Have you and the team discussed a scenario in which at some point the president might have to transfer power if he can no longer discharge the powers and duties of his office?" Brennan asked."No, that's not something that's on the table at this point," O'Brien responded."But it may be as you just said," Brennan interjected before O'Brien touted Trump's recovery.Brennan wasn't alone. There was a flurry of reports speculating about the 25th Amendment being implemented during Trump's bout with COVID like ABC News' "What happens if Trump becomes incapacitated? The 25th Amendment could kick in," The Associated Press' "AP Explains: Transfer of power under 25th Amendment" and the liberal site Slate's, "The 25th Amendment Needs an Update."Media chatter over the 25th Amendment resurfaced months later following the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, less than three weeks before Biden was sworn into office. CNN, ABC News and CNBC all reported that members of Trump's cabinet were having discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment, though it was never ultimately pursued. Fast-forward to 2025. Trump was sworn back into office after defeating Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, all of which followed Biden's dramatic exit from the race last July.After turning a blind eye for much of the Biden era regarding presidential health and wellness, the legacy media revived its intense scrutiny of Trump in the heat of the 2024 election. Last September, The Los Angeles Times speculated about Trump's "rhetorical walkabouts," suggesting it was a sign of "cognitive decline." CNN's Abby Philip argued there was a "double standard" regarding the lack of attention towards Trump's mental acuity. In October, PBS News Hour took aim at Trump's "rambling speeches," saying they "raise questions about mental decline." NBC News sounded the alarm over Trump's behavior at one campaign event with the story "Trump's bizarre music session reignites questions about his mental acuity," as did The New York Times with the headline "Trumps Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age." The Washington Post also asked, "How big a political problem is mental acuity for Trump?"The media continued speculating about Trump's health even throughout his second term. Last month, USA Today columnist Rex Huppke penned a piece titled "Is Trump in mental decline? He sounds far worse than Biden ever did." The Daily Beast ran the headline, "Trump Shows Signs of Cognitive Decline Says Speech Expert."Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, the co-authors of the bombshell Biden book "Original Sin," have said during their book tour that one of the lessons learned in reporting on Biden's cognitive decline is for journalists to intensely pursue the truth about a president's health going forward, including Trump's."This goes beyond Joe Biden. It should be relevant to Donald Trump and whoever comes after Donald Trump," Tapper said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    Notorious Iranian prison boss flees minutes before Israeli airstrikes after secret warning
    EXCLUSIVE The notorious director of Tehrans brutal Evin Prison, Hedayatollah Farzadi, escaped the compound ahead of Israeli strikes following threats to his life and an alleged exchange between Jerusalem and his adult son.Israeli authorities reportedly contacted Amir Husseini Farzadi, telling him that if he convinced his father to release political prisoners, his life would be spared in the impending attack.According to a series of WhatsApp messages shared with Fox News Digital by an Israeli intel source, an agent instructed Amir to tell his father to open the prisons doors, warning that an attack would occur within "a few minutes." Amir asked whether something had already happened to his father, and the Israeli agent replied that it wouldnt if he passed the message along.IRAN'S TOP DIPLOMAT CONTRADICTS SUPREME LEADER ON 'SERIOUS' NUCLEAR SITE DAMAGEThe source told Fox News Digitial that after receiving the message, Amir contacted his uncle, who then drove to the prison to get his father, Farzadi. The two were seen speeding away from the area moments before the airstrikes began. Farzadi has not been heard from since, according to the source.Farzadi, who has been the director of Evin Prison since 2022, has been accused of committing egregious human rights violations, including the torture and murder of inmates, many of whom are political dissidents. Allegations against him include beatings, starvation, sexual violence against female prisoners and murder. He has been sanctioned by both the U.S. and the European Union.The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated Farzadi under the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, which prohibits U.S. entities and individuals from dealing with him.IRAN INTENSIFIES INTERNAL SECURITY CRACKDOWN AFTER US, ISRAEL STRIKES"Numerous protesters have been sent to Evin Prison during the latest round of protests where they have been subjected to torture and other forms of physical abuse," the Treasury Department wrote in a statement.Prior to his time at Evin Prison, Farzadi spent 10 years working at Dizel Abad Prison, where he "was known to organize public amputations of criminals convicted of petty crimes," the Treasury Department wrote. The department also noted that during his time as director of the Greater Tehran Penitentiary, also known as Fashafouyeh Prison, Farzadi "oversaw the torture and maltreatment" of inmates.In its April 2025 announcement of sanctions against Ferzadi, as well as other entities and individuals, the EU condemned "the use of the judiciary as a tool for arbitrary detention" in Iran. The EU also noted that Iran saw a "dramatic increase in the number of executions" in 2024, which included women, minorities and European citizens. However, the EU did not specify how many of those executed were political dissidents."Freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of religion or belief, as well as freedom of assembly have been increasingly restricted, and threatening measures have been taken against human rights defenders, journalists and political dissidents," the EU wrote.

    Maryland man, accused MS-13 gangbanger, could face death penalty over deadly border disaster: fmr prosecutor
    One former federal prosecutor said Kilmar Abrego Garcia could face death penalty-eligible charges if the government finds enough evidence tying him to an incident that left 50 migrants dead.Abrego Garcia was indicted on charges of alien smuggling and conspiracy by a grand jury in Tennessee earlier this month. The indictment says Abrego Garcia played a "significant role" in a human smuggling ring that was in operation for nearly a decade.During a news conference, Attorney General Pam Bondi described Abrego Garcia as a full-time smuggler who racked up over 100 trips throughout the U.S., transporting MS-13 gang-affiliated members, children and women.According to the indictment, Abrego Garcia and several co-conspirators are accused of working together to transport illegal immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador and Mexico to the U.S. for "profit and private financial gain."KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA INDICTED ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING CHARGES, ORDERED TO APPEAR BEFORE JUDGE IN NASHVILLEDuring one of these trips, Abrego Garcia's alleged co-conspirators' tractor trailer, which was carrying over 150 migrants, overturned, leaving more than 50 migrants dead and many others injured, authorities said.Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Neama Rahmani told Fox News Digital this incident could be the basis for death penalty-eligible charges, if federal prosecutors choose to go down that route."Even if Abrego Garcia wasn't in the vehicle, as long as he's a co-conspirator, they could potentially seek the death penalty," Rahmani said. "The classic law school example is this: You and a co-conspirator rob a bank. Your co-conspirator shoots someone during that robbery. Prosecutors can seek the death penalty even though you're not the one who actually pulled the trigger."DEPORTED ALLEGED GANG MEMBER ABREGO GARCIA 'WILL NEVER BE ON AMERICAN STREETS AGAIN,' DHS SAYS"If the Justice Department can prove that Abrego Garcia was involved in the alien smuggling death, even though the death occurred in Mexico, as long as the intention was to bring those individuals to the United States, that may appropriately be a death penalty case," he added.Rahmani said the deaths wouldn't need to be intentional for federal prosecutors to bring up death-penalty-eligible charges.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Prosecutors don't have to prove that Abrego Garcia intended to cause any injuries or even intended to hurt anyone. As long as they can show that he intended to smuggle people into the United States and a death resulted, that's enough," Rahmani said."Prosecutors just have to prove knowledge and intent of the smuggling operation as well as causation. The death resulted therefrom. That's enough for a death penalty case."Rahmani said that being a co-conspirator makes people criminally liable for conduct during the crime, but noted that prosecutors don't typically seek the death penalty in instances like this.Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ and Abrego Garcia's lawyer for comment.

    How psychiatry and activism created the dangerous concept of 'transgender children'
    In April 2007, millions of Americans tuned in to ABCs20/20 as Barbara Walters introduced the world to psychiatrysmost devastating creation: the "transgender child." In a segment titled"My Secret Self," Walters profiled three childrenincluding a young Jazz Jenningsbeing raised as the opposite sex, explaining that they had been diagnosed with "gender identity disorder."DETRANSITIONER PENS NEW BOOK ABOUT 'EMBRACING GOD'S DESIGN' AFTER LIVING AS A WOMAN FOR EIGHT YEARSThe episode marks the moment the Western world lost its grip on reality. A brand-new type of human being had beenconjured into existence through the collision of psychiatry, endocrinology, and political activism. Yet while the concept defied everything known about childhood development and identity formation, large swathes of societyalmost overnightbegan believing the unbelievable: that a child could be born in the wrong body.To understand how such a belief materialized, we must go back to an obscure corner of psychiatry in the 1960s, where a fringe group of doctors were studying what motivated men who believed they were women to seek hormones and surgeries. These researchersturned their attention to feminine boys, hoping to identify future transsexuals, and in the process they pathologized childhood gender nonconformity.In the decades that followed, it became clear that what those pioneers mostly found were not "transsexual children," butfuture homosexuals. However, by the time this was understood, it was too late. The seed had been plantedand the concept of the "trans child" was poised to take on a life of its own.A pivotal moment arrived in 1980, when "gender identity disorder of childhood" was included in the American Psychiatric AssociationsDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III). After the diagnosis was made official, along came the medical "solution": puberty suppression, developed in the Netherlands during the 1990s.While psychiatry conceived the idea, puberty blockers brought the transgender child to life. Before this intervention, it was impossible to raise a boy as a girl, or vice versa, with puberty looming on the horizon. But when the Dutch made puberty optional, they handed deeply misguided adults the means to sever gender-nonconforming children from the reality of their sexed bodies.At the same time, a critical shift was also unfolding in the realm of trans activism. In the 1990s, trans activists decided toredefine transgender identities as innate and healthy, rather than rooted in mental disorder or paraphilic desire. This wasnt grounded in new science; it wasstrategic rebranding. The old labels, while accurate, didnt suit the nascent movements political goals.The concept of the transgender child, freshly minted by medicine, fit perfectly into this new narrative. If being trans is innate, then transgender children must exist. And if transgender children exist, then trans identities must be naturalnot pathological or deviant. It was a self-justifying loopcircular and compelling, but based on ideology, not evidence.In the decades that followed, "trans kids" were thrust onto the forefront of what was framed as a civil rights struggle. This devastating convergence of medical, political, and cultural forces ensured that countless childrenrather than being given the freedom to grow, mature, and explore different identitieswere locked into a lifetime of medicalization, embodying an identity imposed upon them before they were old enough to understand what was at stake.Every story of a "trans kid" begins withtired stereotypeslittle boys who likeBarbies andprincess gowns, ortomboys with short hair and adislike of dresses. What separates a gender-nonconforming child from one diagnosed withgender dysphorianow considered a "trans child"is not biology, but belief. Specifically, thechilds belief that they are the opposite sex. In our upside-down world, the child leads and the adults follow.Yet, only a society in the grip of mass psychosis could treat children as wise oracles capable of divining an authentic gender soul while still young enough to believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe tragic reality is: trans kids dont exist. What does exist are gender-nonconforming children trying to make sense of themselves in a world that hasabandoned reason in favor of ideology. These childrenthe majority of whom would grow up to begay orlesbianare being lied to during a crucial stage of identity development, and the consequences will haunt them for a lifetime.Once the forces that collided to create the transgender childpsychiatric labeling, medical experimentation, and activist messagingare understood, the dark irony of trans activisms favorite slogan,Protect Trans Kids, becomes unmistakable.In truth, children need protection from the very people who believe there is such a thing as a trans kid. Thecrowds marching in the streets waving pink, blue, and white flags in zealous solidarity may see themselves as righteous heroes, but they are not fighting to protect children. Instead, they are modern-day Pied Pipers, luring confused, vulnerable children away from safety and down the dangerous path first paved by psychiatryone of false promises and irreversible harm.

    Ingredient in common kitchen herbs could target Alzheimer's, but don't change any recipes just yet
    Experts believe they've identified a chemical compound in certain herbs that could help mitigate or prevent Alzheimer's disease but before anyone makes a run for the spice rack, there are a few catches.In a study published in the journal Antioxidants earlier this year, researchers from the Scripps Research Institute identified a compound called carnosic acid, which is prevalent in rosemary and sage.The compound could prove therapeutic for neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, the experts concluded.COMMON HOUSEHOLD SPICE MAY INTERFERE WITH MEDICINES, STUDY SUGGESTSCarnosic acid contains "strikingantioxidant [and] anti-inflammatory properties," the researchers wrote in the findings.Scripps Research postdoctoral associate Piu Banerjee and board-certified neurologist Dr. Stuart Lipton, based in California, spoke with Fox News Digital about the results."In this study, we observed that administering this drug to mice that had advanced Alzheimer's-like diseasesignificantly improved the number of neurons, as well as the number of synapses or connections between the brain cells," the team said.KITCHEN SPICE SHELF LIFE DEBATE GOES VIRAL: WHEN IS IT TRULY TIME TO TOSS?The experts added, "It also reduced inflammation that is caused by the current anti-amyloid antibody therapies. We also observed an improvement in the learning and memory behavior of themice that received the drug."Banerjee and Lipton also noted that carnosic acid is a "prodrug," meaning it's inactive at first but once it enters the body, it's activated by oxidative and inflammatory stress."It specifically targets cells undergoing oxidative and inflammatory stress, without affecting the healthy, normal brain cells," Banerjee said."This further makes it a safe option for therapeutics."The experts agreed that carnosic acid could potentially improve the inflammation that generally occurs in most aging brains.There are cautions, however.Courtney Kloske, director of scientific engagement for the Chicago-based Alzheimer's Association, told Fox News Digital that studies based on a mouse model of Alzheimer's can be helpful but are not conclusive."Models are important in helping us understand the basic biology of the disease, but we need human studies in representative populations for ideas to be fully validated," Kloske said."Therefore, while these are intriguing findings, more research is needed to understand the impacts and outcomes of these compounds on people living with, or at risk for, Alzheimer's."Cooking sage and rosemary won't provide the full anti-inflammatory effects, Banerjee and Lipton stressed."Critically, one cannot take sufficient herbs safely to produce the same effect as our new drug," Banerjee said.The study, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, did have some limitations, the researchers acknowledged.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERKloske advised that, at this point, "no one should consume these herbs (or carnosic acid) to prevent or treat Alzheimer's or other cognitive impairment."Dr. Lee Murray, a neurologist in Jackson, Tennessee, echoed Kloske's concerns."Before patients start incorporating rosemary and sage in every dish they eat, we need to remember these studies are pre-clinical," Murray told Fox News Digital."Currently, there is insufficient clinical evidence to recommend rosemary and sage as a standard therapy for Alzheimer's dementia."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleMurray, however, said the data "is encouraging" and opens the door to additional pathways for potential therapeutics. Banerjee said she hopes that "our drug will start human clinical trials soon."She added, "If it proves to be effective, it will be a great new drug for those suffering from Alzheimer's From the results of our animal studies, we are cautiously optimistic for its success in human clinical trials."
