Rod Stewart got political this week, saying he supports Brexit leader Nigel Farage over current Prime Minister Keir Starmer."Its hard for me because Im extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesnt really touch me," the "Maggie May" singer told The London Times in a piece published Friday."But that doesnt mean Im out of touch. For instance, Ive read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasnt made him popular. Were fed up with the Tories. Weve got to give Farage a chance. Hes coming across well."Farage founded the Brexit Party in 2019, which eventually turned into the populist Reform UK, which he leads.BRACE FOR A POLITICAL REVOLUTION IN EUROPE, UK'S NIGEL FARAGE SAYS AFTER VANCE'S SPEECH IN MUNICHHis party would be on track to get the most seats in parliament if a general election were held this year, according to new polling, Sky News reported this week. The next general election is scheduled for 2029.Earlier this year, Reform UK had a series of electoral wins after it secured parliamentary, mayoral and several local election seats in what Farage said is proof that Reform UK is "now the opposition party to this Labour government.""What options have we got?" Stewart replied when a reporter expressed surprise at his support for Farage. "I know some of his family. I know his brother, and I quite like him.ROD STEWART'S UNUSUAL BRICK INTO THE POOL WORKOUT HELPS KEEP HIM FIT AT 80"Starmers all about getting us out of Brexit, and I dont know how hes going to do that. Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip."The 80-year-old had harsher words for American conservatives, especially when it comes to Ukraine."Did you see the way [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy was treated for not wearing a tie when he went to the White House? I could have jumped on [President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance]," the singer, who temporarily took in a displaced family from Ukraine in 2022, said."And it backfired because no one liked it. Youve got the other d-------, the one with the motor car company, coming in wearing a baseball cap. Mate, its depressing."He was referring to Elon Musk, who has since left the administration.Stewart also had thoughts on the Israel-Hamas war."Its depressing whats going on in the Gaza Strip," he said. "[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu doesnt realize that this is what happened to his people under the Nazis, total annihilation.

Multiple environmental groups filed a federal lawsuit Friday alleging officials did not evaluate ecologic impacts when constructing "Alligator Alcatraz," an illegal immigrant detention center near the Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve.The lawsuit, filed by Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity in the Southern District of Florida, aims to pause construction at the federal site, which is being built at the reportedly unoccupied Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport."It's a lazy lawsuit, and it ignores the fact that this land has already been developed for a decade," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.FLORIDA BUILDING 'ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ' WHERE ICE DETAINEES FACE NATURE'S OWN SECURITY SYSTEMThe 30-square-mile property will be home to 5,000 ICE detainees and is guarded by alligators and pythons.The Trump administration announced Tuesday it had approved the project, and crews started working on the transformation Monday.Attorneys allege the installation of housing units; the construction of sanitation and food services systems, lighting infrastructure, diesel power generators; and the use of the runway to transport detainees, pose "clear" environmental harms, according to a FOX 13 Tampa Bay report.Environmental groups and Native Americans who live in the reserve protested outside the airport Saturday, calling on officials to protect their homeland from additional pollution.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION APPROVES ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ, WHERE ICE DETAINEES FACE NATURE'S OWN SECURITY SYSTEM"The defendants, in their rush to build the center, have unlawfully bypassed the required environmental reviews," according to court documents.

Astronomers used a method once theorized by Albert Einstein to find a mysterious and rare planet on the edge of our galaxy.The planet, AT2021uey b, is a Jupiter-sized gas giant located about 3,200 light-years from Earth in the galactic bulge. It takes AT2021uey b4,170 days to orbit its dwarf star, according to a study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.According to Live Scence, AT2021uey b's shadow was first spotted in 2021 in data taken by the European Space Agency's Gaia telescope. It took the astronomers multiple check-ins to confirm the details of the planet.The astronomers discovered the planet using microlensing, a method used only three times previously, according to the study.ASTRONOMERS MAKE GROUNDBREAKING DISCOVERY ABOUT LARGEST COMET EVER OBSERVED FLYING THROUGH DEEP SPACEMicrolensing, which is based on Einsteins theory of relativity, relies on massive objects moving through the galaxy to warp the fabric of the universe, called space-time.Dr. Marius Maskoliunas, astronomer at Vilnius University and co-author of the study, discussed in a statement posted in Phys.org just how much work goes into using this method."This kind of work requires a lot of expertise, patience and, frankly, a bit of luck. You have to wait for a long time for the source star and the lensing object to align and then check an enormous amount of data," Maskoliunas said in the statement. "Ninety percent of observed stars pulsate for various other reasons, and only a minority of cases show the microlensing effect."POTENTIAL DISCOVERY OF NEW DWARF PLANET ADDS WRINKLE TO PLANET NINE THEORYAccording to the study, microlensing occurs when a massive celestial body briefly positions itself directly in front of an even more distant star.As the planet settles in front of the star during its journey, the light begins to curve around the planet, magnifying the light of the star. According to the study, this temporary magnified light is what astronomers are searching for.Maskoliunas gave an example of how to imagine how microlensing works."What fascinates me about this method is that it can detect those invisible bodies. Imagine a bird flying past you. You don't see the bird itself and don't know what color it is only its shadow," Maskoliunas said in the statement. "But from it, you can, with some level of probability, determine whether it was a sparrow or a swan and at what distance from us. It's an incredibly intriguing process."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAccording to Live Science, there have been nearly 6,000 planets discovered since 1992 using two other more common practices known as transmit photometry and radial velocity.These more common practices will detect planets through host stars becoming dimmer due to said planets. They will also detect the wobble of the planets gravitational pulls that occur.

In a scene that could have been from "Winnie the Pooh," two young bears who escaped from their enclosure at a zoo in England were eventually discovered in a food storage area chowing down on honey and other snacks.Mish and Lucy, two 5-year-oldEuropean brown bears, sneaked out of their enclosure at wildlife park Wildwood Devon in southwestEngland Monday afternoon and headed straight for a staff-only food storage area, according to Facebook posts from Wildwood Devon.There, the duo feasted on a "selection of snacks including a week's worth of honey," as noted in one of the social media posts.SECURITY FOOTAGE SHOWS DOG'S DRAMATIC SHOWDOWN WITH FULL-SIZED BEAR INSIDE CALIFORNIA HOMEThe two bears were not a threat to the public during their escape, but all park visitors were moved into a secure building as a safety precaution. Mish and Lucy were then monitored through surveillance footage and on the ground until they made their way back to their enclosure, Wildwood Devon wrote."Heres footage of Lucy caught red-handed, looking very pleased with herself after filling up in the food store, and both bears passed out afterward," the wildlife park said on Facebook.HOMEOWNERS GET SURPRISE VISITOR WHEN BLACK BEAR CRASHES THROUGH CEILING ONTO STOVEWildwood Devon said the incident, which prompted a police response, was the result of an "operational error." The wildlife park is now conducting a full internal investigation to determine how the bears escaped to prevent a similar incident from happening again."While the structural integrity of the bear enclosure remains uncompromised, we take any operational lapse extremely seriously," Wildwood Devon wrote. "We remain fully committed to the highest standards of animal care, visitor safety and transparency."MAN FOUND DEAD IN KANGAROO, WALLABY ENCLOSURE REPORTEDLY HAD 'HISTORY' OF PLAYING ROUGH WITH ANIMALWildwood Devon, located on 40 acres of woodland and gardens in Devon, England, is home to a range of animals, including foxes, wolves, red squirrels and bears.In 2023, an Andean bear escaped from his enclosure at the St. Louis Zoo twice in one month.

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts warned Saturday of the dangers of politicians using heated rhetoric against judges."It becomes wrapped up in the political dispute that a judge whos doing his or her job is part of the problem," Roberts said in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the Judicial Conference of the Fourth Circuit, a gathering of judges and lawyers."And the danger, of course, is somebody might pick up on that. And we have had, of course, serious threats of violence and murder of judges just simply for doing their work. So, I think the political people on both sides of the aisle need to keep that in mind."Roberts didnt name anyone but appeared to be referencing President Donald Trump and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer when he said he'd felt compelled to speak out against rhetoric by Democrats and Republicans in the past.CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS DOUBLES DOWN ON DEFENSE OF COURTS AS SCOTUS GEARS UP TO HEAR KEY TRUMP CASESTrump has criticized judges many times over the years, including calling for the impeachment of a judge who ruled against a deportation policy earlier this year, referring to him as "radical left" and a "lunatic."Roberts responded at the time, saying, "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."In 2020, Roberts condemned Schumer for saying that Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch would "pay the price" regarding an abortion rights case during Trumps first term.EX-SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ANTHONY KENNEDY PLEADS FOR CIVIL POLITICAL DISCOURSE, WARNS, DEMOCRACY IS AT RISK"You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price," Schumer said at a rally outside the Supreme Court at the time. "You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."Schumer later said he was referring to the political price he believed Senate Republicans would pay, but he said, "I shouldn't have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat. I never, never would do such a thing, and Leader McConnell knows that."Roberts, at the time, said of Schumer, "Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All members of the court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn April, an armed man who was arrested outside of Kavanaughs home pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate the justice.Roberts remarks came after the Supreme Court issued the final decisions of its term, handing the Trump administration a win Friday by limiting judges ability to block his agenda through court orders.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Senate Republicans rammed President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill" through a procedural hurdle after hours of tense negotiations that put the megabill's fate into question.Speculation swirled whether Republicans would be satisfied by the latest edition of the mammoth bill, which was released just before the stroke of midnight Saturday morning.TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' FACES REPUBLICAN FAMILY FEUD AS SENATE REVEALS ITS FINAL TEXTNearly every Republican, except Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., all voted to unlock a marathon 20-hour debate on the bill. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., could only afford to lose three votes.Though successful, the 51-49 party line vote was not without drama. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., flipped his vote from a no to yes in dramatic fashion, as he and Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, made their way to the Senate floor accompanied by Vice President JD Vance.Vance was called in case he was needed for a tie-breaking vote, but only his negotiating services ended up being used. No lawmaker wanted to be the fourth and final decisive vote to kill the bill. Republican leadership kept the floor open for nearly four hours while negotiations, first on the Senate floor and then eventually in Thune's office, continued.The bill won't immediately be debated thanks to Senate Democrats' plan to force the reading of the entire, 940-page legislative behemoth on the Senate floor a move that could drain several hours and go deep into the night.The megabills fate, and whether it could pass its first test, was murky at best after senators met behind closed doors Friday, and even during another luncheon on Saturday.Lingering concerns in both chambers about Medicaid specifically the Medicaid provider tax rate and the effect of direct payments to states energy tax credits, the state and local tax (SALT) deduction and others proved to be pain points that threatened the bills survival.ANXIOUS REPUBLICANS TURN TO TRUMP AMID DIVISIONS OVER 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'However, changes were made at the last-minute to either sate holdouts or comply with the Senate rules. Indeed, the Senate parliamentarian stripped numerous items from the bill that had to be reworked.The Medicaid provider tax rate was kept largely the same, except its implementation date was moved back a year. Also included as a sweetener for lawmakers like Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and others was a $25 billion rural hospital stabilization fund over the next five years.Collins said that she would support the bill through the procedural hurdle, and noted that the rural hospital stabilization fund was a start, but whether she supports the bill on final passage remains to be seen."If the bill is not further changed, I will be leaning against the bill, but I do believe this procedural vote to get on the bill so that people can offer amendments and debate it is appropriate," Collins said.Tillis, who is also concerned about the changes to Medicaid and would like to see a return to the House GOP's version, said that he would not vote in favor of the bill during final passage.GOP SENATOR CALLS FOR PARLIAMENTARIAN'S FIRING AFTER SERVING MEDICAID BLOW TO TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'The SALT deduction included in the House GOPs version of the bill also survived, albeit the $40,000 cap will remain intact for five years. After that, the cap will revert to its current $10,000.Other sweeteners, like expanding nutrition benefit waivers to Alaska and a tax cut for whaling boat captains, were thrown in, too, to get moderates like Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, on board with the bill.Lee announced that he withdrew his open lands sale provision, which proved a sticking point for lawmakers in Montana and Idaho.Still, Republicans who are not satisfied with the current state of the bill will use the forthcoming "vote-a-rama," when lawmakers can offer an unlimited number of amendments, to try and change as much as they can before final passage.Democrats, however, will use the process to inflict as much pain as possible on Republicans.Once the amendment marathon concludes, which could be in the wee hours of Monday morning, lawmakers will move to a final vote to send the bill, which is an amendment to the House GOPs version of the "big, beautiful bill," back to the lower chamber.From there, it's a dead sprint to get the package on the presidents desk by July 4.In a statement of administration policy obtained by Fox News Digital, Trump signaled that he would sign the bill."President Trump is committed to keeping his promises," the memo read. "And failure to pass this bill would be the ultimate betrayal."
