After four years of record prices, regulation and low growth, Americas economy is regaining strength. Inflation is at a four-year low. Wage growth is strong, with more than 620,000 new jobs added since January. Business investment is accelerating and optimism is returning. Underpinning that momentum is President Donald Trumps pro-growth policies and the small businesses his agenda is built to strengthen.With the "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act of 2025," Republicans are working to solidify Trumps agenda with the most sweeping tax and entitlement overhaul ever to ensure the Main Street comeback isnt temporary, but lasting.Since February, Ive traveled across the country meeting with small business owners in nearly every sector from family farms and factory floors to the Main Street cornerstones of restaurants and retailers. Their message is clear: they dont want bailouts, bigger tax bills or bureaucracy. They want a tax code that enables them to plan for the long term, puts more money in their pockets, and rewards not punishes work, entrepreneurship and growth. This bill delivers on all three.THE ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL URGENTLY NEEDS A MAKEOVER TO USHER IN TRUMPS GOLDEN AGEThanks to Trumps commitment to ending wasteful spending, data shows that inflation is no longer the top concern for small businesses. Today, the threat of rising taxes has taken the top spot. Unless Congress acts soon, the 2017 Trump tax cuts will expire, raising the top tax rate on small business pass-through income to 43.4%. That would hit more than two-thirds of small business owners, most of whom file taxes as individuals.The "One Big, Beautiful Bill" prevents the largest tax hike in history. It makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent, including the Section 199A deduction leaving more capital in the hands of Americas 34 million small business owners to hire, expand and reinvest in their operations. This provision alone is projected to create 1 million new jobs on Main Street and generate $750 billion in economic activity over the next decade.The bill also keeps cash in the wallets of blue-collar Americans. With no taxes on tips or overtime, it raises take-home pay for our workers without increasing costs for their employers. It repeals the IRSs $600 reporting rule, which created compliance headaches for millions of gig economy workers and small sellers. It increases the Child Tax Credit and standard deduction for working families. And it protects family farms from the death tax preserving generational assets rather than taxing them twice.TRUMP PUSHES 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' AS SOLUTION TO FOUR YEARS OF BIDEN FAILURES: 'LARGEST TAX CUT, EVER'To address the post-pandemic labor shortage, the bill incentivizes work, with work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents receiving Medicaid benefits, bringing nearly 4.8 million Americans back into the workforce and removing 1.4 million illegal aliens who do not qualify for Medicaid. At a time when small businesses are still struggling to hire, this is a necessary step to align government incentives with opportunity to pursue the American Dream.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe legislation also reinforces a key goal of Trumps economic vision: Made in America. Companies that manufacture here will benefit from targeted tax incentives, including interest deduction for American-made vehicles. They can take advantage of full expensing for investments in capital and equipment, R&D and factory construction. These provisions dont just encourage domestic production they renew our industrial base and create good-paying jobs for American workers.Finally, the bill tackles one of the most overlooked obstacles to small business success: regulatory overreach and costs. Under the Biden administration, Washington added an estimated $5.8 trillion in new regulations. The "One Big, Beautiful Bill" reins in those costs, clears out bureaucratic red tape, and restores a business climate where job creators can focus on growing not just staying afloat.IT'S TIME FOR CONGRESS TO DELIVER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' TO HIS DESKSupport for the bill spans party lines just not in Washington. A majority of small business owners, including many left-leaning entrepreneurs, back the legislations core provisions. Thats because these ideas arent ideological theyre practical. They reflect the real-world perspectives of the people who show up every day to keep our communities running.Unlike his predecessor, Trump has never lost sight of those who drive the American economy. The "One Big Beautiful Bill" is a reflection of his commitment to working families and small businesses. It delivers real tax relief, trims Washington overreach, rewards work and puts small businesses back where they belong at the center of Americas success story.Congress should act without delay. Small businesses are ready to keep building, hiring and innovating - this time with most in Washington finally behind them.

Sleeping during the hot summer months can be a struggle for some.Its necessary for the body to cool down for optimal rest so whats the best way to harness a good nights sleep during periods of extreme heat?Dr. Michael Gradisar, head of sleep science at the sleep app Sleep Cycle in Australia, shared some tips with Fox News Digital.MOUTH TAPING TOUTED BY SOME FOR BETTER SLEEP AS EXPERTS CITE SAFETY CONCERNSThe body naturally releases heat from the hands, feet and face when preparing for sleep, according to the expert.When the environment is too warm, the body cannot shed heat effectively, making it more difficult to fall and stay asleep."Overheating during the night also disrupts sleep, in the form of more frequent awakenings, night sweats and/or reduced sleep quality," Gradisar said."And for those already prone to rumination or insomnia, high nighttime temperatures act as an added stressor, making it even more likely they'll wake up and struggle to drift off again."This can result in fragmented sleep and groggy mornings, he warned.COUPLES WHO CUDDLE BEFORE SLEEP REAP KEY HEALTH BENEFITS, STUDY REVEALSTo increase sleep quality despite the heat, Gradisar offered the following guidance.To keep the room well-regulated for sleep, Gradisar suggested opening the windows early in the evening to let in cooler air and closing them before bedtime to reduce noise."Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet," he advised.Using a fan or air conditioning to circulate air will also support heat transfer from your body and help prevent night sweats, according to Gradisar.While drinking water is great for internal hydration on hot nights, Gradisar also suggested taking a cool shower or bath or going for an evening swim before bed.Immersing yourself in cool water will help lower the bodys core temperature, he said.If your bedding gets too warm, the expert suggested removing your blanket for 30 to 60 seconds, then re-covering once cooled.When sleeping with a partner, sharing the same duvet or blanket means also sharing each others body heat.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERGradisar recommended considering the Scandinavian sleep method, in which a couple uses separate duvets to avoid sharing too much heat.The expert also urged caution when using cooling blankets, as the "scientific evidence of their effectiveness is small."Wearing breathable pajamas and using natural, "heat-wicking" bedding will help keep you cooler, he said.Drinking even moderate amounts of alcohol before bed increases the likelihood of waking up during the night, according to Gradisar.For more Health articles, visit foxnews.com/healthAlcohol intake also speeds up the heart rate and widens blood vessels, bringing an initial warmth to the skin, and impairs the bodys ability to regulate temperature, research has shown.

Democrat Karen Bass is the mayor of Los Angeles who praised Castro upon his death. Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, of Chicago, recently had a 6.6% approval rating. Now, an avowed socialist, Zohran Mamdani, is likely to be mayor of New York City.Combined, one in 25 Americans will be "governed" or "ruled" by those three mayors, depending on your point of view. Perhaps, more importantly, will be their combined effect on national politics. In 2026 and 2028, it likely will be said that so goes the cities of LA, Chicago and New York, so goes the Democrat Party. With that dynamic, Americans, overall, might well shift more to the right.In 2024, according to even the embattled NPR, "Most of the country shifted right in the 2024 presidential election." According to the Economic Innovation Group, "Trump received a larger share of the vote, relative to his 2020 performance, in nine out of every 10 counties. And the shift in his direction was most common in the large urban counties that typically favor Democrats."WASHINGTON POST BASHES SOCIALIST ZOHRAN MAMDANI AS POTENTIAL DISASTER FOR NEW YORK CITYEven so, today, Americas largest cities remain nearly unbreakable political Democrat strongholds. Of the 30 largest cities in America, 27 are run by Democrats. The lone exceptions are Dallas, Texas (where the Democrat mayor switched parties in 2023), Fort Worth, Texas, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.For the last eight months, in the wake of the 2024 election, the Democrats have been undergoing a very public debate about the soul of their party. The now venerable James Carville has called for the most left among the Democrats, including Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Democrat National Committee vice-chair David Hogg, to split off from the Democrats.Meanwhile, TV host Bill Maher, a thought-leader of the left, regularly eviscerates the unrelenting march to the left of modern Democrats. Joining him is the ever-thoughtful former Bill Clinton adviser Democrat Doug Schoen.LIZ PEEK: NEW YORK'S SOCIALIST NIGHTMARE IS JUST BEGINNING BUT THERE'S STILL A WAY OUTSo, whats a Democrat Party to do?The answer is apparently to be defined by three far-left Democrat mayors, who not coincidentally, just happen to be in the three largest media markets in America and whose troubles are and will be on full display for years to come.For her part, Karen Bass of LA mourned the death of Fidel Castro in 2016, by saying "the passing of the Comandante en Jefe is a great loss to the people of Cuba." Although she later disavowed those comments. She was a featured speaker at the 1993 West Coast Socialist Scholars Conference at the University of California, where the theme was "socialism and empowerment." The theme for one of those events was "socialism and empowerment."She received a 0% rating from the American Conservative Union. Even California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters got on the board with 3%, and now-former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi received a 2% score.EX-NYC MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO SAYS THERES A LOT OF EXAGGERATION OVER MAMDANI FEARSThe failing city of Los Angeles has been on complete display in America. First, the Los Angeles Fires ravaged the city not long after Bass reduced the budget for firefighting. Despite promising Angelenos a quick rebuild, one home is under construction in the famed Pacific Palisades.Los Angeles County might well be ground zero for homelessness in America with over 75,000 homeless, with the largest share of them in the city of Los Angeles. "In fiscal year 2024/2025, the city allocated about $961 million to homelessness" according to ABC7.Today, riots are the headlines from the city of Los Angeles as Bass fights back against the removal of any illegal immigrants from her city.Despite all her problems, however, Bass still had an approval rating in the mid-30s before the recent LA riots.CHICAGO TRIBUNE WARNS NEW YORK TO AVOID SOCIALIST MAYORAL CANDIDATE AFTER 'MISTAKE' BRANDON JOHNSONAs for Chicago, Johnson polled at 6.6% recently. When he took the reins of office, he said, "People put me in charge to change course." So, he steered even more to the left.He quite publicly has clashed with residents over benefits to illegal immigrants stating that he was not going to "sacrifice the needs of Chicagoans in support of those who wish to become Chicagoans."According to WTTW in Chicago, "Black alderpeople have said it was deeply painful to see the city spend hundreds of millions of dollars to care for the newest Chicagoans, many of them Latino, while they have lived in neighborhoods that have suffered from disinvestment for decades with no end in sight."That takes us to the financial capital of the world New York City. The Democrats there just nominated Mamdani. He pledged to establish "city-owned grocery stores." How very Soviet.DAVID MARCUS: DEMOCRAT BUS HEADING OFF THE CLIFF, AS NYC SOCIALISTS HIT GAS PEDALHe promises to "freeze the rent" for New Yorkers. He has promised to spend $65 million on "gender-affirming care." Of course, he will pay for it all with taxes on the rich.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONOh, and he has been deeply criticized for his views on Jews and his lack of condemnation for global intifada.Finally, his victory was heralded by none other than Sanders and AOC, while Hogg promised that "Its gonna be fun the next couple years."The financial capital of the world and a socialist mayor what could go wrong other than overcrowding in Florida.Those three mayors may well be the brightest lights in Democrat policies over the next four years. Because of their locales, especially New York City, they will have huge platforms and will be impossible to ignore.They may also define the Democrat Party. At the very least, they will magnify the Democrat civil war under way.Meanwhile, if Republicans truly decide to become the nationwide party of solving the problems caused by big government, they could be the party with the last laugh and the most fun.

EXCLUSIVE: San Jose State University's transgender volleyball player controversy reignited last week. Fox News Digital reported that the Mountain West Conference hired the same law firm to investigate the trans athlete's misconduct allegations that the conference was using to defend the athlete's eligibility for the conference tournament in court.The White House released a statement addressing the revelation, and now the lawyer leading a lawsuit against SJSU and the Mountain West on behalf of 11 current or former conference women's athletes, William Bock, has spoken out against the conference in the aftermath of the revelation."It is outrageous, improper, and deceptive that the MWC hired the same law firm to both conduct a supposedly independent investigation of its member SJSU and defend the MWC in a federal lawsuit about MWCs joint conduct and actions with SJSU," Bock said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFox News Digital reported on June 24 that the Mountain West hired the firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher (WFG) to investigate allegations against Blaire Fleming of conspiring with an opponent to have teammate Brooke Slusser harmed during an Oct. 3 game.The Mountain West hired the firm to handle the investigation in the same month that the same firm represented the conference to protect Fleming's eligibility in a request for preliminary injunction to have the trans athlete disqualified from women's competition and the conference tournament. The investigation closed after just three days, and documents obtained by Fox News Digital showed that investigators repeatedly incorrectly dated the game as being played on Oct. 2.The WFG attorney who led the investigation into allegations against Fleming, Tim Heaphy, later offered the school legal counsel to help it navigate a federal Title IX investigation over the same situation, as seen in public records obtained by Fox News Digital. The offer was declined.Bock said the revelation "astonished" him."I was astonished to learn WFG was representing the MWC against Brooke Slussers lawsuit at the same time another lawyer from that firm was supposedly independently investigating the attempt to injure Brooke and whether SJSU and the MWC adequately investigated those facts," Bock's statement continued."Hiring WFG to perform such conflicted and mutually exclusive roles suggests that Commissioner Nevarez and the MWC had no interest in discovering the truth. Instead, the MWC has long been focused solely upon advancing the interests of SJSU and pushing the narrative that men should be allowed in womens college sports locker rooms and showers and to compete against women in college sports."Bock called for the U.S. Department of Education to look into the situation."The report from Fox News provides more evidence of the MWCs scheme to work side-by-side with SJSU to promote trans ideology and harm women athletes while hiding the truth from the public. The conclusions from the WFG investigator favoring MWCs and SJSUs positions in federal court allowed his law partners to continue to milk the MWC for legal fees and then positioned that same investigator to later seek to monetize his relationship with the MWC to defend SJSU in a federal investigation over the very claims he supposedly independently investigated," Bock's statement said."These shocking revelations of conflicts of interest entirely discredit the MWC and will hopefully be fully investigated in the reported probe of SJSUs conduct by the U.S. Department of Education. Certainly, this investigator is likely to become a key witness in Brooke Slussers federal lawsuit against the MWC and SJSU, as his hiring and conduct is additional evidence that the MWC worked hand-in-glove with SJSU and was far more concerned with promoting a narrative than protecting women."Bock leads Slusser's lawsuit against SJSU and the Mountain West, and also leads a larger lawsuit against the NCAA led by former college swimmer and current "OutKick" host Riley Gaines.WHO IS BLAIRE FLEMING? SJSU VOLLEYBALL PLAYER DOMINATING FEMALE RIVALS AND ENRAGING WOMEN'S RIGHTS GROUPSBock previously called the conference's investigation into Fleming's allegations "inadequate, and anything but thorough" in a Nov. 17 statement and called for the evidence to be disclosed. No evidence was ever disclosed by the conference, as Fleming went on to finish out the season, earn all-conference honors and even led SJSU all the way to the Mountain West championship game. The trans athlete traveled and roomed alongside female teammates to Las Vegas in the final week of November for the conference tournament.After leading the investigation that cleared Fleming's charges in November, Heaphy reached back out to San Jose State's university legal counsel Dustin May on Feb. 6, offering to help navigate a federal probe. President Donald Trump just signed an executive order to try and enforce that mandate just weeks into his presidency on Feb. 5. And just one day after that, Trump's Department of Education launched an investigation into SJSU over the Fleming situation.May declined Heaphy's offer on Feb. 18, but Heaphy responded the next day, writing, "Please let me know if we can help in any way on this or other issues."None of WFG's attorneys have been accused of violating any applicable rules of professional conduct.Fox News Digital has reached out to the Mountain West, San Jose State and Willkie Farr & Gallagher for a response to Bock's statement.The DOE's investigation into SJSU's handling of the situation involving Fleming is ongoing.The White House provided a statement addressing the recent revelations to Fox News Digital."President Trump is committed to ending the dangerous and unfair participation of men in womens sports and restoring common sense. President Trump will continue to speak out and take immediate action against schools that are jeopardizing the safety of female athletes," White House spokesperson Liz Huston said.Meanwhile, Bock is continuing his lawsuit against SJSU and the Mountain West on behalf of Slusser and the other 10 players on the lawsuit.Bock's office filed a response to motions to dismiss the case on June 23. The response made mention of the allegations against Fleming of misconduct.WFG and the Mountain West's legal battle to keep the trans athlete in the women's tournament was successful, as federal Judge Kato Crews, appointed by President Joe Biden in January 2024, ruled in favor of Fleming's eligibility on Nov. 25.Two days later, after a failed appeal by the plaintiffs, the firm posted an online press release announcing the legal victory to keep Fleming eligible to play.But that webpage has since been deleted. Fox News Digital asked why the page no longer exists, but Willkie Farr & Gallagher did not respond to the inquiry.Archived data shows the original press release stating, "Willkie secured a high-profile win for collegiate athletic conference Mountain West Conference in a suit brought by members of San Jose State Universitys womens volleyball team and other Mountain West teams that played againstSJSU."Fox News Digital previously reached out to the Mountain West, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, San Jose State University and its head volleyball coach Todd Kress regarding the previous findings. No response has been provided by those parties.May's office initially responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment after providing the public records, requesting a list of questions and background information be provided before speaking. Fox News Digital did not provide the information or list of comments, and requested a virtual or phone interview.May's office then responded with the statement, "Any speculation that the firm or attorney mentioned in your inquiry represented SJSU or the CSU is unfounded." Fox News Digital had not posed that question or any other stipulation, only an interview request, at that point.Fox News Digital later followed up with May's office requesting an interview to address other questions, and fulfilled his office's request to provide background information on what would be discussed.May's office responded saying, "He will not be available," and has not responded to request for further comment.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

PROGRAMMING ALERT: Watch author Jason Chaffetz discuss this topic and more on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" at 9 pm ET.Imagine a world where every text you send, every purchase you make, and every mile you drive is quietly logged and analyzed by a government that never asked for permission. That world isnt hypothetical; its here.In fact, its the Obama-Biden legacy. Their administrations allowed executive branch agencies to use our data to manipulate elections and silence opposing voices.This shadow threat remains, ready for any partisan hand to seize. President Donald Trumps push to streamline agency data for efficiency offers hope but will need transparency and oversight.This blueprint for tyranny didnt end with President Joe Biden. Below are ten chilling ways theyre harvesting your data, exposed in my new book,"They're Coming for You," (Broadside Books, July 1) with steps to fight back.10 SIGNS YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING SOLD ONLINE1. Buying Your Data from Brokers. What the government cant legally collect, it often buys. The feds skirt laws by purchasing your location history and shopping habits from data brokers. Apps you trust sell your every move, turning your life into a deep state cash cow.We can stop it by requiring agencies to obtain a warrant to access this data. Legislation like the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act can close this data broker loophole.2. Social Media Surveillance. Barack Obama andJoe Bidens allies coerced Facebook and Twitter to bury patriots posts, flagging wrongthink to silence dissent."They're Coming for You"demands transparency, oversight, and whistleblower/FOIA reforms to expose this deep state grip. If we enforce these fixes, you can reclaim your free speech.3. Cell-Site Simulators. While serving in Congress, I saw Stingraysfederal tools mimicking cell towerssuck up innocent phone data without warrants from agencies such as the IRS. I pushed a 2017 bill to stop this. A 2023 Cell-Site Simulator Warrant Act also stalled. We need to revive federal legislation to crush this deep state overreach.4. Facial Recognition Databases.Agencies raid DMV and social media photos to spy on you, targeting protesters with impunity. Demand Congress ban this un-American snooping.5. Financial Transactions. With Obama and Biden, the IRS and DOJ could rifle through your bank records, while the CDC bought phone data to enforce lockdowns. Insist on warrant requirements and strict oversight to expose this deep state plunder.6. Health Records. Your vaccine status and medical history are fair game for bureaucrats to punish non-compliance. Back federal privacy laws and sweeping reforms to shield health data. Urge Congress to pass legislation and stop this deep state intrusion.7. Internet Metadata. The NSA can track your emails and searches without cause, mapping your life. Support legislation like the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act to end this intrusion.8. AI and Machine Learning.Bidens AI tools flagged conservatives for suppression, predicting dissent. We should seek to dismantle these partisan algorithms.We need greatear transparency and oversight to curb this deep state bias. We need to push systemic reforms, ensuring accountability and stopping partisan algorithms from silencing patriots.9. Mail Surveillance.Law enforcement has far too often peeked at your mail with no vettingpure overreach. Call for public audits to expose this hidden violation.10. Partnerships with NGOs and Corporations. NGOs and woke corporations launder data for the deep state, blacklisting patriots. Rally behind Trump to sever these unholy alliances.The Obama - Biden data tyrannymanipulating elections, debanking opposition voices, and muzzling speechcasts a deep state shadow.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONTrumps executive order to eradicate information silos and enhance data collection across agencies seeks efficiency and taxpayer savings, is a noble aim I support. Yet, the administrations lack of transparency fuels distrust, risking a tool for partisan bureaucrats or future leaders to exploit.Without full disclosure, robust safeguards, ironclad legal protections, and vigilant oversight, this system could revive Obama and Bidens abuses. We need to work to mandate transparency reports, enforce strict data limits, and champion the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act. Trump has already begun to undo the Obama -Bidens legacy but only with these measures can we ensure data serves freedom, not tyranny.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JASON CHAFFETZ

President Donald Trump declared last week that Irans underground nuclear facilities bombed by the U.S. were "obliterated," while adding the U.S. and Israeli strikes delivered "monumental damage to all nuclear sites in Iran."U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed that message in a briefing, saying the "CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran's nuclear program has been severely damaged by recent targeted strikes."Israeli intelligence sources told Fox News Digital that strikes on Natanz, Fordow and Esfahan caused severe and possibly irreversible damage to Irans known enrichment infrastructure. "We hit the heart of their capabilities," one official said.NEW SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS ONGOING ACTIVITY AT IRAN'S FORDOW NUCLEAR COMPLEX AFTER US AIRSTRIKESBut despite the overwhelming success of the mission, questions remain about what survived and what might come next. Analysts warn that while Irans declared facilities have been largely destroyed, covert elements of the program may still exist, and enriched uranium stockpiles could resurface.International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director Rafael Grossi said in an interview with CBS on Saturday that although "its clear that what happened in particular in Fordow, Natanz, [and] Isfahanwhere Iran used to have, and still has to some degree, capabilities in terms of treatment, conversion, and enrichment of uraniumhas been destroyed to an important degree," the threat remains.Nuclear experts say that while Irans nuclear progress has been dealt a historic blow, the regime may still retain the technical know-how and residual capabilities to reconstitute its program over time especially if it chooses to go dark.A detailed assessment released Tuesday by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) found that Israels Operation Rising Lion, followed by U.S. bunker-busting strikes, "effectively destroyed Irans centrifuge enrichment program." But authors David Albright and Spencer Faragasso cautioned that "residuals such as stocks of 60%, 20%, and 3-5% enriched uranium and centrifuges manufactured but not yet installed... pose a threat as they can be used in the future to produce weapon-grade uranium".Jonathan Ruhe, director of foreign policy at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), echoed that concern in an interview with Fox News Digital."The threat now is certainly much reduced," Ruhe said. "But the threat from here on out is going to be much more difficult to detect because Iran could try to rebuild covertly. They dont need much space or time to enrich 60% to 90%. And the IAEA has said for years that Iran likely retains some secret capability."TRUMP HAILS MONUMENTAL' DAMAGE AS EXPERTS AWAIT VERDICT ON IRANS NUCLEAR PROGRAMRuhe added that while Israeli intelligence was likely aware of attempts to move uranium before the strikes, "any planning assumption going forward must consider Irans residual capacity even if its diminished."John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute, said critics who argue the program wasnt completely destroyed are missing the bigger picture."Can everything be rebuilt eventually? Sure. But theres no question the program was rolled back years, if not more," Spencer told Fox News Digital. "People fixate on how many pounds of uranium are missing. But building a bomb requires much more than material. You need the conversion, the metallurgy, the delivery system all of which were hit."Dr. Or Rabinowitz, a nuclear proliferation scholar at Hebrew University and visiting associate professor at Stanford, noted that many unknowns remain."Theres no verified answer yet to what happened to the 60% enriched uranium or to the other feedstocks at 20% or 3.5%," Rabinowitz said. "If Iran has access to advanced centrifuges, they could in theory enrich back to weapons-grade but we dont know how many centrifuges survived or in what condition they are."She also explained that even if Iran retains the material, converting uranium gas into metal for a bomb requires a specialized facility. "From what we know, that conversion facility in Isfahan was bombed. Without it, Iran faces a significant bottleneck," she said. But she warned that nuclear weapons technology is not insurmountable: "This is 1940s science. If North Korea could do it, Iran could too eventually."TRUMP ANNOUNCES HISTORIC IRAN AND ISRAEL CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT TO END '12 DAY WAR'According to the ISIS report, "extensive damage" was confirmed at nearly all major Iranian nuclear and missile facilities, including the destruction of uranium metal conversion plants, fuel fabrication centers, and the IR-40 Arak heavy water reactor. The report noted that the Israeli and U.S. strikes "rendered the Fordow site inoperable," citing high-resolution satellite imagery of deep bunker penetrations.Rabinowitz also emphasized that the intelligence picture is still developing in real time. "The Israelis and the Americans are now hard at work to generate the most accurate intelligence picture they can," she said. "Without having my own sources in the Mossad, I can guarantee the Israelis are monitoring internal Iranian communications, trying to figure out what the Iranians have figured out. As they learn more, so will Israel and the U.S."As debate continues over whether the strikes were enough to permanently disable Irans nuclear ambitions, analysts agree on one point: Irans assumption that it could push forward without consequence is gone.During a press conference on Friday. Trump was asked if he would bomb Iran's nuclear program again if it was restarted. He told reporters, "Sure without question."

The entire transaction is seamless, contactless, and designed to eliminate the frustrations of traditional vending machines or checkout lines.AI HUMANOID ROBOT IS CHANGING THE WAY YOU BUY CARS AT DEALERSHIPSVenHub's foundation is a sophisticated blend of robotics, artificial intelligence, and real-time analytics. The robotic arms are similar to those used in automotive manufacturing, engineered for speed, precision, and reliability. Rather than attempting to mimic human appearance, these arms are optimized for repetitive, high-accuracy tasks that are perfect for retail fulfillment.Artificial intelligence drives every aspect of store operations. AI algorithms manage inventory by tracking purchasing patterns, adjusting stock levels, and predicting demand based on time of day, location, and customer behavior. Machine vision allows the robots to accurately identify products and handle them with minimal errors or downtime. The entire system is connected through IoT sensors, providing real-time data on inventory, system health, and order status. This data-driven approach enables VenHub to operate efficiently, minimize waste, and ensure popular items are always available.From the customer's perspective, everything is managed through a mobile app. This app handles payment, order tracking, and pickup notifications, creating a frictionless and transparent shopping experience. On the backend, analytics continually refine operations, making each store smarter over time.AI ROBOTS HELP NURSES BEAT BURNOUT AND TRANSFORM HOSPITAL CAREVenHub's model offers significant advantages that could reshape retail across the country. The rapid setup time enables these stores to quickly appear in busy locations, ranging from transportation hubs to college campuses and urban centers. Since the store operates around the clock without breaks, it maximizes both convenience for shoppers and revenue for operators. Eliminating on-site staff dramatically reduces overhead, allowing for competitive pricing and improved profitability.Security is a major focus for VenHub. The store uses bulletproof glass to protect inventory and customers. If one robot requires maintenance, the other can take over, ensuring reliable service with minimal downtime. VenHub's design is also environmentally conscious, featuring compact, energy-efficient layouts and optional solar power compatibility to reduce its carbon footprint. Each store can be customized to fit local demand, whether that means stocking snacks, electronics, or other essentials.AI TENNIS ROBOT COACH OFFERS PRO-LEVEL TRAINING ANYTIME, ANYWHEREA common concern with automation is the impact on jobs. VenHub's robots do replace some traditional retail roles, but the company emphasizes that new opportunities are emerging. Skilled workers are needed to maintain, restock, and support the automated systems, shifting the workforce toward higher-paying, tech-focused positions. This trend reflects a broader shift in the economy, where automation often transforms jobs rather than eliminating them.If you're considering bringing a VenHub Smart Store to your city, here's a quick breakdown of the costs and what's included. The price for a VenHub Smart Store ranges from $250,000 to $275,000, depending on your chosen configuration. To secure your spot in the production queue, you'll need a $2,500 pre-order deposit, which is fully refundable up until production begins. Financing is available through select financial institutions, with some buyers qualifying for up to 100% financing. However, all arrangements are handled directly between you and the lender; VenHub does not influence approval decisions.Once you own a VenHub Smart Store, it's yours outright; there are no leases or franchise agreements. You have complete control over pricing, inventory, and restocking, and you can manage replenishment yourself or use VenHub's preferred fulfillment partners. A monthly software-as-a-service fee of $2,500 covers software updates, AI analytics, remote monitoring, and cloud-based management tools. If you require additional support, an optional maintenance package is available for $1,300 per month, which includes servicing and preventive care.VenHub does not secure locations for you, but they do offer guidance on choosing high-traffic spots, such as shopping centers, universities, business districts, or commuter hubs, to help maximize your store's performance. With high demand and expanding production capacity, VenHub is working to deliver stores to new owners as quickly as possible across the country.SUBSCRIBE TO KURTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR QUICK VIDEO TIPS ON HOW TO WORK ALL OF YOUR TECH DEVICESVenHub truly feels like a glimpse into the future of shopping.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said on Sunday that Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will need to "clarify his position" on the phrase "globalize the intifada" if he wants to be a successful New York City mayor.On ABCs "This Week," Jeffries was asked about Mamdanis upset victory in the Democratic primary as well as concerns about his connections to anti-Israel activism.Host Jonathan Karl brought up as an example how Mamdani has defended the use of the phrase "globalize intifada" despite it having antisemitic undertones.COLBERT GRILLS DEM SOCIALIST NYC MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI ON ISRAEL, ANTISEMITISM"Globalizing the intifada, by way of example, is not an acceptable phrase," Jeffries replied. "Hes going to have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."He continued, "With respect to the Jewish communities that I represent, I think our nominee is going to have to convince folks that he is prepared to aggressively address the rise in antisemitism in the city of New York, which has been an unacceptable development."Jeffries added that regardless of who the mayor ends up being, they will need to have a "clear plan and commitment" to address the rise in antisemitic hate as well as other city concerns such as housing.Jeffries has not yet endorsed Mamdani as New York City mayor, though he revealed during the interview that he had spoken to him on Wednesday to congratulate his campaign. He said that his non-endorsement came simply because they "don't really know each other well" and that they have agreed to sit down for a talk soon.Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdanis campaign for comment.SEN. KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND URGES ZOHRAN MAMDANI TO DENOUNCE 'GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA' RHETORICMamdani continued to dodge questions about whether he condemned the phrase "globalize the intifada" during his interview on NBCs "Meet the Press" on the same day."My concern is, to start to walk down the line of language and making clear what language I believe is permissible or impermissible, takes me into a place similar to that of the president, who is looking to do those very kinds of things, putting people in jail for writing an op-ed, putting them in jail for protesting. Ultimately, it is not language that I use. It is language I understand there are concerns about, and what I will do is showcase my vision for the city through my words and my actions," Mamdani said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

President Donald Trump's 24th week back in the Oval Office is set to focus on Republican lawmakers sprinting to meet a July 4 deadline to pass a massive piece of legislation that will advance the president's agenda, while the White House simultaneously juggles ongoing talks related to conflict and tensions in the Middle East.Trump's 23rd week in office was one of his most consequential on the books after he ordered U.S. military strikes on a trio of nuclear facilities in Iran last Saturday evening that critics said threatened to pull the U.S. into another war. Instead, the strikes appear to have wiped out Iran's burgeoning nuclear program that had the Middle East and nations worldwide on edge. It ended in a ceasefire between Iran and Israel as Trump took a victory lap for ending the "12 Day War.""This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didnt, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!" Trump posted to Truth Social last week.SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' THROUGH KEY TEST VOTERepublicans in Washington, D.C., are hyper-focused on passing the "one big, beautiful bill" this week, ahead of lawmakers' July 4 deadline to land the legislation on Trump's desk for his signature. The budget reconciliation bill, if passed, will advance Trump's agenda on taxes, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt. The legislation is currently before the Senate.Senate Republicans successfully carried the legislation over a procedural hurdle late on Saturday in a 51-49 party-line vote after hours of negotiations. All Republicans voted in support of advancing the bill except for Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Rand Paul, R-Ky. Tillis announced on Sunday, after bucking Republican colleagues and the president, that he would not seek reelection in 2026.SCHUMER TO FORCE SENATE READING OF TRUMP'S ENTIRE 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'Following the procedural vote, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., required clerks on the Senate floor to read the entire 940-page Senate GOPs version of Trumps megabill as a delay tactic that stalled debate on the package by about 16 hours.Senate lawmakers will hold 20 hours of debate that is evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans as the bill moves along ahead of the Friday deadline. Senate Democrats are expected to use all of their allotted time, while Senate Republicans will likely only use a portion of their hours."Tonight we saw a GREAT VICTORY in the Senate with the "GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL," but, it wouldnt have happened without the Fantastic Work of Senator Rick Scott, Senator Mike Lee, Senator Ron Johnson, and Senator Cynthia Lummis," Trump posted to Truth Social overnight Saturday.GOP SENATOR CALLS FOR PARLIAMENTARIAN'S FIRING AFTER SERVING MEDICAID BLOW TO TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'"They, along with all of the other Republican Patriots who voted for the Bill, are people who truly love our Country! As President of the USA, I am proud of them all, and look forward to working with them to GROW OUR ECONOMY, REDUCE WASTEFUL SPENDING, SECURE OUR BORDER, FIGHT FOR OUR MILITARY/VETS, ENSURE THAT OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM HELPS THOSE WHO TRULY NEED IT, PROTECT OUR SECOND AMENDMENT, AND SO MUCH MORE."The White House is expected to hold ongoing talks with Iran this week after the U.S. successfully carried out military strikes on three nuclear facilities in the country last Saturday."So Iran wants to meet. As you know, their sites were obliterated. Their very evil nuclear sites," Trump told the media last week.Details related to the reported discussions are vague, with Iran denying it is participating in ongoing talks, while the White House said the U.S. remains in close communication with Iranians and intermediaries. GRAHAM PUTS FORTH GROUND RULES FOR IRAN NEGOTIATIONS, SAYS 'WE'RE IN TROUBLE' UNTIL CERTAIN CHANGES MADE"I spoke to our special envoy Witkoff at length this morning and I can assure all of you we continue to be in close communication with the Iranians and through our intermediaries as well, namely the Qataris, who have been an incredible ally and partner throughout this entire effort," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing on Thursday. "And as I said, this administration is always focused on diplomacy and peace, and we want to ensure we can get to a place where Iran agrees to a non-enrichment civil nuclear program."The president wants peace. He always has, and right now we're on a diplomatic path with Iran. The president and his team, namely special envoy Witkoff, continue to be in communication with the Iranians and especially our Gulf and Arab partners in the region to come to an agreement with Iran," she added.Trump announced on June 21 that the U.S. successfully carried out strikes on Iran in a Truth Social post that was not preceded by media leaks or speculation that an attack was imminent. The unexpected social media post was followed just hours later by a brief Trump address to the nation while flanked by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance."A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan," Trump said from the White House late on Saturday in an address to the nation regarding the strikes. "Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's No. 1 state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success."GRAHAM PUTS FORTH GROUND RULES FOR IRAN NEGOTIATIONS, SAYS 'WE'RE IN TROUBLE' UNTIL CERTAIN CHANGES MADEThe operation included the longest B-2 spirit bomber mission since 2001, the second-longest B-2 mission ever flown and the largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history, Hegseth said.Operation Midnight Hammer followed Israel launching preemptive strikes on Iran on June 12 after months of attempted and stalled nuclear negotiations and subsequent heightened concern that Iran was advancing its nuclear program.While celebrating the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, as well as a separate U.S.-brokered peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday, Trump predicted a potential ceasefire in Gaza as the war between Hamas and Israel continues since 2023.Trump called the situation in Gaza "terrible" while speaking to the media from the Oval Office on Friday, but expressed optimism there could soon be a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas."Ithink it's close. I just spoke with some of the people involved," said the president, adding, "We think within the next week we're going to get a ceasefire."TERROR IN GAZA: HAMAS OFFERS BOUNTIES TO KILL US AND LOCAL AID WORKERS, GROUP SAYSTrump also addressed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying, "We're supplying, as you know, a lot of money and a lot of food to that area because we have to. I mean, you have to. In theory, were not involved in it, but we're involved because people are dying.""MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!! DJT," Trump posted to Truth Social early on Sunday as he posted other messages related to the Big Beautiful Bill.Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer is expected to travel to Washington, D.C., this week to meet with U.S. counterparts to discuss a ceasefire deal, The Associated Press reported.Fox News Digital's Alex Miller and Peter Pinedo contributed to this report.
