    Rep Dusty Johnson launches bid for South Dakota governor
    South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson, the states sole member of the House, has announced a run for governor.Johnson is chair of the House GOP's Main Street Caucus and a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. He has served in Congress since 2019, following a job as vice president at a South Dakota-based engineering and consulting firm. Prior to his role as an executive, Johnson also worked as South Dakota Public Utilities commissioner from 2005 to 2011, during which he was appointed chief of staff to former Gov. Dennis Daugaard. The announcement, deemed by local media as a "formality" after Johnson was already rumored to run, came Monday at a campaign event and was paired with a video the representative shared on social media.KEY HOUSE GOP MODERATE DON BACON WON'T SEEK RE-ELECTION"I's been such an honor to work for you in Congress. We rolled up our sleeves and got things moving in the right direction, cutting trillions in wasteful spending, standing with President Trump to secure our border and finally getting tough on China," Johnson said."Those were important fights to build a better country for our kids, but their future doesn't begin in some far away place. It begins here, at home, in South Dakota. That's why we need to hit the gas and give them a clear path to a bright future."TRUMP REACTS TO TILLIS NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION, SENDS WARNING TO COST CUTTING REPUBLICANSFollowing the announcement, criticism began popping up online that Johnson has not adequately supported President Donald Trump, and claims he is a "never-Trumper" are "lies of the desperate.""Here are the facts," Johnson told Fox News Digital. "Donald Trump has had me down to Mar-a-Lago. I've gone to the Super Bowl with President Trump. I donated $10,000 to his re-election campaign years ago. He endorsed me in my 2020 race. I was his state campaign chairman for his re-elect."Johnson added that he is someone who has "a long-standing, multi-year history of being a partner" with Trump.Johnson also said he has proven to be a "key ally" of House Speaker Mike Johnson, RLa., noting he was one of the members of Congress who "helped deliver the votes to get him elected speaker."On the fight in the Senate over the Trump-endorsed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Johnson said he supports the version of the bill passed by the House of Representatives and expressed optimism it will get passed by the Senate by the GOP's self-imposed July 4 deadline.

    Multibillion-dollar healthcare fraud scheme included giving people 'unnecessary' skin grafts: DOJ
    The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced sweeping charges Monday against more than 300 defendants, alleging they misled patients into paying for, and sometimes receiving, medical care that they did not need.In turn, DOJ Criminal Division chief Matthew Galeotti said, the defendants also attempted to swindle Medicare and other taxpayer-funded and private health insurance programs out of about $14.6 billion.The announcement marked the "largest coordinated healthcare fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice," Galeotti said during a press conference.One set of charges included, for example, an indictment against three defendants in Arizona who allegedly conspired to purchase and give elderly Medicare recipients skin grafts known as "amniotic wound allografts." The defendants allegedly reaped millions of dollars from the practice.5.4 MILLION PATIENT RECORDS EXPOSED IN HEALTHCARE DATA BREACHOne of the defendants, a nurse practitioner, applied the grafts to patients even though they were "medically unreasonable and unnecessary," the indictment said. The nurse allegedly applied them to terminally ill patients in hospice, including some who were days away from dying.While that specific medical practice is typically non-invasive, Galeotti noted it was part of a $1 billion healthcare fraud scheme that stripped patients of "dignity and peace" in their final days."That conduct is exactly as callous and disturbing as it sounds," Galeotti said. "Patients and their families trusted these providers with their lives. Instead of receiving care, they became victims of elaborate criminal schemes."One DOJ official said in response to a question from Fox News Digital that skin grafts were an "emerging area" of healthcare fraud, "especially given the significant amount of money that they can bill for sometimes in excess of $1,000 a square centimeter."The healthcare fraud cases, all of which were shared publicly online, spanned the country and globe. Defendants included medical supply company owners and medical professionals, including 25 doctors.TEXAS DOCTOR SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON IN ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CASES OF PATIENT HARMAn FBI official announced at the press conference that one scheme, called "Operation Gold Rush," resulted in at least 20 members of a transnational criminal organization, including defendants based in Russia, being charged as part of a $10 billion Medicare and money laundering operation that centered on catheters.The DOJ Criminal Divisions healthcare fraud unit led the effort. Galeotti said Monday the DOJ also launched a "fusion center" in which it would join forces with other agencies to consolidate healthcare data as part of its investigations into fraud.Galeotti and Dr. Mehmet Oz, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator, also used the press conference to make a plea for more tips."We need your help, the American people," Oz said. "Why? Over half of the whistleblower tips that we get are for healthcare fraud and over half of the fraud against our government is in healthcare."

    Top cosmetic procedures revealed in new report: What's trending and why
    Americans continue to invest in their aesthetic health.A new report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) shows steady growth in cosmetic procedures last year, particularly in body contouring and minimally invasive treatments.The report's data, detailed below, reveals where people are spending their money.Of the nearly 1.6 million cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2024, liposuction and breast augmentation topped the list.HAS KRIS JENNER FOUND THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH? EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON HER STUNNING TRANSFORMATION"Surgical procedures grew by 1% from 2023," ASPS President Dr. Scott Hollenbeck, a general plastic surgeon based in Charlottesville, Virginia, shared in a press release, noting that body contouring procedures saw the highest increase.Thigh and buttock lifts were up 3%, while arm and neck lifts rose 2%.WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY TRUMPS POPULAR OZEMPIC TREATMENT IN SHOCKING NEW COMPARISONSurgeons believe this may reflect the rising use of GLP-1 weight-loss medications, like Ozempic and Wegovy, which can lead to sagging skin.Minimally invasive procedures continue to dominate the aesthetic landscape, with over 28.5 million performed last year. The top five listed below led the pack."These treatments remain strong due to their affordability and low downtime," said ASPS member surgeon Dr. Kristy Hamilton, a general plastic surgeon based in Houston, Texas, in the release."Despite so-called filler fatigue, HA fillers continue to top the list when done naturally, theyre extremely effective," she added.For the first time, ASPS tracked the use of GLP-1 weight-loss medications, noting that over 837,000 prescriptions were written by ASPS surgeons in 2024.Of those patients, 20% had already undergone surgery, 39% were considering surgery and 41% were exploring non-surgical options, the report shared.WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS IMPACT ON CANCER RISK REVEALED IN NEW STUDY"These medications are helping patients reach a healthy weight before surgery," Dr. Heather Faulkner, a cosmetic plastic surgeon based in Atlanta, Goergia, said in the release."But theyre not substitutes you must be near your goal weight before considering procedures like tummy tucks or lifts."A number of factors could contribute to the high demand for cosmetic procedures, according to experts."Maybe its greater exposure through social media or a general decrease in taboos," said Hollenbeck. "Either way, patients are prioritizing their aesthetic health."Surgeons agree that aesthetic procedures go beyond vanity, suggesting they are about feeling strong, confident and healthy.Many also see them as part of a holistic self-care routine, alongside diet, fitness and mental well-being.Social media is also helping to normalize aesthetic care, making procedures more accessible and less stigmatized, the report stated.Patients now openly discuss their experiences and are seeking natural, subtle enhancements, not exaggerated results."Theres a trend toward the ballerina body," Dr. Michele Shermak, a general plastic surgeon based in Baltimore, Maryland, said in the report."Smaller implants, lifted silhouettes women want to look refined, not overdone."Cosmetic procedures werent the only area of growth. Over one million reconstructive surgeries were performed in 2024, including the most common ones listed below.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Plastic surgeons are also innovators in complex wound care," said Dr. Sara Dickie, general plastic surgeon based in Morton Grove, Illinois, according to the report."Whether its trauma, dog bites or tumor removal, our work goes beyond aesthetics."For more Health articles, visit foxnews.com/healthWhile trends may come and go, ASPS emphasizes that safety should always come first, recommending that procedures are performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with the appropriate training and experience."Patients want to look and feel their best," Hollenbeck added. "And when done right, aesthetic care can support mental and physical well-being in truly meaningful ways."

    Eric Adams backs 50 Cent, says Dem socialists economics deserve 'one-way ticket to Fantasyland'
    New York City Mayor Eric Adams is agreeing with rapper and actor 50 Cent that New York City Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdanis economic proposals should be in "Fantasyland.""Hey @50cent, make it a one-way ticket to Fantasyland, hell fit right in," Adams said in a Monday X post that included a screenshot of what appears to be a since-deleted post from 50 Cent where the rapper challenged Mamdanis policy ideas."Its the only place rent is optional, vibes are currency, and your parents still cover your deductible," Adams added.NEW YORK MAYORAL HOPEFUL ZOHRAN MAMDANI SLAMS CAPITALISM ON CNN, CITES MLK TO DEFEND SOCIALISMAdams, whowas elected as a Democrat in 2021 but recently announced he wouldrun as an independent this year followinglow approval ratings and federal corruption charges that have since been dropped, has said there is "no dignity" in socialism."This is a city not of socialism," Adams said on Thursday during an event officially launching his re-election bid. "There's no dignity in someone giving you everything for free. There's dignity in giving you a job, so you can provide for your family and the opportunities that you deserve. This is not a city of handouts. This is a city of hands up."Early this month, 50 Cent, whose real name isCurtis James Jackson III,called out remarksMamdani made during a June 11 episode of"The Breakfast Club" podcast.During the conversation,Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assembly member from Queens who wasborn and raised in Uganda,discussed raising corporate taxes to pay for his idea to "Trump-proof" New York City.CURTIS SLIWA VOWS TO STAY IN NYC MAYORAL RACE AS DONORS PLOT TO STOP MAMDANI"We're talking about corporations that are making millions of dollars, not in revenue, but in profit," Mamdani said. "And the second is taxing the top 1% of New Yorkers. We're talking about people who make a million dollars a year or more, taxing them just by a flat 2% tax increase."Mamdani also mentioned 50 Cent by name, saying, "I know if 50 Cent is listening, he's not going to be happy about this. He tends to not like this tax policy, but I want to be very clear this is about $20,000 a year. It's a rounding error. And all of these things together, they make every New Yorker's life better, including those who are actually getting taxed now."50 Cent, whoendorsed President Donald Trump in 2020, criticizedMamdanis remarks."Where did he come from? Whose friend is this? Im not feeling this plan," 50 Cent said in what appears to be a since-deleted post. "No. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one-way ticket away from NY. Im telling Trump what he said too!"the rapper wrote.Fox News Digital reached out to both 50 Cent and Mamdani for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

    Former SJSU women's volleyball star calls out 'bias' as transgender athlete controversy reignites
    Former San Jose State womens volleyball player Brooke Slusser reacted on Monday after Fox News Digital reported that the Mountain West Conference hired the same law firm to investigate the transgender athlete Brooke Flemings misconduct allegations that the conference was using to defend the athlete's eligibility for the conference tournament in court.Slusser was at the heart of an alleged conspiracy plot involving Fleming and a Colorado State player to harm her during a game. Fox News Digital previously reported that Mountain West hired the firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher (WFG) to investigate the allegations.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.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe investigation was closed after three days with Fleming being cleared of impropriety. But 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 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.Slusser spoke about the recent findings in an appearance on Fox News Channels "America Reports.""Its obvious once this was put out into the public that theres so much bias in this situation, and theyre trying to just sweep these things under the rug and not have to deal with it when theres obvious problems going on all over the place," she said.LAW FIRM THAT WORKED TO KEEP SJSU TRANS PLAYER ELIGIBLE ALSO CLEARED ATHLETE OF CONSPIRING TO HARM TEAMMATE"They need to be held accountable for using the same law firm and not doing a thorough investigation because Title IX was built to protect women, and theyre obviously deciding to protect the man in this situation when they were blatantly trying to harm a female athlete at their school, and theyre still backing this male athlete and thats just wrong all over the place. And theres schools all over the nation doing this, theyre just not getting the spotlight it deserves."Slusser ultimately hopes that no other female athletes have to deal with the same things she experienced."The goal is to never have to let another female athlete go through what I did. The sport was ruined for me my senior season," she said. "So, the goal is to give back to those young girls who had the same dream that I did but to be able to love it the entire time."None of WFG's attorneys have been accused of violating any applicable rules of professional conduct.William Bock, the attorney leading a lawsuit against SJSU and the Mountain West on behalf of 11 current or former conference women's athletes, spoke out against the conference earlier Monday.Bocks remarks followed a White House statement on the issue from earlier this week.Mountain West, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, and San Jose State University have not responded to requests for comment.Fox News' Jackson Thompson contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Karoline Leavitt accuses CNN of 'encouraging violence' against agents for reports on new ICE tracking app
    White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested on Monday that CNN was guilty of inciting and "encouraging violence" for its reporting on ICEBlock, a new app that tracks and alerts users to the whereabouts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan asked Leavitt to respond to the CNN report, considering there has been a 500% increase in assaults against ICE agents, according to recent DHS reports. Leavitt said she would need to see the segment herself but condemned CNN for airing it nevertheless."Surely, it sounds like this would be an incitement of further violence against our ICE officers," Leavitt said. "As you know, as you stated, there's been a 500% increase in violence against ICE agents, law enforcement officers across the country who are just simply trying to do their jobs and remove public safety threats from our communities."WHITE HOUSE CALLS CNN 'FAKE NEWS' FOR REPORT CLAIMING DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP WASN'T BRIEFED ON IRAN STRIKEShe continued, "And that's something we as Americans, including journalists at CNN, who live in many of these cities where illegal aliens are hiding and were let in from the previous administration, should be very grateful for. So we haven't seen the clip. We'll take a look at it, but certainly it's unacceptable that a major network would promote such an app that is encouraging violence against law enforcement officers who are trying to keep our country safe."A CNN spokesperson defended the network's reporting."CNN reported on a publicly available app, which is generating attention across the United States, and reached out to ICE for comment prior to publication. After CNN published its reporting, ICE posted a response, which is now included in the story," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital.The response reported by CNN came from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, who said ICEBlock "basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers backs" and that "officers and agents are already facing a 500% increase in assaults."The CNN reported on and aired segments on their channel featuring an interview with the apps creator, Joshua Aaron, who said he was inspired to create ICEBlock as a way to fight back against deportation efforts which he claimed were reminiscent of Nazi Germany.WHITE HOUSE, KAROLINE LEAVITT CALL OUT ACTRESS SELENA GOMEZ FOR CLIP OF HER CRYING OVER TRUMP DEPORTATIONS"Were literally watching history repeat itself," Aaron said.He admitted that there is no way to verify every report but promoted "safeguards" to prevent users from "spamming" the app, such as deleting sightings every four hours, limiting reports to a five-mile radius and restricting report sightings to one every five minutes. Users on the app are anonymous.Aaron added that the app contains a warning to not interact with law enforcement since his goal is not to incite violence."Please note that the use of this app is for information and notification purposes only. It is not to be used for the purposes of inciting violence or interfering with law enforcement," the warning read.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff sees sexual assault lawsuit dismissed in court: reports
    The lawsuit accusing BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff of sexual assault was reportedly dismissed.Retzlaffs attorneys and the woman who accused him of sexual assault in his apartment in November 2023 filed a joint motion on Monday in Salt Lake Citys 3rd District Court to dismiss the case, per multiple reports.The joint motion comes due to "prejudice and upon the merits of the Plaintiffs complaint against the Defendant," which translates to the plaintiff not being able to refile the suit.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThis comes after Retzlaff was reportedly intending to transfer from BYU, as he anticipated a seven-game suspension due to breaking the universitys honor code. Having one year left of eligibility as a graduate student, Retzlaff could move on to make sure he plays a full season before a potential leap into the NFL.BYU is run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and engaging in consensual premarital sex is a violation of the schools honor code. Its a strict set of rules that instructs students to "live a chaste and virtuous life," according to the Salt Lake Tribune.BYU'S JAKE RETZLAFF INTENDS TO TRANSFER AS QB EXPECTS HONOR CODE SUSPENSION AFTER ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS: REPORTWhile Retzlaff is not a Mormon, all students enrolled at BYU must follow the honor code.A woman, who was referred to as Jane Doe A.G., accused Retzlaff of sexual assault in a lawsuit that was filed in May. Retzlaff was being sued for alleged battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress for an alleged incident at his apartment in November 2023.Retzlaff, 22, was not criminally charged.The woman claimed that she met Retzlaff via social media before agreeing to visit him at his apartment to play video games,per ESPN. The original complaint alleged that Retzlaff put his hands around the womans neck and raped her after she attempted to leave his apartment, according to ESPN. However, new filings this past Friday had Retzlaff denying the allegations, claiming the two engaged in consensual sex."Mr. Retzlaff specifically and categorically denies each and every and all allegations that he bit, raped or strangled [the woman], which are ridiculous and bizarre allegations, all of which are false and untrue," Retzlaffs attorneys wrote, via ESPN.Retzlaffs attorneys also accused the woman of extortion, claiming the quarterback never heard from her for more than a year. But, now that he is "an NFL Draft prospect," the lawsuit came out,USA Todayreported, citing Fridays filings.Retzlaff transferred to BYU in 2023, and he led the way in 2024 with an 11-2 record for the Cougars.While the lawsuit is being dismissed, Retzlaff still faces the suspension from BYU as he said in his denial of allegations that he claims they had consensual sex.Its unknown where Retzlaff will transfer, or which teams may be interested in him for this year.Fox News' Paulina Dedaj contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    WNBA star NaLyssa Smith 'sick to my stomach' after unexpected trade to Aces separates her from girlfriend
    WNBA veteran NaLyssa Smith was traded by the Dallas Wings to the Las Vegas Aces, and she was clearly blindsided by the deal after reacting on social media."Sick to my stomach dawg, never seen this coming but.. I love you Dallas nation, thank you 4 everything," she wrote on X after news of the trade came out.It was announced on Monday that the Aces acquired Smith, who has been struggling this year, for a 2027 first-round pick.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Wings have been struggling this year, owning a 1-11 record, and Smith hasnt fared well with her new team. She was averaging 6.7 points and 4.9 rebounds, both career lows, over 18 games.Smith was acquired by the Wings in an offseason trade with the Indiana Fever, as Dallas tried to build a better roster around Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale. Unfortunately, the moves did not pan out, and Dallas was quick to get assets back in return.FEVER MOVE ON FROM 2-TIME WNBA CHAMP DEWANNA BONNER AMID RUMORS OF FRACTURED RELATIONSHIPIts also worth noting that Smith was playing alongside her girlfriend, DiJonai Carrington, who also joined the Wings this offseason. They were teammates previously at Baylor, and have had a relationship ever since.Carrington simply posted a broken-heart emoji on X when the news dropped, followed by a separate post with pictures of herself and Smith on and off the court.Smith, though, followed up her post explaining her shock with some positivity as she headed to Las Vegas."On another note tho [sic] if I couldve chose anywhere to go it wouldve been Vegas so hella excited 4 this new opportunity wit [sic] my goat," Smith wrote on X.While Smith didnt specifically say who she considers her "goat," its a fair guess to say its three-time WNBA MVP and two-time league champion Aja Wilson, who leads the Aces in her eighth season since being taken No. 1 overall out of South Carolina in 2018.Meanwhile, Smith was the No. 2 overall pick by the Fever in 2022, where she made the WNBA All-Rookie first team after averaging 13.5 points and 7.9 rebounds over 30.7 minutes per game. She finished third in WNBA Rookie of the Year voting.For the first time in her career, Smith played less than 20 minutes with Dallas, but perhaps that will change now with Las Vegas.The Aces are currently seventh in the WNBA standings, and fifth in the Western Conference, with an 8-8 record to start the year.Smiths presumed first game with her new squad will be against her former team, as the Fever host the Aces on Thursday night in Indianapolis.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
