There was a clash of the titans over the Peoples Princess.Princess Diana not only captivated the public, but she apparently made Hollywood heavyweights weak in the knees. In his new book, "Dianaworld: An Obsession," author Edward White explores how the late Princess of Wales not only rocked the monarchy but also impacted pop culture decades after her death in 1997 at age 36.One story White shared in his book about the "Diana Effect" claims Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere nearly went toe-to-toe over the British royal at Elton Johns house in the '90s. The account in the book came from Johns husband, David Furnish.BILLY CRYSTAL ADMITS HE WOULDNT DATE PRINCESS DIANA AFTER HER REACTION TO MEG RYANS ICONIC MOVIE SCENEFox News Digital reached out to Stallone, 78, and Gere, 75, for comment. When a fan previously asked Stallone about the alleged incident in an old Instagram post, the actor responded, "Complete fabrication," Biography.com reported."Its a story that [also] comes from Eltons autobiography," White told Fox News Digital. "He invited Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere to a house party that Diana was also at. I mean, its Elton John, so probably everyone in the room was like an A-list celebrity or a member of some grand European royal family.""So they turned up," White shared. "According to Elton John, Sylvester Stallone turned up with the intention of picking up Diana, which is wishful thinking in several ways But he did that.""Sylvester Stallone walked in and saw Diana in deep conversation with Richard Gere," White claimed. "He felt that Stallone got angrier and angrier as the evening wore on, because Richard Gere was just dominating. Thats how he felt that he was dominating the conversation with Diana.""At some point, from what Elton John says, Sylvester Stallones emotions got the better of him," White continued. "He then squared up to Richard Gere, and they had to be separated It was these two alpha males squabbling over a woman who neither probably had a chance with, to be honest."John originally shared his account in his 2019 book, "Me." According to the singer, Gere and Diana were deep in conversation in front of the fireplace at his pad, which caused the mood of the party to change.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"As the rest of us chatted, I couldn't help but notice a strange atmosphere in the room," John recalled, as quoted by Biography.com."Judging by the kind of looks he kept shooting them, Diana and Richard Gere's newly blossoming friendship was not going down well with Sylvester Stallone at all. I think he may have turned up to the party with the express intention of picking Diana up, only to find his plans for the evening ruined."WATCH: PRINCESS DIANA'S BALLET TEACHER RECALLS SURPRISE UPTOWN GIRL DANCEJohn wrote, "Straight away, Richard Gere and Diana seemed very taken with each other."According to John, the guests headed over to the dining room to eat. However, Gere and Stallone were noticeably missing. John said he then sent Furnish to find the men."He came back with both of them, but he was wearing a fairly ashen expression," John wrote, noting that Furnish said there was "a situation.""It transpired that hed discovered Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere in the corridor, squaring up to each other, apparently about to settle their differences over Diana by having a fistfight," wrote John, as quoted by the outlet.The outlet shared that Furnish managed to break up the situation in time for dinner.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSJohn, 78, wrote that Diana "seemed completely unruffled" by it all.Tessa Baring of the Barnardos childrens charity claimed that on another occasion, it was clear that Stallone was, like many others, eager to be in Dianas presence.According to Edwards book, Baring described that, during a lunch in London, Stallone "really, really wanted to come and sit next to the Princess of Wales.""We didnt let him do that, but we did let him sit next to a child who was sitting next to the Princess of Wales," said Baring, as quoted by Whites book."Baring remembered the occasion because she thought Diana hit upon an effective way of placating the film star, making the child feel included, and indulging her own desire to find out the latest gossip, by leaning over and asking Stallone questions about his love life as though she were asking them on Tracys behalf: Tracy and I want to know if youre married," wrote White.Stallone and Gere werent the only stars who were reportedly eager to spend a night with the princess.Whites book also described how Freddie Mercury, frontman of Queen, managed to get Diana to sneak out of the palace in disguise and head to "one of Londons most famous gay bars.""There are these stories of royals slipping out among the commoners in disguise, and they have this magical experience because theyre living just like one of us," White told Fox News Digital. "By dressing up in male drag and going out, she felt embraced by a marginalized community. She felt an affinity with them because, rightly or wrongly, she felt like an outsider, and they were very accepting of her.""I also think she took huge pleasure in taking risks," White continued. "It was a huge part of her identity that came back time and time again as I was researching the book. She just took the most incredibly audacious risks. She didnt stop to think twice about things very often But I think she also felt that she was a rolling stone without a real home. And I also think she felt like she wasnt living life properly unless she was taking risks.""You could argue that getting engaged to Prince Charles at age 19, having only met him a few times and not really knowing very much about what was expected of her, was a pretty gigantic gamble," said White. "Maybe one that didnt pay off."In his book, White cited the memoirs of Cleo Rocos, who claimed she spent an evening with Mercury, Diana and Kenny Everett after the princess persuaded her to take her to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Everett warned the princess that the venue was "not for you full of hairy gay men."PRINCESS DIANA RIPPED THE CORSET OUT OF HER MET GALA DRESS, REFUSED TO WEAR PINK, DESIGNER CLAIMS"Diana was insistent, however, so Everett helped her disguise herself in male drag: a camouflage army jacket, hair tucked up into a leather cap and dark aviator sunglasses," Rocos recalled, as quoted by Whites book."Scrutinizing her in the half-light, we decided that the most famous icon of the modern world might just. JUST pass for a rather eccentrically dressed gay male model."White wrote that the disguise worked."It was fabulously outrageous and so bizarrely exciting no one, absolutely no one, recognized Diana."White wrote that the group reportedly stayed for one drink and left. Diana quietly returned to Kensington Palace and sent back Everetts clothes the next day.

On border security, support for Israel and diplomacy with President Donald Trump, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has bucked the Democratic Party on key issues since assuming office in 2022.A string of media reports emerged this month detailing Fetterman's alleged cognitive decline and waning support within the Democratic Party. A New York Magazine report sparked questions about Fetterman's mental stability. Subsequent reports by the Associated Press, detailing an outburst during a union meeting, and by Politico, which indicated he is losing traction among Pennsylvania Democrats, were slammed by several of his Capitol Hill colleagues as a coordinated smear campaign.In an era of partisan politics, Fetterman has embraced bipartisanship with newly elected Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa. When McComrick was elected in November, the Pennsylvanians traded jabs for joint dinners as Fetterman built his reputation for being willing to reach across the aisle. Fetterman also met with Trump's controversial Cabinet picks and worked with Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., to pass the Laken Riley Act this year.While Fetterman, who suffered a stroke during his 2022 Senate campaign, shut down questions about his mental fitness amid the relentless reports, it's not the first time a Democrat has been targeted after falling out of line with the party.LEAKS TO MEDIA ABOUT FETTERMAN ARE A COORDINATED SMEAR CAMPAIGN, HILL COLLEAGUES SAYSen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., faced the ire of the Democratic Party earlier this year when he joined Fetterman in voting to pass the Republicans' spending bill and avoid a government shutdown. Schumer, currently Senate minority leader, was slammed by progressive Democrats while the future of party leadership hangs in the balance.DEMOCRATIC SENATOR SAYS THERE NEEDS TO BE SPACE FOR FETTERMAN IN PARTY AS REPUBLICANS COME TO HIS DEFENSEFormer Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., was once a Democrat but later registered as an independent. While she continued to caucus with her party, Sinema ruffled liberal feathers by opposing efforts to eliminate the filibuster rule and opposed former President Joe Bidens "Build Back Better" plan.In 2022, Sinema said she was leaving the party, adding that "nothing will change about my values or my behavior."Sinema became the first senator to switch parties since the late Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter then Republican famously announced that "my change in party will enable me to be re-elected" in 2009.Soon after Sinema came now-former West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin. Long seen as a moderate thorn in the side of the increasingly liberal Democrats, Manchin often clashed with his former party on environmental issues, given the Mountain States reliance on the fossil fuel industry.Things came to a head in Charleston when then-Gov. Jim Justice held up his bulldog Babydog backward in the legislative chamber and told actress Bette Midler who had trashed the state over one of Manchins such votes to "kiss her heinie."Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard was once considered a rising star in the Democratic Party until her comments and behavior drew the ire of party elders like Hillary Clinton. The anti-interventionist Gabbard, who had appeared in the Moscow media, was anonymously slammed by Clinton in 2019 when she said that "somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary" was a "favorite of the Russians." An advisor later said Gabbard was the figure in question.Since then, Gabbard has gone on to make a full partisan 180, becoming a member of President Donald Trumps Cabinet.During Rep. Nancy Pelosis, D-Calif., historic speakership, another Democrat famously bucked the party and ultimately retired soon after trying to proverbially oust the queen.North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler became disaffected by the liberal progression of the party and mounted an unsuccessful challenge to Pelosis leadership role after Democrats suffered massive losses in the 2010 midterms.Shuler, a former then-Washington Redskins quarterback, had been the leader of the moderate Blue Dog Democrat caucus when he took aim at the speakership.Fetterman's office did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for his first major overseas trip since retaking office, hoping to secure major deals on trade and diplomatic breakthroughs across the Middle East.The president might have an unexpected and willing partner in Syrias new president who could offer him a huge diplomatic win."This is a historic opportunity, and it would be a shame if the U.S. lost it," Natasha Hall, senior fellow with the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), told Fox News Digital.President Trump seems open to renewed relations with Syria, including the possibility of lifting crippling sanctions imposed under the previous regime of Bashar al-Assad.ISLAMIST GROUP RUNNING SYRIA HAS MIXED RECORD OVER GOVERNANCE IN PROVINCE, RULED WITH 'IRON FIST'"We may take them off of Syria, because we want to give them a fresh start," President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday.The president added that "we want to see if we can help them out" and that a determination on Syria sanctions will be made at some point."Syria now, for the first time, has a government in power that is not only no longer reliant on Iran to survive but is quite hostile to Iran, and so that would be a big opportunity lost if the U.S. didnt step up," Hall added.Mouaz Moustafa, executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, a non-profit helping to bring democracy to Syria, recently met with Syria's interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Damascus.Moustafa exclusively told Fox News Digital that the two spoke for over three hours about a potential breakthrough in U.S.-Syrian relations, which have been severed since 2011 following the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, which led to the deaths of over 500,000 people.Moustafa and others are pushing for a meeting between al-Sharaa and President Trump during his visit to the Gulf this week. For Syrias new government, this will be their opportunity to persuade the new administration to do business with a country coming out of a devastating 14-year civil war and mend ties with a leader who was once aligned with the Islamic State and al Qaeda."Syrias objectives are quite clear on why they would want to meet President Trump in Saudi Arabia, to make headway on some of these core issues of cooperation and to alleviate any of the concerns the White House may have. And some of the things theyve been trying to do is to show that they can be cooperative on intelligence issues, on business, and talking about companies seeking to do business in Syria," CSIS Hall said.SYRIA'S NEW REGIME HITS HEZBOLLAH TARGETS IN LEBANON OVER CLAIMS ITS FIGHTERS WERE EXECUTEDYet others urge caution. "Right now, Sharaa is not restricting political and civil liberties, but he's an authoritarian by nature." former U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford told Fox News Digital.Ford, who was the last U.S. ambassador in Damascus, was pulled from the embassy in October 2011 after the Syrian uprising turned violent. Ford led the effort to put al-Sharaa on the terrorist list in 2012 and said, although he is pragmatic, he is leading an extremely weak government."He doesnt control all of Syria yet. The government in Damascus that he leads is not very strong, and it will take time to reassert all of its authority over Syria," Ford said.Ford does not believe al-Sharaa will pursue terrorism as he did in the past, but while there have been some promising developments since taking power, the U.S. must keep its expectations relatively low."Syria is so weak, militarily and economically, with lots of internal political divisions. Therefore, it's not going to be in a position to sign huge arrangements with the U.S.," Ford cautioned.A senior official in the Syrian Foreign Ministry told Fox News Digital that President al-Sharaa emphasizes "that the new Free Syria seeks to establish a strong strategic relationship with the United States, one grounded in mutual interests and shared partnership."The senior official added that "Damascus sees U.S. President Donald Trump as the leader most capable of achieving peace in the Middle East," noting that Syria hopes to become an active and influential ally to Washington on regional issues.Moustafa also met with members of the National Security Council and conveyed the Syrian president's desire for a new partnership.The National Security Council did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.The new Syrian leader has already shown a willingness to cooperate on some key issues important to the U.S. The new Syrian government has cooperated with U.S. intelligence agencies and foiled several ISIS plots to attack Damascus. Syrian intelligence services also arrested ISIS commander Abu al-Harith al-Iraqi in February.TRUMP TARGETS MASSIVE INVESTMENTS IN FIRST MIDDLE EAST TRIPMoustafa also said that al-Sharaa was worried about the massive buildup of Iranian-backed militias along the Iraqi side of the Syrian border. This is a worry for the U.S. as well as the Trump administration, he said, as it has been looking to reengage with Iran to curb its nuclear program.In al-Sharaas eyes, the deal of the century would bring peace to Syria and its neighbors, including Israel. Moustafa added the deal would keep China, Russia and Iran out and allow U.S. troops to go home in the right way.Yet critics warn a potential deal with the United States is not without its obstacles.Al-Sharaa led the Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to victory over the Assad dictatorship in December. He had a $10 million bounty for his capture that was lifted in February amidst the administrations efforts to talk to the new Syrian government.CHRISTIAN WATCH GROUP RISES UP TO PROTECT COMMUNITY AMID GROWING VIOLENCE IN SYRIAHTS is still a designated foreign terrorist organization, which complicates doing business in Syria."The question at hand is whether to believe that a change in behavior, following the fall of the regime, translates into a more permanent change in character, ideology, and governance," Caroline Rose, director of The New Lines Institute, told Fox News Digital.Rose, who recently traveled to Syria, noted that while HTS has been incrementally breaking away from affiliations with terrorist organizations and has adopted some moderate elements over time, there are still doubts that this will "stick," particularly with recent sectarian tensions."Skeptics of lifting restrictions on Syria immediately fear that any move could be too premature and could risk the U.S. credibility among its regional counterparts," Rose added.Since becoming president, al-Sharaa has formed a transitional government composed of close allies from the HTS rebel group and a mix of technocrats, former opposition leaders, civil society activists and even some former members of the Assad government.The temporary constitution signed by al-Sharaa in March guarantees basic freedoms such as freedoms of opinion, expression and the press. It also protects womens rights and promises equal rights for all Syrians regardless of ethnicity, religious sect or gender, yet it still leaves the country under Islamist rule during the transitional process.There remain some concerns over the power concentrated in the hands of the president. The president can unilaterally declare a state of emergency and suspend basic rights if national security is threatened.The vast powers granted to the executive in the new constitution is a reminder for many Syrians of the authoritarian past many suffered at the hands of the Assad regime for over 50 years.Although there is a new sense of optimism within Syrian society about its future, civil peace and security remain elusive.Deadly sectarian clashes in March launched by remnants of the former Assad regime in Syrias coastal region led to the deaths of 200 members of the security forces. Forces allied with the government and armed civilians responded with brute force. The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that these groups were responsible for the deaths of at least 396 people.Tensions have also escalated with Syrias Druze population as well, highlighting the delicate balance of Syrias complex ethnic divides and the new authoritys ability to control various armed factions.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Dallas Mavericks had a 1.8% chance of winning the NBA Draft Lottery going into the ordeal on Monday; they defied the odds and ended the day with the No. 1 overall pick.The prize for any team was going to be former Duke Blue Devils star Cooper Flagg. He is considered one of the best young basketball players since before he even entered the collegiate ranks.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFor the Mavericks, luck was on their side. Dallas made the shocking move to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in February for Anthony Davis. The team still made the play-in tournament and competed to be one of the eight teams to challenge for the NBA title.The NBA world was left dumbfounded that the Mavericks were able to get the top pick. Basketball fans spoke of "conspiracy" while LeBron James and Kevin Love added their own reactions to the fray.Mavericks CEO Rick Welts was in charge of the draft lottery when the New York Knicks received the No. 1 pick in 1985 in what theories suggested was "rigged." He said he spent four years debunking those theories and will likely need to debunk the 2025 lottery as well.A HISTORY OF NBA DRAFT LOTTERY LEAPS: WHERE DO THE MAVERICKS RANK ALL-TIME?"I'm the only person who was in this room and the room 40 years ago," Welts said, via The Washington Post. "I was in charge of the NBA draft lottery 40 years ago when Patrick Ewing won. I've been doing conspiracy theory stories ever since. This is very surreal, personally."However, Welts was excited about the opportunity to select Flagg.The San Antonio Spurs received the No. 2 pick, the Philadelphia 76ers will pick third and the Charlotte Hornets will have the fourth pick.After Flagg, the two top prospects were considered to be freshmen from the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Rapper Tory Lanez was hospitalized after an attack Monday at a California prison where he's serving a 10-year sentence for shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion in the feet, authorities said.Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was attacked at a housing unit at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, at about 7:20 a.m., Pedro Calderon Michel, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said in an email.Michel did not specify how Lanez was attacked, but a message posted on the rapper's Instagram account Monday evening said Lanez was stabbed 14 times and both his lungs collapsed. The post said Lanez is breathing on his own.MEGAN THEE STALLION SHOOTER TORY LANEZ SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON"Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through," the post said, adding Lanez was stabbed in his back, torso, head and face.Staff immediately gave Lanez medical aid and called 911, and he was taken to an outside hospital, Michel said. The prison's investigative unit and the Kern County District Attorney's Office are investigating, he said.The prison is about 100 miles north of Los Angeles in the mountains of the Mojave Desert and houses about 1,700 medium- and maximum-security inmates.In December 2022, Lanez was convicted of three felonies: assault with a semiautomatic firearm; having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.Megan, whose legal name is Megan Pete, testified during the trial that in July 2020, after they left a party at Kylie Jenners Hollywood Hills home, Lanez fired the gun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which they had been riding.KIM KARDASHIAN PARIS ROBBERY TRIAL BRINGS STAR FACE TO FACE WITH ALLEGED GUNMEN IN MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR HEISTShe had bullet fragments in both feet that had to be surgically removed. It wasn't until months after the incident that she publicly identified Lanez as the person who had fired the gun.A judge rejected a motion for a new trial from Lanezs lawyers, who are appealing his conviction. They did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Megan recently alleged that Lanez was harassing her from prison through surrogates, and in January a judge issued a protective order through 2030 ordering him to stop any such harassment or any other contact.The 32-year-old Canadian Lanez began releasing mixtapes in 2009 and saw a steady rise in popularity, moving on to major label albums, two of which reached the top 10 on Billboard's charts.The case created a firestorm in the hip-hop community, churning up issues including the reluctance of Black victims to speak to police, gender politics in hip-hop, online toxicity, and the ramifications of misogynoir, a particular brand of misogyny Black women experience.The often dramatic trial was packed with friends and family members of Lanez who felt he was a victim of both the justice system and the powerful people around Megan, who is managed by Jay-Z's Roc Nation.When the verdict was announced, Lanez's father, Sonstar Peterson, jumped up and angrily denounced prosecutors and the system before he was dragged from the chaotic courtroom where many in the audience were shouting similar things. He later apologized to the judge.Megan Thee Stallion, 30, was already a major rising star at the time of the shooting, and her musics popularity has soared since. She won a Grammy for best new artist in 2021, and she had No. 1 singles with "Savage," featuring Beyonc, and as a guest on Cardi Bs "WAP."

To help out, here are a few answers to the most commonly asked questions consumers have when buying a new grill.When choosing between different grills, you'll want to start by deciding if you'd like an electric grill, a charcoal grill, a grill that runs off propane or a wood-fired grill. The grill that causes the least amount of a hassle is an electric grill. All you need to do is plug it in, and you're good to go; just note that they're not usually as powerful as other options.Gas grills are easy to use, too, as long as you have somewhere close by that sells propane tanks (any gas station or grocery store should have them). Charcoal and wood-fired grills are going to give you that intense grill flavor, but you need to constantly find a place to get rid of charcoal or ash.To keep your grill grates clean, you should clean them after each use. Grill brushes help you easily clean your grill. There are a wide variety of grill brush options, but you generally want to avoid wire bristle brushes that often shed their bristles, which can get lodged in your food. Go with a steam-clean brush or a bristle-free scrubbing brush.With proper care, grills can last more than 10 years. The quality of your grill depends on the brand and price range you choose, but in general, cleaning your grill regularly helps it last longer. You should also bring your grill inside during the winter months, and keep it covered when it's raining.Grills range in size, but a common choice is a three-to-four-burner grill, typically around 400 to 500 square feet. This size grill provides enough cooking space to feed an average-sized family, or multiple rounds of people during a family barbecue.

House Republicans are moving to put stricter work requirements on food stamps in a bid to cut government waste and find taxpayer savings for President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill."Cobbling the vast piece of legislation together takes coordination by 11 different House committees, each working on a portion of it under their panel's jurisdiction.The portion released on Monday night would raise the upper age limit for work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), from certain able-bodied adults up to age 54 to those up to age 64.Whereas the current rules exempt people with dependents under age 18, the new provision would now include SNAP recipients with children above age 7 who otherwise qualify for work requirements.BROWN UNIVERSITY IN GOP CROSSHAIRS AFTER STUDENT'S DOGE-LIKE EMAIL KICKS OFF FRENZYThe House Agriculture Committee, which oversees federal food programs in addition to America's farmers, was tasked with finding $230 billion in spending cuts out of a sum total of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion dollars cuts that conservatives had demanded to offset the cost of Trump's other priorities."For far too long, the SNAP program has drifted from a bridge to support American households in need to a permanent destination riddled with bureaucratic inefficiencies, misplaced initiatives, and limited accountability," Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., said in a statement."This portion of the One Big, Beautiful Bill restores the program's original intent, offering a temporary helping hand while encouraging work, cracking down on loopholes exploited by states, and protecting taxpayer dollars while supporting the hardworking men and women of American agriculture."The legislation also would eventually have the states cover some SNAP costs. Currently, the federal government fully covers SNAP costs for all 50 states and half the states' administrative costs to run it.ANTI-ABORTION PROVIDER MEASURE IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' COULD SPARK HOUSE GOP REBELLIONThe new bill would impose a 5% baseline benefit cost share for all states, beginning in 2028. States with higher rates of erroneous payments would pay more as well.It would also lower the "match rate" for which the government reimburses states for those administrative costs, from 50% to 25%.Fox News Digital first reported in late February that Republicans were looking to heighten work requirements for food stamps via reconciliation, when similar legislation was introduced by Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., a member of the Agriculture panel.House and Senate Republicans are working on advancing Trump's agenda via the budget reconciliation process this year.Reconciliation allows the party controlling both houses of Congress and the White House to move a massive piece of legislation, provided it addresses budgetary matters like spending, taxes or the national debt.It makes that possible by lowering the Senate's passage threshold from 60 votes to 51, lining up with the House's own simple majority threshold meaning Democrats are completely sidelined in the process.Trump wanted Republicans to craft a bill advancing his priorities on the border, immigration, taxes, energy, defense and raising the debt limit.The House Agriculture Committee, along with two other top committees, are advancing their own portions of the bill on Tuesday.When that is done, all 11 House committees that have crafted individual reconciliation pieces will put them together into a massive bill, identical versions of which must pass the House and Senate before reaching Trump's desk.House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said he wants the House to finish its portion of the effort by Memorial Day.

NCAA President Charlie Baker said Monday he was "up for anything" when asked about reports that President Donald Trump is set to create a commission on college sports.The presidential commission would tackle issues the college sports landscape faces with former Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban and billionaire Cody Campbell leading it, Yahoo Sports reported last week.LICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I think the fact that there's an interest on the executive side on this, I think it speaks to the fact that everybody is paying a lot of attention right now to what's going on in college sports," Baker said, via the Raleigh News & Observer. "There is a lot going on, thats not all bad, and Im up for anything that helps us get somewhere."Commissioners of the top conferences in the NCAA have already asked Congress to step in to help the NCAA regulate name, image and likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal.Greg Sankey, Jim Phillips, Tony Petitti and Brett Yormark were on Capitol Hill last month. Yormark, the Big 12 commissioner, bluntly admitted to Bret Baier on "Special Report," "We need help from Congress.""From where I sit today, federal preemption, having a standardized platform that oversees and governs NIL is critically important," Yormark said. "Today, 34 states see it very differently, and its relatively unruly."CHARLES BARKLEY CALLS NCAA A 'BUNCH OF IDIOTS AND FOOLS' AMID CURRENT NIL LANDSCAPE"The volume of laws that are being passed on a state level are making it really difficult for us to regulate and compete nationally," Petitti added. "Every single time someone doesnt like a ruling, or something comes from the NCAA, we end up in litigation. Those rules then get aggregated, and were back to the start."Were hopeful that the combination of what weve done in the settlement will give us an opportunity, with some help from Congress, to really put a system in a place that has some stability."Weve crossed the bridge of being willing to provide revenue but we need to have some structure. We cant have a system that has complete unregulated movement."It is unclear when the commission would be finalized.The NCAA and collegiate athletes have waited for the $2.8 billion House settlement to be approved. It will allow schools to share revenue with athletes directly for the use of their NIL.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FIRST ON FOX:As Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders continues to travel around the country on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, while at the same time defending his use of private jets to do so, an energy watchdog group has calculated the true scope of the carbon emissions his flights have emitted.During the 16 stops of the tour, which Sanders embarked on with the help of progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, his private jet emitted a total of 62.15 tonnes, or metric tons, of carbon dioxide, according to an estimate from Power the Future.To put that in perspective, Power the Future said in a press release that the emissions equate to burning 62,600 pounds of coal, driving a gas-powered SUV 150,000 miles, powering every home in Sanders hometown of Burlington, Vermont, for weeks, and powering nine U.S. homes for an entire year.Power the Future also calculated that Sanders generated more carbon dioxide emissions on this single tour than the average American produces in five years. Additionally, the group says that the emissions undo the carbon-capturing work of nearly 2,900 trees over the course of a year.JAMES CARVILLE AND DEMOCRATIC REP CALL OUT ILHAN OMAR, SAY PARTY NEEDS TO PRAISE GREATNESS OF USA"Sen. Sanders has voted for legislation punishing people for their carbon footprint and threatening fossil fuel executives with prison for climate change hysteria, but his personal actions demonstrate hes just another limousine liberal, a fake socialist, unwilling to live what he wants to impose on you," Dan Turner, Power the Future founder and executive director, told Fox News Digital."The climate movement is dead, and Bernie Sanders hypocrisy helped kill it."Sanders, in a recent interview with Fox News,refused to apologize for his private jet travel and argued that oftentimes it is not possible or feasible to fly commercially.SEN BERNIE SANDERS: WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT OF BILLIONAIRES, BY BILLIONAIRES AND FOR BILLIONAIRES"That's the only way to get around," Sanders told Bret Baier. "No apologies for that. That's what campaign travel is about. We've done it in the past. We're gonna do it in the future.""You run a campaign, and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. [It is] the only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people. You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at Unitedwhile 30, 000 people are waiting?"Power the Future noted that one of the private jet flights taken by Sanders was from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, a route that offers more than a dozen commercial flights per day.Sanders' campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, spent over $221,000 chartering private jets during the first quarter of 2025, according to Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by Fox News Digital and first reported by The Washington Free Beacon. The filing, which was released last month, shows that Sanders dropped the massive haul between three private jet companies: Ventura Jets, Cirrus Aviation Services and N-Jet.Last month, Fox News Digital exclusively reported that Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez were spotted using a private jet worth up to a staggering $15,000 an hour for several West Coast stops on their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour."Champagne socialists Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demand Americans surrender their pick-up trucks, air conditioning and meat from the luxe leather seats of their private jets that cost more per hour than most Americans earn in months. Their hypocrisy is staggering," National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen told Fox News Digital at the time.Fox News Digital reached out to Sanders' office for comment.
