    Federal judge blocks Trump's attempt to kill NYC congestion pricing program
    A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily halted the Trump administration's effort to kill New York City's controversial congestion pricing program.U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman issued a temporary restraining order barring the administration from getting rid of the program and withholding federal funding if the city failed to nix the program.NEW YORK CITY URGES JUDGE TO BLOCK TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM ELIMINATING ITS CONGESTION PRICING PROGRAMLimans Tuesday restraining order keeps the tolls in place through at least June 9 and prevents Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy from retaliating against the city.In February, Trump posted an image of himself wearing a crown and wrote, "CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.The program was launched in January, using electronic license plate readers and charging most drivers a $9 toll during peak periods to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street in an attempt to reduce congestion and raise funds to improve mass transit.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SETS DEADLINE FOR NYC TO SHUT DOWN CONTROVERSIAL CONGESTION PRICING TOLLThe city said the program has dramatically reduced congestion on the roadways. There have been about 5.8 million fewer cars than expected in the congestion zone between January and March, or a reduction of about 8% to 13%, officials said.New York City Comptroller Brad Lander said the program was better for businesses, the city's tourism industry and bus and taxi rides.He noted that car crashes, noise complaints and traffic were down.

    American honeymoon hotspot hit by highly contagious illness, health officials warn
    While cases of measles continue to spread throughout the U.S., Hawaii is reporting a new type of infectious spread.Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is on the rise at a "worrying rate" in the Aloha State, the State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) confirmed last week in a news release.As of May 15, there have been 108 cases of pertussis reported, already exceeding the 84 total cases in 2024.CDC REMOVES COVID VACCINE RECOMMENDATION FOR HEALTHY CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMENThe DOH labeled pertussis a "highly contagious respiratory disease" that spreads through the air when an infected individual coughs or sneezes.Symptoms often resemble a cold but can progress to "intense coughing fits."For children, these coughing fits can be followed by a "deep breath" that makes a "whooping" sound."Health complications can be serious and even life-threatening, especially for infants and young children who are not fully vaccinated," the DOH warned.Complications can include pneumonia, seizures, apnea, encephalopathy (a disease of the brain) and death.DOCTORS WARN OF TRIFECTA OF CHRONIC ILLNESSES PLAGUING AMERICANS AFTER MAHA REPORTThe most effective way to prevent pertussis is through vaccination, according to the DOH.The DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine is administered to children under 7 years old and the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine is for older children and adults.Multiple doses are generally recommended for infants, children and adults."High vaccination rates protect individuals and communities and prevent cases from becoming outbreaks," the agency noted."However, vaccination rates for all routinely recommended vaccinations for school entry including those for measles, pertussis, polio and varicella (chickenpox) have declined nationally and in Hawaii since 2019."MEASLES OUTBREAKS EMERGE ACROSS US: SEE WHICH STATES HAVE REPORTED CASESFox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel confirmed that Hawaii is below the national average in terms of childhood vaccines, noting that the DTaP vaccine is "highly effective" in children, with close to 100% protection with appropriate dosages."Pertussis is insidious, and can be easily mistaken for other respiratory diseases, including viruses," Siegel told Fox News Digital."Pertussis, which is a bacteria, can be treated with antibiotics like doxycycline but is easily missed. The best protection is vaccination, including repeated boosters in teens and adults."Siegel explained that the "characteristic whoop" sound among children is caused by clogged airways that are not yet well-developed.IS MMR VACCINE SAFE FOR KIDS? DR. NICOLE SAPHIER ADDRESSES CONCERNS AS MEASLES CASES RISEAbout one-third of babies under 1 year who contract whooping cough are at risk of hospitalization, according to the doctor."The best protection is for everyone around them to be vaccinated," he said. "Pertussis outbreaks are now connected to a drop-off in early childhood vaccination."Neha Pathak, MD, WebMD chief physician editor, echoed that pertussis is "still a significant public health threat," especially for infants and people with weakened immune systems."The DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) vaccine offers strong protection to children about 98 out of 100 children are protected for at least a year after the fifth dose, and about 70% are still protected for up to five years," she said in an interview with Fox News Digital.While vaccines like measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) can provide lifelong protection, pertussis immunity decreases over time, which means boosters are necessary for adolescents and adults, Pathak noted.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"The uptick in pertussis cases is concerning, but not surprising given what we are seeing with vaccine hesitancy," she commented."Pregnant women should also get the Tdap vaccine during their third trimester to pass antibodies to their newborns, protecting them before they can be vaccinated," the doctor suggested.Hawaii confirmed two cases of measles in early April and concluded there was no further community spread.Despite the current situation being under control, the health department warned that measles exposure is still a threat among travelers.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"Measles cases in the United States continue to rise, with more than 1,000 cases already reported across 30 states this year," the department noted."The risk remains high for future travel-related measles cases reaching Hawaii, and DOH recommends continued vigilance and efforts to increase the MMR vaccination rate."The DOH stressed its "strong" recommendation for children and adults to stay up to date with recommended vaccinations for disease prevention.

    Fever coach sees silver lining as Caitlin Clark sidelined with quad injury
    The Indiana Fever hit a roadblock in their quest for a WNBA championship.The team announced on Monday that Caitlin Clark will miss at least two weeks with a quad injury. It will be the first time at either the college or pro level she will miss regular season games due to an injury.However, Fever head coach Stephanie White said there is a silver lining to Clark not being able to play.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I think it's a great opportunity for Caitlin to watch the game from the sideline, to grow in a coaching kind of mindset and see some different things that we might be talking about on film, addressing in practice, to see it develop in live action," White said, via CBS Sports. "As players you see [the game] in a micro viewpoint, and when you're on the sideline, and you're watching it as a whole, you get to see it a different way from a macro viewpoint. I think it's gonna give her a unique perspective, and she's gonna come back better, and it's gonna help us be better.""It is great to grow when you're on the floor, but you also see the game at different levels when you're not on the floor," White added. "You see it at one level or two levels when you're on the floor, and you often [equate] it to being in a coach's mindset, being in a coach's viewpoint. Listening to us and our conversations, whether it's in practice or on the sidelines, talking about what our emphasis is, what we're looking for, and you see it from a different perspective."SPARKS' KELSEY PLUM DELIVERS TAUNT AFTER BLOWING BY SKY'S ANGEL REESE ON LAY UPIt doesn't look like Clark needs much learning. She's already tied for the WNBA record for the most 20-point, 10-assist games in league history and set the record last year for the most assists in a single season.Clark netted a season-high 27 points last Tuesday against the Atlanta Dream. She dropped 20-plus points in each of her first two games before settling for just 11 on Thursday and then 18 on Saturday against the reigning champion New York Liberty.It is unclear when she suffered the injury. She has played each of the Fevers four games to start the season, and Indiana has gone 2-2 to begin the year, and has had at least a double-double in three of those contests.Clark will miss a huge stretch of games for the Fever, beginning with Wednesdays matchup on the road against the Washington Mystics. It is the first of two matchups against Washington.She will also miss games against the Connecticut Sun and the Chicago Sky as well. If all goes well, Clark will be able to return on the road against Atlanta Dream on June 10.Fox News' Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    As summer approaches and many Americans plan to jet-set across the country and world on vacation, the U.S. Department of State is warning travelers to take caution while visiting a popular destination.On May 23, the department reissued a level 2 travel advisory for travel to Italy, urging travelers to "exercise increased caution" due to "terrorism.""There is risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity in Italy," the warning read.The advisory warns that terrorists "may attack with little or no warning" and encourages Americans to be aware of common targets, including tourist spots, transportation centers, shopping malls and markets, local government buildings, hotels, clubs, restaurants, religious sites, parks, sports and cultural events, schools, airports and public areas.STATE DEPT UPGRADES TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR EL SALVADOR, CONSIDERED SAFER THAN FRANCE, OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIESThe travel advisory also emphasized the importance of "staying alert in tourist spots" and "to check local media for breaking news.""Be prepared to adjust your plans and prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations," the advisory read.The department is also encouraging travelers to enroll in theSmart Traveler Enrollment Program(STEP) to receive messages and alerts from the U.S. Embassy, stating it "makes it easier to locate you in an emergency."US WARNS AMERICAN TRAVELERS ABOUT CARIBBEAN ISLAND'S INCREASED DANGER OF 'TERRORISM AND KIDNAPPING'The warning comes as concerns over potential attacks in popular tourist destinations and public areas heighten in Italy, which remains one of the top European destinations for American tourists.In May, the State Department issued travel advisories for 21 countries worldwide, ranging from the lowest level 1, which alerts travelers to "Exercise Normal Precautions," to the highest advisory at level 4, which means "Do Not Travel."Italy has been under a level 2 advisory since April 2022, according to the State Department.France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom also currently have level 2 advisories from the State Department.FBI ISSUES SPRING BREAK TRAVEL WARNING AFTER AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENT'S DISAPPEARANCEThe State Department said they review travel advisories on a regular basis and would update alerts "any time conditions change substantially."Level 1 and 2 advisories are reviewed every 12 months, while levels 3 and 4 are reviewed at least every six months, the department added.A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that there is "no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas.""We take seriously our commitment to provide U.S. citizens with clear, timely, and reliable information about every country in the world so they can make informed travel decisions," a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

    Biden aides considered 'undemocratic' actions to keep cognitive decline hidden, Trump out of power: author
    Alex Thompson, co-author of the recently released expos on former President Joe Biden, told Fox News Sunday that top aides rationalized doing undemocratic things to hide the president's cognitive decline, because failing to do so would have been too beneficial to Donald Trump.During an interview with "Fox News Sunday's" Shannon Bream, Thompson was asked whether any officials close to Biden, such as his cabinet secretaries, expressed remorse for their potential complicity in covering up Biden's health."There was definitely a lot of self-reflection about what if anything they should have done differently," Thompson said."I think there was a feeling like a lot of members of the Democratic Party that were seeing this, or saw moments of [Biden] seeming out of it that going public wasn't going to change his mind. It was only going to help Donald Trump. And I think that's how a lot of them rationalized it."AXIOS' ALEX THOMPSON CALLS DONALD TRUMP'S HEALTH 'FAIR GAME' AFTER BEING 'UNTRANSPARENT' ABOUT RECORDS"Now, whether or not history will judge them as being right for doing that, we will see. But this is also part of the reason why the White House was shielding [Biden] from as many people as possible, including cabinet secretaries."Bream went on to question Thompson about an aide he spoke to who said Biden "just had to win and then could disappear" because Biden's "aides could pick up the slack." Bream described the quote as essentially "admitting" Biden shouldn't be running again.EX-DNC CHAIR CALLS BOOK'S CLAIM THAT BIDEN DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM A 'BOLD FACED LIE'"Who would have been running the White House in a second Biden term?" Bream asked Thompson."Well, this person went on to say, 'When you're voting for president, you're voting for the aides around him.' But these aides were not even Senate confirmed aides - these were White House aides, these were unelected people." Thompson replied. "One of the things that really comes out in our reporting here is that if you believe and I do think a lot of these people do sincerely believe that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things which I think is what this person was talking about."Thompson and CNN's Jake Tapper have been doing the rounds discussing and promoting their new book titled "Original Sin," which has garnered a lot of attention for detailing what critics have said shows Biden's cognitive decline while he was in the White House was even worse than most people suspected.The book has been compounded by other revelations showing Biden's cognitive abilities were likely hidden from the public by those closest to him.

    Washington Post announces another buyout program targeting veteran staffers, other departments
    The Washington Post announced Monday it was implementing another buyout program, this time targeting veteran staffers and other department employees."Today, we are announcing that The Washington Post is offering a Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) to news employees with 10 or more years service at The Post, as well as to all members of the video department and to all members of the copy desk and sports copy desk," Washington Post executive editor Matt Murray wrote in a staff memo obtained by Fox News Digital.The memo stated the move was part of The Washington Post's "ongoing newsroom transformation efforts aimed at reshaping and modernizing the newsroom for the current environment.""Like the rest of our industry, we are adapting to changing habits and new technologies that are transforming news experiences. Even as we have begun creating new departments and welcoming new colleagues, to reach new audiences we must increase our staffing flexibility and expand in areas such as audience data and social video," Murray continued.JEFF BEZOS' TENURE AS WASHINGTON POST OWNER IN SPOTLIGHT AS PAPER GRAPPLES WITH LOW MORALE, STAFFER EXODUSMurray told staff the buyout program would conclude by the end of July."With the VSP, we will no doubt see valued colleagues and friends decide to leave The Post," Murray wrote. "But as stewards of this great institution, we all must remain relentlessly focused on bringing engaging and relevant journalism to growing numbers of readers in the formats and ways they want it in 2025. That is an urgent and important task for us given the pace of technological change, the industrys evolving landscape and the ever-present need to produce and promote strong, rigorous and independent journalism."According to a VSP document viewed by Fox News Digital, nine months of base pay would be given to staffers employed for 10-15 years, 12 months of base pay for 15-20-year veterans, 15 months of base pay for 20-25-year veterans and 18 months for anyone who has worked at the Post for more than 25 years. All of them would also receive 12 months of pay credit in their Separate Retirement Account (SRA).WASHINGTON POST RUDDERLESS AS BEZOS' PAPER ENGULFED BY LAYOFFS, TALENT EXODUS AHEAD OF TRUMP'S SECOND TERMOne Washington Post staffer told Fox News Digital that the new buyout program is "less discerning" than previous rounds of buyouts because of how widespread it is, adding that copy editors are "always targets" and that they're "always underperticipated.""Less important who stays or goes. Just want to get the numbers down," the staffer said.A spokesperson for The Washington Post told Fox News Digital, "The Washington Post is continuing its transformation to meet the needs of the industry, build a more sustainable future and reach audiences where they are. This voluntary program is part of our ongoing efforts aimed at reshaping how we deliver world-class news experiences and expand our reach to serve all Americans."WASHINGTON POST STAFFERS URGE OWNER JEFF BEZOS TO MEET IN SCATHING LETTER: WE ARE DEEPLY ALARMEDThe "Democracy Dies in Darkness" paper was hit with layoffs earlier this year and previously implemented buyouts in 2023. The Post was reportedly expected to lose a whopping $77 million in 2024.There has been an exodus of talent from the Post in recent months, including several resignations following moves made by the paper's billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, who halted the Post's endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris just days before the presidential election and his initiative announced earlier this year, ordering columns regularly defending "personal liberties and free markets" and banning viewpoints that oppose them.

    Wasserman Schultz rejects NY Times report on voters seeing Democrats as 'slow' and 'passive'
    Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., rejected a New York Times report that included research comparing the Democratic Party to "slow" and "passive" animals, telling CNN on Tuesday that she was worried about "human beings.""'Republicans are seen as apex predators like lions, tigers and sharks, beasts that take what they want when they want it. Democrats are typically tagged as tortoises, slugs, or sloths: slow, plodding, passive,'" CNN host John Berman said, quoting a New York Times report that highlighted Democratic researcher Anat Shenker-Osorio's findings on how people view the Democratic and Republican parties."And then a little bit later there was a respondee who said the Democrats are like deer in headlights. How is it that you think that the Democratic Party has earned these descriptions?""Im not focused on the animals that some New York Times reporter compares the political parties to. My constituents are human beings, and the human beings that I represent are facing devastating health care cuts, the most significant health care cuts that have been ever handed down by any administration," Schultz responded.RAHM EMANUEL CALLS DEMOCRAT'S PARTY BRAND WEAK,' APPEARING TO WEIGH WHITE HOUSE RUNThe New York Times reported on Sunday that the party was still struggling with its image after former Vice President Kamala Harris' loss.A Democratic man from Georgia who participated in the focus group and was the one who described the Democratic Party as a "deer in headlights" went further to describe the state of the party."You stand there and you see the car coming, but youre going to stand there and get hit with it anyway," he said, according to the Times.Schultz continued to dismiss the report, reiterating, "I'm focused on the humans I represent, not, you know, animal comparisons."Berman pushed back and said it was voters who likened the party to tortoises, sloths and slugs."John, you said they were asked to compare the parties, so they were prompted to compare the parties to animals. That is ridiculous. Ive watched a lot of focus groups, and I know that the people that I represent want me fighting for the humans, the families that I represent," Schultz responded.LESS THAN 4 MONTHS INTO TRUMP'S 2ND TERM, DEMS ARE ALREADY EYEING THE 2028 RACECLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThe Democratic Party's favorability remains low after President Donald Trump's win. The party's rating stood underwater in an April Fox News national poll at 41% favorable and 56% unfavorable, which is an all-time low for Democrats in Fox News polling.Another poll in March found that just 27% had a positive view of the Democratic Party.

    US judge accuses Trump admin of manufacturing chaos in South Sudan deportations, escalating feud
    A federal judge in Massachusetts chastised senior Trump officials Monday night for failing to comply with his court orders after a group of migrants was deported from the U.S. to South Sudan the latest dust-up centered on deportations, due process protections and the administrations willingness, or lack thereof, to comply with federal courts.In a scathing, 17-page order, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy rejected Trumps request to amend or withdraw the judge's earlier decision requiring them to keep in U.S. custody six migrants who were deported to South Sudan without due process or notice.On Wednesday, Murphy ordered that the migrants remain in U.S. custody at a military base in Djibouti until each of them could be given a "reasonable fear interview," or a chance to explain to U.S. officials any fear of persecution or torture, should they be released into South Sudanese custody.As of Monday night, he said, these interviews had not taken place.SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS TRUMP'S REMOVAL OF BIDEN APPOINTEES FROM FEDERAL BOARDS"It turns out that having immigration proceedings on another continent is harder and more logistically cumbersome than defendants anticipated," Murphy said in his order, noting that the Trump administration is free to return individuals to have the interviews carried out on U.S. soil.He also took aim at Trump officials for attacking the courts, noting Monday night that defendants here have "mischaracterized" the court's order, "while at the same time manufacturing the very chaos they decry."The salvo comes as Murphy, a federal judge in Boston, presides over a class-action lawsuit from migrants who are challenging deportations to third countries, including South Sudan, El Salvador and other countries, including Costa Rica, Guatemala and others that the administration has reportedly eyed in its ongoing wave of deportations.In considering the third-country removals, Murphy stressed that he has attempted to strike a delicate balance between due process protections under the U.S. Constitution and the Trump administration's wave of eleventh-hour removals and deportations.Murphy noted that he allowed the Trump administration to keep the six deported migrants in South Sudan under the custody of U.S. officials, so long as they carry out the so-called "reasonable fear interviews," and make a determination over whether the migrants' concerns were adequate.FEDERAL JUDGES IN NEW YORK AND TEXAS BLOCK TRUMP DEPORTATIONS AFTER SCOTUS RULING"The court never said that defendants had to convert their foreign military base into an immigration facility," Murphy wrote in his order Monday night. "It only left that as an option, again, at defendants request."Murphy also doubled down on his earlier orders as "sensible and conservative," noting that he had repeatedly attempted to strike the right balance in weighing the Trump administration's requests for the men to remain in South Sudan against their right to habeas proceedings and due process under the U.S. Constitution.He also cited DOJ's seemingly fluid position as to what constitutes adequate notice for removals. He said Justice Department attorneys previously told the court that they believe that 24 hours is sufficient and meaningful notice to remove certain migrants, before breaking with that in removing the men to South Sudan.These individuals also do not appear to have any access to counsel. In one case, he said, plaintiffs declared Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had canceled at least one prerescheduled meeting with an attorney and her client."Class members likewise had no opportunity to learn anything about South Sudan, a nascent, unstable country to which the United States has recently told its citizens not to travel because of crime, kidnapping, and armed conflict," Murphy said.'WOEFULLY INSUFFICIENT': US JUDGE REAMS TRUMP ADMIN FOR DAYS-LATE DEPORTATION INFOThe judge's order is the latest attempt by federal courts judges to rein in the Trump administration as it continues to deport migrants to third countries, including El Salvador and South Sudan.U.S. judges have repeatedly ruled that the Trump administration has violated due process by failing to notify the migrants of their imminent removals, or afford them any opportunity to challenge their deportations in court a view reiterated, albeit narrowly, by the Supreme Court four separate times since Trump took office.The judges have repeatedly ordered the Trump administration to facilitate their return to the U.S. To date, the Trump administration has not complied publicly with any of the requests to return the deported individuals.White House officials, meanwhile, have blasted so-called "activist" judges as attempting to enact a political agenda, and have repeatedly rejected the notion that illegal immigrants are not entitled to due process.APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP ADMIN'S DEPORTATION FLIGHTS IN ALIEN ENEMIES ACT IMMIGRATION SUITTrump took aim at what he described as "USA hating judges" in a Truth Social post Monday, arguing that they "suffer from an ideology that is sick and very dangerous for our country."Earlier, he described Murphy as yet another "activist judge" who he said is trying to protect "criminal illegal immigrant monsters.""The court recognizes that the class members at issue here have criminal histories," Murphy wrote in an apparent response to these comments Monday night."But that does not change due process," he wrote. "The court treats its obligation to these principles with the seriousness that anyone committed to the rule of law should understand."Murphy added in his order that the Trump administration is welcome to submit its arguments to the court in writing.But he noted, "From this course of conduct, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than that Defendants invite lack of clarity as a means of evasion."As of Monday, he said, this step had not been completed.
