WWW.FOXNEWS.COMUnearthed social media posts expose radical anti-Israel views of Mamdani's dad: 'Colonial occupation'FIRST ON FOX: Mahmood Mamdani, the Columbia University professor and father of New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, has a social media presence littered with anti-Israel comments and praise for radical activists, a Fox News Digital review found.Mamdani, 79, who Fox News Digitalpreviously reported sits on the advisory council of an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts and sanctions of Israel, has posted on his X account about Israel on multiple occasions using terms like "settlers" and "colonialism.""When all ranks of the Occupation, from the armed settler to the settler state, claim 'the right of self-defense', what language is left for those who defend themselves against the Occupation but the right to resist?," Mamdaniposted online on May 21, 2021 as Israel was involved in a violent conflict with Hamas.Earlier that month, Mamdani wrote, "The resistance this time began in Jerusalem and spread to Gaza, now the West Bank and Palestinian communities beyond. This is not a conflict between Israel and Hamas. We are witnessing something far more meaningful, the birth of the Third Intifadah against settler colonialism!."MAMDANI CAMP SILENT WHEN CONFRONTED WITH CALLS TO 'RADICALIZE' HIGH SCHOOLERS, 'DISMANTLE' USCalls for a third intifada or a "global intifada", which Zohran Mamdanirecently drew heat from Jewish groups for refusing to condemn, is widely considered by many in the Jewish community as condoning violence against Israel."Palestinians have a right to resist," Mamdanisaid in another post. "This is a colonial occupation, not a conflict!"RESURFACED MAMDANI PHOTO SPARKS SOCIAL MEDIA FIRESTORM, OUTRAGE FROM KEY VOTING BLOC: 'SHAMEFUL'In October 2014, Mamdaniposted a "tribute" to African political activist Ali Mazrui, who Mamdani once co-hosted a panel alongside,according to Middle East Forum.Mazrui has a long track record of controversial statements about Jews including suggesting they had "a certain kind of impurity" likening them to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and saying theyve "landed with Mr. Hydes evil identity," Middle East Forumreported.Past statements on Israel from both Zohran and Mahmood Mamdani have been a focus of the mayoral race with various Jewish groups speaking out and accusing the pair of antisemitism, a charge that Mamdani has pushed back against.Mahmood, a professor of anthropology at New Yorks Columbia University, which has been at the epicenter of the pro-Palestine protests in the U.S. Canary Mission, calls Mahmood a "Marxist" professor who is "known for his anti-Israel views and obsession with colonialism."Mahmood was also one of the Columbia faculty members who donned an orange vest and locked arms in attempts to keep Avi Weinberg, an economics student at Columbia, and a small group of Jewish classmates from entering a pro-Palestine encampment on Columbias campus during the anti-Israel protests following the October 7th Hamas massacre."Zohran Mamdani has built his political brand on the same radical, hate-filled and anti-American ideology his father, Mahmood Mamdani, has spent decades promotingone that demonizes Jewish people and legitimizes anti-democratic violence," Brooke Goldstein, a human rights attorney who specializes in antisemitism, told Fox News Digital."The Jew-hatred the Mamdani family peddles is fundamentally anti-American and violates the core values our country was founded ontolerance, equality, and liberty. Our nations strength lies in its diversity and commitment to protecting minority rights. Antisemitic world views threaten the peace and security of our communities."Goldstein told Fox News Digital that Mahmood Mamdani's "dangerous worldview doesnt belong anywhere in American public life.""It is also a window on anti-Jewish and anti-democratic radicalization that poisons our young, corrupts their minds and steals their souls," Goldstein continued. "If Zohran Mamdani cantor wontdisavow these beliefs, we have every reason to be alarmed. We dont need anti-American racist Jew-haters in government. We need leaders who protect all of usnot divide us, or worse, decide which among us are worth protecting."Fox News Digital reached out to Mahmood Mamdani and the Mamdani campaign for comment.Fox News Digital's Peter Pinedo contributed to this report0 Comments 0 Shares 15 Views 0 Reviews

DeJoy, which he said clarified that employers are required to demonstrate substantial increased costs to deny a reasonable religious accommodation request.UTAH BATH & BODY WORKS MANAGER SAYS SHE WAS FIRED OVER COMPANY'S PRONOUN POLICYHe wrote that agencies are encouraged to "adopt a generous approach to approving religious accommodations, prioritizing employee needs while maintaining operational efficiency.""Further, Federal agencies must adhere to the requirements of Title VII and the Groffclarification of the undue hardshipstandard when addressing religious accommodation requests," Kupor wrote.He said that religious accommodations could include telework, religious compensatory time off, flexible work schedules and various other forms of paid and unpaid time off.MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL OFFICIALS UNDER FIRE FOR WORKING TO BAN RELIGIOUS GROUPS FROM RENTING FACILITIESKupor cited an executive order signed by Trump in May that made it a top priority to ensure that all executive agencies "honor and enforce the Constitutions guarantee of religious liberty" and end "any form of religious discrimination by the Federal Government."Trump wrote in the executive order that "it shall be the policy of the executive branch to vigorously enforce the historic and robust protections for religious liberty enshrined in Federal law."Kupor said that in addition to the presidents guidance, "it is in the interest of the Federal government to recruit and retain highly-qualified employees of faith.""Religious liberty is foundational," Kupor said in a statement to Fox News Digital.FBI TO PROBE CLAIMS OF 'TARGETED VIOLENCE' AGAINST RELIGIOUS GROUPS AFTER EVANGELICALS' PROTEST IN SEATTLE"No federal employee should be forced to choose between their faith and their federal service," he said. "This guidance ensures agencies meet their legal obligations and treat these requests with the seriousness they deserve."In a statement sent to Fox News Digital, OPM clarified that "even as agencies enforce in-person work requirements," this memo reaffirms that "reasonable religious accommodations are protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and must be provided consistent with law."0 Comments 0 Shares 15 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMIran's leader threatens 'even bigger blow' against US, Trump says he's in no rush to talkIranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday issued his latest threat against the U.S. and "its dog on a leash, the Zionist regime [Israel]" as nations urge nuclear negotiations but eye sanctions options."The fact that our nation isreadyto face the power of the United States and its dog on a leash, the Zionist regime, is very praiseworthy," Khamenei saidin comments translated by Reuters to state TV.Khamenei went on to claim that last months attack on the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar was just the beginning of what Tehran could throw at Washington and warned that "an even bigger blow could be inflicted on the U.S. and others."IRAN VOWS RETALIATION IF UN SECURITY COUNCIL ISSUES SNAPBACK SANCTIONS ON ANNIVERSARY OF NUCLEAR DEALWhile the U.S. has assessed that Irans nuclear program has been set back by up to two years following its strikes on the Fordow atomic site in June which followed a series of strikes issued by Israel on Tehrans nuclear and military sectors much of Irans missile capabilities remain intact.It is unclear the exact extent that Irans missile and drone program was degraded after the Israeli strikes targeted its stockpiles and launching capabilities, but security experts have warned Tehrans missile and drone programs remain a "significant" threat.Israel has estimated that even after its strikes, Iran likely still possesses some 1,500 medium-range ballistic missiles and 50% of its launching capabilities, reported Bill Roggio, senior fellow and editor of Foundation for Defense of Democracies' (FDD) "Long War Journal."Similarly, Iranian expert Behnam Ben Taleblu told Fox News Digital that "Post strikes, the program still exists and, despite being handicapped, poses a significant regional threat."IRAN CLAIMS ITS PRESIDENT WAS INJURED IN ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE LAST MONTH"This is especially true at shorter distances since Irans single-stage solid fuel short-range ballistic are much more precise," Ben Taleblu, senior director of the FDD's Iran program, said. "This means that in another iteration of an Israel-Iran-America conflict, the chances of retaliatory strike on U.S. regional bases remains high."Khameneis threats followed similar warnings by other top Iranian officials as western nations mull reinforcing snapback sanctions if Washington is unable to make headway on nuclear negotiations "by the end of the summer."President Donald Trump has said he is committed to continuing talks with Iran to avoid further military action, but on Tuesday evening, he told reporters hes "in no rush to talk" despite the ever-looming deadline for when a deal needs to be reached.Security experts have told Fox News Digital that snapback sanctions pose their own risk as the measure could prompt Iran to withdraw from the worlds largest nuclear agreement the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which some 190 nations have signed on to."A sustainable and verifiable diplomatic solution that addresses the security interests of the international community is essential," the German Foreign Ministry confirmed for Fox News Digital this week. "If such a solution is not achieved by the end of the summer, the snapback mechanism will remain an option for the E3."We continue to coordinate closely with our E3 partners on this issue," the ministry added in reference to the European nations that signed the 2015 nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which are France, Germany and the U.K.0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMSpeaker Johnson reveals Musk left MAGA ally's lengthy text hanging in 'the ether' after Trump blowupHouse Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that a lengthy text he sent Elon Musk amid his feud with President Donald Trump earlier in 2025 was delivered "into the ether" after the tech billionaire allegedly changed his cellphone number after spatting with the president."I sent him a long text message, and then his phone number changed, because after the blow-up, something happened with his " Johnson, R-La., told New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her podcast published Wednesday before trailing off that he realized the number was no longer a direct line to Musk."I got the number later and realized I was sending it out into the ether somewhere and he never read it," he continued. "So I look forward to meeting with him in person. We got to make that right. I've got nothing against Elon, obviously. I've got great respect for what he's done."High-profile individuals such as celebrities and billionaires are known to frequently change their cell phone numbers out of privacy and security concerns.Johnson said that before the spat, he had met with and sent other "long text messages" to keep Musk in the loop on the big, beautiful bill.MIKE JOHNSON SAYS HE HOPES TRUMP, MUSK 'RECONCILE' AMID ONGOING FEUDMusk and Trump's previously tight relationship fell to tatters in May, as Trump promoted the passage of his One Big, Beautiful Bill Act. Musk served as the public leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, which works to strip the federal government of overspending, corruption and mismanagement, as a special government employee a job position that permits an individual to work for the federal government for "no more than 130 days in a 365-day period."Musk's tenure ran dry at the end of May, and was shortly followed by the tech billionaire behind massive companies such as SpaceX and Tesla launching a campaign on X in an attempt to rally Republican lawmakers to vote against the legislation, slamming it for increasing the U.S. debt ceiling by $5 trillion.FLASHBACK: MUSK ACCUSED TRUMP, GOP LEADERS OF NOT WANTING TO CUT SPENDING HERE'S WHERE THEY SAID THEY WOULDTrump argued Musk publicly condemning the legislation was actually rooted in the president axing electric vehicle mandates and subsidies, which impacts Musk's Tesla company. On June 12, Trump signed a trio of congressional resolutions ending California's restrictive rules for diesel engines and mandates on electric vehicle sales, with Trump celebrating that his signature "will kill the California mandates forever."Musk has since said he intends to launch a new political party to counter Republicans and Democrats.Johnson continued in his interview on Devine's podcast that he did get a response back from Musk through a third-party after realizing the tech billionaire had seemingly changed his phone number.REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS STAND FIRM AGAINST MUSK'S 'KILL THE BILL' ASSAULT ON TRUMP'S AGENDAJohnson said "a multitude of factors" likely caused the rift, but that Musk was aware of the contents in the big, beautiful bill before its final stages this spring and summer after months of lawmakers ironing out provisions in the legislation.HERE'S THE MONEY PEOPLE IN EACH STATE COULD POCKET UNDER TRUMP'S 'BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL' SAVINGS"But clearly, (Musk) got unhappy in a very short period of time," Johnson said. "I mean, he generally knew what we were doing, and we talked about it. I mean, he knew for months, many months we worked on this, and I was keeping him apprised of it.""But I'll let other people judge that," he added. "Ive got to keep my eyes on the prize and keep going forward, and Im trying to be a peacemaker in all of it."Trump signed the legislation into law on the Fourth of July, touting that its tax cuts will make the U.S. economy similar to a "rocket ship" as Americans begin feeling its effects.Fox News Digital attempted to reach Musk, as well as emailed Johnson's office, for additional comment on the matter, but did not immediately receive replies.0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTikTok influencer's husband faces possible felony charge after son's tragic pool accidentBrady Kiser, the husband of social media influencer Emilie Kiser, may face a felony child abuse charge in connection to the Arizona drowning death of their three-year-old son, Trigg.On Tuesday, the Chandler Police Department (CPD) announced that their investigation into the May 18 death was complete, and they have formally recommended that the Maricopa County Attorneys Office consider charging Brady, 28, with a Class 4 felony.This charge carries potential penalties of 1 to 3.75 years in prison, though probation is possible for first-time offenders.DROWNING PREVENTION: KEEP KIDS SAFE IN AND NEAR THE WATER WITH THESE TIPSAt the time of the drowning, Brady was at home with Trigg and their newborn son, Theodore, while Emilie was out with friends, Brady told Chandler police, according to Fox affiliate, KSAZ-TV."Chandler PD arrived on scene first and found an unconscious 3-year-old boy that was pulled from the backyard pool. Officers began CPR and firefighters took over patient care upon arrival," fire department officials said at the time.Brady, according to AZ-Central, told police that he had turned around for "three to five minutes" before finding the boy floating in the family's backyard pool.Trigg died six days after he was pulled from the pool.The case has garnered significant attention due, in part, to Emilie's 4 million follower count on TikTok. The influencer, who has not posted on social media since the tragic incident, issued a formal legal request asking the court to block the release of investigative and post-mortem records in Trigg's death.MULTIPLE PEOPLE DEAD, 2 MISSING AFTER BOAT CAPSIZES AT VACATION HOTSPOTIn the verified complaint obtained by Fox News Digital, filed on May 27, Emilie argued that disclosing investigative and post-mortem records would cause her and her family significant emotional harm. Emilie said that this is a deeply personal loss with no substantial relevance to the public.READ THE VERIFIED COMPLAINT APP USERS, CLICK HEREEmilie said that over 100 public records requests have been filed since Trigg's death, many of which she believes are motivated by public curiosity or commercial interest rather than oversight.She said that neither she nor her attorneys have reviewed the graphic contents of the material, which may include security footage, autopsy reports, 911 audio, and bodycam videos, nor do they wish to. The complaint argues that releasing such raw and intimate documentation would weaponize Arizonas Public Records Law against grieving families, rather than serve its intended purpose of promoting government transparency.Fox News Digital has reached out to the Chandler Police Department and the Maricopa County Attorneys Office for comment.0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMBondi should release 'credible' Epstein files, Trump saysPresident Donald Trump fielded questions about late financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case on Tuesday, saying at one point that he supported Attorney General Pam Bondi releasing "credible" files from it."She's handled it very well, and it's going to be up to her, whatever she thinks is credible she should release," Trump told reporters.Trump claimed former FBI Director James Comey, former President Barack Obama and former President Joe Biden "made up" some of the files, but no evidence has surfaced that supports that accusation.The president's remarks came after the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI's decision to close their review of Eptsein's case without disclosing any new information about it to the public sparked fury among the MAGA base.10 REASONS THE DOJ AND FBI FACE BACKLASH OVER EPSTEIN FILES FLOPWhen she first took office in February, Bondi told Fox News she had a "truckload" of information about the case and did nothing to quell conspiracies about a supposed nonpublic list of sexual predators associated with Epstein.However, the DOJ and FBI shared a memo last week saying the agencies found no list and uncovered no new people whom they could bring charges against. The revelation was met with intense backlash from a faction of Trump supporters, which Trump and DOJ leadership have since been struggling to quell.Later on Tuesday, Trump told reporters no credible information was left to release to the public.BONDI UNDER SIEGE AFTER DOJ REVEALS NO EPSTEIN CLIENT LIST"He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the interest or what the fascination is. I really don't, and the credible information's been given," Trump said of Epstein's case files.Trump added, "It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring."Bondi also faced numerous questions from reporters on Tuesday during an event about fentanyl. The attorney general repeatedly said she did not want to address off-topic questions but at one point did say she stood by the DOJ and FBI memo."Today our memo speaks for itself, and we will get back to you about anything else," Bondi said.She also declined to talk about "personnel matters" when asked about FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino's status. Bongino was "enraged" by the memo rollout and considered resigning, sources told Fox News Digital last week.0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews
