The federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a round of golf in September 2024, resumes Monday after a week that saw jurors seated, opening statements delivered and a flurry of early testimony.In just two days of testimony last week, prosecutors called 13 witnesses mostly FBI and Secret Service agents to walk jurors through the investigation and security response to the alleged attack.Prosecutors opened Thursday by reading Ryan Rouths own words "Trump cannot be elected" and "I need Trump to go away" to argue he plotted for months, traveled from Hawaii, and positioned himself at Trump International Golf Club with a rifle chambered and ready to fire.RYAN ROUTH TRIAL: JURY SELECTION BEGINS IN TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT CASERouth, representing himself, delivered a seven-minute opening statement that Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon cut short after he veered into rambling remarks about Adolf Hitler and the Wright brothers, at one point telling jurors, "This case means absolutely nothing. A life has been lived to the fullest."The weeks witnesses included a Secret Service agent who testified Routh smiled at him while pointing a rifle "directly at my face," a civilian who identified Routh fleeing in a black Nissan Xterra, and bomb squad and FBI agents who described the alleged snipers hideout backpacks clipped to a fence, a camera zip-tied to it, and Vienna sausages on the ground.RYAN ROUTH TRIAL OPENS WITH BIZARRE JURY QUESTIONS AND WITNESS DRAMAJurors were also shown photos prosecutors said linked Rouths clothing to the scene, including pants with a red stain prosecutors compared to red paint on a bag recovered from the brush. Rouths cross-examinations were brief and sometimes bizarre, from asking witnesses "Is it good to be alive?" to quizzing them on AK-47 mechanics.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPJudge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, told jurors to expect the trial to go until 5:30 p.m. daily. More FBI agents and law enforcement witnesses are expected to take the stand Monday as the government continues presenting evidence.

The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk signals a troubling new chapter in Americas political violence, former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan said.Kirk, 31, died after he was shot in the neck during his "American Comeback Tour" at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The assassination comes a year after two attempts to take the presidents life."We like to say that something happened gradually and then suddenly," Noonan wrote in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. "Its from Ernest Hemingways The Sun Also Rises: A character, asked how he went bankrupt, says, Two ways, gradually and then suddenly. Thats how political violence in America has been growing in this century. I would say the 2024 assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and now the assassination of Kirk, are the suddenly moments. The reality continues while the dark tempo is picking up."CHARLIE KIRK WARNED ASSASSINATION CULTURE IS SPREADING ON THE LEFT IN EERIE ONLINE POST MONTHS BEFORE MURDER"We know this cant continue and we dont know how to stop it," Noonan wrote. "That is our predicament."Noonan, now a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, previously served as former Presdient Ronald Reagans head speechwriter from 1984 to 1986.Kirks assassination is one of multiple examples of political violence or attempted political violence.For example, 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump from a rooftop during a campaign rally in July 2024, and one of the eight bullets shot grazed Trump's ear. The gunman also shot and killed Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old firefighter, father and husband attending the rally, and injured two others.CHARLIE KIRK HAD NO FEAR GOING INTO UTAH EVENT WHERE HE WAS ASSASSINATED, FRIEND SAYSLikewise, Ryan Routh was apprehended and charged with attempting to assassinate Trump at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September 2024. Routh was charged with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, among other things, and his trial is currently underway.Other instances include an assassination plot against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Nicholas John Roske, 29, pleaded guilty in April to attempting to kill Kavanaugh in June 2022, according to the Justice Department.CHARLIE KIRK'S MURDER THE LATEST IN INCREASING POLITICAL VIOLENCE NATIONWIDE, FROM PA GOVERNOR TO SCOTUSTrump said Friday on "Fox & Friends" that an arrest had been made in Kirks assassination, and Utah officials confirmed the suspect as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson."I hope he's going to be found guilty, I would imagine. And I hope he gets the death penalty," Trump said Friday. "What he did, Charlie Kirk was the finest person, he didn't deserve this. He worked so hard and so well. Everybody liked him."

New York Jets great Nick Mangold expressed his displeasure with a New Jersey town on Saturday as it declined to fly the American flag at half-staff in honor of Charlie Kirk.Madison was among the towns in the state to ignore President Donald Trumps proclamation that all American flags on government buildings should be flown at half-staff until Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals could be facing a major setback with star quarterback Joe Burrow.Burrow left Sundays win over the Jacksonville Jaguars with a toe injury, and NFL Network reported he is feared to have Grade 3 turf toe. That type of injury usually requires surgery and comes with a lengthy recovery.The Bengals reportedly sent images of Burrows injury to Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot specialist, to determine whether surgery is necessary. If so, recovery could sideline Burrow for up to three months essentially the entire regular season.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe team confirmed Burrow is dealing with a toe injury, though no decision has been made on whether he will need surgery. The injury occurred in the second quarter when Arik Armstead sacked Burrow. He stayed on the turf and slammed his helmet in frustration.JOE BURROW SUFFERS TOE INJURY AS BACKUP JAKE BROWNING LEADS BENGALS TO LAST-SECOND WIN VS JAGUARSOn the next series, after the Bengals intercepted Trevor Lawrence, backup Jake Browning entered the game while Burrow was helped to the locker room for evaluation.Browning went on to lead the Bengals to a comeback win, diving into the end zone with just seconds left in the fourth quarter to seal a 31-27 victory.Cincinnati improved to 2-0 to start the 2025 season, but the franchise is holding its breath that Burrow could return sooner rather than later. The Bengals missed the playoffs last year despite Burrows strong season, when he led the NFL with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns on his way to being named Comeback Player of the Year.Injuries, however, have been a recurring challenge for the 28-year-old quarterback. He tore multiple ligaments in his left knee in 2020 and suffered a torn wrist ligament in 2023, with both injuries ending his season prematurely.An announcement from the Bengals could come as early as Monday, but it is expected that Burrow will be ruled out at least for next weeks matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A Democratic senator from Delaware is blaming the internet for "driving extremism in our country" following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del,, appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday. He told host Major Garrett that Americans cannot let political violence drive the country further apart, calling Kirk's assassination "brutal" while discussing "the importance of the First Amendment of free speech.""No matter how much I might deeply disagree with his political views, the idea that he would be killed in such a grotesque and public way has to bring all of us to reflect about how hard it's getting because the internet is an accelerant," Coons said."It is driving extremism in our country. It's driving us apart left and right," he continued.FOLLOWING KIRKS ASSASSINATION, LAWMAKERS REACT TO LETHAL POLITICAL CLIMATE: 'VIOLENT WORDS PRECEDE VIOLENT ACTIONS'Kirk, 31, was gunned down at Utah Valley University on Wednesday during a stop on his "American Comeback Tour."

President Donald Trump railed against the NFLs new kickoff rule on Monday, calling it the "exact opposite of what football is about."The dynamic kickoff rule was implemented before the start of the 2024 season. The new directive created a landing zone between the end zone and the 20-yard line. Players from each team wait in between the 30-yard and 40-yard lines for the ball to be received or downed.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMTrump expressed his displeasure with the kickoff rule last season as well."The NFL has to get rid of that ridiculous-looking new Kickoff Rule," he wrote on Truth Social. "How can they make such a big and sweeping change so easily and quickly. Its at least as dangerous as the normal kickoff, and looks like (hell). The ball is moving, and the players are not, the exact opposite of what football is all about.COLTS STEAL IMPROBABLE VICTORY FROM BRONCOS AFTER OFFICIALS THROW GAME-CHANGING FLAG AS CLOCK RUNS OUT"Sissy football is bad for America, and bad for the NFL! Who comes up with these ridiculous ideas? Its like wanting to roll back the golf ball so it doesnt go (nearly!) as far. Fortunately, college football will remain the same, hopefully forever!!"The leagues tweaks to the kickoff appeared to pay big dividends in Week 1. Teams returned 75.6% of kickoffs last week the highest rate in any week since the 2010 season.However, the rule appeared to still be confusing to some as Pittsburgh Steelers rookie Kaleb Johnson suffered a major blunder against the Seattle Seahawks.Johnson let the ball bounce into the end zone, but the Seahawks rushed down the field to recover.

America's biggest seafood chain has had a different look lately.From an advertising campaign with *NYSNC member Joey Fatone to reviving fan favorites like popcorn shrimp and hush puppies, Red Lobster has heavily leaned into nostalgia and cost-cutting.The chain has also refreshed its menu with seafood boils, $19.99 shrimp deals and $20 lobster rolls. Led by 36-year-old CEO Damola Adamolekun, the rebrand has been well-received by the casual dining restaurant's biggest fans.CRACKER BARREL FAN SAYS 'HEALING ABSOLUTELY BEGINS NOW' AFTER RESTAURANT CHAIN NIXES MAKEOVER"Joey from *NSYNC being in this ad was all the motivation I needed to go to Red Lobster," one X user wrote."I will try Red Lobster because of the new menu very soon!" another said. "Food is expensive, and Red Lobster has always been pretty good and affordable."It stands in stark contrast to Cracker Barrel, which was panned by its biggest fans for trading its Southern-inspired logo for a sleek, modern one.The company has since reversed the decision.CRACKER BARREL OR WAFFLE HOUSE? THE SOUTH'S MOST HEATED FOOD DEBATE RETURNS AMID LOGO SAGARed Lobster's rebrand is also notable given that the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2024 after closing 93 of its locations across the country. As of last September, Red Lobster still operates 544 locations, per Reuters.Since then, the chain has restructured some pricing such as switching its Ultimate Endless Shrimp deal, which led to an $11 million loss, Reuters reported, to an Ultimate SpendLESS Shrimp special.So what's behind the new old-school appeal? Fox News Digital spoke with branding professionals for analysis of the move.Amore Philip, a New York public relations strategist, said the reintroduction of old dishes "is closely tied to consumer psychology."HOOTERS PLANS TO MAKE ICONIC ORANGE SHORTS LESS REVEALING AS PART OF BRAND REBIRTH"When a restaurant chain brings back items that longtime customers remember fondly, it taps into an emotional connection that goes beyond taste," Philip noted."Food is deeply linked to memories, family moments and comfort," she told Fox News Digital. "By reviving these classic dishes, Red Lobster isn't just selling menu items. It's offering a sense of familiarity and belonging."Philip said she's seen the nostalgia trend across the restaurant and retail industries, but Red Lobster's Joey Fatone campaign was a unique spin on the concept.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"This integration of retro menu items with pop-culture storytelling allows [the brand] to connect with multiple generations simultaneously," she said."It signals that Red Lobster isn't just revisiting the past.

They've got to keep delivering flavor, value and experience in real-time," she said.Fox News Digital reached out to Red Lobster for comment.

More women are turning tomarijuana to treat pregnancy-related illnesses, but experts warn of possible adverse side effects.Cannabis use is rising among pregnant women especially during the first trimester, the most critical period of fetal development, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, published annually by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.Women are turning to marijuana during pregnancy to combat issues such as stress and anxiety, nausea, lack of sleep, vomiting and pain.USING MARIJUANA TO COPE WITH STRESS OR TRAUMA MAY BACKFIRE, STUDIES WARNApproximately one in six women admitted to using marijuana or a cannabidiol product while pregnant, but half were not aware of the risks, according to a recent University of Florida study.Marijuana, derived from the cannabis plant, contains two primary compounds tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).These compounds can be thought of as "siblings" CBD does not affect the brain or spinal cord, while THC brings on more of a euphoric "high," according to Dr. Alta DeRoo,chief medical officer of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in St. Paul, Minnesota.Todays marijuana contains much higher concentrations of THC and is more potent than it was in the 1970s, health experts say, which means older research into its effects may be outdated.CANNABIS GUMMY POISONINGS SURGE AMONG VULNERABLE GROUP, EXPERTS WARNThere is also a scarcity of research into how medical issues affect pregnant women, with less than 1% of drug trials enrolling pregnant patients in the past 15 years, according to a public health study.Some may assume marijuana is safe for pregnant women because its legal in many states and because its a natural, plant-based product but not all natural products are safe during pregnancy.For example, too much vitamin A can lead to birth defects, according tothe American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)."Parents want to do the right thing for their health and especially for that of their future children,"Dr. Jamie Lo, an associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and urology at Oregon Health & Science University, told Fox News Digital. Her research focuses on the effects of cannabis on reproductive health.There is no known safe amount of cannabis to use inpregnancy, she added."I advise my patients to consider safer alternatives to treat their symptoms in pregnancy or for those who cannot abstain, at least try to reduce their frequency of use."Kim Gamez, founder of SOBER(ISH), an online marketplace that sells hemp-derived, micro-dosed options for those wanting a buzz without alcohol, said she is "often surprised" by how many women ask if their products are safe to use during pregnancy or while nursing.(Hemp, like marijuana, is derived from the cannabis plant.)"If theres ever a time in life when relaxation and good sleep feel most needed, its certainly then," she told Fox News Digital.There is currently no data confirming what amount (potency), frequency or timing of cannabis use in safe during pregnancy, Lo added."Thus, the national societies American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Society for Reproductive Medicine, American Academy of Pediatrics, etc. all recommend not using cannabis when pregnant or trying to conceive because of the limited safety data," she said.After a pregnant woman uses marijuana in any form, the cannabis crosses into the fetus. There are receptors for cannabis in the babys brain starting at the third month of pregnancy, DeRoo told Fox News Digital."From there, several studies have shown that this exposure to cannabis decreases fetal weight, head circumference and an increase in neonatal ICU admission," added DeRoo,who is also a board-certified addiction specialist and OB-GYN and an expert on the maternal and fetal complications of substance use.A recent review published this May,which analyzed 51 studies, showed that use of marijuana during pregnancy has been linked to ahigher risk of preterm delivery and a 75% higher risk of low birth weight.Children may also develop a small head size, which correlates to neurological and psychological issues later in life, according to DeRoo.Pregnant women who smoke marijuana can also have breathing problems because the substance lowers the amount of oxygen while smoking, according to the ACOG.Any amount can impairjudgment, cause dizziness and increase the risk of falls and injuries all of which can become big issues during pregnancy, the above source states.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERStudies over the past several years have also shown that marijuana is associated with problems concentrating, remembering and learning.It also increases the risk of complications during elective surgery,as well as an increase in emergency visits and hospitalizations.Experts also warn that cannabis can lead to substance use disorder during pregnancy because of its addictive potential."Cannabis use disorder is continued cannabis consumption despite negative consequences, such as failing role obligations, impaired relationships, giving up important activities and using [drugs] in physically hazardous situations," Dr.Tiffany Benjamin,a San Francisco-based psychiatrist who has presented at medical conferences on the clinical considerations of cannabis use, told Fox News Digital.People who consume too much cannabis may experience side effects of cannabis intoxication, she cautioned.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThese can include conjunctival injection (red eyes), increased appetite, dry mouth, increased heart rate and delayed reaction time, as well as problems with concentration and memory."Some individuals may have euphoria, anxiety and paranoia," Benjamin added.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., criticized members of his own party for labeling President Donald Trump "Hitler" or an "autocrat," responding to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Sunday.Fetterman spoke with CNN's Manu Raju on Wednesday shortly after news emerged about Kirk being shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University, though before he was confirmed dead.The Democratic senator pointed out that just one day prior, people were protesting Trump by calling him the "Hitler of our time." He condemned comparing anyone, including Trump, to Adolf Hitler and insisted his party must "turn the temperature down."FETTERMAN RIPS LEFTIES IN DEM PARTY, SAYING PEOPLE IN EX-COMMUNIST NATION TOLD HIM YOU ARE MORONS'"I think you just dont ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler and those kinds of extreme things," Fetterman said. "Now, look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, you know, the man was shot. Now, we have to turn the temperature down. We cant compare people to these kinds of figures in history. And this is not an autocrat. This is a product of a democratic election.""So you dont think that Trump is at all shattering any of the norms of democracy in any way?" Raju asked."Im saying hes definitely different, but thats what America voted for," Fetterman answered. "Again, I dont agree with many of these things, but that does not make him an autocrat."Though Fetterman frequently criticizes aspects of the Democratic Party, he told Raju that he was never going to change his party label while lamenting how Democrats have "lost the argument."CBS HOST ASKS KEVIN MCCARTHY WHETHER REPUBLICANS NEED TO 'REFLECT' ON THEIR RHETORIC AFTER KIRK ASSASSINATION"Right now, I think its entirely appropriate to really be honest and just figure out why exactly have we effectively lost two out of the last three cycles and of a lot of things," Fetterman said. "Weve really kind of lost our connection with American voters in ways. And I think we cant just be well, Trump is always wrong or that were going to set the country on fire or whatever. Thats just not true either, of course. "He continued, "But, you know, when I represent a state like Pennsylvania, that keeps you honest. You always cant forget that a lot of Americans happen to disagree with you. That does not mean that they are fascists, or now they want to shred the Constitution."Kirks death has sparked a nationwide conversation about political rhetoric after law enforcement reported that bullet casings found near the scene bore inscriptions with anti-fascist messages.Since the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump, Republicans have accused members of the media and Democratic opponents of fueling violence by repeatedly comparing him to the Nazi leader.MAHER SAYS COMPARING TRUMP TO HITLER MUST END, WARNS IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR KILLERS TO JUSTIFY ASSASSINATIONSRep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, however, defended calling Trump a "wannabe Hitler" on Friday, days after Kirk was killed."Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, wannabe Hitler, all those things are like, not necessarily saying, 'Go out and hurt somebody," Crockett said on "The Breakfast Club." "But when you're literally telling people at rallies, 'Yeah, beat them up' and that kind of stuff, you are promoting a culture of violence."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Prince Harry is celebrating his 41st birthday Monday, and according to royal experts, he may be wishing for one thing above all else."Harry is sending serious signals that he wants reconciliation," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital, explaining that Harry's schedule last week, which included a meeting with King Charles as well as a surprise visit to Ukraine, indicates "a new way of doing things with new advisers, whose advice is being heeded more."The meeting with the king, which took place on Sept. 10 at Charles' London residence, was the first time Harry saw his father in over a year. It came after a May interview the duke did with the BBC in which he emotionally spoke about his desire to become close with his family again something Fitzwilliams called a "serious error."PRINCE HARRY AND KING CHARLES REUNITE IN LONDON FOR FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEARFitzwilliams claims, "Harry made a serious error in giving an emotional half-hour interview to the BBC when he lost his case over automatic police protection.""I would love a reconciliation with my family," Harry said then. "Theres no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I dont know how much longer my father has."Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024.Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner said that Harry is currently on a "well-structured charm offensive" designed to "re-identify his credibility, his kindness and warmth and the key values he holds most dear.""Harry is longing for a popular return to Britain with Meghan and his children," Pelham Turner continued, saying that there was a time when Harry and Meghan were considered more popular than Prince William and Kate Middleton. Harry and Meghan can "reclaim that throne again," he theorized, with "a more relaxed royal protocol and a more secure Meghan."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

Prince Harry meeting with his father was a small part of the strategy," she said. "However, the meeting was significant as it highlights progress of sorts, however superficial. Its a glimmer of hope that, in time, father and son will privately rebuild a relationship."She added, "I would love nothing more than King Charles to enjoy his Sussex grandchildren although I sadly feel this will not happen soon. Prince Harry holds the key here."While it seems clear that Charles is interested in the idea of patching things up with Harry, the same can't be said for William."The senior royals dont do anything by mistake, especially Prince William," royal expert Hilary Fordwich said. "His having maintained a distance from Harrys reunion with King Charles, while the palace adopted an understated, cautious approach to public messaging, focusing on privacy and dignity rather than commentary or celebration says it all."Fordwich said that any reconciliation Harry has with his family is now dependent on "what he does and doesn't say or do.""His actions are on the line, he must prove he truly wants a closer bond by displaying, finally, dignity and dedication to duty, not just to himself. Harry has repeatedly voiced his desire to have his children know the family of his birthright and country, to know their heritage. The entire family is in wait and see mode.'"Harry has been estranged from his family since he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back as senior royals in 2020 and moved to California. The couple aired their grievances in interviews and documentaries. The royals 2023 memoir, "Spare," which exposes embarrassing details about the House of Windsor and his sibling rivalry, worsened tensions.In July,the U.K.s Daily Mailreported that Harry had quietly extended an olive branch by offering to share his official schedule of engagements. The outlet said this was meant to ease tensions with the king.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERThe outlet also reported that Harrys aides had a private meeting with the kings communications secretary in London. Representatives for Buckingham Palace and the Duke andDuchess of Sussex did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment at the time.Harry and William were last seen together in Aug. 2024 at the funeral of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes. The brothers kept their distance."There have been many reports in the British press that William is still extremely angry with Harry and does not want his father softening his position by meeting with him or allowing contact," Pelham Turner previously told Fox News Digital. "[It is understood] that King Charlesfeels it is his Christian dutyto welcome Harry, Meghan Markle and their family back into the fold."

There are moments in American politics when the ground shifts beneath our feet when something that seemed fringe, even laughable, suddenly becomes the center of gravity. Today, that something is the MAHA movement: "Make America Healthy Again." And if you think this is just another Trumpian sideshow, youre missing the tectonic plates moving under your feet.Lets be clear: dismissing MAHA is not just shortsighted its dangerous. Because whats happening here isnt just a rebranding of MAGA. Its a recalibration of the American political compass, and its drawing in people who, until recently, wouldnt have been caught dead at a President Donald Trump rally.For years, the political class has comforted itself with the idea that Trumps appeal is limited to a certain kind of voter: the angry, the disaffected, the left-behind. But look closer at the MAHA movement, and youll see something different something unsettling for the status quo.WHOLE MILK MAKES A COMEBACK IN NEW MAHA CHILDREN'S HEALTH STRATEGYLibertarians who once rolled their eyes at Trumps bravado are now nodding along, drawn by his full-throated defense of medical freedom and parental rights. Moms who used to vote blue without a second thought are suddenly asking hard questions about whats being injected into their kids bodies and theyre not satisfied with the answers from the CDC or the FDA. Even some on the left, those perennial skeptics of Big Pharma and government mandates, are finding themselves, almost in spite of themselves, in Trumps corner.This isnt just a coalition its a realignment. And its happening in real time.Say what you will about Trump his flaws are legion, his style abrasive, his rhetoric often incendiary but no one, and I mean no one, has a better instinct for the symbolic gesture. He doesnt just talk about problems; he embodies them, dramatizes them, makes them impossible to ignore.Remember the wall? It wasnt just about immigration it was about drawing a line, literally and figuratively, between "us" and "them." It was about making a promise that was as much emotional as it was practical. Today, with MAHA, Trump is doing it again. But this time, the stakes are even higher.JILLIAN MICHAELS HAMMERS NY TIMES FOR 'BLATANT HIT PIECE' PORTRAYING HER AS DANGEROUS CONSPIRACY THEORISTThis isnt some sleepy task force or blue-ribbon panel. This is the Oval Office, the Resolute Desk, the full weight of the presidency brought to bear on a single, electrifying issue: the health of Americas children. Trump isnt just asking questions hes making commitments. Hes turning parental anxiety into political power, and hes doing it with the kind of showmanship that only he can pull off.The political class is missing the point againCLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONHeres the thing: the political establishment, in both parties, is still stuck in the old paradigm. They see MAHA as a distraction, a sideshow, a way for Trump to gin up his base. But theyre wrong. This is bigger than Trump. This is about trust about who gets to decide what goes into our bodies and our childrens bodies. Its about the creeping sense that the institutions we once trusted have failed us, and that no one in power is willing to say so out loud.LEADING 'BIOHACKER' REVEALS WHY RFK JR.'S HEALTH CRUSADE 'COULDN'T COME AT A BETTER TIME'Dismiss this movement at your own peril. Because whats happening here is a revolt not just against the medical establishment, but against the entire political class that has grown fat and complacent while ordinary Americans worry about the health of their kids.If youre rolling your eyes right now, ask yourself: when was the last time you saw a political movement that could unite libertarians, disaffected Democrats and suburban moms? When was the last time you saw Donald Trump not just riding a wave, but creating one?The MAHA movement is not a blip. Its not a meme. Its a warning shot across the bow of American politics. And if you think its going away, you havent been paying attention.Trump has always been a master of the moment. But with MAHA, hes doing something even more audacious: hes building a new coalition, one that could upend everything we thought we knew about American politics. Ignore it if you want. But dont say you werent warned.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM LEE HARTLEY CARTER

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C. warned he would have a problem if the White House decided to focus its attention on his state as scrutiny grows on Democratic policies and their connection to crime.Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was killed in Charlotte, North Carolina, last month while taking public transit. The suspect in the crime, Decarlos Brown Jr., had previously been arrested 14 times before being arrested and charged with murder.CHARLOTTE TRAIN MURDER FRONT AND CENTER IN CRUCIAL 2026 SENATE BATTLE: 'SOFT-ON-CRIME POLICIES'As the story, propelled by a harrowing video of the alleged interaction between Brown and Zarutska, has spread nationally, so too has criticism of Democratic crime policies in blue cities like Charlotte.President Donald Trump charged that "blood is on the hands of the Democrats who refuse to put bad people in jail," and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who directed Justice Department prosecutors to federally prosecute Brown, contended that Zarutskas "horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people."Their sentiment comes as the Trump administration has pushed for federal intervention in Democratic-led cities. The administration has already sent troops into Washington, D.C., and is planning to send the Guard to Memphis and possibly Baltimore next.CHARLOTTE MAYOR SCORES PRIMARY RE-ELECTION VICTORY AMID NATIONAL BACKLASH OVER GRUESOME TRAIN MURDERTillis told Fox News Digital that there were "a lot of cities that we should be going to before Charlotte.""And I, for one, don't think that we should be the nation's police force, because, you know what happens? We're going to mask the failure of Democrat leaders that are making their cities less safe," Tillis said. "But we also have to be realistic and see that there are some cities and red states that are also in the top 20 list.""All I'm saying is we've got an issue, and I'm down there working before it became a national thing, work that we need to do down there to fix basically the free ride of the subway there," he continued. "But it doesn't rise to a level of national intervention. I think that'd be an overreach that I'm against, generally."TRUMP SAYS DEMOCRATS HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS AFTER DEADLY CHARLOTTE TRAIN STABBINGSen. Ted Budd, R-N.C., had a different view of the situation.He argued that it was "broken policies" encouraged by former Gov. Roy Cooper, who is running for Tillis seat, and current Gov. Josh Stein, D-N.C., that led to "this reimagining criminal justice nonsense.""What I want to see is local government to operate like it should," Budd said. "That's city government without these leftist, cashless bail crimes on the streets turning a blind eye to homelessness and drugs. If they will stop doing that, those crazy policies, then sure there's no need to send in the National Guard.""I would say being negligent, like those local governments have been in that case, invites greater rule," he continued.
