NASA is once again considering Elon Musk ally Jared Isaacman for the administration’s top role. The private astronaut had been nominated for the role earlier this year, but the White House yanked that nomination as cracks formed in President Donald Trump’s relationship with Musk. ‘Secretary Duffy and Jared Isaacman had an excellent meeting,’ NASA press secretary Bethany Stephens first told Reuters in a statement this week. She added in a statement to Fox News Digital:...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is hitting back at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., after he called her ‘sick’ among other attacks on Friday morning. ‘Hakeem and Democrats are lashing out because they know what I said is true,’ Leavitt told Fox News Digital. ‘The Democrat Party’s elected officials absolutely cater to pro-Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals. House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning Hamas following the horrific October 7th terrorist...

Former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton pleaded not guilty Friday to all 18 counts related to the improper handling of classified materials after surrendering to federal authorities in Maryland. U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy Sullivan explained the charges to Bolton and asked if he understood them and the potential penalties of up to ten years per count and a maximum fine of $250,000 per count.  ‘I do your honor,’ Bolton said during his arraignment...

The top Democrat in the House of Representatives attacked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a slew of insults on Friday. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., accused Republican officials of unjustly going after Democrats amid a controversy over a swastika flag found in a House GOP lawmaker’s office this week, though the lawmaker denied he or his staff played any role. Jeffries made the comments during a press conference with reporters on day...

The regime in Iran was described as being on an ‘unprecedented execution spree’ by the United Nations. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said the Islamic Republic of Iran carried out more than 1,000 executions since the start of the year. With as many as nine executions each day at the time of their report, OHCHR said that victims were primarily accused of murder and drug-related crimes. In an effort to raise...

Trump-appointed lawyers leading key federal court districts in blue states have become wrapped up in legal disputes that are testing their authority and threatening to undermine criminal cases they are overseeing. U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who brought a high-profile indictment against former FBI Director James Comey in Virginia, is in the hot seat, as are President Donald Trump’s appointees in New Jersey, California and Nevada. In a sign of his growing frustration over the matter,...

President Donald Trump called out Senate Judiciary Committee chair Chuck Grassley while asserting that multiple U.S. attorney picks remain unconfirmed because Grassley is honoring the blue slip tradition. The arcane custom involves showing deference to home-state senators by allowing them to stymie the confirmation of nominees they do not like.  ‘I have eight GREAT U.S. Attorneys, Highly Respected ALL, who will not be confirmed for their positions in various Highly Consequential States only because they’re...

Former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton surrendered to federal authorities Friday after being indicted on 18 counts related to the improper handling of classified materials.

When asked by Fox News at the scene if he had a comment, Bolton just walked into the building. Bolton...

House Republicans in battleground districts appear to be closing ranks as GOP leaders dig in on their government shutdown strategy, while the fiscal standoff shows no signs of slowing.  Eight House GOP lawmakers whose seats are being targeted by Democrats in 2026 spoke with Fox News Digital this week. And while some shared individual concerns, they were largely united in agreeing with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., that Republicans should not renegotiate their federal funding proposal...

International headlines finally reflect what activists have shouted for months: that Gaza’s suffering matters.  And yet, the plazas are still. The hashtags have gone dormant. The chants that once shook campuses have faded into uneasy silence. Why?  Many activists can’t celebrate because celebration feels like surrender. Behavioral science has some explanations. First, there’s cognitive...
