NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Emily Ratajkowski’s wild post-divorce dating era wasn’t quite what it seemed.Ratajkowski is getting some backlash after she reflected on the months following the collapse of her marriage in a candid essay, admitting she threw herself into dating while struggling to reconcile her new identity as a single mother. Ratajkowski filed for divorce in September 2022 after four years of marriage amid widespread reports of husband Sebastian Bear-McClard’s alleged infidelity.Ratajkowski described the birth of the couple’s son, Sylvester, as a “violent transition” into a “new reality of screaming baby on my aching t– and ring on my swollen finger.””And then, in a time period that felt both instant and excruciatingly slow, my marriage collapsed,” she recalled in an essay for The Cut. “Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex. Less than a year later, we separated.”REESE WITHERSPOON ‘FOUND’ HER VOICE AS A SINGLE MOTHER: ‘NO ONE’S COMING TO HELP’ Ratajkowski admitted that after her marriage collapsed, dating wasn’t necessarily about finding a new relationship. Instead, she said she was seeking something much more immediate: reassurance that she was still desirable as a single mother.”What I wanted…

For decades, military spouse employment policy has revolved around a single, stubborn statistic: unemployment. It’s the standard that leaders cite, programs are built around and progress is measured against. But a recently published report reveals that the Department of Defense has been calculating unemployment differently from typical benchmarks, overstating unemployment rates and obscuring how many military spouses may have stopped looking for work entirely.A March 2026 report revealed that the DoD calculates unemployment differently than the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics, counting some spouses as unemployed who would typically be seen as out of the workforce. The Pentagon attributes these differences to unique military lifestyle factors. However, according to economist and professor Amy Burnett Cross, this difference in calculation “makes these measures not comparable.” In fact, if the Pentagon mirrored federal standards, the military spouse unemployment rate would drop from roughly 20% to 14% — still significantly higher than the national average, but lower than the figure cited for years in congressional testimony, policy discussions and news coverage.Cross believes this “structurally inflates” military spouse unemployment while simultaneously reducing the number of spouses categorized as no longer participating in the workforce, a group rarely highlighted in DoD programming efforts…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former Vice President Kamala Harris took an apparent shot at the Trump administration’s Iran deal, saying it could hurt Republicans in the midterm elections during a public appearance at a climate summit in Vienna on Tuesday.”This is a war the American people did not want. This is a War of Choice. This is a president who has proven himself to be entirely self-indulgent. And we will see what happens in the coming hours and days in terms of the negotiation. And really, it’s a concept of an agreement,” said Harris at the Austrian World Summit hosted by the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative.While Trump’s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran has not been released, comparisons to former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal have reemerged. According to administration officials, the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and require Iran to halt nuclear weapons development and support for terrorism.GAS SURGE TIED TO IRAN CONFLICT HITS SWING STATES, TESTING TRUMP’S LOW-PRICE PITCH Harris has seized the moment to reignite a political fight over which approach did more to curb Iran’s ambitions.”Whatever is being negotiated, this president is going to declare victory, and we’ll end up…

The New World screwworm has spread to the United States, prompting the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to partner with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The USDA awarded a combined $105 million to 40 different projects aimed at stopping the spread of New World Screwworm. Some of these projects include dogs, artificial intelligence drones, and fungi. Twelve animal cases of screwworm have been confirmed in Texas and New Mexico. The parasite has been confirmed in cattle, sheep, goats, and a dog. Of these 12 cases, 11 are currently active. No cases have been reported in wildlife yet. New World Screwworm Cases Reported In US According to data on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website, the New World screwworm (NWS) is a fly that lays its eggs in open wounds and body openings such as the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or genitals. NWS eggs hatch into parasitic maggots that burrow into and feed on living tissue or flesh. You are at higher risk for NWS if you live or travel to areas where NWS flies are found, spend a lot of time outside where flies are, or have an open wound. The partnership between the…

The Pentagon has quietly set in motion a yearlong strategy to unify the military services’ approach to boosting human performance and reaching “Total Force Fitness,” emphasizing a data-driven approach to achieving the desired results.Two Pentagon memos released in May and obtained by Military Times offer a roadmap for “Warfighter Performance Optimization,” culminating next year in the rollout of new programming, professional military education and the launch of pilot programs aimed at closing performance gaps.The first memo, signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on May 6, directs Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata to deliver a report within 60 days that reviews and assesses existing warfighter performance optimization initiatives across the services, with action points “to equip our service members and leaders with the tools, data and resources necessary to meet and exceed readiness standards and to maximize their lethality and effectiveness.”The end result, according to the memo, is a department-wide performance optimization action plan.Among Hegseth’s goals in advancing a unified “Warfighter Performance Optimization” approach is accelerating the fielding of technology that improves performance — including wearable devices and other data analytics tools — and elevating “cognitive performance as a key to readiness.”“The Department will establish cognitive…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Lance Twiggs, the transgender roommate and romantic partner of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, was given limited immunity for a recorded statement he gave to authorities in April, according to a new court filing.Prosecutors said in a filing on Tuesday that Twiggs was given “use-immunity” for a statement that he offered to authorities on April 20. Prosecutors want to use Twiggs’ recorded statement and his communications with Robinson around the time of Kirk’s killing at the July preliminary hearing. “On April 20, 2026, in preparation for the preliminary hearing, Mr. Twiggs gave a recorded statement under oath and after an admonition that any false statement would be punishable by law and could be charged as obstruction of justice.  Mr. Twiggs was also given use-immunity by the United States Attorney’s Office and the Utah County Attorney’s Office—meaning that his statements at that April 20 meeting could not be used against him,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.This is a developing story.Fox News’ Lee Ross contributed to this report.

Another Pentagon-led name change was unveiled Tuesday, when it was announced that the military’s U.S. Indo-Pacific Command would be dropping “Indo” from its name and reverting back to the long used U.S. Pacific Command, or USPACOM.The move, according to a Pentagon release, “honors the command’s deep historical roots, fostering a sense of pride and collective spirit among all who serve in the Pacific.”“From its critical role in establishing the post-WWII regional security architecture to its coordination of joint forces during the Korean War, the Vietnam War and countless humanitarian operations, the USPACOM namesake carries decades of military heritage and enduring regional partnerships,” the release states. U.S. Pacific Command was the official name of the formation until May 2018, when, during the first term of President Donald Trump, it was changed to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command “in recognition of the increasing connectivity of the Indian and Pacific Oceans” and rising military and economic pressure emerging from Beijing, then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said at the time. The command’s top officer in 2018, Adm. Harry Harris, acknowledged then that the change reflected the return of great power competition as decades of combat in the Global War on Terror were winding down. “I believe we…

This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News.  Danish researchers analyzing 45,701 deaths found antidepressant use for 1-5 years increased sudden cardiac death risk by 56%, while 6+ years of use more than doubled the risk Adults aged 30-39 faced a fivefold increase in sudden cardiac death risk after six or more years of antidepressant use A separate Australian review found evidence that the long-term antidepressant benefits are flawed, with withdrawal symptoms routinely misclassified as relapse Antidepressants deplete magnesium and CoQ10, nutrients essential for cardiac electrical stability and heart muscle function Experts urge regular medication reviews every six months and holistic treatment approaches, including exercise, sunlight, and nutrient supplementation The discovery: Why this study changes everything A landmark Danish study presented at the 2025 European Heart Rhythm Association congress has revealed a dangerous connection between long-term antidepressant use and sudden cardiac death that researchers say has been dangerously overlooked. Scientists at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen analyzed all deaths among 4.3 million Danish residents in 2010, reviewing death certificates and autopsy reports for 45,701 deaths and 6,002 cases of sudden cardiac death. The findings, adjusted for age, sex, and existing health conditions, showed that the longer people took antidepressants,…
