Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Rand Paul, R-Ky. The messages shed light on private discussions between Fauci and other top health officials as they navigated evolving questions around the coronavirus pandemic.In a Monday evening interview, Siegel suggested the former White House chief medical adviser was at times too “dogmatic” and slow to adapt as the science evolved.EXPOSED FAUCI DIARY SHOWS HE ESTIMATED COVID-19 DEATH RATE TO BE MUCH LOWER THAN WHAT HE TOLD CONGRESSSiegel said Fauci was a “top immunologist” and “top vaccinologist.””And I respect that a lot,” he said, adding that he felt Fauci then ventured beyond those areas of expertise. “The other issue is flexibility.

The Pentagon revoked a former U.S. Air Force secretary’s security clearance, alleging that he shared classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a news outlet.Frank Kendall, who served as the 26th Air Force secretary from 2021 to 2025 during former President Joe Biden’s administration, recently spoke with news outlets and has been quoted in their stories concerning the Qatari-donated jet’s security features.Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesperson, said in a Friday social media post that Kendall’s access to classified information and his ability to hold any “sensitive” position is forfeit, effective immediately. “This action follows his unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a media outlet,” Parnell said in the post.“Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty,” he continued. “Those who violate that trust forfeit the privilege of access and any role requiring it.”Former high-ranking officials, such as Air Force secretaries, usually retain access to sensitive information after leaving their posts, allowing them to serve as consultants to the current administration or as contractors as needed. Following his departure as Air Force secretary, Kendall now serves as a national director on the Air & Space Forces Association board and as a nonresident senior fellow at the…

The WNBA’s silence regarding DiJonai Carrington, who declared “White privilege” after her ejection during Saturday’s game against the Indiana Fever after smacking Sophie Cunningham in the face, meant she could play Monday night for the Chicago Sky against the Seattle Storm. With the league not announcing any discipline for the veteran guard after her Flagrant 2 foul against the Fever over the weekend, Carrington checked into the game with 5:21 left in the first quarter. There was a loud cheer coming from the Storm crowd, but it’s unknown if it was because Carrington was checking into the game, or if they were cheering on rookie center Awa Fam entering for Seattle.  With around two minutes left in the first quarter of Saturday’s 90-86 win for the Fever, Cunningham had a breakaway toward the hoop with Carrington trying to track her down to avoid an easy two points for Indiana. Carrington’s hustle led to a meeting at the rim, but instead of swatting the ball, she hit Cunningham hard in the face, sending her to the floor as officials quickly blew the whistle. DIJONAI CARRINGTON DECLARES ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE’ AFTER EJECTION FOR SMACKING SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM IN THE FACECunningham was livid, getting up from the hardwood and…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic Gov. Maura Healey was met with applause and smiles as she signed away Massachusetts’ gestational limits on abortion, making the deep-blue state the 10th to permit the procedure up to birth.Under the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, health care workers will have greater discretion in determining whether to perform an abortion later in pregnancy, without facing legal penalties under the state’s previous restrictions.Healey said the law is intended to ensure families facing medical complications late in pregnancy can abort their babies in Massachusetts rather than having to travel out of state. Those complications can include maternal health complications and fatal diagnoses.During the bill signing, Healey pledged to keep abortion safe, legal and accessible in Massachusetts for as long as she remains governor.LATE-TERM ABORTION TAKES FRONT SEAT AS BLUE STATE RUSHES TO EXPAND ACCESS BEFORE SESSION ENDS “We believe that health care decisions should be made between women and families and their doctors, not politicians,” Healey said. “Abortion will remain safe.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt is now the first Navy carrier to be equipped with an Unmanned Air Warfare Center that will support the Boeing-made MQ-25A, the first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft.In May, acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao announced during a Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing that the MQ-25A was moving into the low-rate initial production and deployment phase.The aircraft is intended to relieve the Navy’s F/A-18 Super Hornets of the aerial refueling role, freeing up F/A-18E/F aircraft to focus on strike missions.The memo, dated April 21, 2026, was recently published by the Pentagon within a Modernized Selected Acquisition Report.

U.S. troops in Korea practiced turning small drones into weapons with live ordnance last week as the Army works to incorporate unmanned capabilities into the lowest levels of unit formations. Soldiers with the 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division trained alongside Marines to outfit Neros Archer Strike first-person-view, or FPV, drones with C4 explosives to attack targets at Rodriguez Live Fire Complex in South Korea. It was the division’s first time using live ordnance with the system.The training represents part of the military’s broader push to place attack drones directly in the hands of smaller units, giving them the ability to strike targets without relying on assets at higher echelons. Both the Marine Corps and the Army have created specialized units and groups dedicated to the small sky-fliers that have changed the course of modern warfare. “At my level, the modernization with drones is allowing for on-the-ground troops to, rather than call in company-level or battalion-level assets, within their platoon or squad-sized element, be able to support long-range fires up to 20 kilometers,” said Pfc. Gavin Zerrull, a military intelligence systems maintainer and integrator who participated in the training.Zerrull is also an FPV coach and operator with Talon Technologies, the “innovation…
