Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Tuesday he is working to fix telecom issues flagged after a military helicopter carrying President Donald Trump last week came too close to a passenger jet departing Reagan Washington National Airport.The incident raised serious questions about why the passenger airplane was allowed to depart while Marine One was nearby, a time when commercial traffic is typically halted. Following a January 2025 crash between a military helicopter and a commercial jet that killed 67 people, the Federal Aviation Administration barred mixed helicopter and jet traffic around the airport.“There have been some telecom issues,” Duffy told reporters at Newark Liberty International Airport. “That’s been now elevated,” he said, adding that he is working with the FAA on a fix with the White House. Duffy and FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford spoke to media at the New Jersey airport for an event marking the installation of a new surface movement radar used to improve runway safety. The FAA is spending billions to replace outdated air traffic control telecom infrastructure and radar surveillance systems after a series of failures, including significant, serious outages covering Newark and Washington traffic and a 2023 failure of an FAA system that forced a…

What we are discussing here today is a rare military and police firearm that dates back to a time when Poland was behind the Iron Curtain. As a result, it was rarely seen in the United States during the Cold War, yet it still managed to earn a level of infamy as it was a sidearm of choice of East Germany’s Volkspolizei and Stasi. The 9x18mm Polish PM-63 tried to combine the attributes of a pistol and a submachine gun, offering a folding stock and foregrip. Image: Author’s Photo Development of the select-fire pistol began in the late 1950’s when the concept was first proposed at the Warsaw University of Technology in response to calls for a light hand-held defensive weapon for rear-echelon soldiers, including gun crews and vehicle drivers. In essence, a personal defense weapon (PDW). Design work was initiated by Polish firearms engineer Piotr Wilniewczyc in 1960, but after his passing just two years later, the compact machine pistol’s development resumed and it was completed by the state-operated Łucznik Arms Factory in the city of Radom, where it was first produced in 1963 — while it issued to the Polish armed forces two years later.

Medicaid ends funding for child sex-change procedures as Trump admin slams ‘experimental’ treatments
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: American taxpayers will no longer be on the hook for child sex-change hormones or surgeries, as a key Trump administration agency announced Tuesday that Medicaid will stop funding such procedures and therapies.Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz tells Fox News Digital that the decision to implement a rule pulling the funding is “consistent with [the Trump administration’s] commitment to protect children from experimental and life-altering sex-rejecting procedures that carry serious long-term health risks and lack sufficiently reliable evidence of clinical benefit.”CMS, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), says taxpayer-funded Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will also cease coverage of sex-change hormones and surgeries. SEN HAWLEY WARNS IT WOULD BE ‘UNCONSCIONABLE’ IF BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER FUNDS FLOW TO TRANS KIDS’ SEX CHANGESThe rule will not affect mental health treatments for gender dysmorphia and other conditions, which will continue to be covered under Medicaid and CHIP.The move comes after years of what conservatives called ‘woke’ policies that opened avenues for federal funding of therapies and procedures to allow children to physically — and oftentimes permanently — transition from their biological sex…
Lockheed Martin on Monday announced the launch of Strigo, a new line of modular missile and sensor hardware, along with a dedicated product center designed to get weapons into the field faster. The line covers radio-frequency sensors, missile datalinks and missile seeker technologies, all built on a common baseline architecture. The company said the shared architecture allows Strigo hardware to be reconfigured for different missions, including air defense, missile defense and air-to-surface strike. Lockheed calls the Strigo Product Center a storefront for “ready-now and near-ready” hardware that it said can be adapted to customer needs. The company said the modular approach also lowers life cycle costs, though it stopped short of citing dollar figures. Lockheed said it has made a $250 million internal investment in the product center to date. The center was established less than two years ago and has already carried several concepts from initial design through testing, according to the release. The company said the center can move a concept from sketch to tested solution in months rather than years, allowing it to have parts on the shelf before the military even asks for them, in some cases.Stacy Kubicek, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Florida officials took aim at tech giant TikTok in a new lawsuit alleging the popular app misled parents about the content shown on its algorithm while operating in violation of the state’s online child protection laws. The lawsuit, filed Monday in state court in St. Lucie County, alleged the popular app violated Florida law by allowing children under the age of 14 to create accounts on its platform, according to a court filing obtained by Fox News Digital. “TikTok’s success hinges on its ability to addict children and teenagers to the platform,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a statement. “TikTok knowingly deceives parents and allows children to be exposed to harmful and inappropriate content in direct violation of Florida law.” The state requested a court order requiring TikTok owner ByteDance modify its platform to be in compliance with Florida law, while also seeking up to $50,000 in penalties for each alleged violation, the filing states.STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ASK SCOTUS TO UPHOLD TIKTOK DIVEST-OR-BAN LAW AMID TRUMP REQUEST TO PAUSE BAN The lawsuit also alleged that TikTok is “actively deceiving Florida parents about the risks of allowing their teens to access this platform,” by…
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is, without question, one of the more “in your face” coaches the NFL has to offer, and by that I mean, he’s not afraid to get in your face with you or an opposing fan, or even a Birds fan.But to his credit, it has worked in his six years with the Eagles, and it sure seems like that’s simply his nature.And, as he said in a new interview, if he wanted to change that, he’d have to be a better actor than Joey Tribbiani from “Friends.” …That is a wild measuring stick for good acting, but let’s hear him out.Sirianni did an interview with The Athletic’s Michael Silver, and in it he was asked about the prospect of toning things down a notch, especially after his players had to field questions about his antics.”F–k that,” he said. “You’ve got to be you.

The Marine Corps on Tuesday stood up the service’s first ever unmanned maintenance squadron in a ceremony aboard Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. A subordinate unit of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Unmanned Maintenance Squadron 14, or MUMS-14, is now the Corps’ only current aviation detail built specifically to bring unmanned aviation maintenance to forward deployed combat theaters, according to an announcement.

Military families who homeschool their children would have an easier time moving from state to state under proposed legislation introduced by lawmakers this week. Under the proposal, families would not have to start over in order to comply with the homeschooling laws of their new state, according to Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., who introduced the bill in the House Tuesday. A similar bill was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the Senate on Monday. As long as a military family is following either the laws of the service member’s state of legal residence or the laws of the state where the new duty station is located, they would be considered in compliance with the homeschooling and compulsory education laws of the new state. The legislation would amend the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to allow for the change.Research has shown that between 11% to 13% of military families homeschool their children, according to the Military Homeschoolers Association.“Military families homeschool their children at roughly twice the rate of civilian families,” Cruz said in a statement to Military Times. “Conflicting state homeschooling laws can undermine military readiness, family resilience, and retention by forcing service members and their spouses to navigate different requirements…

The U.S. Navy needs to reorganize and reimagine the way it invests in autonomous systems if it plans to modernize its approach to warfare effectively, according to a government watchdog.The U.S. Government Accountability Office on Monday released an unclassified version of a March 2025 classified report that dissects the Navy’s robotic and autonomous systems development. The report further provided recommendations for how to make the vision of a hybrid fleet possible.“Without rapid action from Navy senior leaders, the Navy risks not meeting the fleet’s urgent needs,” the report said.In light of recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, where drones and other unmanned weapons systems have been wielded to devastating effect, the Navy has sought to invest billions of dollars in autonomous systems.The service is working to field a hybrid fleet comprised of smaller and easily distributable capabilities, large autonomous surface and undersea vessels, as well as traditional platforms such as planes, ships and submarines.But the Navy has encountered problems in making that come to fruition.RELATEDTurnover in senior leadership has led to a muddied set of objectives that has hindered the service’s efforts to successfully spend money on emerging technologies over the last decade, the report found.With a revolving…
