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 The FAA is spending billions to replace outdated air traffic control telecom infrastructure and radar surveillance systems after a series of failures, including significant, serious outages covering Newark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.

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…

Fewer U.S. Air Force tankers are available for aerial refueling missions than official figures suggest, according to a new report.The problem is how the Air Force defines a tanker as mission-capable. A tanker that is available for non-refueling missions such as medevac or cargo transport will be rated as mission-capable — even if it can’t perform refueling.It is a second category, fully mission capable, or FMC, that rates whether a tanker is available for the refueling task.“The percentage of aerial refueling tankers that are available and mission capable has remained persistently below the standards that the Air Force established for the fleet,” warned the Government Accountability Office report, which examined the tanker fleet from 2019 to 2025.“Moreover, the percentage of fully mission capable tankers — those capable of performing all their missions — is even smaller.”Exactly how many tankers are — or are not — partly or fully mission capable isn’t in the GAO report. The new report is a public version of a May 2026 study that was deemed Controlled Unclassified Information because tanker availability rates were regarded as too sensitive.As of March 2026, the Air Force reported 373 KC-135 and 103 KC-46A tankers, GAO said. Given how absolutely…

The measles outbreak in Utah has topped 700 cases. The disease has been spreading in Utah for a year, and in 2026 alone, the Utah Department of Health and Human Services reported 482 new cases. Measles is a highly contagious viral infection. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms appear 7 to 14 days after contact with the virus. Common measles symptoms include: Measles can cause brain damage, deafness, or death in newborns. However, measles often presents with more severe symptoms and higher risks of complications than in children, particularly for those over 20 or with weakened immune systems As cases continue to grow, the United States is expected to lose its measles elimination status within the next year or two, according to a report by KFF Health News. KFF Health News reported that only 87% of kindergartners were adequately immunized statewide, which  is “far below the 95% threshold required for herd immunity.” Utah currently allows vaccine exemptions for religious, medical, and personal reasons. “Our exemption rates even tend to be a little bit higher than the rest of the state, which has made us more vulnerable to an outbreak like this,” said David Heaton of the Southwest…

Bill was a happy, jovial man. He was a patient of mine for many years. He always came to the clinic in the company of his sweet wife, who clearly adored him. Bill looked like a professional grandfather. He was also my friend. Bill was a gifted woodworker. He loved football, golf, and dancing with his wife. Within 15 minutes of meeting him, you knew where he stood with Jesus. Bill was a man of powerful faith. He loved people, and people loved him. In sum, Bill was as American as it gets.

The United States has confirmed 12 cases of the New World screwworm. Eleven cases were reported in Texas, and the other was in New Mexico. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, state and federal officials continue efforts to contain the flesh-eating parasite. The latest Texas case was identified in a sheep in Sutton County, which is located about 135 miles northwest of San Antonio. The detection adds to growing concerns that the parasite is spreading beyond South Texas and into other parts of the state. The case confirmation in New Mexico has also been concerning to health officials. Pennsylvania has already issued a quarantine order aimed at protecting the state’s livestock industry, pets, wildlife, and broader agricultural economy from a destructive pest that can cause severe and sometimes deadly damage to living animals. Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said that “Pennsylvania has no confirmed cases of New World Screwworm, but this destructive pest poses a serious threat to our livestock industry, companion animals, wildlife, and agricultural economy.” He added: “Taking proactive steps now to strengthen biosecurity and limit unnecessary animal movements from affected areas will help protect our farms and communities.” The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has also urged farmers…
