The U.S. Navy is close to bridging the connectivity gap between its sailors and their families and support networks, bringing new meaning to “Can you hear me now? Good.”Since the rollout began in November 2025, the Navy has sought to provide free, high-speed Wi-Fi to all Navy-owned and -operated unaccompanied housing. Now, according to a Department of Defense release on Friday, 90% of those buildings are now online. “Reliable connectivity is an important part of sustaining the force and ensuring sailors have the support they need to remain ready and resilient,” said Navy Vice Adm. Scott Gray, deputy chief of naval operations for sustainment. “This milestone demonstrates the Navy’s continued investment in the infrastructure and services that enable our people to focus on the mission, wherever they serve.” According to the release, 865 of the 962 buildings now have free Wi-Fi. The remaining 10% of unaccompanied housing facilities left to connect are in isolated regions, such as Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti and the Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia in the central Indian Ocean. According to the Navy, the remaining installations are scheduled for completion in fiscal 2027. The program, a partnership between Commander, Navy Installations Command and the Navy Exchange…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Homeland security officials blasted Fairfax County, Virginia after DHS arrested an illegal immigrant convicted of pedophilic crimes, including aggravated sexual battery of a parent with a child and illicit filming of a naked minor, following the Democrat-led municipality’s refusal to honor an ICE detainer.The dispute comes as DHS and Republicans in Congress remain at odds with county leaders, including Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Ann Kincaid, over what they describe as a lax approach to prosecuting illegal immigrants and cooperating with federal authorities.”Another criminal illegal alien has been taken off the streets by the brave men and women of ICE, with no help from sanctuary politicians in Fairfax County,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement.Fox News Digital reached out to Kincaid’s office — which handles the jail — and a Fairfax County spokesman for comment but did not hear back by press time.ICE ARRESTS ILLEGAL ALIEN ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING CHILDREN AFTER FAIRFAX COUNTY RELEASE: DHSICE’s Washington field office arrested Honduran illegal immigrant Oscar Evaristo Nunez more than a year after Fairfax County corrections officials released him without cooperating with federal authorities.Nunez was previously arrested in Fairfax on…

The Marine Corps said Thursday that it has begun developing plans to add a “demonstrated warfighter ability” test to the screening process for colonels eligible for promotion to brigadier general.The service is adding the evaluation following guidance issued by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who announced the Joint Warfighter Evaluation, or JWE, in late September.Lt. Gen. Thomas B. Savage, commanding general of Training and Education Command, called the JWE “an objective data point that complements what we already know about an officer’s performance and potential.”“The Marine Corps has always taken pride in its talent management and selection processes, which have historically produced some of our nation’s greatest leaders,” Savage said.He added that the evaluation will provide “another opportunity for our rising leaders to confirm that they have assimilated the skills necessary to epitomize the next generation of general officers who will excel at the highest levels of command.”Brig. Gen. Matthew Tracy, commanding general of the service’s Education Command and president of Marine Corps University, said the service’s JWE will provide “a complex, realistic environment” to challenge Marine officers’ capabilities on the evolving battlefield.According to the service’s announcement, the JWE will complement existing performance evaluations by assessing an officer’s ability to…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! America and China do not agree on much. But when it comes to AI, we all lose if we lose control.Last month, as the ranking member of the House Select Committee on China, I convened the first-ever congressional hearing calling for a binding, enforceable, and verifiable U.S.-China AI treaty. I also led every Democrat on the Committee in sending the White House a letter demanding global action to tackle AI risks. Within days, President Trump and General Secretary Xi announced that they would establish a bilateral dialogue on AI. This is an important first step that would not have happened without congressional pressure.But this moment demands more than discussion. At my hearing, some of the world’s leading experts on AI called for the U.S. and China to form joint technical working groups with both countries’ top scientists. Their mission would be to develop mutually trusted verification technologies that prevent either side from cheating once we sign a U.S.-China AI treaty. This is an easy second step we should take today.ANTHROPIC CEO LIKENS AI FIGHT WITH CHINA TO COLD WAR, SEEKS ‘DISARMAMENT NEGOTIATIONS’Critically, we also need to begin envisioning what an actual treaty…

During the latest field season, researchers collected over 300 soil samples from varying depths inside and outside the formation, Noah’s Ark Research Project vice president Andrew Jones told Fox News Digital.The team also used…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Trump administration has reduced the federal workforce to the lowest point in roughly 60 years, according to newly released data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.As of August, just 2.67 million people were employed by the federal government, down from just over 3 million when President Donald Trump took office, marking the lowest headcount since 1966, per the BLS.The administration has estimated those cuts will produce significant savings, with OPM projecting that its Deferred Resignation Program alone will save more than $20 billion a year. But the reductions have also come with costs.Revenue collected from IRS examinations fell 35%, from about $10 billion in fiscal 2024 to $6.5 billion in fiscal 2025, as the agency was undergoing steep workforce reductions that ultimately cut examination and collection staffing by nearly 10,000 employees, according to a Treasury watchdog.APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS ORDER BLOCKING IRS FROM SHARING TAXPAYER DATA WITH ICE Former President Joe Biden secured nearly $80 billion in 2022 for the IRS over 10 years to upgrade its systems, improve taxpayer service and hire more staff, including enforcement personnel.The Trump administration has proposed further IRS cuts for 2027.Not all agencies have been hit…
