NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Did you know the US Senate has only been in session 79 days (about 40% of the time) so far this year? And so far, we haven’t passed anything to secure our elections, reduce inflation, cut spending, or prevent another Democrat shutdown.Well, what isn’t shocking is the fact nothing has gotten done while we only work 2.5 days out of the week. It is crazy. At the slow rate we are getting stuff done, we should be working 7 days.Let’s just take a status update: The Senate has yet to deliver on several of our key promises to the American people this year, including securing our elections through the SAVE America Act.TRUMP HOLDS WASHINGTON HOSTAGE OVER SAVE ACT AS MIDTERM CLOCK TICKS ON GOP CONTROLAs I noted in a recent letter to my Senate colleagues. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents overwhelmingly want voter ID for elections and only Americans to be able to register for elections, the main components of the SAVE America Act.Yet the Senate still hasn’t passed it — or even agreed on how to proceed on it. To fix this, we need to change how we do business.The job of…

The Los Angeles Dodgers organization is the most successful current franchise on the field, and the most successful at finding ways to put themselves in the center of controversies.All because they’re in a constant tug of war between making left-wing fans and sportswriters happy, and remaining apolitical because they are, of course, a baseball team. When they won the 2024 World Series, they faced a firestorm of criticism from left-wing sportswriters and some extreme fans for accepting President Donald Trump’s invitation to visit the White House.That continued almost immediately after LA won the 2025 title too, with pro-immigration groups like the National Day Laborer Organizing Network asking the Dodgers, a baseball team, to stand “on the right side of history.” Writers for the Los Angeles Times were equally absurd, saying, “All in all, it’s hard to imagine the Dodgers agreeing to a celebratory photo op with the president right now. Los Angeles is not just Dodger blue, but Democrat blue.”DODGERS WILL AGAIN VISIT WHITE HOUSE TO CELEBRATE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP, OFFICIAL SAYSThese criticisms were absurd, given that the traditional and ceremonial White House visit has nothing to do with politics. The Dodgers likely have players from all over the political…

If the Las Vegas Aces thought Saturday night’s 48-point demolition of the Phoenix Mercury meant another easy win was coming, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever had other plans.Clark reached another historic milestone along the way, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to record 600 career assists, doing it in just 72 games.The Fever marched into Vegas and embarrassed the defending champions, cruising to a stunning 109-75 win. The spotlight belonged to Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson – the WNBA’s biggest draw versus its most dominant force.STEPHANIE WHITE GIVES CAITLIN CLARK STATUS UPDATE AHEAD OF FEVER-SPARKS, BUT HER NEXT MOVE RAISES QUESTIONSWilson still finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds, but Indiana made sure those numbers came in a losing effort.

UFC President Dana White expected Shakur Stevenson to get a hero’s welcome at UFC 329.Instead, the UFC couldn’t even get the sport right, introducing him as an NBA player. The mishap set up for one of White’s most memorable post-fight rants in recent memory.”So, I tell you all the time, my production team is amazing. We just did the White House … and it was the greatest f—ing thing in the world to be there live and to watch it on TV,” White told reporters.SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM WALKS INTO OCTAGON AS SURPRISE UFC 329 RING GIRL”I just paid Shakur Stevenson a s— load of money, and for some reason, we can’t figure this celebrity thing out.” “They put him up as a f—ing OKC NBA player.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Stefon Diggs is still looking for his next NFL team after one season with the New England Patriots, which ended in a Super Bowl LX defeat.With NFL training camps across the country set to kick off at the end of the month, Diggs, who will be entering his 12th season, made quite the statement during a recent YouTube video on his channel.Diggs stated that he is the best No. 2 receiver in the league, and he explained why. “Everybody got a 1,,” he said. “Opportunities aside, people might say there’s seven real 1s. In my opinion, I can compete with anybody, but take those as your 1s. You can’t name a No. 2 better than me. There’s not a No. 2 on a team. Let’s presumably give people the credit and just say, ‘OK, you want to take the No. 1 spot away.’ Name your No. 2 receiver right now. Tell me how much he makes. My last question is: Is he better than me?”Diggs put up 1,013 yards in his 11th season, his first and only with the Patriots, on 85 receptions (102 targets) with four touchdowns from breakout star quarterback…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was confronted about his past instances of appearing to support “defunding the police” efforts on CNN’s “Inside Politics” Sunday.In a resurfaced radio interview cited by CNN, El-Sayed explicitly called for defunding the police in the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd riots.”I believe that we do need to defund the police insofar as defunding the police is disinvesting in the means of incarcerating or killing them on the streets,” El-Sayed said. “And in investing more in the means of educating and empowering, engaging communities with the means of being able to take on systemic poverty, that we’ve allowed systematic racism to allow to fester in too many communities.”WATCH: SURFACED VIDEOS OF DEM SENATE CANDIDATE BACKING ‘DEFUND THE POLICE’ CONTRADICT RECENT DENIALS CNN host Manu Raju asked El-Sayed about his comments in the clip despite previously claiming to have never supported defunding the police.”You know, what’s interesting about that comment is I go as far as defining what I mean by that,” El-Sayed said. “Do you disagree with investing in libraries and public services and social services?
