NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic senators are still backing Maine Senate nominee Troy Jackson, who replaced former candidate Graham Platner on the ballot, after the latest allegations threaten to yet again shake up the race for U.S. Senate in the Pine Tree State.Platner, following a series of scandals culminating in sexual misconduct claims, was forced to drop out ahead of the Democratic primary to take on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, earlier this summer. But now, a bombshell report claims Platner’s replacement fathered two children with his second cousin.The recent report wasn’t enough to turn lawmakers against Jackson, with most stressing the necessity for Democrats to win swing state races in order to win back a majority in the upper chamber — not an easy feat in Maine where Collins, a moderate, has represented the state in the Senate since 1997.Maine’s other senator, independent Angus King, said: “I have no idea what you’re talking about and I’m not going to comment on it anyway.” Every senator that Fox News Digital spoke with on the issue this week denied having knowledge of the report.”I don’t know anything about that, but what I do know is that we have…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Musician Tom Morello faced a backlash from conservatives after he played to the crowd Tuesday at the Hands off NYC protest at the Federal Plaza in Manhattan.The guitarist, who is known for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, sang Woodie Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land,” along with the lines that said: “In the squares of the city, in the shadow of the steeple, near the relief office, I see my people. Some are crumbling and all are wondering if this land’s still made for you and me.”A cheering crowd who held signs that said “Hands off NYC” and “ICE is illegal” sang along with the 61-year-old.”My mother and I lived at 142nd and Riverside a long time ago,” Morello told the crowd, according to Rolling Stone. “Brothers and sisters, if I’ve learned one thing in all my years since then, it’s that if it looks like fascism, sounds like fascism, dresses like fascism, talks like fascism, kills like fascism, and lies like fascism — brothers and sisters, it’s f—ing fascism.”BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN OFFERS ‘PRAYER’ FOR TRUMP AFTER WHCA DINNER SHOOTING DESPITE MONTHS OF CRITICISM He also referred to the Trump administration as an…

Christopher Nolan is one of the entertainment industry’s most celebrated filmmakers. He’s responsible for some of the biggest financial and critical successes since the turn of the century.”The Dark Knight.” “Inception.” “Dunkirk.” “Interstellar.” And his most recent release, “Oppenheimer,” which won seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. Nolan, like few other modern directors, has achieved an “auteur” status, essentially a signature style and control over the creative process and output that’s distinctive compared to his peers.When news broke that Nolan’s next project would be “The Odyssey,” it seemed like an unexpected, fascinating fit. The 55-year-old director has tackled different subjects with unique, high-quality film-making. “Batman Begins” was credited with redefining the comic book, superhero movie by grounding it in realism with a much darker tone than more cartoonish predecessors. “Dunkirk” featured an exceptional recreation of an aerial battle in World War II, and “Interstellar” was so groundbreaking in its scientific accuracy that it led to an academic research paper on its portrayal of a black hole. “Tenet” was a fascinating and original exploration of time that was fanatical in its commitment to the rules of the film, outlandish though they might have been. Even “Oppenheimer,” though it…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A move to oust Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos failed during a Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday night, though the board voted to refer perjury allegations to the state attorney general’s office as Nanos’ past record and handling of the Nancy Guthrie case have been heavily scrutinized.Republican Steve Christy moved to have the board declare the sheriff’s office vacant and begin the process to replace him immediately. No one seconded the motion, though, and the bid to oust him failed.Democrat Rex Scott then made a motion to refer allegations of perjury against Nanos to the state AG’s office, which the board approved by a vote of 4-0, with Christy abstaining.”My chief concern with what’s been going on within the sheriff’s department is that our elected sheriff has taken no discernible efforts to repair relationships and trust within our largest department,” Scott said after that vote. “The most telling example of that was the unanimous vote of the Pima County Deputy’s Organization declaring no confidence in his leadership.”The board’s actions capped a high-stakes showdown over allegations that the man leading the Guthrie kidnapping investigation lied under oath about his past police record.PIMA…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Secretary of State Marco Rubio ditched his usual suit for a Nike tracksuit aboard Air Force One, sparking widespread online reactions as images of the unexpected look spread across social media.Photos posted to X by White House communications director Steven Cheung showed Rubio wearing a gray Nike Tech fleece outfit — a notably casual departure from the formal attire typically worn by top U.S. officials during official travel.The moment comes as Rubio travels with President Donald Trump on a high-stakes trip to China, where officials are expected to focus on trade and national security issues, creating a contrast between high-level diplomacy and a social media-driven fashion moment.The outfit quickly drew comparisons to the internet’s so-called “Venezuela Nike Tech” meme, which gained traction earlier this year after images of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro wearing a similar tracksuit circulated online.DAN GAINOR: FROM SECRETARY OF STATE TO SECRETARY OF MEMES, RUBIO WINS OVER MAGA Social media users flooded X with jokes and commentary after the images surfaced.”Is Marco going to be the DJ for the flight?” one X user wrote alongside an edited image showing Rubio standing behind a DJ booth.Another viral meme labeled Rubio…

JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!Speaking with Tomi, a Mets fan, Syndergaard addressed the departures of fan favorites Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso. For him, the shift in the locker room reflects something bigger happening in the city itself.”It’s kind of also ironic,” Syndergaard told Lahren. “Those two guys are some of the biggest conservatives I’ve played for as well as with, with Jacob deGrom. The craziness that’s going on in New York.”WATCH:Even so, Syndergaard admitted the draw of playing in New York never really goes away.PETE ALONSO RIPS ON TRAFFIC, CRUSHES HOMER AGAINST YANKEES IN RETURN TO NYC”But I mean, if I still played for the Mets or the Yankees, I’d be like, oh, this is freaking awesome,” he continued. “Like I could block the crazy…

The U.S. Army is planning to rotate troops deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border this summer, with the 1st Armored Division assuming command of the Joint Task Force – Southern Border mission. The Pentagon announced the deployments Tuesday. The 1st Mobile Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, will deploy to the border to replace the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division. The Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, will replace the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, and the 1st Armored Division’s sustainment brigade will replace the 10th Mountain Division’s sustainment brigade.In addition, headquarters of the 1st Armored Division out of Fort Bliss, Texas, is set to replace the 101st Airborne Division headquarters.“We are honored to assume command of this mission,” Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor, commander of the 1st Armored Division, said in a statement. “For most of living memory, our soldiers have fought for the freedom and security of our allies abroad, but now we have been asked to defend our own borders. This mission resonates with the soldiers of 1st Armored Division because the borderland is our home.”Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the military has assumed an increased role in supporting immigration control, with U.S. troop deployments to the border tripling…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A handful of Republican state senators in South Carolina on Tuesday derailed an effort in the GOP-dominated legislature to redraw their state’s congressional district map which aims to erase the only Democrat-dominated U.S. House seat ahead of the midterm elections.Five Republican state senators broke with their party and teamed up with Democrats to defeat a proposal that would have allowed the chamber to vote on redistricting after the South Carolina legislative session comes to a close later this week.The move came hours after President Donald Trump warned on social media that he’d be “watching closely” as lawmakers met to move forward with changing their state’s map.The setback means it will be much harder for South Carolina to join Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana, which are altering their maps to eliminate Democrat-controlled congressional districts in time for the midterms, when the GOP will be defending its razor-thin House majority. The southern states are the latest battleground in the nationwide redistricting showdown. At stake is which party will control the House during the final two years of Trump’s second term in the White House.DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB…

Ukraine has linked its military drones, sensors and weapons systems into a unified battlefield network, an integration Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told lawmakers Tuesday the U.S. military has yet to achieve.During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Driscoll lauded Kyiv’s “Delta” command and control system and praised its ability to “integrate every single drone, every sensor and every shooting platform into just one single network.” A stark contrast, he said, to fragmented American systems that struggle to communicate or share data. The secretary pointed to the Army’s newly launched “Operation Jailbreak,” an effort at Fort Carson, Colorado, where Army engineers and defense contractors are working to break down software barriers that prevent systems from exchanging information. The ability to quickly share information across systems on the battlefield allows forces to move targeting data between drones, sensors and striking systems, therefore speeding up how fast a military can identify and then attack a threat. “For decades our budget process incentivized companies to protect their intellectual property at all costs,” a process, Driscoll said, that “created walled gardens” in the country’s command and control infrastructure. Driscoll’s comments underscore just how heavily the American military is studying lessons from Ukraine as it adapts…

Brooks Nader suffered a wardrobe malfunction right before her big moment.The 29-year-old model and actress attended the 2026 FOX Upfronts in New York City to promote the new “Baywatch” reboot, and narrowly avoided a major wardrobe malfunction while on the red carpet.She shared a photo on her Instagram stories of her standing in front of a mirror in a small room with the back of her dress completely busted open in the back and her white lace underwear visible through the tear.”When you bust out of your dress 4 minutes before showtime!!!
