NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed faced roughly an hour of pointed questions Tuesday over his ties to controversial streamer Hasan Piker, his views on Israel, campaign money and his socialist ties after his Republican rival Mike Rogers declined to participate in a scheduled debate in Detroit Tuesday night.El-Sayed offered one of his most explicit condemnations yet of Piker’s controversial rhetoric, declined to give a yes-or-no answer when pressed on U.S. recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and pushed back on questions about his relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) during the wide-ranging conversation with the moderator.Rogers did not attend Tuesday’s event after declining the station’s invitation earlier in the day, leaving El-Sayed to field questions from moderator Roop Raj, viewers and members of the studio audience. FOX 2 said both campaigns were invited on Aug. 5, the day after Michigan’s primary, and that El-Sayed quickly accepted, while Rogers did not formally decline until the morning of the Tuesday debate due to objections over Raj serving as the moderator, arguing he was biased.EL-SAYED’S LIBERAL AGENDA CLASHES WITH MUSLIM VOTERS WHO BACK HIM ANYWAY: ‘MALE VERSION’ OF ILHAN OMAR On Tuesday…

Rost Martin has just launched the RM1X pistol series featuring three distinct model variants.Rost Martin is continuing to expand its RM1 pistol family, this time with the RM1X series. The new series features three distinct models that are tailored to different roles and tasks. However, all RM1X models feature a full-size grip, a compact slide, and a 17+1 capacity of 9mm with flush-fit mags. Each pistol ships with one 17-round mag and one extended 19-round mag.The RM1CX Standard combines the capacity and grip space of a full-size handgun with a more concealable barrel and slide length. This model is ideal for those looking to pack maximum firepower in a more easily carried package.The RM1CX Comp, as you might have guessed, features an integrated compensator. It’s the same overall length as the standard model, but offers increased shootability thanks to the comp. It’s otherwise the same as the standard model.The third variant is the RM1CX Tactical, and it’s essentially the suppressor-ready model in the new series. All that sets it apart from the standard model is its 1/2×28 threaded barrel and its suppressor-height sights.Regardless of which RM1CX model you choose, all have several features in common. Namely, optics-ready slides, ambidextrous controls,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A handful of House Republicans rebuked President Donald Trump’s operation in Iran on Tuesday, joining Democrats to pass a resolution aimed at reining in the commander-in-chief’s war powers.Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., introduced the war powers resolution that was backed by 14 of his fellow House Democrats, including Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo, and Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash. But it was Republicans who helped put the legislation over the edge.Seven House Republicans joined all 213 voting Democrats to pass the measure in a 220 to 204 vote late on Tuesday night. Opponents of the bill were 203 House Republicans and Rep. Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., who caucuses with the GOP.”I’ve been consistent on that since the war powers provision expired after 60 days of engagement,” Rep. Tom Barrett, R-Mich., told Fox News Digital on Tuesday morning ahead of the vote.REP TOM BARRETT: IT’S UP TO CONGRESS TO PREVENT ANOTHER ENDLESS AMERICAN WAR Republicans who voted to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran have long argued that it’s on Congress to declare war, not the White House.

Smith went nuclear on Kawhi Leonard after the Los Angeles Clippers’ salary cap scandal, torching the league’s soft punishment for a guy who just packed his bags back to Toronto.”For him to cause all the trouble that he’s caused for this organization and to walk away with nothing more than having to surrender $700,000 worth of restitution is a crime,” Smith said on First Take. “Kawhi Leonard … he’s a gangster.”The NBA dropped the hammer on the Clippers with the most brutal penalty in league history: a $30 million fine, five lost first-round picks, and a one-year suspension for owner Steve Ballmer.LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS FINALLY GIVE UP ON KAWHI LEONARD, SEND FORMER FINALS MVP BACK TO TORONTO RAPTORSInvestigators blew the lid off a shady scheme using sponsors like Aspiration and Daktronics to route millions in under-the-table cash to Leonard and his uncle, Dennis Robertson.

KYIV, Ukraine – Russia has begun sending Iran upgraded munitions, satellite imagery and targeting data used against American forces in the Middle East, part of a broader military partnership that also includes a covert program to help Tehran develop supersonic and hypersonic cruise missiles, according to intelligence assessments made public this month.Tehran and Moscow have been deepening their military relationship since the 1990s, but the partnership accelerated sharply after 2022 when Iran first began supplying Russia with Shahed attack drones for use in Ukraine. The Kremlin has since negotiated a license to build the Iranian-designed drones on Russian territory and has rapidly learned to replace and often upgrade most of the weapon’s components with locally sourced and Chinese parts.Now, as Iran wages its own war against the United States and Israel since the spring, Russia’s upgraded technology is flowing back into Tehran, according to the Institute for the Study of War.“If confirmed, this would represent a complete technological feedback loop in which Iranian‑designed drones supplied to Russia were enhanced through extensive wartime use before being returned to Iran in a significantly more capable configuration,” ISW analysts found.That exchange marks a shift toward a more interdependent military partnership between Russia and…
