Sen. John Fetterman has made a habit of saying publicly what many in his party will only say privately — and his latest interview is no exception. Speaking with Reason magazine on Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Democrat offered a sweeping indictment of the ideological direction his party is heading — naming names and using language that few sitting Democratic senators would dare deploy against members of their own political coalition. “I think the extremism is driving it without a doubt,” Fetterman said, describing the forces shaping Democratic primaries across the country. “Look at the primaries, you know, all across in the…

Jon Bodwell did not make this decision quickly. His family built Delta Camshaft in 1977 — the year the Seattle Seahawks played their second-ever NFL season, the year the first Star Wars opened in theaters. Nearly five decades of manufacturing, of repairing camshafts that control how engines breathe, of building something in Washington state and sustaining it through recessions and recoveries and every political cycle in between. He is leaving. “A majority of it is the constant battle with the city over the graffiti and the crime stuff here, the constant massive tax increase, everything is increasing,” Bodwell told Fox…

At approximately 1:20 p.m. on Monday, Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts — a major roadway running along the Charles River — became the site of one of the most alarming public shootings the area has seen in years. A man later identified by Middlesex County District Attorney Marian T. Ryan as Tyler Brown allegedly walked down the middle of the road, firing a rifle as cars passed around him. Traffic stopped. People fled their vehicles and dove for cover. Within what authorities described as a “very short period of time,” an estimated 50 to 60 rounds had been fired. When…

When most people think about the infrastructure that holds the modern world together, they think about power grids, satellites, and supply chains. They rarely think about the miles of fiber-optic cable running along the ocean floor — the actual physical backbone through which virtually all global internet traffic and financial transactions flow. Andrew Badger thinks about it constantly. And what he sees concerns him deeply. “America depends on the fragile nervous system of subsea cables for modern life,” Badger, a former Pentagon official and current chief strategy officer at defense tech startup Coalition Systems, told Fox News Digital. “U.S. adversaries…

For more than four years, the war in Ukraine has defied every prediction of its end. On Saturday, the man who started it said he believes that end may finally be approaching. “I think that the matter is coming to an end,” Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters, according to Reuters — a statement that, coming from the Kremlin, carries weight precisely because of how rarely anything resembling optimism about peace has emerged from that direction. The comment arrived on the same day a Trump-brokered three-day ceasefire took effect, suspending all military activity along the front lines as both nations…

The federal government is carrying out a sweeping Trump branding push, placing President Donald Trump’s name, image or signature across a growing list of official buildings, programs, websites and government-issued items. The effort spans everything from a Washington peace institute and the Kennedy Center to paper currency, passports, prescription drug services and children’s savings accounts. The scale of the move makes it one of the most visible presidential branding campaigns in modern U.S. government. According to the original report, Trump’s second-term administration has gone well beyond internal documents and standard communications, moving his name and likeness into public-facing federal symbols.…

The difference between a good workout and a great one may come down to something most people already have in their pocket: a playlist they actually want to listen to. New research from the University of Jyväskylä in Finland, published in the journal Psychology of Sport and Exercise, found that individuals who selected their own music during high-intensity exercise were able to sustain their effort for nearly 20% longer than when they worked out in complete silence — without their bodies working any harder to do it. The research involved 29 recreationally active adults who each completed two identical cycling…

A suspected hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship sailing the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa has killed three people and left several others gravely ill — while a standoff over disembarkation approvals has complicated the urgent effort to evacuate those who need immediate care on land. The World Health Organization confirmed the situation in a statement posted to X, describing an ongoing and rapidly developing public health response coordinated across multiple countries and agencies. Of the six individuals currently identified as affected aboard the MV Hondius, the WHO has confirmed one laboratory-verified case of hantavirus infection. Five…

The pickleball world is not a large one — and on Friday, it became smaller. The identities of the five people killed when a Cessna airplane crashed in a wooded area near Wimberley, Texas on Thursday night have been confirmed. They were members of the Amarillo Pickleball Club, traveling together to compete in a tournament — the kind of trip they had made together many times before. They were Hayden Dillard, Seren Wilson, Brooke Skypala, Stacy Hedrick, and pilot Justin Appling — all from Amarillo, Texas, all part of a group that friends and fellow players described as inseparable, warmhearted,…

Fast-food enthusiasts swear by a simple trick to improve their Burger King experience: ordering a Whopper “hot off the broiler”. This seemingly small request, which is available through the chain’s online ordering system as well as in-person, promises a hotter, fresher burger with a better char and more melted cheese—qualities that have left many customers raving. The catch? The request can take a bit longer to fulfill, but for many burger lovers, the result is worth the extra wait. Fans on platforms like Reddit have been vocal about their positive experiences with this request. According to several users, a Whopper…
