The mayor of a small town in Georgia fired the area's entire police department Wednesday after officers allegedly made "inappropriate comments" about his wife on Facebook, leaving the town without its own police force. Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick recently shut down the Cohutta Police Department , laying off all 10 employees, according to a report from WDEF.

Colbert has spoken out about his show's cancellation in multiple interviews, both on and off-air, most recently with The Hollywood Reporter in a piece headlined, "The Stephen Colbert Exit Interview: ‘I Did Not Expect It to End This Way.’" CBS announced in July that it had canceled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and that it would end in May 2026. Liberal critics have accused CBS and Paramount of ending the show to appease Trump and receive approval for a long-planned merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media.

A surge in Somali piracy is fueling fears of a Red Sea "security vacuum" across the region as analysts warn of a revived maritime crime playbook, now linked to Iran-backed Houthis . The warning follows a May 2 report from Yemen’s coast guard that armed men hijacked an oil tanker off Shabwa and steered it toward the Gulf of Aden, and the vessel has since been located with recovery efforts underway, Reuters reported . "There is a fundamental shift in the maritime center of gravity amid a new phase of maritime instability in the region," Ido Shalev, chief operating officer at RTCOM Defense , told Fox News Digital. "Somali and Houthi-linked groups are teaming up — using skiffs and new tech to strike ships with coordination not seen in a decade — while Saudi crude rerouted from the Strait of Hormuz has created a ‘target-rich environment for them,’" he added.
