Former President Barack Obama was lambasted for rebuking a new Supreme Court ruling against race-based redistricting in Louisiana, just days after cutting ads for a Virginia effort to transform that state's map into a 10-1 Democratic advantage. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Louisiana's 2024 mid-decade redistricting that produced a serpentine district represented by Rep. Cleo Fields of Baton Rouge, calling it an "illegal" racial gerrymander, while Obama argued the decision weakened a Voting Rights Act provision prohibiting race-based discrimination. "Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities — so long as they do it under the guise of ‘partisanship’ rather than explicit ‘racial bias’," Obama said. "Unless it’s Virginia. In that case, it’s great to have a 10-1 gerrymand...

While the rest of the world, both inside and outside the NFL, discusses and even debates the Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini saga, it is apparent the coach continues to enjoy the support of some people who matter most: Such as Patriots owner Robert Kraft. And season-ticket holders. We know this because this week, even as scrutiny on the coach grew amid his Draft-day absence while he sought "counseling," the Patriots had Vrabel join an event for season-ticket holders. At that packed house event inside the atrium of Gillette Stadium, those season-ticket holders universally showed Vrabel love. They applauded for him. They even gave him a standing ovation when he was introduced. MIKE VRABEL BACK AT PATRIOTS FACILITY AFTER 'COUNSELING' DAYS OFF And that leaves us with a lot to unpack. The NFL has deferred all decisions regarding Vrabel and his relationship with Russini, a former reporter for The Athletic , to the Patriots. Commissioner Roger Goodell said nothing ...

A woman from Illinois is pleading guilty after paying thousands of dollars to have others make so-called "animal crush videos," which included depictions of adult and baby monkeys being mutilated and tortured for users in a deranged online chat group. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent out a press release Monday indicating Amanda Leigh Fourez, a U.S. citizen from Illinois, pleaded guilty earlier this month to distributing and conspiracy to create and distribute these sorts of videos.  The videos Fourez paid for included footage that showed the monkeys being burned alive, having their genitals mutilated and other atrocities, according to the press release. "Fourez paid thousands of dollars to commission bespoke sexual torture videos of monkeys and later she distributed the obscene crush videos over the Internet. Fourez archived and controlled the distribution of animal crush videos," the Department of Justice added in its press release. ICE BUSTS S...

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — Texas authorities have arrested an illegal migrant from Honduras on a Greyhound bus headed toward the southern border in connection with the violent rape of a man behind a dumpster outside a New York restaurant, according to prosecutors.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., said Sunday that the shooting at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner underscored the need to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), arguing that law enforcement officers performed "flawlessly" despite uncertainty surrounding their paychecks. The congressman cast blame on Democrats for "refusing to fund some of the most important law enforcement officers in our country," like the Secret Service, TSA and Coast Guard, on "The Sunday Briefing." "This is a big, big deal that these Democrats are literally playing with the safety of Americans — by the way, Republican, Democrat and other, it doesn't matter what your political perspective is. It's about Americans' safety," he said. TRUMP PRAISED FOR 'STRENGTH' IN MOMENTS AFTER SHOTS RANG OUT AS EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES 'TERRIBLE' SCENE "The fact that [Secret Service] performed so fl...

CVS is disputing a Planned Parenthood claim of a "strategic partnership" on abortion pill access, as the organization’s website no longer includes language that previously referenced such a relationship. "The team that manages our Reproductive Health program is unaware of anything related to that organization beyond standard abortifacient dispensing for individuals with prescriptions," a CVS spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The company added that it "do[es] not have a formal partnership with Planned Parenthood of Greater New York beyond filling prescriptions." CVS added it did not indicate any agreement or coordination with Planned Parenthood beyond dispensing legally prescribed medication. ABORTION PILL MIFEPRISTONE STAYS AVAILABLE BY MAIL FOR NOW AS FDA FACES 6-MONTH REVIEW DEADLINE "There’s a little bit of mystery here," Shawn Carney, president of 40 Days for Life , told Fox News Digital. "CVS is for sure downplaying their role...
