An Arizona state lawmaker revealed Monday that federal authorities subpoenaed him for records related to the 2020 election, marking the second publicly confirmed jurisdiction the Department of Justice is investigating over the matter. Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, a Republican, said in a social media post he received the subpoena for material related to the state Senate's 2020 audit last week and complied with it. "Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County," Petersen wrote. "The FBI has the records. Any other report is fake news." The request represents an expansion of a federal probe tied to 2020 after the DOJ initially targeted Fulton County, Georgia. The development also comes as President Donald Trump has grown increasingly outspoken about election security in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms, renewing his attention on disputes ste...

The NYPD has cordoned off a tony Manhattan block near the mayor's residence amid a continuing probe into a potential terror plot involving improvised, ISIS-style bombs. "Due to ongoing police activity, please avoid the area of East End Avenue between 81st Street and 82nd Street in Manhattan," the NYPD wrote on X on Sunday. According to two NYPD sources , the activity is connected to the investigation into devices that were recovered in connection with dueling protests outside Gracie Mansion on Saturday. As of Sunday evening, three devices have been recovered, but only one has been confirmed as an IED, a federal source told Fox News.

During the Shield of the Americas summit in Florida on Saturday, outgoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem thanked President Donald Trump for appointing her to a newly created role after she was ousted from overseeing the agency. Noem, who is moving to the newly created position of special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, showed no ill feelings toward the president and said she was proud of her work at DHS, arguing the department had secured the border and eliminated public safety threats. "I do want to thank the president for creating this and for giving me the honor and the opportunity to serve as a special envoy to this region, to the Western Hemisphere," Noem said during the summit at Trump National Doral outside Miami.  "This Shield of the Americas will be a powerful example to the rest of the world about what’s possible."

Podcaster Joe Rogan had a sharp rejoinder to "Jackass" star and comedian Steve-O on Wednesday about the transgender ideology debate and whether the community is by and large oppressed. Rogan and Steve-O, who have both worked in comedy, spoke on "The Joe Rogan Experience" about the nature of comedy to deal with the morbid and the controversial. Rogan noted that one Native American tribe, the Lakota, had a sacred clown known as a Heyoka, describing it as "a member of the community that was supposed to make fun of everything. And if you couldn't make fun of anything, then you knew something was wrong with that thing. Because if there's a thing that you can't joke around about, that thing has been compromised." Rogan continued, "If there's a thing that you can't make fun of, that thing is usually bulls---, and if that thing is trans people, like, then you are ignoring that there's a glaring hole in this narrative that you'r...

Progressive Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam conceded Wednesday after challenging U.S. Rep. Valerie Foushee in a high-profile, razor-thin North Carolina congressional 4th District Democratic primary race. In a fiery statement posted to social media, Allam accused Democrats of "caving to corporate Super PACs and warmongering lobbies," claiming it was only because of her campaign that Foushee, 69, decided to take "bold stances that voters overwhelmingly support." Among Allam's provocative stances were labeling the Gaza war "genocide," abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and defunding the war with Iran. "We must demand [Foushee] not spend a single taxpayer dollar on forever wars," Allam wrote. "We must demand she actually call the genocide in Gaza what it is: a genocide. We must demand she fight to abolish ICE as they kidnap and murder our neighbors, not just take away their face masks and some of their fund...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had a tense exchange with CNN's Kailtan Collins during Wednesday's briefing heavily focused on Operation Epic Fury against Iran. Collins noted that President Donald Trump is expected to attend the dignified transfer ceremony honoring the fallen soldiers who were killed in the wake of Iran's military response against the U.S. and Israel. She then invoked comments made earlier in the day by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth , who scolded the press for making tragic developments "front-page news" despite the mission's broader successes.  "Is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?" Collins asked.  "No," Leavitt responded. "It's the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing...
