A Colorado mother has been charged in connection with the death of her 16-year-old daughter, who prosecutors say drank herself to death and had 173 empty alcohol bottles hidden in her bedroom, authorities announced. Gretchen Leanne Ryan, 55, is charged with second-degree murder , according to the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Her daughter was identified in an obituary as Grace Elizabeth Ryan.

EXCLUSIVE: The White House slammed the "mainstream media" for citing Iranian state media reports that Tehran has no intention of honoring the nuclear inspection commitments that Vice President JD Vance says were agreed upon. Iran has agreed to "robust" inspections of its nuclear sites following the peace talks in Switzerland, according to a U.S. official. A White House official spoke to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, calling the sourcing for widespread reports from mainstream media outlets "propaganda from the Iranian regime."  "For the tireless scolding we hear from the mainstream media about their 'journalistic ethics' and 'integrity of their reporting,' you’d think they would view the misinformation flowing from Iranian state media with a high level of skepticism," a White House official told Fox News Digital.  "Instead, the American press has spent every waking hour of this negotiating process mindlessly parroting hardlin...

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, addressed her closely-watched race against scandal-plagued Democratic candidate Graham Platner , calling him the "antithesis" of the steady leadership she has provided Maine.

He's the antithesis of the steady leadership that I provide and Washington that has delivered real results for the state of Maine and for our nation." Platner, a military veteran and oyster farmer, has spent much of his campaign on the defensive as multiple scandals have rocked his candidacy, including a chest tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol and abuse allegations from former girlfriends.

FIFA tried to ban the pre-revolutionary Iranian flag. Iranian fans at SoFi Stadium made sure everyone saw it anyway.

According to videos and photos shared by the X account Throwback Iran, FIFA and stadium security cranked up screening measures ahead of kickoff, subjecting fans to additional security screenings to keep the banned flag out of the venue.
