President Donald Trump gave rare praise to the press in the aftermath of shots fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday night that led to the evening's rescheduling. "This was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press, and in a certain way it did, because the fact that they just unified," Trump said at a White House press briefing. "I saw a room that was just totally unified. It was, in one way, very beautiful, a very beautiful thing to see." Trump's comments came after he confirmed that the dinner would be canceled in accordance with security protocol despite how he "fought like hell" to have it continue. He reiterated his intention to have the event rescheduled within the next month.

Washington, D.C.’s homicide count has dropped sharply this year, falling by roughly half compared to the same period in 2025, as the Trump administration points to an aggressive federal crackdown in the nation’s capital. The administration has credited the appointment of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro , a surge of federal agents and the deployment of National Guard troops with driving the decline. But criminologists say similar drops are playing out nationwide and caution that it is difficult to tie the improvement to any single policy, setting up a debate over what is actually behind the shift. There have been 20 murders at this point in 2026, compared to 42 in the same timeframe in 2025, alongside Pirro’s tough enforcement posture and an increased visible law enforcement presence. The nation’s murder rate overall is at its lowest since 1900, which President Donald Trump has credited to his border policies. As for D.C., the White House said that Trump's crime task force has yiel...

I spend my days inside fraud networks most Americans never see — dark web forums, Telegram channels and marketplaces where stolen identities are bought and sold like commodities. I study them because understanding how these systems work is the only way to stay ahead of them. What I’m seeing right now should concern every American. Iran, North Korea, Russia and China are not just conducting cyberattacks against the United States. They are running coordinated financial fraud operations inside our system — deliberately, systematically and in ways our defenses were never designed to detect. This isn’t ordinary crime . It’s statecraft. ALARMING RISE OF FAKE LEGAL REQUESTS: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR PRIVACY While policymakers rightly focus on Iranian cyber threats to power grids and water systems, a quieter operation is already underway, and this is one that reaches directly into the U.S. financial system using the same tools as everyday fraudsters. Iran has spent decades building what ...

His arms are short, but he’s really good, so the refrain remained: "No worries." Why then did Rueben Bain slide to the middle of the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday? Whoever said neither issue would cause Bain to fall out of the Top 10 was obviously wrong. He fell to the No. 15 overall selection held by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . TRAVIS HUNTER GETS REAL ON HIS AND SHEDEUR SANDERS' NFL FUTURES: 'WE JUST GOING TO WORK' And judging by Bain's demeanor during his post-draft interview on ESPN , he wasn't thrilled about it. "I know I'm the best in the country , I'm sure," an unsmiling Bain told ESPN's Laura Rutledge after his selection. "That's how I think of myself. "I'm telling you I can do anything I put my mind to because of my mindset. I kn...
