Iconic Disneyland attraction must switch to electric vehicles to comply with blue state's emissions standards

Disneyland must swap out the gas-powered engines in the ride cars for the iconic Autopia ride by early next year or the park will be forced to shutter the attraction, according to local reports. The park must comply with California ’s strict emissions regulations by February 2027, according to the Orange County Register.   Autopia was one of the original attractions of the Anaheim theme park when it opened in July 1955, and the only one left in Tomorrowland. Honda , which sponsors the ride, forgot to certify the ride’s engines in an apparent administrative error in 2023, the MouseChat website reported.

JD Vance uncovers the hidden White House dress code President Trump expects from his inner circle

Vice President JD Vance is pulling back the curtain back on President Donald Trump’s strict rules for Cabinet members, specifically the traditional dress code. Speaking on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, Vance explained that Trump’s classic style rules — including a disdain for brown shoes — are rooted in the belief that public officials must honor the institutions they serve. "The president has a certain sense that you ought to respect the place, you ought to respect the institution, respect the office. And one of the ways you do that is by dressing like a normal person," Vance said in the episode released Thursday. "And I think that's — it’s a very old-fashioned thing." NO MORE CASUAL: STATE DEPARTMENT IMPOSES FIRST-EVER DRESS CODE ON DIPLOMATS According to Vance, the president expects his team to always project professionalism, drawing a contrast with the style of many modern-day politicians. He laid out some of the rules, telling Hannit...

WATCH: Tuberville backs Trump’s Iran deal as Democrat blasts ‘surrender’

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are split on President Donald Trump ’s Iran peace deal, with some concerned the deal entails little enforcement, with some praising it as progress toward preventing a nuclear-armed Iran while others warned it could provide Tehran with billions of dollars and insufficient safeguards. Sen. Thomas Tuberville, R-Ala., told Fox News Digital he believes the deal shows progress from the beginning of the war, particularly in disbarring Iran’s nuclear program. "They never can have nuclear weapons and we don't have troops on the ground and we made a lot of progress," Tuberville said. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION UNVEILS SWEEPING TERMS OF PROPOSED IRAN AGREEMENT But many are skeptical on whether the deal is harsh enough in substantially ensuring Iran’s nuclear program will be destroyed throughout the 60-day negotiation period. It postpones nuclear conversations and lacks the authority to completely prohibit Iran from refusing compliance with the framework of the d...

Elite colleges are losing America’s trust. Community colleges can win it back

For decades, so-called top academic schools dominated the cultural conversation about higher education. But inflation and a tough economy have devastated many families’ savings, making affording four-year schools difficult, on top of the AI monster that seems to be eating white-collar jobs alive.  This perfect storm has crushed trust in "elite" schools. But what’s bad news for Harvard and Yale is a fantastic opportunity for community colleges and certification programs across the country to position themselves as the best solution to young Americans’ financial and career concerns.  Elite schools still command prestige, of course. They boast extensive professional networks and deep pockets that can drastically lower six-figure annual prices, and many government and private loans promise college access in exchange for higher incomes as one’s career progresses.
