From ABC license reviews to Comey indictments, Trump's regulatory war on critics enters new phase

The Trump administration is using the immense muscle of federal power to punish media outlets whose coverage is disparaged as overly negative. The president has long used harsh rhetorical attacks against such companies as CNN and The New York Times , as well as individual journalists, and filed a flurry of lawsuits against them. He’s even accused the press of "seditious" conduct. I suppose we’ve grown accustomed to that. But there is a whole new level of escalation that goes beyond intimidation. Trump and his allies are pushing the regulatory levers to force networks to spend enormous time and money to preserve their franchise. And the biggest target right now is ABC. TUNING OUT: WHY MANY AMERICANS ARE SICK OF THE NEWS – ESPECIALLY TRUMP NEWS FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who along with Trump has demanded Jimmy Kimmel ’s firing, has launched a review of the local station licenses connected to the Disney-owned company.

Remains recovered of US soldier who went missing in military exercises in Morocco, 2nd soldier still missing

The remains of a U.S. Army officer who went missing during military exercises in Morocco were recovered from the Atlantic Ocean, while the search continues for a second missing soldier, according to military officials. The remains of 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., 27, of Richmond, Virginia, were recovered Saturday, U.S. Army Europe and Africa announced Sunday. Key, a 14A Air Defense Artillery officer, was one of two U.S. soldiers who reportedly fell from a cliff during an off-duty recreational hike near the Cap Draa Training Area on May 2. A Moroccan military search team found Key in the water along the shoreline at about 8:55 a.m. local time Saturday, roughly one mile from where both soldiers reportedly entered the ocean, the Army said. "Today, we mourn the loss of 1st Lt. Kendrick Key, whose remains were recovered in Morocco," Brig. Gen Curtis King, commanding general of the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, said in a statement. "Our hearts are with his Fam...

Nancy Guthrie was alive when abducted, blood evidence shows 'last stand' on front porch: retired FBI agent

TUCSON, Ariz. — Blood spatter on Nancy Guthrie's front porch shows she was still alive when coerced out of her home by a lone abductor in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson, according to a retired FBI profiler — who also believes that the masked suspect made enough mistakes that he will be identified eventually. "We also know at least that she was alive at that time," said Jim Clemente, who spent 22 years in the bureau. That's based on his analysis of blood on her front porch. There was a concentration of round droplets near the front door, then a thinning trail toward her driveway. NBC HOST SAVANNAH GUTHRIE’S MOTHER TAKEN FROM HOME AS EXPERT RAISES ALARMING NEW THEORIES AMID LACK OF LEADS "She must have aspirated and then coughed up blood with her face very close to the ground, and I don't believe that would have happened had two people been carrying her at that point," he told Fox News Digital. Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-hos...

Where Trump, GOP vs Democrats redistricting battle heads next in wake of key court rulings

President Donald Trump and Republicans are hailing the blockbuster ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court to strike down the state's congressional redistricting ballot measure, which was a major setback for Democrats in the battle for the U.S. House majority. "Huge win for the Republican Party ," the president proclaimed in a social media post on Friday minutes after Virginia's highest court struck down the referendum passed by voters last month. The new map drawn by the Virginia legislature would have given Democrats four more left-leaning House districts in the Commonwealth ahead of this year's midterm elections, when Republicans will be defending their razor-thin majority in the chamber. The Virginia ruling, along with the recent opinion by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court to slash a key Voting Rights Act protection, is giving Trump and the GOP a major boost in their ongoing political fight with Democrats to redraw congressional district maps ahead...

North Korea has updated its constitution to require a retaliatory nuclear strike if leader Kim Jong Un is assassinated, according to a report. The Telegraph reported the change comes amid heightened global tensions following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other officials during a recent conflict.
