Republican congressman accused of affair with late aide to face runoff election

A GOP congressman accused of having an affair with a staffer who has since committed suicide will see his primary race head to a runoff after Tuesday night. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, failed to clinch more than 50% of the vote in his southwest Texas district after dealing with the scandal for several weeks. Gonzales was accused of having an affair with and sending sexual messages to a married staffer in his Uvalde office, who died after setting herself on fire near her home in September 2025. Gonzales, a married father of six, has pushed back on the allegations and accused the late staffer’s husband of blackmail attempts.

Dan Crenshaw defeated by Cruz-backed state lawmaker in Texas GOP primary, boosting MAGA clout

Four-term Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, lost his Republican primary battle on Tuesday to Steve Toth, a state representative and businessman, following years of turmoil between Crenshaw and the MAGA faction of the Republican Party that questioned Crenshaw's loyalty to Trump. The 2nd Congressional District primary that ended Tuesday with Toth beating out Crenshaw drew a sharp line within the Republican Party. Crenshaw was not formally endorsed by President Donald Trump or Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, endorsed Toth after he reportedly got into a tiff with Crenshaw at the airport over whether the senator was working against the representative's reelection. Ahead of the Tuesday primary, Toth positioned himself as the more loyal conservative, comparing Crenshaw to a "version of Liz Cheney," who, when in Congress, found herself frequently at odds with Trump before exiting public office.

Two young unidentified Black girls found dead inside buried suitcases in Ohio

Police in Cleveland, Ohio, are asking the public for tips after two young Black girls were found dead inside separate suitcases buried in shallow graves on Monday. Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said during a news conference that the girls, believed to be between the ages of 8 and 13 and 10 and 14, were found Monday evening.

America must power AI with speed and discipline — or China will dominate

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the global economy, strengthening national security and redefining geopolitical competition. The hyperscale data centers that power AI are becoming as foundational to this century as railroads and interstate highways were to the last. The Trump administration has made American leadership in AI a priority, accelerating permitting, securing energy supply and clearing barriers to critical infrastructure. That urgency is warranted. China has committed more than $125 billion to artificial intelligence, advanced computing and the energy systems needed to dominate emerging technologies. Beijing understands that whoever controls AI will shape markets and military capability for decades. If the United States hesitates, China will not. But speed without discipline invites backlash, and that backlash can quickly harden into delay, litigation and sometimes outright prohibition. AI RAISES THE STAKES FOR NATIONAL SECURITY. HERE’S HOW TO GET IT RIGHT Acros...

Iranian women's soccer team refuse to sing national anthem in silent protest at Asian Cup

The Iranian women’s national soccer team made quite the statement on Monday night during the opening match of the Women’s Asian Cup, as they refused to sing while their national anthem played over the speakers at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast.  The players were in their customary line before their match against South Korea, when the Iranian national anthem began to play. The women, looking straight ahead and barely moving, were stoic as it appeared there were jeers from the crowd. Later, applause erupted from those in attendance following the 3-0 South Korea victory. Iran’s manager, Marziyeh Jafari, was also seen smiling as she looked upon her players’ silence from the sidelines.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM This silence is particularly deafening following the confirmed U.S.-Israeli strikes over the weekend that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has since counterattacked by firing missiles and drones at Israel and regional ...

BENJAMIN HALL: The hedgehog I took to war -- and the journalist he's become

This week is a special one for me. My first children’s book , "Read All About It!" comes out, and I’m immensely proud of it. I wrote it because I’m a father of four daughters and because I’m a journalist. I wrote it because I look at the world they’re growing up in, and I keep thinking one thing over and over: We have to teach our children how to find the truth — and in this world, that is more difficult than ever. Social media gives everyone a voice, and yes, sometimes it’s a gift, and sometimes it’s the fastest way to get information from people close to the story. MORNING GLORY: LEGACY MEDIA DIDN’T LOSE READERS, IT DROVE THEM AWAY But it’s often half-truths, reused and recycled, with people "reporting" on subjects they know nothing about or places they have never been. And with AI, we’re entering a new era where you can’t trust what you see, what you hear or what’s put in front of you. Today, our children often see clips before context, or outrage before e...

Why Trump invoked regime change in attacking Iran, and the media must learn from past mistakes

Well, so much for all the weekend punditry that was to follow Donald Trump's State of the Union.  And the expert analysis of the tariff confusion caused by the president's loss in the Supreme Court ? That's on hold too.  When Trump unleashed the bombing barrage against Iran, joined by Israeli forces, he did more than take a giant, risky step against the world's leading sponsor of terrorism.  The attacks targeted Iran’s supreme leader, and succeeded in killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a remarkable military achievement.  IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER ALI KHAMENEI DEAD AFTER IDF STRIKE HITS TEHRAN COMPOUND, ISRAELI SOURCE CONFIRMS Behind such pinpoint targeting, Trump uttered a crucial phrase: regime change.  Those words have resonance because they echo George W. Bush’s rhetoric from two decades ago. Bush's announced goal was to topple Saddam Hussein – rather than stopping short, as his father had done – albeit on fictional claims of weapons of mass destruction. And ...
