JONATHAN TURLEY: Democratic Socialists want to remake America in their image. That’s terrifying

"Imagine the end of capitalism." Those words in the Democratic Socialists of America manifesto offer Americans a world without landlords, debt, mandatory work hours, and "food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation ... are common goods and utilities." The left often refers to radical changes as "reimagining" everything from police to the Supreme Court to prisons to borders. However, the rise of socialists in the Democratic Party has moved such claims from the merely rhetorical to the outright revolutionary. The release of the DSA platform on Bastille Day, July 14, was fitting since the Jacobins pushed for the same unicameral system that the socialists are now advocating.The platform promised to change the constitutional system and end the rule of "the same criminal class of billionaires and war profiteers."

2 Colombian nationals arrested in stolen Mercedes linked to violent California carjacking

Two Colombian nationals were arrested in California after automated license plate readers alerted authorities to a stolen Mercedes-Benz linked to a violent carjacking days earlier, officials said. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 had been reported stolen during a violent carjacking and assault with a deadly weapon in Hawthorne, California, on July 11, according to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department news release. Days later, deputies received an alert from an automated license plate reader showing that the car was traveling through Rolling Hills Estates. As deputies searched for the vehicle, they learned it had also been linked to a residential burglary that had recently occurred in Torrance, authorities said.

WATCH: Josh Hawley issues blistering rebuke of McConnell over ‘obligation’ to country

As questions persist about Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell ’s condition, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., issued a blistering rebuke about his team’s handling of the crisis, reminding them of their "obligation to your constituents." The 84-year-old former Senate majority leader has been absent from the upper chamber for over a month now after a fall at his home left him hospitalized. His absence, coupled with the sudden death of late Sen. Lindsey Graham, leaves Senate Republicans down two crucial votes amid a dead sprint to wrap up key parts of President Donald Trump's agenda. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Hawley, a conservative populist, said he wishes McConnell and his family well and hopes for a recovery. At the same time, however, Hawley said that "at a certain point you do have an obligation to your constituents and the country to tell them what’s going on." MCCONNELL FACES FRESH CALLS TO COME CLEAN ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES "To be down a vote," Haw...

How to watch Argentina vs Spain: Live stream the 2026 FIFA World Cup final match

The two soccer powerhouses will look to etch their names in the history books and become World Cup champions when they play at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

The older brother of former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been charged after Honolulu police say he allegedly tried to lure several children to his Waikīkī hotel room by offering them gum and money, as his family says he is continuing to receive psychiatric treatment.

SEE IT: Massive NYC homeless encampment fuels backlash against Mamdani

A sprawling homeless encampment stretching roughly 12 blocks along Manhattan’s West Side is alarming people who live, work and visit nearby, with several telling Fox News Digital that the city is not doing enough to address the tents, trash and reported illegal activity. "I think it’s embarrassing," said Joan G., a woman who did not want to reveal her last name told Fox News Digital near the encampment. A nearby construction-site security guard who identified himself only as "Joe the Dog Man" also criticized the city’s response. "I just don't think enough is being done," he said. HOUSING FIRST IS A DISASTER. I SAW SACRAMENTO'S HOMELESS CHAOS FIRSTHAND Mamdani initially paused encampment sweeps after taking office, fulfilling an early campaign promise, but later introduced a revised removal policy that gives homeless-services teams seven days to conduct outreach before an encampment can be dismantled. "They gotta clean them up, they gotta keep ...

WATCH: Lawmakers reveal where they stand on congressional term limits after recent health scares

Amid renewed questions of age and health in Congress , lawmakers are split on whether they should implement some form of term limits, capping the number of terms any one person can serve as an elected federal representative. Despite the relative popularity of the idea of term limits, the debate hinges on whether implementing such a policy would inhibit voter choice and make it harder for Capitol Hill to retain institutional expertise. That’s the concern of Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont. 'THIS IS NOT NORMAL': AOC UNLOADS ON MCCONNELL'S PROLONGED ABSENCE "The voters will decide who they want. We have term limits, and we have age limits and that is the voter. And if they decide they want to elect an 80-year-old or 100-year-old that's up to the voters," Sheehy said. Rep. Glen Grothman, R-Wisc., echoed Sheehy’s thinking. "I think the voters — when they’re electing, if they want to elect Grassley, you shouldn’t take that right away from them," Grothman said, ref...
