The one pipeline that supplies water for millions of visitors in Grand Canyon was badly damaged by flash flooding over the weekend, setting up a complicated repair scenario and disrupting a yearslong project to upgrade the aging line across rugged terrain where helicopters are often needed for even basic maintenance. Park officials estimate after conducting flyovers that about 40% of the pipeline sustained damage. The 12.5-mile long Transcanyon Waterline has suffered dozens of breaks in recent years. A more than $200 million repair and replacement project was well underway when the floods began. The long-term impacts on the park’s infrastructure, visitors and year-round residents were not immediately clear. BELOVED TEXAS CHIROPRACTOR KILLED IN GRAND CANYON FLASH FLOOD, 2 FRIENDS STILL MISSING AFTER HIKE "We anticipate miles of the pipeline being destroyed," Grand Canyon Deputy Superintendent Brian Drapeaux said. A full survey of the devastation will not be completed until Tu...

The House of Representatives is back in town after not voting since July 23. But the House is only back for less than a week. And the Senate doesn’t even return until Monday, September 14. The first day of school, this is not. House members descending on the Capitol this week – then abandoning Washington for Labor Day is kind of like the third and final preseason game in the NFL. THE WILL OF 100: TRUMP’S SAVE AMERICA ACT SIDELINED AFTER SENATE UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO AUGUST EXIT Lots of fans show up for the first game of the NFL preseason. It’s usually a nice – if sweltering – August night. Not some bone-shivering chill in Cleveland with a foot of snow on the ground in mid-December. There’s anticipation. The first look at the new team. The first tailgate. First-string players and highly touted draft picks even play a series or two. But by the third preseason game, few want to be there. The die is cast for the roster spots. Players are cut. Even the most robust fans only show up for a qu...

FIRST ON FOX: A multi-agency operation in Arizona ’s Yuma Sector led to the arrest of 95 illegal alien truck drivers earlier this month, striking at the heart of human and drug smuggling operations at the U.S. southern border. All 95 drivers had acquired state-issued commercial driver’s licenses; 76 from California , six from New York and the rest from a handful of other states, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The apprehensions continue to demonstrate the high volume of narcotics and human trafficking smuggling operations that are alive and well at the border — even as immigration numbers have plummeted in recent months. CHAOTIC BORDER CHASE ENDS WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FOUND CRAMMED IN SEMITRUCK SLEEPING AREA "We are committed to protecting our citizens from all international threats, whether that is from unlicensed or untrained drivers, or transnational criminal organizations engaged in human or drug trafficking," Acting Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle ...

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy on Sunday teased an upcoming announcement about the Trump administration's fraud crackdown. In a post on X, Duffy said there would be "unprecedented fraud crackdown" announcement on Monday. "TOMORROW: UNPRECEDENTED FRAUD CRACKDOWN," the secretary wrote. WHITE HOUSE LAUNCHES INTERACTIVE MAP TRACKING BILLIONS IN SUSPECTED FRAUD In the post, he also tagged Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Justice and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, suggesting a multi-department effort targeting fraud. Duffy did not disclose details of the announcement, including when or where it will take place, what type of fraud will be discussed or whether any arrests have been made. The announcement comes amid the administration's broader crackdown on fraud. Trump established the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud in March to...

The insanity defense planned by a North Carolina mother accused of killing her son has drawn parallels to Lindsay Clancy’s trial and raised questions about whether it could become prevalent in criminal cases. Andrea Faust, 41, is charged with murder and attempted murder in the Feb. 12 death of her 3-year-old son and the attempted murder of her 2-year-old son at their home in Durham, North Carolina. Her attorneys have filed notice that they intend to rely on defenses of not guilty by reason of insanity and diminished capacity, WRAL reported . The case is drawing parallels to Clancy’s Massachusetts trial. Retired Massachusetts Superior Judge Jack Lu said he expects similar defenses to be raised more often as the Clancy case draws national attention to postpartum mental-health conditions.

Shark sightings are on the rise this summer in southern Maine, with local law enforcement urging beachgoers to be cautious in the water as several white sharks have been caught on camera. Researchers say reported white shark sightings are up this year, though the increase may partly reflect favorable beach weather and more people actively looking for the predators. "I would say there’s no question that there’s been a lot more sightings this year. Does that translate into a higher number of sharks is a little bit of a nuanced question. There’s a lot of things to consider in there," said Dr. Walt Golet, assistant professor of marine sciences at the University of Maine.  MULTIPLE SHARKS SPOTTED AT POPULAR BEACH THAT SAW DEADLY ATTACK 5 YEARS AGO "While sighting reports are very helpful, the number of sightings reported to us is often influenced by nice weather and the number of people at the beach," said Matt Davis, marine resource scientist at the Maine Department of...

Icelanders voted Saturday on whether to reopen negotiations to join the European Union, with President Donald Trump 's push for U.S. control of neighboring Greenland adding a new security dimension to a debate that has divided the NATO ally for years. Iceland, strategically positioned in the North Atlantic and roughly 180 miles from Greenland, has no military of its own and relies on NATO and a longstanding defense agreement with the United States for its security, according to RTE and The Associated Press. Trump's repeated interest in acquiring Greenland has unsettled some Icelanders and raised questions about whether closer ties with the EU could provide another layer of security for the island nation, the AP reported. TRUMP SAYS NATO FAILED TWO KEY TESTS DURING HIGH-STAKES TURKEY SUMMIT: 'NOT HAPPY' Roughly 275,000 eligible voters were asked whether Iceland should resume membership negotiations with the EU.

A gunfight between a man with an extensive arrest record and two police officers in Columbia, South Carolina , left one officer dead and another wounded on Saturday morning. The two officers responded to a domestic dispute call just after 9:30 a.m. at a residence where a woman said a man she had a restraining order against was in her home destroying property. By the time the officers arrived, he had left the scene, but they found him about an hour later and a "gunfight" ensued. MARINE VETERAN LAS VEGAS POLICE OFFICER KILLED IN SHOOTING; ARMED SUSPECT ALSO DEAD "Our hearts are broken this evening," Columbia police Chief W.H. "Skip" Holbrook said at a news conference later Saturday. "We gather under the worst of circumstances you could possibly imagine. We’re deeply hurt." Holbrook added, "It’s with heartbreak and sadness that I inform you that one of our officers has succumbed to his injuries." SEA OF BLUE FLOODS CHICAGO FUNERAL FOR SLA...

The socialist Democrat primed to represent much of America’s birthplace in Congress profanely erupted Thursday at Democrats distancing themselves from far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who once suggested the U.S. deserved the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Northwest Philadelphia, is one of several democratic socialists running in November as some prominent Democrats condemn or distance themselves from Piker over his radical left-wing positions and controversial comments. "This is what the institutionalists are focusing their efforts on now: Disavowing Hasan Piker," Rabb tweeted Friday . WHO IS HASAN PIKER? MEET THE FAR-LEFT STREAMER WHO IS STIRRING UP CONTROVERSY AND DIVIDING DEMOCRATS "Not White Christian nationalists? Not the broligarchs? Not the AI overlords? Nope, the guy encouraging young people to use their collective political power for good," Rabb wrote. "F--- that noise." SOCIALIST HOUSE NOMINEE'S RADICA...

The Cincinnati Reds’ clubhouse was in a celebratory mood after a 10-8 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. The Cubs, however, had little to celebrate after their bullpen struggled to contain Cincinnati’s late-inning surge. Much of the postgame conversation centered on home plate umpire Bill Miller and a game he will likely want to forget. Miller went 0-for-8 on automated ball-strike system challenges, with every challenged call overturned. The Cubs won five challenges, while the Reds won the remaining three. BASEBALL IS CHANGING FOREVER WITH ROBOT UMP CHALLENGES The game’s first overturned call came relatively early in the matinée, when Miller initially ruled Reds pitcher Rhett Lowder’s fastball a ball. A successful ABS challenge confirmed that the pitch landed within the edge of the strike zone. Miller’s night did not improve from there. Seven more calls were successfully challenged before the final out, with only two of the eight disputed pitches initially ruled strikes. Four p...

A federal judge on Thursday again blocked President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail-in voting , halting the directive, at least for now, for a second time with only about a week before the first mail ballots are expected to be sent out for the upcoming midterm elections. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a 14-day temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the new U.S. Postal Service rule implementing the order. The ruling is likely to be quickly appealed and could soon make its way back to the Supreme Court, days after the nation's highest court handed down a procedural decision that allowed the administration to move forward. Thursday's ruling comes after Democrats and voting rights groups refiled their lawsuits to comply with the recent Supreme Court decision. The high court did not address the legality of Trump’s order, only finding that Talwani had acted too soon. JACKSON RIPS INTO SUPREME COURT COLLEAGUES' 'SERIOUS LEGAL ERRO...

Caitlin Clark found herself at the center of another viral moment after the Indiana Fever’s overtime win over the Atlanta Dream earlier this month. As Angel Reese reacted to a missed potential game-winning layup in the final seconds of regulation, cameras captured Caitlin Clark smiling in the background as the Dream forward was consoled by teammate Rhyne Howard. It was not immediately clear what prompted Clark’s reaction, but social media quickly turned the clip into a viral meme. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The exchange added another chapter to the long-running Clark-Reese rivalry, which dates to Reese’s "You can’t see me" gesture toward the then-Iowa star during the 2023 national championship game. On this week’s episode of the "Post Moves" podcast, Boston addressed Clark’s viral moment alongside co-host and Basketball Hall of Famer Candace Parker. During a discussion about the Aug. 16 Fever-Dream matchup, P...

A small airplane crashed into shallow waters near a remote coastal town in Alaska on Wednesday, killing all four people on board, according to officials. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-260, was heading for an airport in the small town of Seldovia after taking off from Merrill Field Airport in Anchorage when it crashed at around 1:18 p.m., the Alaska Department of Public Safety said in a statement. Seldovia's airport is about 136 miles southwest of Anchorage. "Alaska State Troopers were notified that a small plane had crashed in the Seldovia Slough," the statement reads. TWO US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS EMPLOYEES AMONG 8 KILLED IN ALASKA CHARTER PLANE CRASH A helicopter crew from Anchorage was dispatched to the crash site and other troopers were sent by boat from Anchor Point.

Gogel released a statement claiming that he placed "small recreational wagers on golf" in 2024 without knowing he did so.

Despite Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed denying ties to socialism, a Republican Michigan lawmaker warned his policy agenda tells a different story and predicted voters will reject it in November. "Abdul El-Sayed can't define what a woman is, so I'm not surprised he can't define what socialist is," Michigan state Rep. Bill G. Schuette told Fox News Digital. "The facts are all the policies he supports are emblematic of the DSA movement and of this really far-left socialist idea." El-Sayed, a former public health official, narrowly defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., securing an upset victory for the party’s progressive wing in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary earlier this month. His nomination follows multiple primary victories by candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), including in New York, Florida and Colorado.

The Trump administration has directed U.S. embassies and consulates around the world to postpone immigrant visa interviews while consular officers complete training on new public-charge guidance, temporarily stalling applications that have reached the interview stage. The State Department told diplomatic posts to reschedule immigrant visa interviews until consular officers complete the training on how to evaluate whether an applicant is likely to become a public charge. A public-charge determination can make an immigrant visa applicant inadmissible under federal immigration law if officials determine the person is likely to become dependent on certain forms of public assistance after arriving in the U.S. "In early August, we launched a global training initiative at all of our embassies and consulates worldwide. To accommodate this in-depth training, appointments for visa services will be adjusted," a State Department official said in a statement. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROPOSE...

A man accused of gunning down a customer during a Bronx deli robbery is also wanted in connection with a deadly Brooklyn shooting two days earlier, police said. The suspect, identified by the NYPD as 31-year-old Jesus Acosta, is being hunted in connection with two deadly shootings that unfolded days apart across New York City , police told Fox News Digital. The latest attack happened around 12:16 a.m. Tuesday at 149 Grill & Deli at 143 East 149th Street in the Bronx, where a gunman approached a 33-year-old man and opened fire, striking him multiple times in the chest, according to police and FOX 5 New York .

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon's denial that she is a socialist despite her membership in the Democratic Socialists of America should alarm voters as much as her surprise primary victory did, a lawmaker who fled Fidel Castro's Cuba told Fox News Digital. Nixon, who upset Trump impeachment witness Alexander Vindman in last week's Democratic primary , told NBC News on Sunday that she is "not a socialist," despite acknowledging her DSA membership. She said she joined the far-left group because of its platform on public housing, healthcare, veterans and removing big money from politics. "She's either a bona-fide socialist, or she's not very smart, because she ended up being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America," Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital. "I don't know what the heck she thought she was joining… Socialists [and] communists, deny what they are until they get into power," Gimenez said. H...

An Arizona grandfather is preparing to undergo an above-knee amputation of his right leg after he tripped and fell while walking outside in Bullhead City during 120-degree heat earlier this month, according to his family. Grant Siler, 72, fell during a walk on Aug. 3 in Bullhead City, causing his body temperature to rise to more than 105 degrees. The family’s GoFundMe said Siler was on the ground for an estimated at least an hour before a passerby found him. The fundraiser said he suffered second and third-degree burns in multiple areas of his body, heat stroke and multiple organ shock.

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). While failures by people, medical professionals and systems around Lindsay Clancy deserve scrutiny, nothing should erase a parent’s responsibility for killing a child, according to a veteran prosecutor who said he's concerned that public support for the Massachusetts mom is overshadowing the killing of her three young children. Clancy is accused of killing her three young children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — and trying to end her own life by dropping from a second-floor window after sending her husband to pick up takeout and something from a pharmacy, according to the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office. But as the case has drawn national attention, Clancy has also attracted supporters both online and in-person at the courthouse, and experts have warned that that support has taken attention away from the victims.
