Social media has been flooded with accounts of the 16-year-old lifeguard seen bravely rescuing a younger child from rough waters off the coast of California late last month. Even President Donald Trump took note, praising the teen’s actions and extending a White House invitation. As the New York Post reported:  The family of 16-year-old Ryder Williams has been contacted by President Donald Trump’s staff after the commander-in-chief vowed to honor the rookie rescuer who saved a drowning 10-year-old boy from pounding surf. “The White House has contacted us but there’s been no official date or time,” Ryder’s father, retired firefighter Shane Williams, 54, told The California Post on Saturday. Trump announced the invitation after video of Ryder’s dramatic rescue at Seabright Beach went viral, saying he plans to welcome the teen and his family to Washington, DC, and personally present him with a high civilian honor for his heroism.

Very brave, he deserves it!” Trump said in a post on X.  The California State Parks told Fox News Digital that Williams was on a “safety contact at Seabright State Beach when they observed a child lose his balance and get knocked down by a wave” at 3:32 p.m. on Saturday. “The child was swept into the ocean approximately 15 yards offshore and a State Parks lifeguard made contact with the victim until another lifeguard entered the water to assist. “ The juvenile was successfully pulled from the ocean with no serious injuries and was released to his parents, the agency said. The Santa Cruz State Lifeguard Association (SCSLA) also told Fox News Digital that its lifeguard did an “excellent job” during the rescue, praising him for saving a life.   And here’s a clip of remarks from the rescued 10-year-old boy’s father: "There’s no way I could ever repay him."

A familiar face just returned to the Fox & Friends curvy couch. Steve Doocy was back inside Studio M this week, temporarily rejoining Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade while Lawrence Jones took time away from the show. For longtime viewers, it was a welcome reunion. Doocy spent nearly three decades helping build the morning show before moving into a new coast-to-coast role last year. On July 28, during that short studio return, Doocy put a blunt hindsight question to President Trump about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Steve Doocy: “If you would have known then what you know now would you have fired [Dr. Anthony Fauci].” President Trump: “I would have FIRE him… I didn't listen to him, when he was with Biden he was like a God…” pic.twitter.com/F2xehWIm6D — Thomas Sowell Quotes (@ThomasSowell) July 28, 2026 President Trump answered without hesitation, saying he would have fired Fauci with the benefit of what is known now. Trending Politics News reports that Doocy told his Facebook followers he was filling in for Jones for only a couple of days. He said the brief return gave him a chance to catch up with Earhardt, Kilmeade and the Studio M crew. His update included a photo with the two hosts and a joke about catching up over an “insanely expensive” cup of coffee. The reunion put the familiar three-host lineup back together inside Fox’s New York headquarters. Doocy also made clear that the appearance was not a reversal of his current arrangement. He planned to resume his coast-to-coast assignments the following week, working away from the network’s Manhattan studio. The short homecoming was his first extended run on the famous couch in more than a year, and it placed him back in the interviewer’s chair for President Trump’s comments about Fauci. Fox News Media announced Doocy’s changed role in May 2025. Instead of reporting to the New York studio full-time, the founding co-host began appearing from cities and towns across the country while remaining part of Fox & Friends. The move allowed Doocy to base himself in Florida and report throughout the Southeast, Midwest and beyond. Fox noted at the time that he had joined the network at its 1996 launch and became a Fox & Friends co-host when the program debuted in 1998. That history is why seeing him back beside Earhardt and Kilmeade felt like more than an ordinary guest-host substitution. Doocy may now spend much of his time taking the show to the rest of America, but for a couple of mornings, one of the most recognizable faces in cable news was right back where viewers remembered him.

A medical examiner has now made the ruling that turns the death of 18-year-old Yoseliani Ann Marte Ocasio into a murder investigation. Her death was a homicide. Marte was found with a gunshot wound inside a Mattapan rental property owned by Conan Harris, the husband of far-left “Squad” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). Nearly two weeks after the grim discovery, the case has moved from a death investigation to a confirmed homicide with no arrest publicly announced. The Boston Globe reported that the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner formally ruled Marte’s death a homicide on Thursday, July 30. The 18-year-old died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Boston Police homicide detectives are continuing to investigate the circumstances of her killing. No suspect has been publicly identified, and authorities have announced no charges. The ruling came 12 days after Marte was found on July 18; an autopsy performed the following day established the gunshot wound as the cause of death, while the manner remained pending until the additional forensic work was completed. The homicide finding confirms that her death resulted from another person’s action rather than an accident or self-inflicted injury. The local report also made clear that investigators have not tied Pressley, Harris, or the property’s ownership to the shooting. The political connection is part of the address’s public record, not an allegation that the owners took part in the crime. 18-year-old victim inside Rep. Pressley's husband's home was shot dead, medical examiner confirmshttps://t.co/lkprZbv0y9 — Mass Daily News (@MassDailyNews) July 30, 2026 The police response began shortly before 2 p.m. on July 18, after someone walked into Boston Police District E-18 and reported that a person had been shot at 25 Malta Street. CBS News Boston reported that officers entered the property, conducted a protective sweep, and found Marte in a rear bedroom of the building’s second apartment. She was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy the following day established the gunshot wound as the cause of death, but additional forensic testing was required before the manner of death was finalized. That final determination has now come back: homicide. The incident report placed the body near a rear bedroom in the second-floor apartment; the walk-in report specifically concerned a person who had been shot, prompting officers to enter the building and sweep the residence before locating Marte. The report did not identify the person who alerted police. City property records reviewed by the station list Harris as the owner. The house is a two-story, seven-bedroom rental assessed at roughly $919,000 and had been offered for sale for $1.15 million. Marte’s family had been demanding answers before the medical examiner’s ruling became public. Boston 25 News identified the victim through her mother, Elenie Ocasio, who described her daughter as deeply loved, kind, intelligent, and full of promise. Ocasio said she believed her daughter’s death involved domestic violence and that she wanted justice. Police have not publicly confirmed that allegation or identified a suspect. The grieving mother said she believed she knew who might be responsible, but authorities have not endorsed that claim. Her public appeal centered on finding accountability for her daughter, not on the property’s famous political connection. Friends remembered Marte as intelligent and full of life, with plans for college and a future that was only beginning. A memorial outside the Malta Street property included candles, balloons, teddy bears, and a smiling photograph of the teenager. Las autoridades de Boston, Massachusetts, declararon como homicidio la muerte de Yoseliani Ann Marte Ocasio, una joven dominicana de 18 años, cuyo cuerpo fue hallado el pasado 18 de julio con una herida de bala en una vivienda ubicada en el sector de Mattapan.#elavance pic.twitter.com/OiTZhekMOK — El Avance Media (@elavancemedia) August 2, 2026 Property records identify Harris as the owner of the two-story, seven-bedroom house. Pressley and Harris do not live at the Malta Street address; it is a rental property that had been listed for sale. Police have said there is no indication that the property’s owners are connected to Marte’s death. Pressley’s office offered condolences to the young woman’s family after the body was discovered and said neither the congresswoman nor her family was involved in the incident. The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is responsible for determining the cause and manner of deaths involving violent, suspicious, or unexplained circumstances. Its ruling removes any remaining uncertainty about how Marte died. The unanswered question now belongs to Boston Police: who killed her?

RFK Jr. walked onto CNN Sunday morning as the interview subject. Then he turned the cameras around on CNN. Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy was being pressed by Dana Bash about how America should prepare for another pandemic. Kennedy’s answer began with doctors, constitutional rights and the danger of silencing people who challenge official policy. When Bash tried to move the conversation along, Kennedy refused to let the subject disappear. He accused CNN of “press malpractice” and said a journalist’s job demands fierce skepticism toward authority—the very skepticism he believes vanished when COVID dissenters were marginalized. One of the sharpest moments came when Bash described COVID as a frightening period and Kennedy challenged the network’s role in creating that fear: Dana Bash: “Covid was a scary time.” RFK JR: “You were scaring people.” Bash: "Why are you saying that?" RFK JR: “Because that was the job of CNN. To put the chyrons up on how many people are dying to get people to believe a lie.” pic.twitter.com/JlYDlC3iWL — Patriots For Trump (@PatriotsFob900) August 2, 2026 There is one important correction to the caption circulating with that clip. The official CNN State of the Union transcript records Kennedy saying the network displayed death-count chyrons to get people to comply. The verified transcript does not say “believe a lie.” The interview aired shortly after 9 a.m. Eastern on August 2. Bash opened by asking whether President Trump shared responsibility for the pandemic response because Fauci served during Trump’s first administration. Kennedy answered that President Trump had pushed to reopen the country and blamed the lockdowns for long-term damage to businesses, churches and schools. Bash countered that governors imposed lockdowns while responding to overwhelmed hospitals. The transcript shows that Kennedy tied pandemic readiness to preserving constitutional rights and listening to doctors on the ground. Bash pushed back that she was asking about preventing a future health crisis, not relitigating the past. Kennedy’s response was that suppressing dissent was itself one of the failures that must not be repeated. He said doctors who challenged official policy had been marginalized and vilified. Bash rejected his accusation and said she would not let claims she considered inaccurate go unanswered. The interview then moved through vaccine effectiveness, measles and autism research. Bash cited public-health studies and repeatedly challenged Kennedy’s assertions, while Kennedy demanded that she identify the evidence behind the claims she was repeating. That sequence is essential context. CNN did not give Kennedy an uncontested platform, and Kennedy did not limit his criticism to one chyron or one disputed medical claim. That exchange is what made the interview bigger than another argument over Anthony Fauci or vaccines. Kennedy was questioning who held power accountable when the country was afraid—and what happens when the press begins defending authority instead. This was a long-overdue moment on CNN. RFK Jr. called out the network on air for helping to silence dissent during COVID. Dana Bash was getting visibly irritated, after she repeatedly tried to move the conversation away from censorship. Then he aimed his fire at Dana Bash… pic.twitter.com/yHmIxjgz25 — Overton (@overton_news) August 2, 2026 The documentary record makes that question impossible to dismiss as mere hindsight. In Murthy v. Missouri, the Supreme Court described extensive communications between federal officials and social-media companies during the pandemic. Platforms were removing, demoting and fact-checking posts that contained claims they considered false or misleading. The record covered contacts involving the White House, the Surgeon General’s office and the CDC. Lower courts concluded that some of those communications crossed the line into coercion and entered an injunction restricting future contacts with the platforms. The Supreme Court reversed that result because the plaintiffs lacked standing to obtain the forward-looking injunction they requested. The majority found that the plaintiffs had not sufficiently tied likely future moderation decisions to the named government defendants. That was a ruling about standing. The justices did not issue a merits holding that federal officials violated the First Amendment, and the decision did not erase the documented communications that drove the case. That distinction matters. The constitutional lawsuit ended without the sweeping judgment either side wanted, while the political and journalistic accountability questions remained. The Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government later concluded that federal pressure and Big Tech moderation had suppressed Americans’ speech. Its final report highlighted Mark Zuckerberg’s acknowledgment that the Biden White House pressured Facebook over COVID content, including humor and satire. The committee also said its investigation exposed a larger network of government agencies, technology platforms and outside organizations involved in policing contested speech. The committee released its findings in December 2024 after hearings, subpoenas and interviews conducted across the previous Congress. Its four-part staff report ran thousands of pages and covered disputes involving social-media moderation, federal law enforcement, intelligence officials and advertiser pressure. Among the outcomes it claimed were changes to platform policies and the dissolution of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media. The committee presented those developments as evidence that congressional scrutiny had forced institutions to retreat from systems that punished lawful political speech. Those are the receipts sitting behind Kennedy’s challenge to CNN: Americans were not imagining that powerful institutions coordinated around what the public was allowed to see and say. That does not mean every dissenter was right. Some claims were false, reckless or unsupported. A serious press should challenge those claims aggressively. But it should challenge government officials, health agencies and favored experts just as aggressively. Skepticism cannot become a one-way weapon reserved only for people outside the approved circle. HOLY CRAP! Sec. Bobby Kennedy just OBLITERATED Dana Bash to her face "I'm not debating this with you. Of course you won't. All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say, 'Trust the experts!' That's what you did during Covid.” “Now we know that Anthony… — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 2, 2026 Bash never conceded Kennedy’s case. She challenged him repeatedly and defended her role as questioning public officials and consulting experts. That is exactly why the exchange landed. For once, the people who spent the pandemic demanding answers were not outside the studio being labeled and dismissed. The argument was brought directly to one of the country’s biggest news networks, live on its own air. And CNN had to answer. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

Louisiana has opened a state investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci, making it the third state to begin examining his conduct after a dramatic Senate appearance last week. Attorney General Liz Murrill announced Saturday that Louisiana will join Alabama and Florida in investigating Fauci and whether he committed crimes within their jurisdictions. The move came three days after Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right during sworn testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Fauci lied. Louisiana and Missouri deposed Dr. Fauci. At the time, he claimed to not recall many key details of his own actions and now we are discovering contemporaneous records he kept. Louisiana will join Alabama & Florida in investigating Fauci and whether he committed any… pic.twitter.com/QWFI3GxeoM — Attorney General Liz Murrill (@AGLizMurrill) August 1, 2026 Fox News reports that Murrill’s office is reviewing whether Fauci violated Louisiana law, while the attorneys general of Alabama and Florida have launched their own state-level inquiries. Murrill pointed to a deposition Louisiana and Missouri took from Fauci in earlier litigation. She said Fauci claimed at the time that he could not recall key details about his own actions, while newly uncovered contemporaneous diary entries now appear to preserve his thinking from that same period. The report says Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier opened an investigation in July, while Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall disclosed his state’s inquiry after Fauci’s Senate testimony. Murrill’s announcement gives the state-level review a third jurisdiction and another set of investigative tools. Investigators will still have to identify a specific state offense and evidence that supports it. Murrill’s point is that the gap between Fauci’s earlier memory claims and his contemporaneous records warrants a closer look. The Associated Press reported that Fauci declined to answer questions more than 100 times at Wednesday’s hearing. His attorney said the answers could expose him to prosecution despite former President Joe Biden’s sweeping federal pardon. The Fifth Amendment protects every American from being compelled to incriminate himself, and invoking it is not an admission of guilt. It also does not require state investigators to stop following evidence that may fall under state law. The Boston Herald is right. Americans have a right to be skeptical of the decisions and recommendations Dr. Fauci made. We deserve to know the truth about what took place, especially when he was saying one thing publicly and something completely different in his diary.… pic.twitter.com/mIV8sQ206s — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) August 1, 2026 That distinction could be decisive. A presidential pardon reaches federal offenses, not violations of state law. Louisiana, Alabama and Florida would still need jurisdiction, admissible evidence and a viable statute before any charge could be brought. Biden’s pardon does not settle those state questions for them. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee confirms that Fauci appeared under subpoena on July 29. Chairman Rand Paul has said the committee was seeking answers about the origins of COVID-19, gain-of-function research and Fauci’s public statements during the pandemic. The official record lists Fauci as the hearing’s sole witness and preserves the committee’s video of his sworn appearance. That means the public can judge the exchange itself, including the questions asked, the privilege claims made and the areas where senators say the newly obtained records conflict with the account they previously received. Millions of Americans lived under rules shaped by Fauci’s recommendations. Businesses closed, children lost classroom time, churches faced restrictions and families were separated from loved ones. The officials who exercised that much power owe the public a complete account of how their decisions were made. Paul is now pursuing another route inside Congress. My plan, moving forward, is for the HSGAC to vote on contempt charges for Anthony Fauci. Once it passes the committee, we would send the referral directly to the DOJ for prosecution. pic.twitter.com/IIDHFlcnrn — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) July 30, 2026 Whether that effort advances will depend on the committee, the legal scope of Fauci’s privilege claims and the Justice Department. The state investigations, however, are already broadening the accountability fight beyond Washington. For years, Americans were told to trust the experts and stop asking uncomfortable questions. Now three state attorneys general are asking their own questions, with investigative authority behind them. Fauci is entitled to every constitutional protection. The American people are entitled to the truth. Those principles are not in conflict, and Louisiana is right to determine whether its laws were broken.
