After Fox News' pollsters found that President Donald Trump's job approval had plummeted to some of his worst numbers ever, the network's on-air talent buried the result while puffing up the president as the "ultimate dealmaker" who is doing "incredible things" and promising that "the whole world" will soon "come kiss the ring of the king." Fox News Digital wrote up the network's latest poll on Wednesday evening, finding Trump's job approval fell to his lowest level of support at least since early in his first term: "Among all voters, 41% approve of the job Trump is doing, while 58% disapprove. Only once have his ratings been lower and that was during his first term, 38-57% in October 2017."

Pennsylvania became the second state to face losing millions in transportation funds after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Thursday he found the state violated federal safety regulations by issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to foreigners.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court is set to weigh in on whether a lower court overstepped its limits when it barred a mother from reading the Bible to her 12-year-old daughter or taking her to church. The state's high court heard oral arguments last week in the case of Bickford v. Bradeen — a battle between judicial authority and parental rights. Liberty Counsel, a faith-based non-profit legal group, is representing Emily Bickford. She is challenging a December 2024 custody order that prohibits her from bringing her daughter, Ava, to Calvary Chapel in Portland, Maine. According to Liberty Counsel, Bickford and Ava's father, Matthew Bradeen, never wed after becoming pregnant with their daughter. Bickford maintained primary custody of Ava, while Bradeen had visitation rights.

Pennsylvania will lose $75 million in federal roads funds unless it gets into compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) licensing requirements for non-domiciled commercial learner's permits (CLP) and non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses (CDL). That is according to an alarming letter DOT sent Wednesday to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll and Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Jeb Jacobi wasn't sure about Sunday night's gathering. The last time he attended a big campus event at Utah Valley University (UVU), he watched from ten feet away as a bullet took Charlie Kirk's life. He can replay the chaotic aftermath—everyone running in different directions, parents shielding their children's eyes. Just two months later, thousands returned to the Orem, Utah, school for a crusade held in Kirk's memory. Jacobi felt relieved it took place indoors, with metal detectors, uniformed officers, and campus security monitoring the crowds that filled the basketball stands.

Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt told Newsmax that Democrats trying to prompt military service personnel to ignore orders from President Donald Trump amounts to "treason." Holt told "The Chris Salcedo Show" on Thursday that the attempt by a group of Democrats to advertise that military personnel should ignore "unlawful" orders is terrible advice. "This is sedition," said Holt. "This is treason."

Under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine advocate who is now Health and Human Services secretary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised its website to say that its previous statement that "vaccines do not cause autism" is "not an evidence-based claim." But it's the revised website that misleads about vaccines. On Nov. 19, the CDC replaced its webpage on autism and vaccines with a new one that leans into the discredited idea that vaccines might cause autism. Numerous rigorous studies have repeatedly failed to identify any link between vaccination and autism.

The FBI spied on a private Signal group chat of immigrants' rights activists who were organizing "courtwatch" efforts in New York City this spring, law enforcement records shared with the Guardian indicate. The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a "courtwatch" Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants' due process rights at those courts.

The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is calling on the Trump administration to establish a federal "critical minerals czar" post, a strategic resources reserve, a critical minerals tax credit, and a "National Center for Rare Earths" to accelerate a mining and refining revival and build a domestic supply chain resilient to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) market manipulation. Those proposals are among 13 recommendations the panel lays out in a 52-page report charting initiatives the nation must quickly implement to overcome China's dominance in producing metals and materials essential in manufacturing modern electronics, from iPhones to F-35 fighters.

Russia has said it is yet to receive anything official from the US on its peace plan, after Ukraine's Volodymr Zelensky said he was ready to work with the Trump administration on its "vision" to bring an end to the war. The widely leaked US plan includes proposals that Kyiv had previously ruled out, such as ceding areas of the eastern Donetsk region that it still controls, reducing its army in size, and pledging not to join Nato. These provisions come across as heavily slanted towards Moscow and received a carefully worded response from Zelensky's office on Thursday. Meanwhile, Russian strikes continue with six people killed overnight - five in the southern Zaporizhzhia region and one in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region.
