Zelenskyy oversees massive attack inside Russia, Ukrainian officials say
Ukrainian forces destroyed dozens of Russian warplanes with a drone attack on air bases deep within Russian territory on Sunday.
Ukrainian forces destroyed 40 aircraft in the attack, which an official says took more than a year to orchestrate. Russia’s defense ministry confirmed the attack on Sunday, saying it struck five airfields.
The operation saw drones transported in containers carried by trucks deep into Russian territory, he said. The drones reportedly hit 41 planes stationed at several airfields on Sunday afternoon, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22M aircraft, the official said.
Moscow has previously used Tupolev Tu-95 and Tu-22 long-range bombers to launch missiles at Ukraine, while A-50s are used to coordinate targets and detect air defenses and guided missiles.

The White House told Fox News that President Donald Trump and his administration were not warned of the attack ahead of time.
Ukraine says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy personally oversaw the drone attack.
“We are doing everything to protect our independence, our state and our people,” Zelenskyy said in a statement.
The strike comes just a day before Ukrainian and Russian officials are set to meet for a second round of ceasefire talks in Istanbul, Turkey.

A series of explosions also struck bridges in Russia near Ukraine’s border on Saturday, though Ukraine has not taken responsibility for the attacks.
A highway bridge over a railway in the Bryansk region was blown up at 10:50 pm (1950 GMT) on Saturday night just as a passenger train carrying 388 passengers to Moscow was passing underneath, Russian investigators said.

Just four hours later, a railway bridge over a highway was blown up in the neighboring Kursk region, showering the road with parts of a freight train, the investigators said.
Girls leave podium when forced to share with trans athlete at state championship
A pair of girls’ track and field athletes did not stand on the medal podium alongside a transgender athlete for high jump at the Oregon state championship on Saturday night.
Footage obtained by Fox News Digital showed the two high school seniors, Reese Eckard of Sherwood High School and Alexa Anderson of Tigard High School, step down from their respective spots on the podium next to a trans athlete who represented Ida B. Wells High School.

Eckard, in fourth place, and Anderson, in third, each finished ahead of the trans athlete, who tied for fifth place. But the two females faced the opposite direction as the other competitors received their medals from officials.
The footage then showed an official confront the two young women, and gesture for them to move away. Eckard and Anderson were then seen walking away from the podium and standing off to the side.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Oregon School Activities Association for a response.
The trans athlete previously competed in the boys’ category in 2023 and 2024, Fox News Digital previously reported.
Eckard and Anderson were praised for not standing on the podium on social media, and were even shouted out by prominent conservative activist Riley Gaines.
CALIFORNIA TOWN RALLIES BEHIND TRUMP AS IT HOSTS TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIP AMID TRANS ATHLETE CONTROVERSY
“We didn’t refuse to stand on the podium out of hate. We did it because someone has to say this isn’t right. In order to protect the integrity and fairness of girls sports we must stand up for what is right,” Anderson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Girls and women making symbolic gestures to protest trans inclusion in sports has become a growing trend in 2025.
On May 17 at a California track and field sectional final, Reese Hogan of Crean Lutheran High School stepped from the second-place spot onto the first-place medal podium after her trans opponent, AB Hernandez stepped down from it. Hogan’s stunt was lauded on social media by Gaines and others.
On April 2, footage of women’s fencer Stephanie Turner kneeling to protest a trans opponent at a competition in Maryland, and subsequently getting punished for it, went viral and ignited global awareness and scrutiny against USA Fencing.
Oregon is one of many Democratic-controlled states that saw transgender athletes compete in girls’ track and field championships this weekend, with other highly-publicized incidents taking place in California, Washington, Maine and Minnesota.
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a nonpartisan research institute, filed a Title IX discrimination complaint against Oregon for its laws that allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports on May 27.
The complaint was filed to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, which has already launched Title IX investigations against the high school sports leagues in California, Minnesota, Maine and Massachusetts.

“Every girl deserves a fair shot – on the field, on the podium, and in life,” said Jessica Hart Steinmann, AFPI’s executive general counsel and vice chair of the Center for Litigation, in a statement.
“When state institutions knowingly force young women to compete against biological males, they’re violating federal law and sending a devastating message to female athletes across the country.”
President Donald Trump signed the “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order on Feb. 5 and his administration has made combating the continued enabling of trans athletes in girls’ sports by Democratic states a priority.
The U.S. Department of Justice has already launched a lawsuit against Maine for its defiance of Trump’s executive order, and the president suggested on Tuesday that federal funding pauses could be coming against California amid the situation involving Hernandez.
Trump says tariff ruling could lead to ‘economic ruination’ of US
President Donald Trump on Sunday said if the courts rule against the administration’s sweeping tariffs, it would mean the “economic ruination” of the country.
The post comes after the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ruled unanimously on Wednesday to block the use of an emergency law to enact punishing import taxes.
Members of the three-judge panel, who were appointed by Trump, former President Barack Obama and former President Ronald Reagan, said Trump has overstepped and does not have “unbounded authority” to impose the tariffs.
FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS 5 TRUMP TARIFF EXECUTIVE ORDERS
“If the Courts somehow rule against us on Tariffs, which is not expected, that would allow other Countries to hold our Nation hostage with their anti-American Tariffs that they would use against us,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday afternoon. “This would mean the Economic ruination of the United States of America!”
Trump administration lawyers have until 5 p.m. Monday to file their response.
TRUMP DENOUNCES COURT’S ‘POLITICAL’ TARIFF DECISION, CALLS ON SUPREME COURT TO ACT QUICKLY
Following the court decision, a federal appeals court on Thursday ruled in favor of the Trump administration, delaying a lower court’s ruling blocking the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to enact a 10% baseline tariff and “reciprocal tariffs.”
The reciprocal taxes, announced by the White House on April 2, were being used by the Trump administration as a negotiating tactic with other countries prior to the court battles.
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit gave the plaintiffs until Thursday to file a response, and the Trump administration until June 9.

Dem lawmaker condemns Trump admin after staff member ends up in handcuffs
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., criticized the Trump administration for “sowing chaos” in communities while announcing that a member of his staff was handcuffed and briefly detained at his New York City office last week.
Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were responding Wednesday to reports that protesters were inside Nadler’s district office in Manhattan. At the time, a protest was taking place outside an immigration courthouse in the same facility as the congressman’s office.
“Based on earlier incidents in a nearby facility, FPS officers were concerned about the safety of the federal employees in the office and went to the location to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those present,” a Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
TRUMP DHS ISSUES WARNING AFTER ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS ATTEMPT TO DISRUPT ARREST
The officers were let inside and came upon four people, the spokesperson said.
“Officers identified themselves and explained their intent to conduct a security check, however, one individual became verbally confrontational and physically blocked access to the office, the spokesperson added. “The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check. All were released without further incident.”
In a video of the arrest posted online, the officers were heard saying that Nadler’s staff were “harboring rioters” and that they were conducting a check. The staff member being arrested can be heard crying during the incident.
In a statement released Saturday, Nadler said the DHS officers “forcefully” entered his office before handcuffing a member of his staff.

“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidation tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,” Nadler said.
“The decision to enter a Congressional office and detain a staff member demonstrates a deeply troubling disregard for proper legal boundaries,” he added. “If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone–and it is happening,” Nadler said, in part.

Nadler further called on Trump and DHS to halt “these dangerous tactics” and to abandon the expedited removal process, which he said denies due process for illegal immigrants and U.S. citizens.
“While no arrests were made and the situation was quickly deescalated, I am alarmed by the aggressive and heavy-handed tactics DHS is employing in New York City and across the country,” he said.
A-list celebs name-dropped in Diddy’s explosive sex trafficking, racketeering trial
Celebrities continue to be name-dropped during explosive testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial.
Whitney Houston, Mike Myers and Mariah Carey are a few A-list stars who came up during testimony in the third week of Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
The testimony in the 55-year-old music producer’s trial began May 12. The disgraced music mogul appeared in court to sit through testimony from another alleged victim, “Mia,” his former assistant Capricorn Clark and celebrity stylist Deonte Nash.
DIDDY KEY WITNESSES COULD HURT PROSECUTION’S CASE DESPITE EXPLOSIVE TESTIMONY: EXPERT
Here’s a look at the celebrities mentioned in court this week.
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey
Diddy’s former executive assistant, Capricorn Clark, mentioned both Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey during her testimony in the sex trafficking trial.
Clark claimed she thought Cassie was talented but was more of a studio artist.
“Why do you think she just had talent as opposed to being very talented?” Diddy’s lawyer asked the ex-assistant.
“Um, talented to me is Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey,” Clark said. “Very talented is that level of performer, entertainer. Cassie was more of a studio artist.”
Clark described a studio artist as “a little bit more comfortable in the vocal booth to have a little bit of things equalized for you and, you know, engineered properly. Less of a live performer.”
DIDDY EX-ASSISTANT DELIVERS ‘MOST EXPLOSIVE’ TESTIMONY YET IN RAPPER’S FEDERAL TRIAL: EXPERT
Mike Myers
Diddy’s alleged victim, who has been allowed to testify under the pseudonym “Mia,” testified she previously worked for Mike Myers.
“What did you do for Mike Myers?” the prosecution asked in court.
“I was his personal assistant,” Mia replied.
Myers was also a celebrity name mentioned during jury questioning ahead of the trial. Myers’ “Austin Powers” features a joke about the disgraced rapper.

Georgina Chapman
Prior to working with Mike Meyers, “Mia,” the alleged victim who worked for Diddy from 2009 until 2017, also worked as a personal assistant for fashion designer Georgina Chapman.
“Who were Georgina’s Chapman’s clients?” the prosecution asked during direct examination.
Mia answered, “It was all like red-carpet celebrity dressing.”
Chapman was previously married to Harvey Weinstein, who is facing a rape retrial in New York, from 2007 until 2021. Chapman filed for divorce in 2017 after multiple women came forward accusing Weinstein of sexual misconduct.
Chapman is the co-founder of the fashion brand Marchesa and has been dating actor Adrien Brody since 2020.

Musicians Nas and Kelis were mentioned during Diddy’s ex-assistant’s testimony. Capricorn Clark claimed Diddy took her to Central Park and threatened to kill her after he learned she had previously worked for Suge Knight.
“Did you ever walk in Central Park other than that one time with Mr. Combs?” Diddy’s defense asked during the cross-examination.
“Earlier that day,” she said. “We, he was giving me the run of the, you know, run of show, what the job would be like. And we walked from the east side of the park to the west side of the park, and we ran into Nas and Kelis in the middle of the park.”

The celebrity stylist, who also worked with Cassie, told the jury Diddy threatened not to release the “Me & U” singer’s mixtape.
“He told her that one time if she keep — if she keeps having a smart-a – mouth, her little mixtape won’t be coming out,” Nash testified.

Miley Cyrus says father Billy Ray has ‘harder time enjoying being sober’
Miley Cyrus is getting candid about her country superstar father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
In a new interview with the New York Times, Miley spoke at length about Billy Ray, the current state of their relationship, how she struggled when he and her mother Tish Cyrus divorced, and more.
During one part of the intimate interview, Miley’s sobriety came up.
She has been open about her choice to abstain from drugs and alcohol, but earlier this year, her famous brother, musician Trace Cyrus, who is sober himself, suggested that Billy Ray was perhaps not making that same choice.
BILLY RAY CYRUS PRAISES EX TISH CYRUS, SAYS FAMILY IS ‘CLOSE TO HEALING’ AFTER YEARS OF FEUDS
Now, Miley is sharing some details about what Billy Ray has been going through.
When asked if she’s ever talked to her father about her own experience with sobriety, she said, “I think he has a harder time enjoying being sober. I kind of enjoy it. I think my dad is somebody that’s like, ‘That would be real nice right now.’ He calls it a good bad habit. Things that make you feel good, but you know they’re bad.”
She continued, “So I think for him, I grew up in a different generation. My dad grew up between the ’60s and the ’80s. It wasn’t normal for you to have your psychiatrist on speed dial. So I think my dad just really didn’t have the support.”
Miley said they don’t “avoid” the subject, “but it’s not really something that’s our table talk.”
“Me and my dad like to talk about music and movies,” she explained. “It’s not something that’s ever been our focus, but it probably should be. We probably should talk about that at some point.”
In January, Billy Ray performed at the Liberty Ball, which was held the night of President Donald Trump‘s inauguration. He experienced some technical difficulties, at one point asking the audience, “Check? Is anybody awake? Y’all want me to sing more, or you want me to just get the hell of the stage?”

Some viewers were so critical that he issued a statement about his performance the next day, sharing on social media, “I wouldn’t have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar and monitors worked or not. I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me. I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night, and I’ve learned through all these years when the producer says, ‘You’re on,’ you go entertain the folks even if the equipment goes to hell.”
He added, “I was there for the people, and we had a blast. That’s called rock n’ roll!!!”
Shortly after that, Trace wrote in an open letter to his father, “You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it.”
At another point in the letter, he wrote, “I love you Dad. We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing. I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help.”
In her new interview, Miley said that she has “a lot of grace” for Billy Ray.
“He grew up in severe poverty, not always having indoor bathrooms,” she shared. “He had rarely, if at all, gone to the dentist by the time he met my mom. No doctor’s appointments. He was raised in a super-small town in Kentucky. I spent some of my life in Nashville, but most of it was in L.A., in a safe neighborhood, and I just can’t even compare our upbringings in any way, shape or form. So I definitely have a really compassionate place in my heart for my dad’s upbringing that I can’t quite understand.”
MILEY CYRUS REUNITES WITH DAD BILLY RAY CYRUS, BREAKS SILENCE ON RUMORED FEUD WITH PARENTS
She was then asked if she believed her father had ever felt “competitive or eclipsed” by her massive fame – while Billy Ray has enjoyed an undeniably successful career in country music, Miley became a child star with Disney’s “Hannah Montana” and has been in the spotlight for decades with a wildly successful music career of her own.
“That has added a level of complexity within my family, for sure,” she admitted. “I think it would be hard for anybody with a dream to see somebody else achieving theirs in a way that you see for yourself. But I do think love conquered all. He can still find the pride in me. But it would be delusional for any of us to think that that doesn’t add a level of complication to our already complicated dynamic.”
When asked if she felt “guilty,” she said that therapy has helped her get rid of “my guilt and shame.”
“I had a hard time accepting that I could suffer, because of how blessed I am,” Miley said. “I don’t think that’s actually played too much of a part between me and my dad, though, because I have to have the faith that, like any dad, he would want this for me.”

She admitted recently to having had “challenges” with Billy Ray over the years, but she told the New York Times that they’re no longer estranged.
“I think timing is everything,” she began. “As I’ve gotten older, I’m respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents — because my mom’s really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard. And so I think I took on some of my mom’s hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain.”
She continued, “But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing. I’m being an adult about it.”

Miley said that it was “hard” at first, “because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, ‘Yes, that’s your dad, but that’s just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.’”
She added, “My child self has caught up.”
National champion gymnast Olivia Dunne performs jaw-dropping move on runway
Olivia Dunne showed off her gymnastics skills on the runway with a jaw-dropping move during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Fashion Show over the weekend.
The national champion gymnast strutted down the walkway in a black and white polka dot bathing suit that featured red bows in the front and down toward her hips. As she reached the end of the aisle, she dropped down in a split.

Dunne smiled as she received some applause from the crowd that packed the show. As she walked back up the runway, she touched hips with musician Xandra Pohl. Dunne also wore a bikini in a separate instance down the runway. She wore a cropped shirt that read, “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.”
The former LSU Tigers gymnast was named a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model last month as she ended her collegiate career.
She was one of four cover models, along with Lauren Chan, Salma Hayek and Jordan Chiles.
Dunne has been one of the most-followed athletes on social media since she joined LSU. She boasts more than 8 million followers on TikTok and another 5.3 million on Instagram. She helped the Tigers to a national championship in 2024, but her final year with LSU was derailed because of an injury.

Costco introduces new version of fan-favorite food court item to mixed member reactions
A beloved Costco food court offering is making a comeback.
The Washington-based wholesale club recently announced it’s bringing back the combo pizza. Only this time, the food offering is in a slightly different form.
Priced at $6.99, the “Combo Calzone” is stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, olives and mushrooms.
COSTCO MUFFINS APPEAR TO BE CHANGING, RANKLING SOME CUSTOMERS ON REDDIT
But not everyone is enamored with the newest menu item.
Costco members on Reddit shared mostly disdain for the calzone concoction.
“Those toppings sound familiar … It’s the combo pizza!” wrote one Reddit user.
“We kept asking for it and it looks like they folded.”
Another Reddit user claimed to have tried it at a Lansing, Michigan, store — calling it “all right.”
UNEXPECTED STATE DOMINATES AMERICA’S PIZZA SCENE AND IT’S NOT NEW YORK
“It’s kind of like a big slice folded on itself, so it has a ‘crust’ … I felt like it was a little overcooked but maybe it was just my location. I don’t think it’d be something I would get very often, but I don’t regret trying it. I think the regular pizza is better.”
“Seems like Costco will do anything but bring back the combo pizza.”
Yet another Reddit user wrote, “Seems like Costco will do anything but bring back the combo pizza.”
Others commented that the promotional pictures of the new calzone aren’t appetizing.
“It even looks overcooked in the photo,” wrote one user.

“Sans picture, the idea of a ‘Costco Calzone’ is wildly appealing to me, but nothing about that photo makes me want to try it,” wrote another person. “Does it even have cheese!?”
“Those pictures are objectively unappetizing,” said another user.
Not everyone was crushing the calzone, however.
Said one user, “Had one today, it was delicious!”
Costco announced in January it would be replacing Pepsi products with Coca-Cola fountain drinks later this year.
The popular churro was discontinued in early 2024.
