Hillary ripped as ‘massive liar’ after scathing reaction to Trump’s plan to fix DC crime
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was slammed on social media Monday after she dismissed President Trump’s efforts to combat crime in Washington, D.C. as “unhinged” with other top Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, receiving similar pushback.
“As you listen to an unhinged Trump try to justify deploying the National Guard in DC, here’s reality,” Clinton posted on X on Monday, along with a DOJ press release from early January of this year, in conjunction with Trump’s press conference announcing the federalization of the nation’s capital to combat crime. “Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low.”
Clinton’s post immediately drew pushback from conservatives on social media, including from inside the White House, with many making the case that crime in Washington, D.C. has gotten out of control.
“On top of being a big-time loser, you’re also a massive liar,” White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson posted on X along with an article headline about a D.C. police commander being suspended for allegedly altering crime data.

“If Hillary Clinton thinks DC is safe, she should go move to Anacostia or Navy Yard,” conservative communicator Steve Guest posted on X.
Jeffries posted a similar reaction to Clinton on social media saying, “Violent crime in Washington, D.C. is at a thirty-year low. Donald Trump has no basis to take over the local police department. And zero credibility on the issue of law and order. Get lost.”
Conservatives on social media ripped Jeffries as well.
“A selection of headlines in our nation’s capital this month,” NRCC deputy executive director Jack Pandol posted on X along with several news headlines of recent violent crime in DC.
“Why do Democrats always take up for thugs, violent criminals, and illegals over law abiding citizens?”
“Democrats are lining up to oppose crime being lower in DC,” Outkick founder Clay Travis posted on X. “It’s bonkers.”
TRUMP VOWS TO MAKE DC ‘SAFER’ AND ‘BEAUTIFUL’ AS CAPITAL BATTLES CRIME AND HOMELESSNESS
“Democrats like Jeffries would rather preserve dangerous cities than admit their policies fail,” GOP Congressman William Timmons posted on X.
“IN FACT, murder is the most violent and accurately measured crime, and the D.C. murder rate in 2024 was 83% higher than in 2012,” the social media account for the nonprofit research institute Just Facts posted on X.
“Jeffries’ stat is deceitful because it ignores the FBI’s warning against “making any direct comparison” of its crime data over time given that “changes in police procedures, shifting attitudes toward crime and police, and other societal changes can affect the extent to which people report and law enforcement agencies record crime.”
Trump said in the Monday press conference that he is federalizing the D.C. police department to curb spiraling violence.
“The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogota, Colombia, Mexico City, some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth, much higher,” Trump said Monday. “This is much higher. The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years, and the number of carjackings has more than tripled. Murders in 2023 reached the highest rate, probably ever. They say 25 years, but they don’t know what that means because it just goes back 25 years can’t be worse.”
Trump whipped out charts showing the media that the nation’s capital allegedly suffers worse crime trends than other cities worldwide, calling on them to “take a look at numbers” as he rattled off the data’s findings.
“Look at these. Baghdad is… we doubled up on Baghdad. Panama City, Brasilia, San Jose, Costa Rica, Bogota, Colombia. Heavy drugs. Mexico City, I mentioned Lima, Peru, all double and triple what they are. So do you want to live in places like that? I don’t think so. I don’t think so. And I think the people in this room, if you wrote correctly, you’d see. Look at the kind of numbers we have. D.C. 41 per 100,000 (for homicides in 2023). No. 1 that we can find anywhere in the world. Other cities are pretty bad, but they’re not as bad as that. That the way you want to live? The reporters of the world? Juvenile offenders and crimes against persons as they say, it’s getting worse, not getting better. It’s getting worse,” he continued.
The nation’s capital in the following years has been rocked by shootings that have left innocent children shot and dead, a trend of juveniles committing carjackings that have turned deadly in some cases, shoplifting crimes and attacks on government employees, summer interns and others, including the fatal shooting of 21-year-old congressional intern, Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, in June.
Trump’s opponents have cited crime statistics showing crime in Washington is on the decline. Violent crime is down 26% this year, in comparison to the same timeframe in 2024, according to Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department. Likewise, assaults with a dangerous weapon are down 20%, and homicides are down by 12%.

“This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we’re going to take our capital back,” he said. “We’re taking it back under the authority vested in me as the president of the United States. I’m officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. You know what that is. And placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. … In addition, I’m deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order and public safety in Washington, DC. And they’re going to be allowed to do their job properly.”
Bernie Sanders’ coal-town crowds aren’t what they seem, Republican leaders say
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., drew large crowds over the weekend for his “Fighting Oligarchy Tour” in a state that would seem otherwise loath to listen to his democratic socialist message.
Sanders spoke to a standing-room-only crowd at a theater in Wheeling – a city sandwiched between Ohio and Pennsylvania in the Northern Panhandle – and held two other events in the capital, Charleston, and in Lenore, a coal town of 1,300 just across the Tug Fork River from Kentucky.
Sanders said Republicans didn’t win West Virginia in 2024 – the second-reddest state behind Wyoming – but that Democrats “lost it.”
Republicans, however, dismissed the left-wing firebrand’s rallies. They said the real evidence of political momentum in the Mountain State is in the numbers the GOP continues to attract in a place where “bluedog” Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin and Rep. Nick Joe Rahall dominated politics only a decade ago.
CHARLESTON BISHOP REBUKES TRUMP’S HARSH DEPORTATIONS, CITES GEORGE W. BUSH’S ‘ACCEPTABLE’ PLAN
On social media, Sanders celebrated his Lenore rally as a “great turnout” in a place “where Trump won 74% of the vote.”
“The working class here knows that it’s absurd to slash Medicaid & SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires. Trump didn’t win West Virginia, Dems lost it. Working people want a real alternative.”
In Wheeling, where behemoth industrial facilities line the Ohio River southward toward Huntington, Sanders said he came to “beg” for public political activism.
West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Josh Holstein told Fox News Digital in a Monday interview that if voters compared Sanders’ Wheeling rally to his campaign event a decade ago in Huntington, they’d notice that many more came to hear him for the first time than this past weekend.
“Our party has surpassed 500,000 registered Republicans in West Virginia for the first time ever. And it’s a complete reversal from just nine years ago when the Democrats had an almost 200,000 registered voter advantage,” Holstein said.
“It’s just a remarkable turnaround, it really goes to show – where are the hearts and minds of the people of West Virginia? They’re with us, they are not with the Democrats.”
WATCH: BERNIE SANDERS REACTS TO TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKES IN REAL TIME AT ‘FIGHTING OLIGARCHY’ RALLY
Holstein said the progressive movement was at its height when Sanders was its de facto leader when he ran for president, and that his rallies were also a silent indictment of today’s Democratic Party.
“I do find it a little hilarious that the only person that can really draw the crowd in West Virginia – or anywhere at this point – for the Democratic base is somebody that’s not a Democrat,” Holstein quipped.
Rep. Riley Moore, a Republican from the Eastern Panhandle – the one part of the state Sanders did not visit – offered his own irony.
“A millionaire socialist flying on a private jet to lecture working-class West Virginians about ‘oligarchy’ is laughable,” said Moore.
“But there’s nothing funny about the job and community-destroying green energy policies that Bernie Sanders pushes on behalf of the real [at] ESG-pushing [investment] institutions.”

State Del. Mike Pushkin, D-Kanawha, chairman of the West Virginia Democratic Party, credited Sanders as the first of any federal lawmaker to hold a town hall in the state.
“Sen. Sanders came to West Virginia and did something our Republican congressional delegation refuses to do – hold open town hall meetings and take questions directly from the people they represent,” Pushkin said.
“Everywhere he went, the crowds were standing-room-only, and they greeted him with real enthusiasm. West Virginians responded to his message loud and clear – they want to get dark money out of politics, protect Social Security and Medicare, and create real economic opportunity for everyone.”
Liberal comedian admits ‘paranoia’ over private remarks being leaked to end his career
Liberal comedian Bill Maher admitted he fears getting canceled for the remarks he’s made in private on Monday’s episode of his “Club Random” podcast.
During a conversation about free speech with actress Drew Barrymore, Maher said it had become less “dangerous” to speak out on controversial issues as there had been a cultural “vibe shift” against woke-ism over the past two years. But he confessed he still feared that his everyday conversations in public could be used against him to end his career.
“We did have a vibe change because the Democrats lost so badly in 2024. The blush is off the rose on left-wing censorship and ‘Oh my God, you can’t say that.’ Stop telling me what I can do. What I can say. What I can think. Who my heroes are supposed to be. Just get the f— off me. That is what’s viscerally going on with me when I have issues with the left,” Maher said.
Barrymore praised him for his boldness and asked him if there was anything that still “scares” him.
MAHER CALLS OUT SNL FOR ‘ZOMBIE LIE’ THAT REPUBLICANS ARE RACIST, WARNS THEY ARE ‘NOT HELPING’
“Oh, what scares me is… at any moment, you can like say something that, really in private conversation, wouldn’t upset anybody. Yes. But these snitches and b—-es will be able to use it to attack and end you, which they did once on ‘Politically Incorrect,’” he said.
“When I go out… it’s unlikely anything is going to happen that would end my career, but it is possible.”
Maher explained how he carried this “paranoia” with him constantly. Although it wasn’t as severe as other problems people face, he said it wasn’t insignificant.
“I’m always… and now it’s like a running joke because you know, ‘Did anything bad happen?’ Like that sort of paranoia. No. Is it as bad as things other people go through? No. But living with that paranoia is not nothing,” he lamented.

“I don’t feel guilty saying that’s a complaint I have about life. Everybody has their complaints. That’s one of mine. Is it as bad as starving? No. But it’s not nothing. It kind of sucks that you can’t pull into the driveway without having a peaceable night at dinner without thinking, ‘Did anything bad happen?’”
The “Real Time” host previously opened up about his worries about getting canceled in a 2023 CNN interview.
“It just makes me laugh when people say to me, ‘You know, you’re uncancellable.’ Are you kidding? In two seconds, I could get canceled. Anybody could,” he told the news outlet.
Maher faced backlash for controversial remarks following 9/11, and ABC canceled “Politically Incorrect” the following year amid declining advertiser support.

Days after the terrorist attack, Maher insisted it was “cowardly” for the U.S. to use cruise missiles overseas, while the terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Center were “not cowardly.”
The liberal comedian faced intense backlash from viewers and advertisers at the time and ABC pulled the plug on his show the following year. In 2003, he launched “Real Time with Bill Maher,” which continues to air on HBO.
Taylor Swift makes surprise announcement on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast
Taylor Swift announced her brand-new album in a teaser clip for her boyfriend’s podcast Tuesday.
Swift’s next album, her 12th studio album, will be titled “The Life of a Showgirl.” No release date has been announced.
The pop star is also set to make an appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast Wednesday. Travis and his brother Jason gave fans a hint earlier Monday morning after posting their podcast would return from hiatus early for a “VERY” special guest. Only the guest’s silhouette was shown at the time, but fans immediately guessed Swift.
The NFL brothers later shared a teaser clip featuring a flirty Swift and Travis. The “Midnights” singer noted that blue looked good on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “Yes, I know,” Travis responded. “It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. It’s why we match so well.”
TAYLOR SWIFT’S BOYFRIEND TRAVIS KELCE GIVES FANS RARE GLIMPSE INTO PRIVATE LIFE WITH POP STAR
Fans went crazy in the comments, praising the brothers for getting Swift on the podcast with them.
“losing my mind,” one user wrote.”
“THE BIGGEST PODCAST IN THE HISTORY OF PODCASTS!!!”
“OMG IT’S HAPPENING,” another added.

Swift’s appearance on “New Heights” will mark the first time the pop star has given an interview since she was named TIME’s Person of the Year in 2023.
At the time, Swift and Travis had just begun dating, and she spoke about their budding romance for the first time publicly. The two first sparked romance rumors in September 2023 after Swift appeared at one of Travis’ NFL games with his family. Shortly before, Travis had tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at one of her concerts.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as h—,” she told the outlet at the time. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift added. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
Swift and Travis have continued to support each other over the past two years, with the NFL star attending multiple concerts of the pop star’s billion-dollar “Eras Tour.”
Travis even appeared on stage during one of Swift’s tour stops in London.
The 35-year-old musician has also attended countless Kansas City Chiefs games, including the 2025 Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Public pension crisis looms: Ohio’s debacle a warning for the entire nation
If you are one of the millions of people celebrating the trimming of federal fat, you’ll want to know that a new taxpayer threat of stunning proportions is rising, fast. This time it’s not coming from Washington, D.C.; it’s coming from your state capital.
A $1.3 trillion pension crisis is barreling toward American taxpayers, and common-sense solutions are being actively ignored. The most likely result: You will no sooner enjoy the federal tax and spending breaks of the Trump years than you will be forced to bail out state employee pension funds, which are insolvent after having been mismanaged for decades. Unless urgent reforms are made, your state property tax tab will increase by a percentage that one shudders to calculate.
My own state of Ohio is, regrettably, at the center of this crisis. According to a new report by the nonpartisan Equable Institute, the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS) is between $20 and $30 billion in debt and will be unable to fully pay back the teachers who funded it throughout their careers. Equable also noted in its report that a stunning 44% of unfunded liabilities are from underperforming investments.
YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE THE SOLUTION TO THE DEBT CRISIS, BUT HERE’S HOW TO FIX AMERICA’S SPENDING PROBLEM
How could this happen? How could a $90+ billion fund be so poorly managed as to be at a loss? The short answer is ugly: bureaucratic hubris and a sense of entitlement.
Ohio STRS employees have taken unnecessary risks with the teachers’ fund by investing in alternative assets such as private equity and hedge funds that have not yielded the returns that more conservative approaches would have produced. STRS actively manages its gargantuan portfolio, resisting a shift toward passive investment strategies despite overwhelming evidence that active management consistently underperforms. To justify these choices and disguise underperformance, they have engaged in a practice all too common among public pensions in the US—they have contrived a benchmark that no one else can reproduce, allowing them to claim success while taxpayers shoulder the consequences.
Adding insult to injury, public records requests have revealed that for years, STRS has awarded and spent liberally on luxurious perks for themselves, such as $1,500 monthly plant-watering contracts, a cafeteria with a baby grand piano, and concierge services. Meanwhile, it has failed to deliver the most basic ROI to its funders, including meaningful cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) to the teachers who contributed to the system their entire working lives.
Investment shortfalls are not unique to Ohio. Across the United States, public pension funds have persistently underperformed passive indexes since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. In fact, comparative research has found that U.S. public pension funds have underperformed their private-sector counterparts – and public pension systems in Canada and Europe – by approximately 50 basis points annually.
You may be wondering where the teachers’ unions are – why aren’t they ringing alarm bells on behalf of the teachers?
Sadly, teachers’ unions haven’t just failed to fix the system—they’ve helped break it. For decades, their representatives on the board of STRS have blocked transparency, resisted accountability, and vilified those who dared propose changes.
In June, a union-backed slate of STRS board candidates campaigned on promises of reform. Yet once elected, they quickly embraced the status quo—rubber-stamping staff bonuses and calling for a taxpayer-funded bailout. In response, the legislature began to take meaningful action, restructuring the board and passing a budget that initiates a transition to a flat income tax—important steps toward protecting Ohio taxpayers. But these initial reforms must be followed by stronger measures, including demands for full transparency and accountability from STRS.

The situation in Ohio is dire and taxpayers there must be warned of what’s likely to come. Also: Taxpayers in all states deserve to know that a bailout in Ohio will likely be the start of a wave that spreads across the country. Other state pension funds are watching, and a taxpayer bailout in one state will set a terrible, expensive precedent.
Meanwhile, the message of a bailout to irresponsible bureaucrats is unconscionable: Mismanage billions, ignore your fiduciary duty, and you’ll still get paid – just pass the bill to taxpayers.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to this doomsday scenario of taxpayer bailouts. Transparent, passive investment strategies – like those used by many of the world’s best-run funds – can and should replace unnecessarily risky investment strategies.
State legislatures across the country, starting in Ohio, must act now to protect taxpayers from the $1.3 trillion hole in America’s public-employee pensions.
Late-night host reveals he obtained foreign citizenship as Trump’s America is ‘worse’
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel confirmed he obtained his Italian citizenship during a discussion on people fleeing the country to escape President Donald Trump.
Kimmel shared the news while a guest on fellow comedian Sarah Silverman’s podcast Friday, as they discussed the state of the country in Trump’s second term.
“A lot of people I know are thinking about where are they going to get citizenship?” Silverman said.
“I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel replied.

“You do? Oh, that’s amazing,” Silverman reacted.
“I do have that. And what’s going on is—as bad as you thought it was going to be — it’s so much worse. It’s just unbelievable,” Kimmel said.
“I feel like it’s even worse than he would like it to be,” he cracked.
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
The late-night host campaigned for Democrats in the 2024 election and has been a staunch critic of Trump over the years.
He first shared he had obtained his Italian citizenship at an event at the Consulate General of Italy in Los Angeles in June, according to Italian news agency Ansa.

“I have just obtained citizenship, thanks to my beloved grandmother Edith, whose family came from Candida, in the province of Avellino,” he told the crowd at the event celebrating the 79th Italian Republic Day.
Kimmel’s admission comes after fellow comedians Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres revealed earlier this year that they had permanently relocated outside the country after the 2024 election.

Trump warned last week that Kimmel would be the “next” to be canceled after fellow anti-Trump late-night host Stephen Colbert announced in July that his show would end in May 2026.
Cancer’s ‘knife-in-my-stomach’ warning sign doctors say you shouldn’t ignore
Colorectal cancer rates have soared among younger Americans, new research has found — and there might not always be obvious symptoms.
The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) is one in 24 for men and one in 26 for women, according to the American Cancer Society.
It is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and the fourth in women, but is the second most common cause when the numbers for men and women are combined.
ACTOR WITH COLORECTAL CANCER SHARES SIMPLE SIGN THAT HE IGNORED: ‘I HAD NO IDEA’
While there may be no symptoms of CRC before diagnosis, especially in the early stages, the following signs and symptoms should not be overlooked, experts say.
1. Bowel changes
According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, some symptoms of the disease can be similar to other causes, like hemorrhoids, infection or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
But a change in bowel habits — including diarrhea, constipation, narrow stools or feeling like your bowels are full even after a movement — can be a sign of CRC.
COLORECTAL CANCER DIAGNOSES SOAR AMONG YOUNGER ADULTS FOR ONE KEY REASON
Fight Colorectal Cancer, a leading patient advocacy group, noted on its website how bowel movements can change due to diet, infections, medications and other medical issues.
A change in bowel movement schedule or stool appearance could also signal CRC.
Fight CRC recommends calling a doctor if your stool is consistently abnormal, if you have sudden urges to pass stool but can’t control it, if the stool is black, clay-colored, red or white, or if there is mucus or pus in the stool.
Skinny, thin or pencil-like stool may also indicate an obstruction in the colon, like a tumor, but can also be caused by other harmless, temporary conditions.
2. Stomach pain
Persistent discomfort in the abdomen is another CRC symptom, the Colorectal Cancer Alliance reported on its site.
CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
This can include feelings of pain, nausea, cramping, bloating or feeling unusually full, even after not eating much.
Severe, “knife-in-my-stomach type” abdominal pains warrant a visit to the emergency room, Fight CRC instructed — but even mild pains shouldn’t be taken lightly.
3. Rectal bleeding
Blood in the stool, toilet or when wiping with toilet paper can be a major sign of colorectal cancer.
Fight CRC stressed that any amount of rectal bleeding is not normal and should be brought to a doctor’s attention for proper diagnosis.

Since blood in the stool is a common symptom, Fight CRC instructed paying attention to where the blood is found, how often it occurs and whether bowel movements are painful.
4. Weakness and weight loss
Unexplained weight loss can sometimes be caused by cancer and should be brought to the attention of a doctor, according to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.
Weight loss is the result of cancer cells “consuming the body’s energy” as they multiply, Fight CRC explained, as the immune system expends more energy to fight and destroy cancer cells.
This can also lead to feeling fatigue, weakness or shortness of breath.
These symptoms may also be a sign of anemia, which can develop from bleeding somewhere inside the body, like from a cancerous tumor.
Weight loss can also be caused by a tumor blocking the colon or intestinal tract, which prevents proper nutrient absorption.
Ford ditches Henry Ford’s assembly line with $5B bet on US workforce
Ford’s president and CEO offered an inside look at the auto company’s biggest manufacturing change since the Model T, while spotlighting a multi-billion-dollar bet on America’s supply chain.
“We’re announcing… $5 billion of new investments here in Kentucky and Michigan, to build a radically new vehicle,” Jim Farley said on FOX Business “Varney & Co.” Monday.
“And we’re going to build it completely different than Henry Ford’s moving assembly line.”
FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMIN TO RELEASE E.V. FUNDS SIGNED BY BIDEN TO STATES
On Monday, the Michigan-based motor company announced it would be pouring the money into 4,000 jobs at its Battery Park and Louisville, Kentucky, plants to deliver a new electric pickup truck and LFP prismatic batteries.
The “breakthrough” product, according to a press release, is the midsize four-door truck with a starting price of about $30,000.
“It’d be a lot more affordable and a lot lesser cost than an old Tesla, even, or a RAV4 hybrid imported. So we’re excited about this affordable vehicle,” Ford’s CEO said.
“Ford is the No. 1 truck hybrid maker in the U.S., best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for 47 years. The F-150 comes in a hybrid. It’s almost 30% of our customers,” Farley noted. “But for people that just commute, and they could charge at home, they don’t have to depend on chargers on the road, they only go 100 miles, 200 miles a day, an EV is actually really cheap… an EV can be a really good solution.”
The new electric truck will also be built on a newer, “better” assembly line that Ford now calls as assembly “tree.” In place of one long conveyor belt, three sub-assemblies will run down their own simultaneous productions before joining together.
“After 120 years, we’re gonna change the assembly line,” Farley said. “We’re gonna build it in three pieces, three separate parts, not one vehicle along one line. And that allows us to build it 40% faster with a lot less people and a lot less cost.”

“We didn’t want to build this in South Korea or Japan. We had to take a completely radical approach to redesign the vehicle to make it affordable and profitable here in Kentucky,” he added.
The “electric, fun-to-drive and digitally advanced” truck is set to reach consumers in 2027.

Miracle at Montana airport as passengers and pilot walk away from flaming plane crash
Video captured the aftermath of a plane crash at Kalispell City Airport in Montana on Monday, and remarkably, the pilot and three passengers escaped serious injury.
Kalispell Fire Department Chief Jay Hagen told Fox News Digital that emergency crews were dispatched shortly after 2 p.m. following reports of the crash.
An investigation into the crash found that a small plane came in for landing when it crashed and slid into another small plane, causing them to burst into flames.
Hagen said the three passengers and pilot on board the plane that crashed were able to get out of the aircraft with minor injuries.
