Trump blasts Bondi in deleted post: ‘All talk, no action’ on charging opponents
President Donald Trump put the heat on Attorney General Pam Bondi Saturday, demanding the prosecution of a list of adversaries in a social media post that he quickly deleted.
In a now-deleted Truth Social post, the president called for charges against former FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James—slamming Bondi for “all talk, no action.”
“Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, “same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.”
REPUBLICANS FIXATED ON EPSTEIN ARE GETTING ‘DUPED’ BY DEMOCRATS, TRUMP INSISTS
Trump then turned his attention to the recent ousting of Erik Seibert, former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who claimed he resigned Friday after pressure from the White House.
“We almost put in a Democrat-supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past,” the president wrote in the deleted post. “A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many la[w]yers, and legal pundits, say so.”
Siebert, who had worked in the Eastern District of Virginia since 2010, had not yet been confirmed in the Senate.
BONDI SHOULD RELEASE ‘CREDIBLE’ EPSTEIN FILES, TRUMP SAYS
Trump said Bondi could not delay prosecutorial action against his opponents any longer, noting “it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”
“They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!” he wrote.
DOJ BRASS VOWED FULL TRANSPARENCY ON EPSTEIN BEFORE TURNING UP EMPTY-HANDED
About an hour after the Truth Social post was sent and deleted, the president sent out a much more amiable post, commending Bondi for her “careful” work over the last eight months.
“Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States,” Trump wrote in a second Truth Social post. “She is very careful, very smart, loves our Country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving. What we don’t need is a Democrat Endorsed ‘Republican.’”

Later, as Trump departed the White House for the American Cornerstone Institute Founder’s Dinner, he was asked by reporters whether he was upset with Bondi.
“No. I just want people to act. They have to act. But now we want to act fast. You know, they were ruthless and vicious. I was impeached twice. I was indicted five times. It turned out to be a fake deal. And we have to act fast one way or the other. One way or the other. They’re guilty. They’re not guilty,” he said. “We have to act fast. If they’re not guilty, that’s fine. If they are guilty or if they should be judged, they should be charged. And we have to do it now.”
Trump said he would be nominating Halligan to be prosecutor in Virginia.
“She will be Fair, Smart, and will provide, desperately needed, JUSTICE FOR ALL!” Trump wrote.
The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Trump fires warning at Afghanistan over Bagram: ‘Find out what I’ll do’
President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened Afghanistan, which is governed by the Taliban, if Bagram Air Base isn’t returned to the United States.
“If Afghanistan doesn’t give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!!” he wrote on Truth Social.
The president didn’t elaborate on what consequences the country might face.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.
TRUMP’S IRAN ULTIMATUM STARTED A 60-DAY CLOCK TICKING FOR DECISIVE JUNE STRIKES, BOMBER COMMANDER REVEALS
On Thursday, the president said the administration is “trying” to get the former U.S. Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan “back” from the Taliban.
In remarks to the press while standing alongside U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the president criticized the handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Joe Biden and said he had “a little breaking news.”
“We’re trying to get it back,” Trump said. “We’re trying to get it back because they need things from us.”
Trump did not expand on whom he was referring to or, if referring to the Taliban, the terrorist organization that took over the country in 2021, what they “need” from the U.S.
“We want that base back, but one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it’s an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons,” Trump added.
On Saturday evening, Trump told reporters the administration wants Bagram back “right away,” and “if they don’t do it, you’re going to find out what I’m going to do.”
The Taliban took over the country after the U.S. pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021.
The U.S. claimed Bagram Air Base, which was built by the Soviets in the 1950s, in 2001 when the military went into Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks.
In 2021, when the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan, it secretly left the base in the middle of the night on July 1, leaving it to the Afghan government.
ELDERLY BRITISH COUPLE RELEASED BY TALIBAN AFTER EIGHT MONTHS IN CUSTODY FOLLOWING NEGOTIATIONS
The Taliban captured the base six weeks later in August of 2021, on the same day Kabul fell.
Earlier this year, White House hostage envoy Adam Boehler met with Taliban officials in Kabul while working to get hostage George Glezmann released, the first direct meeting since the pullout in 2021.
Boehler, along with another U.S. envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, met with the Taliban’s foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, and reportedly discussed ways to “develop bilateral relations between the two countries, issues related to citizens, and investment opportunities in Afghanistan,” according to a Taliban statement.
The removal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan began during the first Trump administration in March 2020, and open-source intelligence showed that the Taliban had been making gains across Afghanistan in the year leading up to the August 2021 withdrawal.

Under the deal forged by the first Trump administration, the U.S. agreed to withdraw all U.S. forces by May 1, 2021, but Biden extended the withdrawal date to August 2021.
California man released from custody after arrest in ABC news station shooting
A 64-year-old Sacramento man has been released from custody after his arrest in connection with a shooting that struck the city’s ABC10 news station Friday afternoon.
Suspect Anibal Hernandez Santana was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building and negligent discharge of a firearm. Sacramento County Jail records show Hernandez Santana was released from custody on Saturday after posting $200,000 bail.
Police responded to the television station’s building at about 1:30 p.m. Friday following reports of a shooting, according to FOX 11 LA.
SUSPECT IN CUSTODY AFTER SHOOTING AT RESIDENTIAL DAYCARE IN LOS ANGELES NEIGHBORHOOD
The motive “remains under investigation,” the Sacramento Police Department said, crediting the FBI with assisting in the investigation.
Hernandez Santana is expected to appear in court on Tuesday, according to jail records. A mugshot was not immediately available.
While there were employees in the building at the time of the shooting, there were no injuries. A local reporter shared video on X showing at least three bullet holes in one of the television station’s windows.
According to a report from a FOX-affiliated station in Sacramento, the shots were fired from a vehicle, which quickly sped away. Officers responding to the scene identified the suspect’s vehicle, which helped lead to the arrest, Sacramento police said.

There was a small protest outside the station on Thursday, according to The Sacramento Bee.
The outlet reported that a group of about 15 people were outside the building on Thursday protesting Disney-owned ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off-air for comments he made about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk and his alleged assassin.
While Disney owns the ABC network, affiliate ABC10 is owned by Tegna, which Nexstar Media Group is in the process of acquiring for $6.2 billion, according to a statement from Nexstar.

Suspect in custody after deadly New Hampshire country club shooting: police
A suspect is in custody after a shooting at a New Hampshire country club left one person dead and multiple others injured on Saturday, authorities said.
Authorities have identified the suspect as 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau. He’s accused of fatally shooting 59-year-old Steven DeCesare.
The deadly shooting took place at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire, according to the Nashua Police Department.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said one man entered the club and fired several gunshots – striking one man and killing him. Authorities said the suspect shot and wounded two other adults.
Nadeau has been charged with one count of second-degree murder for knowingly shooting DeCesare, though additional charges are likely. Authorities said there is no known connection between the two men.
1 DEAD, 4 WOUNDED AFTER SHOOTING IN NEW YORK CITY, POLICE SAY
The shooter was detained at the scene and taken into custody, the AG’s office said, adding that “there is no present threat to the public.”
Authorities had initially reported that two armed suspects fled the scene, and that while one was in custody, another remained at large. The AG’s office has since said those reports were “erroneous” and the one and only suspect is in custody.
“Additional information will be released as it becomes available while protecting the integrity of the investigation,” the New Hampshire AG’s office said.
The Sheraton Hotel, located on Tara Boulevard in Nashua, has been designated as the unification site, police said. Authorities are asking the public to avoid the Sky Meadow area at this time.
Sky Meadow Country Club is known for its golf course, dining and event facilities, according to its website.
FIVE INJURED IN SHOOTING OUTSIDE DOWNTOWN CLEVELAND BAR FOLLOWING SUSPECTED ALTERCATION, POLICE SAY
In neighboring Dunstable, Massachusetts, — fewer than 10 miles from Nashua — officials issued a shelter-in-place order for residents on Thorndike Street, High Street and Hardy Street. That order has since been lifted.
“My team and I are closely monitoring reports of the horrific tragedy at Sky Meadow Country Club tonight,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., posted to X on Saturday. “Billy and I are praying for those injured. There is no place in our state for this type of senseless violence.”
Democratic Rep. Maggie Goodlander posted to X, “I’m closely monitoring the tragic reports of a shooting tonight at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire Nashua community as we await more information.”
New Hampshire State Police said it is assisting the Nashua Police Department with the investigation.

Harris slams Trump over Kimmel suspension but Elon Musk points to a 2019 tweet
Elon Musk revisited former Vice President and former Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ years-old call for President Donald Trump’s ban from social media as she claims “free speech” concerns over Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air.
Harris has weighed in on Disney’s decision to pull ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air “indefinitely,” defending Kimmel and slamming what she calls an “outright abuse of power” by the Trump administration.
“What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats,” Harris wrote on X about Kimmel’s suspension. “We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech. We, the people, deserve better.”
DISNEY’S JIMMY KIMMEL BENCHING PROMPTS CELEBRATION, BUT ALSO CAUTION, FROM CONSERVATIVES
Many X users, including Musk, the platform’s owner, were quick to point out Harris’ own past statements, and some suggested they appeared to support censorship.
Musk revisited a 2019 tweet by Harris when Trump was serving his first term. Harris, a U.S. senator representing California at the time, was running for vice president when she made the post on X, now Twitter.
“Look let’s be honest, @realDonaldTrump’s Twitter account should be suspended,” Harris wrote on Sept. 30, 2019.
Musk re-posted the message on Friday, adding a thinking face emoji.
Kimmel’s show was pulled after he accused conservatives of reaching “new lows” in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on Tyler Robinson, who is accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in an indictment.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said, sparking outrage.
There have been several questions about the role the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) played in the suspension. Those questioning the move are on both sides of the aisle, with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warning conservatives they “will regret” setting the precedent.
“What he is saying is Jimmy Kimmel was lying. That’s true, he was lying, and lying to the American people is not in the public interest,” Cruz said on an episode of his podcast. “He threatens explicitly, ‘We’re going to cancel ABC News’ license. We’re going to take him off the air, so ABC cannot broadcast anymore’ … He threatens it.”
CRUZ WARNS CONSERVATIVES ‘WILL REGRET’ FCC CENSORSHIP PUSH AGAINST ABC, OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity Sept. 17, the day the suspension was announced, and defended the move.
“Broadcasters are different than any other form of communication,” Carr said, pointing to affiliate groups like Nexstar and Sinclair that announced they would no longer carry “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” He argued that local stations acted appropriately, saying they were “standing up to serve the interests of their community.”
“Over the years, the FCC walked away from enforcing that public interest obligation,” Carr said. “I don’t think we’re better off as a country for it.”
FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR DEFENDS ABC AFFILIATES PULLING JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW AFTER MONOLOGUE ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Saturday that the decision to “fire Jimmy Kimmel and to cancel his show came from executives at ABC.”
“That has now been reported,” Leavitt said. “And I can assure you it did not come from the White House, and there was no pressure given from the president of the United States.”
The Biden-Harris administration has seen its share of censorship controversies, particularly in its interactions with social media companies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During a 2021 press conference, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration was “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.”

In August 2024, just ahead of the presidential election, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter that the Biden-Harris administration pressured Facebook to censor Americans.

Golf legend tells Omar she should be ‘sent back to Somalia’ after her Kirk comments
Golf legend Phil Mickelson took aim at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Saturday after the controversial congresswoman insulted Charlie Kirk and his legacy.
During an interview on CNN, Omar addressed her recent social media posts in which she called Kirk “Dr. Frankenstein,” doubling down on those comments and saying his legacy should be left in the “dustbin of history.”
“What I find jarring is that there’s so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they’re willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the house of Congress honoring his life and legacy,” Omar said.

“I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind, that should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.”
Mickelson responded to Omar’s comments in a post on X, saying he hopes she’s “sent back to Somalia soon.”
“Ilhan spews hate every time she opens her mouth, she came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon,” Mickelson wrote.
Mickelson was mostly praised for his rebuke to Omar in his X responses.
Mickelson has been outwardly supporting of Kirk in the days following his assassination in Utah, making frequent X posts commemorating the conservative influencer and celebrating his life and legacy.
Mickelson previously said he believed the assassination was bringing out “some of the best in humanity and it’s also exposing some of the worst.”
“The assassination of Charlie Kirk is bringing out some of the best in humanity and it’s also exposing some of the worst,” he wrote on X in response to a statement from the president of the Oxford Union. “The unification, love, support, and outcry on his behalf throughout the world is heartwarming.
“The number of people supporting Tyler Robinson’s appalling behavior has opened my eyes to a side of extremism with a moral superiority complex that has also shaken my belief in people in general. I hope they are held accountable for their disgusting rhetoric.”
Meanwhile, Omar has been a target of GOP colleagues since making her initial comments condemning Kirk.
Omar specifically faced backlash over an interview with progressive news outlet Zeteo, in which she criticized Kirk’s past commentary and Republicans’ reaction to the shooting. She later accused Republicans of taking her words out of context, and she called Kirk’s death “mortifying.”
SCRUTINY INTENSIFIES OVER SECURITY LAPSES SURROUNDING THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING
She previously told Zeteo days after Kirk’s assassination that he had “downplayed slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth shouldn’t exist.”
“There are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate,” the “Squad” member said. “There is nothing more effed up, you know, like, than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.”
She later posted on X amid the backlash, “While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don’t wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion. Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis.”

Omar also reposted a video on X, where others not associated with the congresswoman said, “Don’t be fooled, these people don’t give a single s— about Charlie Kirk. They’re just using his death to further their Christo-fascist agenda.”
The Minnesota Democrat’s colleagues have vehemently defended her against censure and Republican criticism.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., moved to force a vote on censuring Omar over her reaction to Kirk’s killing, but the move was quashed when four Republicans and all Democrats voted to table the measure.
House Main Street Caucus Chairman Mike Flood, R-Neb., will refer Omar for a House Ethics Committee investigation, Fox News Digital reported Thursday.
The top of the list of complaints will include the progressive Democrat’s “obnoxious, insulting and dismissive comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” he said.
“Second, harboring illegal immigrants. I believe in February of this year that Omar hosted a workshop advising Somalians on how to avoid being deported after protecting the laws of the United States,” Flood continued of his points. “No. 3, she’s used TikTok for mixed official and campaign content, which specifically violates other House rules.”
Jennifer Aniston left reeling after Reese Witherspoon reveals her real name
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon’s 25-year friendship has reached a new level.
The longtime Hollywood friends answered personal questions about one another, and what was meant to be a playful game quickly turned into a moment of revelation.
Witherspoon, 49, asked Aniston, 56, a “tricky” question on LADbible’s rapid-fire quiz, “Do You Even Know Me?”
REESE WITHERSPOON FLAUNTS SUMMER ROMANCE WITH HER MAN DURING SUN-SOAKED GETAWAY
The “Legally Blonde” star challenged Aniston to guess her “real middle name,” offering up three options: Jane, Jeanne or Joan.
The “Friends” star guessed “Jane,” but she was quickly corrected by Witherspoon, who explained, “It’s Jeanne.”
Things took a turn when Witherspoon dropped a bombshell on Aniston. Her first name isn’t “Reese.”
“That’s confusing. I’m Laura Jeanne,” she said.

“Laura Jeanne?” Aniston asked, blinking in disbelief.
“That’s my real name, yeah,” Witherspoon confirmed.

“Who’s Laura? What? Who the hell’s Laura? Wait, Laura Jeanne, like, I’m not calling you that from now on,” she exclaimed.
Witherspoon adopted “Reese,” her mother’s maiden name, before launching her career in 1991 in the film “The Man in the Moon.” She also confirmed “Reese” is technically her middle name.
“Oh, like Norma Jeanne?” Aniston asked, referencing Marilyn Monroe’s birth name, Norma Jeane Mortenson.
“Yeah,” Witherspoon replied. “Like Laura Jeanne Reese.”

“Does anybody call you J.J.?” she asked. Aniston responded, “No.”
“Well, I do now,” Witherspoon joked, as she sealed her new nickname for the “Friends” icon.

Scientists uncover hidden health risk that could be more dangerous than obesity
A major new study found that carrying a few extra pounds might not be as dangerous as being underweight, especially for those who are “fat but fit.”
Researchers from Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark followed more than 85,000 adults and found that people who were underweight were nearly three times more likely to die during the study period than those at the high end of the normal body mass index (BMI) range.
Even participants within the “healthy” range, but on the lower side, faced a higher risk of early death.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, THERE ARE MORE CHILDREN IN THE WORLD WHO ARE OBESE THAN UNDERWEIGHT
Meanwhile, those who were overweight or moderately obese did not face higher death rates compared to people with BMIs in the upper-normal range.
The findings challenge long-standing assumptions about BMI — a calculation using weight and height — and health, suggesting it may be possible to be “fat but fit” and that carrying a few extra pounds may not be as harmful as once thought, according to a press release.
The researchers presented their findings at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna last week.
BODY FAT PREDICTS MAJOR HEALTH RISK THAT BMI MISSES, RESEARCHERS SAY
The greatest risk, however, came at both extremes: severe obesity and being underweight.
“Both underweight and obesity are major global health challenges,” said lead researcher Dr. Sigrid Bjerge Gribsholt of Aarhus University Hospital.
Obesity can disrupt the body’s metabolism, weaken the immune system and lead to diseases like Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and up to 15 different cancers, while being underweight is tied to malnutrition, weakened immunity and nutrient deficiencies, Gribsholt warned.
According to the researchers, body fat distribution and underlying health conditions play a big role in overall health.
CANCER DEATHS HIT ‘ALARMING’ SURGE DUE TO COMMON HEALTH CONDITION, EXPERTS SAY
“Visceral fat — fat that is very metabolically active and stored deep within the abdomen, wrapped around the organs — secretes compounds that adversely affect metabolic health,” said Jens Meldgaard Bruun, another of the study’s researchers.
“As a result, an individual who has a BMI of 35 and is apple-shaped — the excess fat is around their abdomen — may have Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, while another individual with the same BMI may [be] free of these problems because the excess fat is on their hips, buttocks and thighs.”
The treatment of obesity should be personalized to take these factors and other conditions into account when setting a target weight, Bruun said.
MORE IN HEALTH NEWS
Fox News Digital has reached out to the study’s authors for comment.
Dr. Akshaya Srikanth Bhagavathula, an epidemiologist at North Dakota State University who was not involved in the research, told Fox News Digital the findings support other recent research but challenge current medical guidelines that assume health risks rise steadily with BMI.
“The higher death rates in people with lower BMI likely occur because hidden illnesses cause the situation to appear backwards,” Bhagavathula told Fox News Digital. “Diseases like cancer or heart failure cause weight loss first, which makes low weight seem more dangerous than it actually is.”

Obesity, meanwhile, tends to come before serious health problems, according to the World Health Organization.
Bhagavathula added that, in older adults, age-related muscle loss increases vulnerability, such as to falls and infections, while mild excess weight may provide a “protective effect” by offering energy reserves during illness. Denmark’s healthy and active lifestyle, including widespread cycling, may also contribute to that effect.
He emphasized that BMI should be considered alongside other measures like waist-to-height ratios, muscle mass, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, sex and ethnicity.

“Current health messaging often focuses too heavily on weight loss, creating shame and unnecessary medical treatment for people who are overweight but have normal body function,” he continued. “These findings suggest shifting toward a nutrition approach that focuses on how the body processes food, emphasizing physical activity, balanced eating and blood tests … rather than BMI alone.”
Nebraska stuns Michigan Wolverines with jaw-dropping scoring pass in Lincoln
The first half of Saturday’s Big Ten Conference matchup between Nebraska and Michigan ended with a Hail Mary pass worthy of highlight reels.
Even though Michigan would ultimately hold on for a 30-27 victory, the play of the game came when Jacory Barney Jr. hauled in a tying 52-yard touchdown pass from Dylan Raiola as time expired in the second quarter. The ensuing kick from Kyle Cunanan tied the score at 17 as both teams headed to the locker room.
Before Nebraska’s last-second heave, Michigan’s Justice Haynes’ 75-yard run had put the Wolverines up 17-10. After that scoring play, the Cornhuskers got possession with 1:51 remaining in the first half.

Nebraska called a timeout with one second left after Emmett Johnson’s short run to the 48. Raiola moved to his right and launched a high-arcing ball downfield. Barney outjumped Michigan’s Jaden Mangham for the ball at the goal line, turned, and fell into the end zone.

The play was reminiscent of Ron Kellogg III’s 49-yard end-of-the-game Hail Mary that Jordan Westerkamp came down with to give Nebraska a 27-24 win over Northwestern in 2013.
Raiola and Barney had connected for a 26-yard touchdown on the Huskers’ previous possession.
