Golf legend Phil Mickelson posted a “No Kings”-themed social media message Saturday, mocking the movement while subtly criticizing decisions made during President Joe Biden’s administration. 

Mickelson referenced Biden’s criticized use of an autopen to sign pardons and previous provisions for illegal immigrants. 

“On this special day as we all gather to fight against blanket auto pen pardons and executive orders, lawlessness, and stealing citizen’s resources for illegal non citizens, I believe it has worked!! That is no longer happening so great job everyone,” Mickelson wrote on X.

Mickelson has been a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump and often posts in support of the president and conservative values.

Millions of people gathered across thousands of locations in the United States Saturday for a nationwide “No Kings” protest challenging Trump and his GOP priorities.

By around 10:30 a.m. ET, crowds had already begun gathering in New York City’s Times Square, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and in Atlanta. By noon, significant crowds were gathered in places like Carrollton, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Arlington, Virginia; and the U.S. Embassy in London. 

In the state of Virginia, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin mobilized the National Guard to help with any potential chaos.

Republicans have argued that this second mass “No Kings” protest event scheduled for Saturday is simply an effort to distract from the current government shutdown battle. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told FOX Business he hoped Democratic leaders who attended would be more willing to accept the GOP’s plan after the demonstrations were over, but he did not sound overly optimistic.

Three teenage boys have been arrested in the killing of a Texas Marine veteran who was working as a rideshare driver to support his mother and sister, authorities said.

The arrests are tied to the Sept. 4 death of 28-year-old Quoc “Jake” Nguyen, who was found dead along a roadside after being shot, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Thursday.

A 15-year-old has been charged with capital murder, while a 14-year-old and 13-year-old face charges of tampering with evidence.

FAMILIES CLAIM TEEN MURDER SUSPECT WAS ‘PLOTTING’ DEADLY HIT-AND-RUN FOR MONTHS BEFORE KILLING TWO GIRLS

All three were taken into custody in recent days and booked into the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center, Gonzalez said.

Investigators believe the teens shot Nguyen, stole his vehicle and property and fled.

Nguyen’s brother, Matthew, told Fox Houston his brother had been driving for Uber to help support their mother and sister. The Nguyen family immigrated to Houston from Vietnam several years ago.

“At the time he was driving that night, he had a rideshare from Uber,” Matthew Nguyen said. “He picked up one customer and dropped him off downtown. After that, he still had some people in the car. Uber confirmed that’s the last time they heard from him.

“I had just spoken to him on Tuesday, and he sounded like he finally figured some stuff out,” he added. “Then we get a call on Friday … and this is the case.”

In a post on X, Gonzalez called Nguyen’s death “tragic and senseless.”

“Our condolences go out to Jake’s friends and family. Outstanding work by @HCSOTexas detectives, VCAT, and all team members involved,” he wrote.

Keanu Reeves is getting candid about his “welcome to Hollywood” moment at the start of his career.

In a recent interview on the “New Heights” podcast Oct. 15, the 61-year-old “John Wick” star discussed his early days in Hollywood and the many stage names he tried before choosing to keep his name.

“I got paid when I was like 16, so I was a professional actor around 16, 17 [years old],” Reeves said. “I was in Toronto, Canada, and then I got a manager who lived in Los Angeles.

“At 20 years old, I drove in my car to Los Angeles. Got out of my car and my manager said, ‘We want to change your name.’ So, that’s like, a welcome to Hollywood [moment]. I remember I was walking on the beach, and I was just like, ‘My name? What if I change my name? What?’”

ROSIE O’DONNELL NAMES HOLLYWOOD A-LISTER AS HER WORST INTERVIEW ON LIVE TELEVISION

He then recalled trying to come up with a stage name, originally deciding on Chuck Spadina, combining his middle name, Charles, and the Toronto street he grew up on.

Chuck Spadina didn’t last long. Another name was suggested. 

“Then I was something Templeton,” he said. He and his team eventually landed on a new idea.

“So, then I became KC Reeves. I was credited as KC Reeves,” he said. “And then I couldn’t do it. So, then I would be in auditions, and they would go, ‘KC Reeves.’ And I wouldn’t even answer. Six months later, I was like, ‘I’m not doing this.’ That’s a Hollywood moment.”

“At 20 years old, I drove in my car to Los Angeles. Got out of my car and my manager said, ‘We want to change your name.’ So, that’s like a welcome to Hollywood [moment].”

— Keanu Reeves

Reeves appeared in several TV movies in 1986 and 1987 before landing a role in the 1988 drama “Dangerous Liaisons.” He became a household name as Ted in “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” in 1989.

His breakout role in the 1989 movie led to starring roles in “Point Break,” “Speed” and “The Matrix” franchise, cementing his status as one of Hollywood’s leading men. He is currently starring as a guardian angel in the comedy “Good Fortune.”

The actor walked the red carpet at the premiere of “Good Fortune” Oct. 13 with his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, who recently addressed rumors the two had secretly gotten married this year. She addressed the rumors in an Instagram post featuring a photo of the two of them kissing while visiting Roden Crater, an art installation in Arizona.

“This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss! (Albeit maybe the moment right before or after it… given the slightly goofy expressions on our faces!),” she wrote in the caption. “We’re at Roden Crater, and Keanu and Gard had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries.

Leftist ‘No Kings’ protesters at massive rally give raw responses to Trump questions

NEW YORK, N.Y.At least 100,000 people descended upon New York City’s Times Square on Saturday for a “No Kings” protest, and Fox News Digital spoke to more than half a dozen of them about why they took to the streets to rally against President Trump.

“Because I’m an American, and I learned from history, unlike a lot of other people in this country. History repeats itself,” a man named Ed told Fox News Digital when asked why he joined the rally.

“People don’t seem to understand that, and we’re going down a slippery slope, probably halfway down there already. And if we don’t stand up and protest and expand our message across America, we’ll be just another one of what Trump called the s—hole countries. That’s where he’s leading us.” 

The rally was peaceful as protesters gathered in Times Square and marched down 7th Avenue holding a variety of signs, some more inflammatory than others.

REPUBLICANS TORCH ANTI-TRUMP ‘NO KINGS’ PROTESTS, SAY DEMS FEAR ANGERING LEFTISTS IN SHUTDOWN FIGHT

“No fuhrers,” one sign said with a crossed-out swastika. Another sign read, “ICE melts faster under pressure,” a reference to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency where agents have faced a 10-fold increase in violence against them over the past few months.

We have a fascist government in America abetted by a fascist media,” a man named Brad told Fox News Digital. “And people need to have their voices be heard. There’s this idea that somehow that Trump stands for America. He stands for nothing like that. He stands for hate. He stands for everything against the Constitution, everything our values are built upon, and he stands for himself and his friends and not for the great American people.”

A woman named Nicole told Fox News Digital part of her motivation for attending was she is recovering from cancer, and her husband was recently diagnosed with cancer. She says she received a notice their health insurance would be canceled in July 2026.

SOROS FOUNDATIONS HELPING FUND ANTI-TRUMP ‘NO KINGS’ PROTESTS NATIONWIDE

“So, we can bomb random boats off the coast of Venezuela, spend all this money on ICE terrorizing people. So, we can take food and health care away from families,” Nicole said. “It’s disgusting.”

Laura, who said she is from Seattle but was on vacation in New York City and decided it was important to attend the rally, told Fox News Digital of her belief that if people don’t “collectively” get the message of disapproval out “then we’re going to just give up.”

“We just might as well bend over,” Laura said, adding she is married to a woman and is concerned that, under Trump, their marriage “might not be valid anymore.”

“That’s f—– bull—-,” Laura said. 

Fox News Digital watched as a man dressed in yellow placed an Antifa sticker onto a street sign as protesters walked by. Several users on social media posted signs mentioning Antifa, which Trump designated a domestic terrorist organization earlier this year.

Many of the signs at the protest used the term “fascist” to describe Trump, and several labeled Trump and members of his administration “Nazis.”

When asked if it’s fair to call Trump a “fascist,” Laura said, “I mean, he’s doing s— that is outside of what our Constitution has said.

“He circumvented so many of our government’s checks and balances that, I mean, it’s just, it is ridiculous. Not to mention making everyone who’s in his Cabinet. They have no experience, no intelligence, no, like, consistency. They’re just a joke. So, yeah.”

A man named Edgar told Fox News Digital “democracy is at stake” while another man, Lenny, referred to Trump as a “fool” and a “clown.”

Large crowds gathered in major cities all across the United States on Saturday with anti-Trump protesters attempting to make the case that Trump is a king who has overstepped his authority.

The “No Kings” movement first gained national attention in June, when similar demonstrations were held in response to the Army’s 250th anniversary military parade.

Trump, along with Republicans in Congress in recent days, have pushed back on the “king” label.

“They say they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump told Fox News on Friday.

Asked about the protests and whether National Guard units would deploy to manage crowds, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital, “Who cares?” 

Florida sheriff calls fast food dispute a ‘McMess’ after worker shoots customer

A Florida sheriff called an altercation involving a worker and two customers at a McDonald’s in Polk County last weekend a “McMess” after it left one of the men with a minor gunshot wound to the neck. 

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explained in a video posted to social media that a McDonald’s in the area had become inundated with online orders after several events in the area let out early Sunday morning. 

Judd said the worker, Yoan Soto, 21, “politely” told Nicholas Jones, 18, and Peter Story, 20, who had pulled into the drive-thru, “‘Hey, sorry guys, we’re way behind. Our online orders are overwhelming us.’” 

He said after Soto told the two men that the store couldn’t take their order, they allegedly started threatening him.

“’We’re going to hang out here,’” they allegedly said. “‘When you get off, we are going to beat you up.’ They threatened to attack the man who just told them, ‘We’re busy, we can’t take any more orders,’ and he did that because the manager told him to. They threatened him with violence.” 

Soto told the men he didn’t get off work until 4 a.m., and he went back to work. 

“What do these goober smoochers do?” Judd continued, adding that Jones and Story then parked and entered the restaurant. 

“And they continue to threaten,” he said. “They’re having a McArgument in the McDonald’s over McHamburgers or lack of McHamburgers.” 

He said either Story or Jones allegedly said they had a “switch,” a “30-clip,” and Soto replied that he also had a gun. 

He said the manager stepped in between the three men to stop the “McRabble.”

“So, they continue to threaten a mass shooting cause there’s customers there with their firearms,” Judd said, adding that Soto went to get his gun and threatened Jones and Story with it in the main part of the store.

The manager of the McDonald’s told Story and Jones to leave because they were trespassing, but Jones claimed that only law enforcement can declare he’s trespassing, which Judd clarified isn’t the case. 

As the two men tried to grab Soto’s gun, he pulled the trigger and shot Story in the neck, Judd said. 

“It’s a blessing that it was a very minor wound, but you know what? When you start shooting McGuns, you’ll get people’s attention, and they’ll let you McHave the restaurant and that’s what they did,” Judd said. 

Jones then drove Story to a hospital and called the police. 

Soto fled but was called back to the restaurant when deputies arrived, Judd explained, adding that Soto cooperated and has been charged with felony tampering with evidence. 

Story and Jones were charged with trespass after warning and disorderly conduct. 

“Listen folks, it’s never OK to threaten a mass shooting. It’s never OK to threaten to beat people up at a business. And it’s never OK to grab your ammunition and your firearm and run after a shooting,” Judd said.

He added that Soto did have a right to stand his ground and protect himself, “and these guys are threatening to do violence after they’ve already threatened on the outside of the store and came inside.”

“They created a well-founded fear in him and the store manager,” he said. “It was just a McMess. But we’ll sort it out, because we’re McGood at investigating McCrime.” 

FDA warns one of your favorite pantry spices could be unsafe, issues health alert

Federal health officials added more ground cinnamon brands to its health alert after detecting elevated levels of lead in the product. 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in its latest update last week that HAETAE-brand and Roshni-brand ground cinnamon are joining a growing list of products that are considered unsafe due to elevated lead levels. 

The FDA has continued to update its list of recalled cinnamon brands, now totaling 16, since issuing its original health alert in July. In its latest update on Oct. 10, the FDA said it continues to analyze cinnamon and review sample results from state partners that have been testing ground cinnamon at retail for elevated lead levels. 

SOME POPULAR PROTEIN POWDERS CONTAMINATED WITH UNSAFE AMOUNTS OF LEAD, STUDY REVEALS

The agency said it will continue to update its public health alert as necessary if additional products are found to contain unsafe levels of lead.

The FDA is advising consumers to throw away any of the cinnamon products listed in the health alert.  

STUDY OF LEAD LEVELS IN MAJOR CINNAMON BRANDS SHOWS ‘TROUBLING’ RESULTS

For the products listed, the FDA has recommended that the firms voluntarily recall their respective products, except for the HAETAE-brand cinnamon. The FDA said it wasn’t able to reach distributor Haitai Inc. USA to share its findings and recommend that the company initiate a recall.

GROUND CINNAMON RECALL EXPANDED FOLLOWING DISCOVERY OF ‘ELEVATED LEVELS OF LEAD’

The FDA concluded during its assessment that consuming any of the products listed could contribute to elevated levels of lead in the blood. It also warned being exposed to elevated levels of lead could contribute to adverse health effects, particularly for those that may already have elevated blood lead levels from other exposures to lead.

The potential for adverse health effects from consuming food contaminated with lead varies depending on the level of lead in the food, as well as length, amount and frequency of exposure. Exposures to different sources of lead and someone’s age are also factors.

Those who are younger “are particularly vulnerable to the potential harmful effects from lead exposure” because of their smaller body sizes and rapid metabolism and growth, the FDA said. High levels of exposure to lead in utero, infancy and early childhood specifically can lead to neurological effects such as learning disabilities, behavior difficulties and lowered IQ, federal health officials continued.

Last year, hundreds of lead poisoning cases were traced to recalled applesauce products, underscoring the serious risks associated with contaminated food.

WanaBana LLC initiated a recall of its WanaBana, Schnucks or Weis-brand apple cinnamon pouches – manufactured by Ecuador-based Austrofood – for elevated lead levels last fall after four children in North Carolina had “elevated blood lead levels, indicating potential acute lead toxicity,” according to federal health officials. 

Scientists warn your favorite beverage may be sabotaging mental health

Even one or two sodas a day could be disrupting your gut health enough to affect your mood, a new study has found.

Researchers in Germany examined more than 900 adults — about half with clinical depression and half without — and found that those who drank more soft drinks were, on average, 8% more likely to be diagnosed with major depression and to have more severe symptoms, according to findings published this week in JAMA Psychiatry.

The link was especially pronounced among women who consumed soft drinks regularly, though it did not differentiate what types. Their risk of major depression rose by about 16%, but there was no significant association among men. Participants self-reported their mental health symptoms and soda intake, and researchers analyzed stool samples to assess their gut bacteria.

MAJOR STUDY OF DIET DRINKS RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR HEALTH IMPACT

“We could really show that soft drink consumption was associated with the diagnosis of depression, but also of symptom severity,” Dr. Sharmili Edwin Thanarajah of University Hospital Frankfurt said in a JAMA Psychiatry podcast interview.

The connection appeared to be partly explained by higher levels of a gut bacterium called Eggerthella, which was previously linked to inflammation and found in greater abundance among people with depression.

“Soda can disrupt gut health by feeding harmful bacteria and reducing the diversity of beneficial microbes, which are essential for digestion and immune balance,” said Trista Best, a Georgia-based registered dietitian and consultant at Balance One Supplements.

YOUR DAILY DIET SODA COULD BE AGING YOUR BRAIN FASTER THAN YOU THINK, STUDY FINDS

“Its high sugar and acid content can also irritate the gut lining, leading to inflammation and bloating over time,” Best, who was not involved with the study, told Fox News Digital.

When too much sugar from soft drinks reaches the gut, it feeds bacteria like Eggerthella which can multiply and throw the gut ecosystem out of balance. That imbalance promotes inflammation that doesn’t just stay in the stomach, News Medical reported. 

It can also spread throughout the body and even affect the brain, influencing mood and mental health. It can also interfere with serotonin production, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood.

SUGAR IN DRINKS LINKED TO HIGHER DIABETES RISK THAN THAT IN FOOD, NEW RESEARCH FINDS

In mice, Eggerthella has been found to lower key compounds that support gut and brain health, including tryptophan, which the body uses to produce serotonin.

“Good” gut bacteria, on the other hand, thrive on fiber-rich foods and help produce compounds that reduce inflammation and protect the gut lining.

Probiotic supplements may also help improve and stabilize mood, Best said.

TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ

Soft drinks have long been associated with obesity, diabetes and heart disease, but their impact on mental health is only beginning to be understood, the researchers wrote in their paper. Previous studies, however, have indicated that high sugar intake can trigger inflammation that affects brain chemistry.

Experts caution that while the study doesn’t prove soda directly causes depression, it adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting the gut microbiome plays a key role in mental health. The sex-specific differences suggest the need for tailored prevention and intervention strategies, they added.

“We can see that there is a correlation between soft drink consumption and depression,” Thanarajah said. “It could be either way. It could be depression causing soft drinks consumption or the other way around.”

Either way, she said reducing soft drink intake is a safe bet. “It has large impact on metabolic health but also mental health — for sure,” she said.

The researchers said even moderate consumption — about one or two sugary drinks a day — may contribute to poorer mental health over time. They called for public education and policy changes to reduce soft drink consumption, particularly among children and teens.

“Education, prevention strategies, and policies aiming to reduce soft drink consumption are urgently required to mitigate depressive symptoms,” the authors wrote.

Thanarajah noted that soft drinks remain a major source of added sugar worldwide.

“They contain almost nothing else [but] sugar, and the prevalence is extremely high,” she said. “What is really considered as harmful is a daily consumption, and we think that around 10% of children and adolescents consume soft drinks every day, which is clearly associated with weight gain, obesity, diabetes [and] fatty liver disease.”

Future studies will aim to determine the clinical implications of the connection, according to JAMA Psychiatry.

Keith Urban narrowly avoided an awkward situation during an interaction with a fan at his latest concert.

In a fan-recorded video shared on TikTok, the 57-year-old country star can be heard having a conversation with a fan during his concert at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville Friday, Oct.17, as part of his High and Alive tour.

“I’m not going to like your name?” Urban can be heard asking the fan. She then responded, “It’s Nicole.”

After hearing her name, the crowd laughed, and Urban fell backward and lay on the stage for a few seconds. He then got up and sidestepped the apparent reference to Nicole Kidman by asking the fan, “Did you say Nicole Richie?”

Urban then moved on and jumped into the crowd to help the fan announce her pregnancy after hearing that she and her sister had traveled from Greenville, South Carolina, where he had canceled a show at the last minute, to attend his Nashville concert.

The video then panned to the jumbotron, which showed the fan standing next to Urban with a gray onesie that said “Smallest Keith Urban fan” on the front. 

The funny fan moment came one day after Urban canceled his Oct. 16 show in South Carolina due to a mild illness.

“Keith Urban has been advised by his longtime laryngologist Dr. Gaelyn Garrett, from the Vanderbilt Voice Center, to cancel his performance in Greenville, SC tonight at Bon Secours Wellness Arena due to laryngitis which began earlier this week,” a statement on the venue’s website said. 

“He has been placed on complete vocal rest and Dr. Garrett is optimistic that he will be back onstage for his Nashville show.”

The potentially awkward encounter comes weeks after Kidman filed for divorce from Urban on Sept. 30.

In the divorce filings, Kidman cited “irreconcilable differences” and ongoing “marital difficulties” as reasons for their split.

Kidman and Urban first met in 2005 at an event in Australia and were married a year later in June 2006. During their marriage, they welcomed two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. They were last seen together in public at a FIFA Club World Cup match in Nashville in June 2025.

The U.S. Department of State on Saturday warned there are “credible reports” that Hamas may break the peace agreement with a “planned attack” on Palestinian civilians. 

“This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts,” the department said in a statement on social media. “The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms.”

The statement concluded, “The United States and the other guarantors remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring the safety of civilians, maintaining calm on the ground, and advancing peace and prosperity for the people of Gaza and the region as a whole.”

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect last weekend after two years of war in the region following the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel. 

HAMAS DEFENDS EXECUTIONS OF PALESTINIANS AFTER TRUMP ISSUES STERN WARNING TO TERROR GROUP

On Monday, the 20 remaining surviving Israeli hostages were returned to Israel per the agreement, but more than a dozen remains of hostages who were killed are still under Hamas control. 

The State Department added that “measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire” if Hamas proceeds with the attack. 

On Thursday, President Donald Trump issued a warning on Truth Social after footage circulated online showing Hamas fighters executing Palestinians in Gaza City’s main square. 

“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” he wrote.

According to Reuters, at least 33 people were executed by Hamas in recent days in what officials described as a campaign to “show strength” after the ceasefire. Israeli sources say most of those killed belonged to families accused of collaborating with Israel or supporting rival militias.

Trump later clarified that U.S. troops would not go into Gaza.

“It’s not going to be us,” he told reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily, but under our auspices.”
