2000 FACTS

Published by Julia Johnson for Fox News Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., reiterated his criticisms of activists calling for cease-fire in Gaza, and slammed fellow Democrats for their "crazy" response to the attacks Iran has launched against Israel, in an interview with Fox Digital. "It is not appropriate or legal or helpful to advance your argument if you show up in a Starbucks with a bullhorn and start yelling at people," he told Fox News Digital in a Friday interview.  He also claimed such protests don't "make you noble, it just makes you an a**hole" Since the onset of the war between Israel and terrorist group Hamas, anti-Israel demonstrations have erupted across the U.S. The protesters have gone to extreme lengths at times to telegraph their displeasure with U.S. policy in regard to Israel. Some have trespassed in government buildings, blocked high-traffic bridges and entered priva

Published by Valerie Richardson for The Washington Times President Biden has long been at odds with the Catholic Church over his pro-choice stance, but some Catholics were nonetheless flabbergasted to see him make the sign of the cross during an abortion-rights event in Florida. The president made the four-point sign representing the cross during the campaign stop Tuesday as he listened to Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried blast Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’s stance on abortion gestational limits, as shown in a video clip.   “We come back here to the state of Florida, where Ron DeSantis felt like he needed to run for president, so 15 weeks wasn’t good enough,” said Ms. Fried. “We had to go to six weeks.” It was unclear why Mr. Biden, a lifelong Catholic, would choose that moment to make the sign, but his gesture stunned CatholicVote President Brian Burch, who accused him of mocking Catholicism. “Biden’s decisio

Published by Alice Wright for The Daily Mail FBI Director Christopher Wray has warned of the heightened possibility of a coordinated terror attack in the US. Wray told NBC News the FBI is 'increasingly concerned [about] the potential for some kind of coordinated attack here in the homeland.'  Explaining that such an event 'may be not that different from what you saw against the concert hall in Russia a few weeks ago from ISIS-K.' The attack on a Moscow concert hall on March 22 killed at least 144 people, making it the deadliest terror attack in Russia for 20 years.  Wray has previously raised concerns over the elevated terror threat, telling a House of Representatives panel earlier this month that the current terror threat is the highest he can remember in his career. 'As I look back over my career in law enforcement, I would be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and na

Published by David Shepardson for Reuters WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - TikTok's chief executive said on Wednesday that the company expects to win a legal challenge to block legislation signed into law by President Joe Biden that he said would ban the popular short video app used by 170 million Americans. "Rest assured - we aren't going anywhere," CEO Shou Zi Chew said in a video posted moments after Biden signed the bill that gives China-based ByteDance 270 days to divest TikTok's U.S. assets or face a ban. "The facts and the Constitution are on our side and we expect to prevail again." Biden's signing sets a Jan. 19 deadline for a sale - one day before his term is set to expire - but he could extend the deadline by three months if he determines ByteDance is making progress. Biden is seeking a second term against former President Donald Trump. In 2020, Trump was blocked by the

Published by Winston Rogers for WJLA : MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (WJLA) — The Rockville, Maryland student accused of writing a 129-page document outlining a potential school shooting at a Montgomery County school will remain in jail without bond, a judge ordered early Friday afternoon. Shortly after a bond hearing, Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said the judge sided with the county that Andrea Ye, otherwise known as Alex, in his current mental state could cause public safety concerns. However, a judge sided with the family by agreeing that Ye would show up to court for a trial. The case will go to the Montgomery County Circuit Court, meaning a grand jury will review Ye's case in the coming weeks, according to State's Attorney John McCarthy. The State's Attorney added that Ye would be tried as an adult, and the trial itself would only focus on the incident around the manifesto. Ye was arrested o

Published by Norman Weiss for Prime Timer Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman's raunchy and satirical animated HBO Max tribute to the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials, created by Shrill's Alexandra Rushfield, "is proudly crude and immature without wholly abandoning the holiday spirit," says Daniel Fienberg. "Often that immaturity comes at the expense of Santa Inc. ever being nearly as subversive as it thinks it is, but I’m not sure anybody involved here is likely to take my wish that the series were a bit smarter and maybe a hair more refined seriously." Fienberg adds: "Still, Santa Inc. works on some traditional levels, especially when it comes to its ensemble. Silverman’s Candy even resembles her Wreck-It-Ralph character and she plays right into the sort of enthusiastic, high-energy dirtiness that has always been the comedian’s hallmark. Rogen’s Santa boasts the actor’s reliable well-intentioned bluster and Nicholas Braun’s Devin, a frat boy with

Published by Hannah Nathanson for The Washington Post : Matthew Hawn checked his phone to see if the wait was finally over. It had been five months since he was fired for teaching about white privilege at a high school in rural Tennessee. Two months since he had fought to regain his job at an emotional three-day hearing, becoming a symbol of the acrimonious debate over the way race, racism and history should be taught in America’s schools. Now - nothing. No announcements from the school district about his appeal effort. No messages from his lawyer. No texts from the friends and former colleagues who had sustained him through a lonely half-year of jobless limbo. Could he return to teaching in his hometown? Apparently, no one knew, although an independent hearing officer was supposed to deliver a verdict by the end of the week. It was now Friday, inching past 4:26 p.m. on an October afternoon. Hawn, 43, white and balding, sighed. Marloh, his German shepherd, started
