Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin endorsed Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears for governor ahead of the state's November 2025 gubernatorial contest. Youngkin and Sears are both Republicans. The governor took office in early 2022, but the state constitution blocks governors from serving two consecutive terms, so he cannot run for re-election in 2025. The race will be one of the first significant races since President-elect Donald Trump's 2024 victory. Merle Rutledge is also running for governor as a Republican, while Rep. Abigail Spanberger is a candidate on the Democratic side. "Winsome has been an outstanding Lt. Governor, and she will be a great Governor," Youngkin said in social …

"There's a whole host of Republican governors who have led on issues around at K-12 education, in particular, and in other cases, higher education," DeVos told Fox News Digital in an interview. "They have great backgrounds and could do a great, great job in carrying out the policies of a second Trump administration. Which I believe, as President Trump has said, should definitely…

President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair spoke to "America's Newsroom" on Tuesday and told host Dana Perino that the legacy media's status quo needed to change. "Jeff Bezos just recently did an op-ed where he said that Americans don't trust the news media. He said now they're the least trusted of all. And I think he's speaking a lot of truth there. So I think the status quo, particularly when it comes to legacy media, needs to change," Carr said. Trump tapped Carr, who is currently the senior Republican member of the FCC, to lead the FCC on Sunday. Perino asked Carr what the agency can do to help legacy media. "There's …

A Connecticut university is roiled in controversy after a report revealed that the school was attempting to find "creative ideas" to offer undocumented students payment for their internships.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - As Kirk Cameron and several of his Christian friends helped premiere his new children's show last week, they also weighed in on who they think President-elect Donald Trump should pick to lead the Department of Education, deeming it an important choice for parents and children alike, or whether it should even exist. Some of the famous figures walking the green carpet at the premiere of the Christian-themed "The Adventures of Iggy and Mr. Kirk" last Thursday agreed that the 2024 election was a referendum on the "wokeness" parents were seeing in the media, entertainment, and schools. They wanted to see more change come to the Department of Education when T…

NEW YORK – Daniel Penny's defense team called a number of character witnesses to the stand Tuesday, including two Marine sergeants who served him, his mother, his sister and other friends – all of whom praised his character and integrity as he fights charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide for the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. Penny, 26, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the top charge of manslaughter. He also faces a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide for the death of Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with a history of mental health outbursts, drug abuse and criminal behavior, some of which took place on the subway.

New York prosecutors are requesting a stay until at least 2029 in New York v. Trump, as the president's defense attorneys prepare to move to dismiss the case entirely. Prosecutors wrote a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday, who agreed last week to grant a stay on all deadlines associated with the conviction proceedings against Trump in the final months before he takes office. Merchan granted the request, which issues a stay on all deadlines, including the Nov. 26 sentencing date, to consider the effect of his election as president. Prosecutors had asked for the pause in proceedings, which they said would allow them to better evaluate the impact of Trump’s new stat…
