NEW: Secretary of State Marco Rubio calls for the civilized world to unite against an "encroaching darkness," urging nations to defend what they have built and fight back against those who seek to destroy it.
"It is easy to destroy great things. It is far more difficult to make them. The enemies of civilization are only capable of the former. They are only capable of destroying great things. All they know is destruction."
"But we have built great things together. We have done it time and again. We know what we must do, and now we must do it."
NEW: Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller delivers a stark warning on the dangers of radical far-left ideology, sounding the alarm on how left-wing extremism inevitably leads to total authoritarian control.
"Left-wing terrorism always ends in bloodshed, misery and suffering."
"There's no point at which the left-wing terrorist is satisfied with his gains and ceases progressing."
"It always becomes a gulag."
"It always becomes the mass imprisonment of political enemies, the stripping of their rights and freedoms, inflicting immense pain, humiliation, suffering in order to establish complete and total control."

NEW: Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns the U.S. is facing "a new wave of this old evil," arguing that far-left extremist violence has surged to levels not seen in decades.
Rubio pointed to a series of recent deadly attacks by extremists:
—the assassination of Charlie Kirk

—the 2025 Minnesota Catholic school shooting carried out by a transgender shooter
—attacks targeting immigration officers
"This is a distinctive and unique evil. It has always been driven by a hatred above all else, a hatred for civilization itself."

"Under his direction, the DOJ has engaged directly with the angel families and treated us not like political props, but as partners in preventing future tragedies. And that's all that we've ever asked for."
Yellowstone officials have decided the fate of the bison that launched a grandfather eight feet into the air.
The bull that seriously injured Carl Isom-McDaniel in last week's viral attack will not be euthanized and will remain in the park. Officials said they are taking "no management action" against the animal, according to TMZ.
The grandfather suffered multiple broken bones that required surgery after the bison charged him.
The shocking encounter, captured by wildlife photographer Mike MacLeod, went viral after the bull tossed Isom-McDaniel into the air before standing over him.

SQZ A55
A South Florida woman says she was stunned after opening her vehicle registration renewal and reading her brand-new license plate.
The nearly 77-year-old says the seemingly random combination carries an inappropriate message — and she can't believe it ever made it through the approval process.
The Pompano Beach resident says she went "ballistic" when she saw the plate and immediately wanted it replaced. But not everyone agrees.
Her sons, friends, and even an 89-year-old neighbor think she should embrace the accidental double entendre and keep driving with it.
"They think it's hilarious."
The DMV hasn't explained how the plate was approved and ultimately issued.
The bottle is empty... and now the shelves are too.
Erling Haaland fully embraced American culture during the World Cup — right down to the souvenirs. The Norwegian soccer star went viral after arriving home carrying a taxidermied raccoon clutching an empty bottle of booze.
Now, the Dallas shop where he bought it says the quirky keepsake is completely sold out. Haaland's stamp of approval sparked such a surge in demand that the store is shipping internationally for the first time.
Meanwhile, the TSA — which has been faced with some strange conundrums thanks to the World Cup — posted on X that there's no rule against flying with a booze bottle-wielding stuffed raccoon, but suggested consulting individual airlines.

"I view this as more than a job. I view this as public service on behalf of a president who I firmly believe in everything this administration is doing, and really creating a better country for my children and their future."
"There is no secret. You just have to show up every day and keep going."
Squeeze WHAT?
A South Florida woman says she was stunned after receiving a new license plate with her registration renewal — and the seemingly random combination appears to spell out a crude phrase.
The nearly 77-year-old said she went "ballistic" after opening the envelope and finding a plate reading "SQZ A55," questioning how it ever made it through the approval process.
While she wants it replaced, her sons and some friends think she should keep it.
It's still unclear how the plate was issued.
On the off chance Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's honeymoon plans are still up in the air, Robert Irwin has a wild suggestion.
The Australian wildlife conservationist is inviting the newlyweds to spend their honeymoon at his family's five-star Crocodile Hunter Lodge at Australia Zoo, even after the couple skipped his earlier offer to get married there.
Irwin had previously offered to host the ceremony at Australia Zoo, which apparently holds quite a few weddings overlooking its African savanna section.
"It was between Australia Zoo and Madison Square Garden," Irwin joked. "It's a long flight."
Now he's pitching an infinity pool overlooking kangaroos at Crocodile Hunter Lodge, saying, "If that doesn't say honeymoon, I don't know what does."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani watched the World Cup semifinal alongside more than 100 inmates at Rikers Island.
The prisoners earned the watch party through good behavior as part of a correctional program officials say is designed to reduce violence inside the troubled jail.
The mayor's visit comes as Rikers remains under intense scrutiny over violence and dangerous conditions — problems so severe that a federal judge appointed an outside manager to help bring the jail under control.

HAWLEY: "Are you proud of that?"
OYER: "What I am proud of is the fact that I took my job as pardon attorney extremely seriously."
HAWLEY: "Apparently not seriously enough. You certainly didn't take the victims seriously."
“I think your judgment is astoundingly terrible.”
Hawley also blasted her for launching a personal website to sell merchandise.
"You're trying to make money on this? This is unbelievable, Ms. Oyer. And yet you say you're a victim."
