I'm currently obsessed with this man inconvenienced by the building collapse situation on East 42nd Street: "It's a real snafu."

After being told they needed a costly permit to keep selling lemonade, three Michigan brothers took their case to the state capitol. Now, lawmakers have voted to exempt kids' lemonade stands from licensing requirements, if the state Senate agrees.

Breaking news: An ICE officer fatally shot a Mexican immigrant in Houston during an attempted traffic stop arrest, authorities said.

"He just proposed to her." An NYPD chopper pilot described the moment two climbers were spotted atop the Empire State Building's spire after scaling the iconic landmark. Streets below were shut down as officers, including the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit, responded. The Russian self-proclaimed "rooftopper" pair, known for scaling some of the world's tallest buildings, were taken into custody, and no injuries were reported. Police sources say they could face charges including trespassing and reckless endangerment.

EXCLUSIVE: Babies born during America’s 250th birthday celebration will receive a special piece of history.

The Social Security Administration is launching a limited-edition commemorative Social Security card featuring the Freedom 250 logo for children born in the U.S. between July 2 and Dec. 31, 2026.

According to an announcement exclusively shared with FOX Business, the card functions just like a standard Social Security card, but will serve as a unique keepsake marking the nation’s 250th anniversary.

DHS has published notice confirming that, consistent with the lower court's stay, TPS beneficiaries' status and employment authorization remain valid until the lower court modifies its order in light of the Supreme Court's decision. Clear guidance matters

This is wild and gross.

[Hamed Aleaziz @Haleaziz]

NEW: Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last 5 days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push at ICE to increase arrests.

The WH has wanted more arrests.

The expectation inside ICE is 2K arrests a day — up from 1K earlier this year.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

In the birthright citizenship case, even the ultra-conservative Justice Alito acknowledges the plight of children who were born in the US "to mothers unlawfully present in this country. Some members of this group have lived here for years, and they have a strong moral claim to be able to remain in the land where they grew up. Congress can and should address their situation." That's a plea to regularize the DACA kids, the "Dreamers."

[9/11 Memorial & Museum @Sept11Memorial]

In the wake of the September 11 attacks, hundreds of dedicated search and rescue dogs were deployed to Ground Zero, where they worked side by side with first responders amid unimaginable devastation. These highly trained K9s tirelessly searched through the rubble, assisted in recovery efforts, and provided moments of comfort and companionship during one of the nation’s darkest chapters.

Representing breeds such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies, each dog and handler team brought skill, determination, and compassion to the mission. Their service reflected the extraordinary partnership between humans and animals and the many forms that courage can take.

Today, we honor these remarkable dogs and the handlers who stood beside them. Their legacy endures as a powerful symbol of hope, resilience, and the enduring bond between people and their canine companions.

GOP Senators Katie Britt (R-AL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) both out with immediate calls for Congress to take action to end birthright citizenship.

Expect that momentum to grow within Republicans.

[The Chamberlain Network @ChamberlainVets]

Affirmed: Citizenship in America is not inherited through parentage, wealth, race, or status.

It is a constitutional promise, one we served to defend, ensuring that every child born here belongs fully to the country they may one day serve, and lead.
