Ohio Rep. Max Miller's attorney says he alone is responsible for accidentally including a sensitive photo of Miller's two-year-old daughter in a Dropbox folder the congressman shared publicly online, a mistake now fueling calls for Miller's resignation and a formal House Ethics Committee investigation. Miller posted the folder on X on August 2 alongside an almost-20-minute video denying domestic abuse allegations made by his former wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter of U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. The folder was meant to contain documents supporting Miller's defense. Instead, it included a photo of his toddler daughter that Moreno's attorneys now allege could constitute child sexual abuse material. Attorney Aaron Minc, who assembled…Open
A group of conservative figures led by Tucker Carlson and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is openly building toward a third-party presidential bid rooted in opposition to the Iran war, a move that polling suggests would damage Republicans far more than Democrats.

A group of conservative figures led by Tucker Carlson and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is openly building toward a third-party presidential bid rooted in opposition to the Iran war, a move that polling suggests would damage Republicans far more than Democrats. Greene posted a statement this month on X alongside an image of herself with Rep. Thomas Massie, Carlson, and former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent. The message framed the group as the vanguard of a new political movement, one that accuses President Trump of abandoning his campaign pledge to avoid new foreign conflicts. Just the News reported on the growing third-party chatter and its potential electoral consequences. Greene's post left little room for…Open

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a Sunday television appearance to declare Democrats unified heading into the midterms, but a growing faction inside her own party is spending millions to stop the socialist wing she represents. Ocasio-Cortez sat down with ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl on August 9, fresh off Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's primary victory in Michigan's U.S. Senate race. El-Sayed, a progressive who defeated centrist Rep. Haley Stevens despite millions in super PAC spending aimed at branding him too extreme, won with less than 50 percent of the vote. Ocasio-Cortez endorsed El-Sayed in July and campaigned alongside him in Michigan , appearing in ads and joining him and Sen. Bernie Sanders at The People V. The Powerful…Open
Iran's top security body has handed Washington a sweeping list of eight conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, demands that range from a full military withdrawal to war reparations, with a critical negotiation deadline now days away.

Iran's top security body has handed Washington a sweeping list of eight conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, demands that range from a full military withdrawal to war reparations, with a critical negotiation deadline now days away. Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and a commander in the Revolutionary Guard, declared through Iran's state news agency IRNA that the strait will not reopen until the United States "corrects its behavior." The demands, reported by the Daily Mail , amount to a maximalist opening position from a regime that has kept one of the world's most important shipping lanes largely shut since the conflict began in late February. Zolghadr reports directly to Iran's Supreme…Open

Former Smiths frontman Morrissey has canceled a four-show Las Vegas residency citing vague "logistical issues", the latest in a pattern of scrapped concerts stretching back more than a year. Ticket holders for the 67-year-old singer's August dates at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas received an email Friday telling them the shows were off. The cancellation notice, first reported by Page Six , offered no meaningful explanation beyond a boilerplate phrase that has become a recurring feature of Morrissey's touring schedule. The email read, in part: "Due to unforeseen logistical issues, the scheduled Las Vegas residency cannot take place." Shows had been set for August 14, 15, 18, and 19. Wynn Las Vegas scrubbed the dates from its…Open
Anthony Michael Hall says the late director John Hughes talked seriously about reuniting the five detention-room characters of The Breakfast Club as working adults in their thirties, a sequel that never made it past a phone call.

Anthony Michael Hall says the late director John Hughes talked seriously about reuniting the five detention-room characters of The Breakfast Club as working adults in their thirties, a sequel that never made it past a phone call. Hall, who played Brian "The Brain" Johnson in the 1985 film, disclosed the conversation during an appearance this week on The Rich Eisen Show. About seven minutes into the interview, Hall described a phone call from roughly 1988 in which Hughes laid out the broad strokes of a follow-up: the same five high schoolers, older now, reunited somehow in the workforce. The late comedian John Candy was also on the line, Hall said. The call lasted a couple of hours, and Hughes used part of it to float the sequel idea,…Open

Actress Donna Mills, 85, claims Playboy yanked her from a planned magazine cover after she refused to undress during a three-day photo shoot, and decades later, she's releasing those never-before-seen images on her own terms through OnlyFans. Mills, best known for playing the scheming Abby Cunningham on the CBS primetime soap "Knots Landing" from 1980 to 1989, told Fox News Digital she agreed to the Playboy shoot on one condition: she would not show anything. Playboy accepted the deal. Then the cameras started rolling, and the pressure began. The photographer, Mills said, spent three days nudging her to reveal more. His go-to line, she recalled, was simple and relentless: "Move that sheet down a little bit." Mills did not budge. She…Open

Bill Maher used his "Real Time" opening monologue to crack wise about Ariana Grande's appearance, and his own studio audience let him know the second punchline landed flat. The HBO host devoted part of his Friday night monologue to the White House's latest release of UFO files, weaving in a setup that compared one of the reported sightings, "a stick-like figure with large eyes", to the pop star. The first joke drew laughs and applause. The follow-up did not. After the audience responded warmly to the initial gag, Maher pressed his luck with a line about Grande's well-documented weight scrutiny: "Please, we kid. We kid. Maybe that joke will make her eat something." The studio crowd answered with audible groans, Variety reported . Maher…Open
