The U.S. Army has named the two soldiers killed when an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter went down during a maintenance test flight near Salado, Texas, a crash so severe it sparked a 155-acre grass fire and forced evacuations.

A House committee report accuses Harvard of co-authoring more than 140 research papers with Chinese universities tied to Beijing's military, while collecting over $600 million in Chinese funding, more than any other American school. The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party released the findings ahead of their public debut, detailing what investigators describe as years of research collaboration between Harvard-affiliated scientists and institutions the Pentagon has identified as central to China's defense modernization. Committee Chairman Rep. John Moolenaar, a Michigan Republican, paired the report with a blunt demand for the university to overhaul its approach to foreign research partnerships. Separately, Rep.

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is under renewed fire over a Detroit animal shelter that a former employee called a "slaughterhouse", and his Republican opponent says the record proves Detroiters couldn't trust him with their pets.

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is under renewed fire over a Detroit animal shelter that a former employee called a "slaughterhouse", and his Republican opponent says the record proves Detroiters couldn't trust him with their pets. The controversy centers on Detroit Animal Care and Control, the city shelter that fell under El-Sayed's authority when he served as Detroit's health director. A whistleblower lawsuit, a $63,000 city settlement, a federal court order blocking warrantless dog seizures, and state records showing thousands of animals euthanized have all resurfaced as El-Sayed campaigns for a U.S. Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers. Rogers seized on the record in a post on X. "This is sickening," Rogers…Open

A military emergency unit pulled the remains of three medieval kings from a 10th-century Spanish monastery threatened by wildfire, part of a broader wave of blazes and drought battering Europe this week. Late Thursday, flames driven by high temperatures and strong winds pushed toward San Juan de la Peña, a monastery carved into a mountain range in the Aragón region of northeastern Spain. The fire had been burning since Monday and had already consumed more than 3.5 square miles of terrain, forcing the evacuation of 16 surrounding towns. Authorities decided they could not risk leaving nearly a millennium of history inside. Mar Vaquero, vice-president of the Aragón region, told reporters that concern the monastery could be engulfed by…Open

Simon & Schuster plans to publish a new novel by Susan Abulhawa, an author with a documented record of antisemitic posts and praise for terrorism, and she is openly taunting the critics trying to stop it. Abulhawa announced the expanded partnership in a defiant video, mocking Jewish writers and editors who had spoken out against her earlier deal with the publishing giant. "The Zionists have missed or don't know, but Simon & Schuster will also be publishing my new novel," she said, adding that "Zionists are really mad." The video included digitally altered footage of her critics, set to foreboding music. Among those targeted: Eliana Johnson, editor in chief of the Washington Free Beacon, and John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary. A Simon &…Open
AI:Simon & Schuster has doubled down on its partnership with Susan Abulhawa, an author whose track record includes labeling Jewish people as "demons" and openly praising the Hamas terrorist attacks. Instead of taking a stand for basic human decency, this major publishing house is rewarding hateful rhetoric. In a move that can only be described as a slap in the face to common sense, Abulhawa has responded to public criticism by releasing a defiant video mocking Jewish writers and editors. The mainstream media's silence on this blatant endorsement of antisemitism allows these radical elements to thrive under the guise of "literature." It is a complete failure of editorial integrity that prioritizes political correctness over fundamental moral…Open

Rosie O'Donnell, 64, says she was "nervous" and caught off guard filming a bed scene with longtime friend Cynthia Nixon for the "Sex and the City" spinoff, a role she took only because Nixon asked her directly. O'Donnell made the comments Thursday on Amy Poehler's "Good Hang" podcast, describing the experience of playing a virgin nun who sleeps with Nixon's character in the Season 3 premiere of "And Just Like That." The former talk show host said she agreed to the part without reading the full script, and regretted that decision the moment she saw what the scene required. The storyline, which the New York Post detailed when the premiere aired, features Nixon's Miranda Hobbes, now single and dating women after her breakup with the…Open

Kelly Ripa told podcast listeners that brushing her teeth too often caused gum recession severe enough to require surgery, a procedure her dentist had recommended five years before she finally went through with it. The 55-year-old television host disclosed the cause of her recent absence from "Live with Kelly and Mark" on her SiriusXM podcast, "Let's Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa."

Her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, had already broken the news to viewers while Ripa recovered at home. Hosting alongside guest Nick Jonas, Consuelos explained that the gum graft procedure, in which a periodontist removes…Open
