Former Anchorage Mayor Dan A. Sullivan has endorsed incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan over a third Dan Sullivan in Alaska's Senate race, a contest now tangled in court rulings, a federal investigation, and unresolved vote counts. The former mayor posted on social media ahead of the primary, branding himself "the OG Dan Sullivan" and urging Alaskans to back the sitting senator. His endorsement landed in a race that already featured two candidates with nearly identical names on the same ballot, a situation Republicans say was engineered by Democrats to siphon votes from the incumbent. The third man in the mix, Dan J. Sullivan, is a retired teacher from Petersburg, Alaska. He filed to run as a Republican, and his presence on the ballot set off…Open
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed drew sharp criticism from Republicans and even some Democrats after social media posts that critics called racist toward Second Lady Usha Vance and demeaning toward a female Trump aide.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed drew sharp criticism from Republicans and even some Democrats after social media posts that critics called racist toward Second Lady Usha Vance and demeaning toward a female Trump aide. El-Sayed, who is running against Republican former Congressman Mike Rogers, posted a message referencing Vice President JD Vance's wife and her Indian heritage after Vance criticized El-Sayed at a rally in Ohio. The post read: "So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no..." The implication, as critics read it, was that Vance's grandfather, whom Vance calls "Papaw", would not have accepted a woman of Indian descent. El-Sayed's campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Fox…Open

The National Hurricane Center is tracking two areas of potential tropical development in the Atlantic basin, but a strengthening El Niño and plumes of Saharan dust continue to stack the odds against a major storm. A strong tropical wave that recently rolled off the coast of Africa is pushing westward across the open ocean between Cabo Verde and the Caribbean, carrying showers and thunderstorms with it. The NHC has assigned the system medium odds of developing into a tropical depression or storm over the next seven days, though hostile upper-level winds and thick dust pouring off North Africa's Saharan Desert stand in its path. Separately, a broad area of low pressure a few hundred miles east-southeast of Bermuda has earned the formal…Open

A retired Texas judge denied Karmelo Anthony's motion for a new trial in the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet, leaving his 35-year prison sentence intact and sending the case to appeal. Retired District Judge Michael Chitty signed the half-page order Saturday after hearing two days of testimony in McKinney, Texas. The order was filed with the Collin County court on Monday. Chitty reviewed Anthony's motion, the full court record, evidence and arguments from both sides, legal briefs, and relevant case law before ruling. The order itself, as Fox News Digital reported , does not detail the judge's reasoning for the denial. Anthony, now 19, was convicted by a Collin County jury in June of murdering…Open
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to launch what he called the "single greatest financial offensive ever" against Iran, a sweeping sanctions campaign that threatens any nation still doing business with Tehran.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to launch what he called the "single greatest financial offensive ever" against Iran, a sweeping sanctions campaign that threatens any nation still doing business with Tehran. Bessent laid out the threat in a Financial Times op-ed published Sunday, framing the new economic pressure campaign in wartime language and warning that countries propping up Iran's economy face isolation from global capital markets. The op-ed came after a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, reached in June, collapsed last month, and as Tehran's own leadership appeared divided over how to respond. The message from the Treasury Department was blunt: the era of nations quietly buying Iranian petroleum,…Open

Brittany Boltinhouse, the 27-year-old former Miss North Carolina USA, is suing the pageant organization and its president for defamation, claiming they branded her a racist and a bigot to cover up the fact that they stripped her title over her conservative Christian beliefs. Boltinhouse filed the lawsuit on August 23 in Duplin County Superior Court, naming Miss USA president Thom Brodeur, the national organization, and North Carolina pageant producer A-Blaize Productions as defendants. The timing was pointed: she filed one day before the Miss USA competition kicked off in Miami, Florida, ensuring the suit would land while the pageant world was watching. The suit does not challenge the organization's authority to take away her crown.…Open
