Judge Judy Sheindlin, 83, says she is done with on-camera work after three decades of courtroom television, but she is not done shaping what Americans see in the courtroom genre, moving behind the scenes to produce her son's new show. Sheindlin told People magazine in an interview published Thursday that her long-running follow-up series Judy Justice will wrap next month, closing a television career that began in 1996 with the original Judge Judy. That show ran 25 seasons before ending in 2021. Judy Justice followed for five more years. Now Sheindlin plans to step into the producer's chair for a new small-claims court program called Adam's Law, hosted by her 58-year-old son, Adam Levy. The show is set to debut September 14 on CBS, with…Open

One pilot aboard an Amazon cargo jet repeatedly warned his counterpart they were coming in too fast, for nearly two minutes, before the plane overran a Miami runway, struck a van, and killed five airport workers, newly released federal recordings reveal. The National Transportation Safety Board released a summary of cockpit voice recordings Wednesday showing a stark breakdown in crew coordination aboard the Boeing 767-300 as it approached Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon. One pilot called out the excessive speed again and again during the final approach and after touchdown. The AP reported that the other pilot never gave "a consistent verbal response" to those warnings. The plane had departed from Luis Muñoz Marín…Open
Two investigations have substantiated allegations that one of California's most powerful union presidents tried to strong-arm fellow labor leaders into backing a proposed billionaire tax, and engaged in a pattern of threatening conduct toward women in the process.

Two investigations have substantiated allegations that one of California's most powerful union presidents tried to strong-arm fellow labor leaders into backing a proposed billionaire tax, and engaged in a pattern of threatening conduct toward women in the process. Dave Regan, president of SEIU United Healthcare Workers West, one of California's largest and most politically influential unions, faces findings from two separate probes that paint a picture of coercion, intimidation, and, in one case dating to 2009, alleged physical assault against a female colleague. The national SEIU is now preparing an evidentiary hearing, and Regan has been temporarily barred from SEIU California offices. The allegations center on Regan's push to secure…Open

Twenty-five years after reporting from Ground Zero, Fox News Senior Correspondent Eric Shawn is battling skin cancer and undergoing prostate cancer surveillance, and newly released government documents show officials knew the air he breathed was far from safe. Shawn, 69, a New York native who has covered the September 11 anniversary from lower Manhattan every year since the attacks, disclosed his diagnosis during a live 2025 "Fox and Friends" segment that left his colleagues visibly stunned. His skin cancer is linked to the toxic dust and smoke he inhaled while reporting from the wreckage of the World Trade Center in the days after the towers fell. His Prostate-Specific Antigen level, a key marker doctors use to screen for prostate…Open

A 28-year-old Italian ambulance paramedic faces trial on charges he murdered elderly patients by injecting lethal air into their veins, and wiretaps allegedly capture him saying he enjoyed it. Luca Spada was arrested in April after colleagues raised concerns about a string of suspicious deaths involving patients in his care during or after ambulance transport. Prosecutors allege he killed six people by deliberately causing fatal embolisms, air bubbles forced into the bloodstream, targeting victims who were elderly or seriously ill. He remains in custody, and a court in the northern Italian city of Forlì has rejected his bid for house arrest. The Sun reported that Spada is scheduled to stand trial on October 15 before the Court of…Open

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani showed up at the 25th anniversary 9/11 remembrance at Ground Zero on Friday despite a petition signed by more than 110,000 people, and the families who lost loved ones in the Twin Towers were not shy about telling him he was unwelcome. Mourners at the memorial in Lower Manhattan told Fox News Digital they found the mayor's presence disrespectful and offensive, citing his association with streamer Hasan Piker, who once said America "deserved 9/11", and his appointment of Ramzi Kassem, an attorney who previously represented a Guantánamo detainee linked to an al Qaeda terrorist plot, as his administration's chief counsel. Walter Matuza, a Staten Island resident whose father was killed on September 11,…Open

A CBS anchor's visible shock that the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder mistrial was a Black man has drawn sharp criticism, and exposed the racial assumptions that pervade elite media. Gayle King was interviewing juror Paula Devlin on "CBS Mornings" Friday when Devlin revealed that the single juror who refused to join the other eleven had been the only Black person on the panel. King, 71, stopped the conversation cold. "A black man is the holdout juror?" she asked. Then: "Woah, I have to sit with that for just a second." The moment, captured on video and posted to the show's official X account, drew immediate backlash from conservative commentators who said King's reaction laid bare a set of assumptions about how a…Open

Vice President JD Vance used a protester's Mexican and Palestinian flag stunt at the Republican National Midterm Convention to deliver an unscripted broadside against the left, and the Dallas crowd roared back with chants of "USA." The disruption came Thursday night during Vance's keynote address at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the second and final day of the two-day Republican gathering. A male protester pulled a Mexican flag and a Palestinian flag from his pocket, waved them overhead, threw them toward the crowd, and screamed "Free Palestine." It was the first successful protest disruption of the entire convention. Vance did not miss a beat. He dropped his prepared remarks and addressed the incident head-on, turning the…Open
