Fox News: House Dems stage coordinated 'Town Halls' on GOP colleagues' turf: 'Part of a game'
The Democratic National Committee is launching billboards in nine competitive House districts to criticize Republican representatives for not holding town halls with constituents. This initiative coincides with the DNC's "People's Town Halls" during the Congressional recess, aiming to engage voters in areas deemed vulnerable for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.
Democrats argue that these GOP lawmakers are avoiding accountability, particularly following recent protests at town halls due to controversial actions by President Trump. DNC Chair Ken Martin stated that if Republicans refuse to engage, Democrats will step in to ensure constituents' voices are heard.
Fox News: DAVID MARCUS: Why Schumer's do-nothing approach makes perfect sense for Democrats
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces backlash from progressive Democrats after voting to keep the government open. Despite calls for a primary challenge from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Schumer's strategy aims to lower Trump's approval ratings rather than engage in a government shutdown.
Moderate Democrats, including Schumer and Sen. John Fetterman, advocate for a patient approach to countering Trump, recognizing that immediate confrontation may not yield favorable results. This strategy reflects a broader Democratic sentiment that emphasizes political patience over impulsive reactions.

Fox News: How Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists will be different under Trump
With President Trump in office, Israel is reportedly operating with fewer military constraints, allowing for a more aggressive approach against Hamas. Analysts suggest that Israel's strategy now includes controlling Gaza through military oversight of civilian movement and food distribution to pressure Hamas.
The collapse of a ceasefire has reignited military operations, with Israel resuming strikes due to Hamas' refusal to release hostages. Concerns about the safety of these hostages are rising, as military action could increase risks. The outcome of Israel's campaign may hinge on Trump's political influence regarding negotiations.
