Fox News: Trump's controversial plan to fire federal workers finds favor with Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has temporarily authorized the Trump administration to proceed with mass layoffs at the Education Department, allowing the termination of around 1,400 employees. This ruling reflects the court's increasing deference to presidential authority over executive branch agencies.
The decision is part of a broader trend where the Supreme Court has supported Trump's efforts to reduce the federal workforce, despite challenges claiming such actions require congressional approval. Legal experts suggest that while these rulings are temporary, they may have lasting implications for affected employees and the structure of federal agencies.

Fox News: Landline identity theft leads to major bank fraud
Landline identity theft is a growing concern, where scammers exploit outdated phone numbers linked to bank accounts to gain unauthorized access. A recent case involved a victim losing funds after a scammer ported their old landline number to a mobile device, intercepting security codes and draining their accounts.
To mitigate this risk, individuals are advised to audit their account recovery options, use authenticator apps instead of SMS for two-factor authentication, and freeze number porting with their carriers. Regular monitoring of bank activity and employing strong password management practices are also recommended to enhance security against evolving scams.

Fox News: EXCLUSIVE: Conservative groups urging Trump admin to expose anti-Christian ‘pattern’ in Biden FBI
A coalition of conservative groups is pressing U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to release documents related to the FBI's surveillance of traditionalist Catholic groups.

The groups argue that the FBI's actions reflect a pattern of dishonesty and religious discrimination, urging the current administration to protect religious freedoms. They assert that evidence suggests more documents exist than previously acknowledged, and they call for accountability regarding the FBI's treatment of religious organizations.

Fox News: Ghislaine Maxwell's family insists she received unfair trial in Jeffrey Epstein case
Ghislaine Maxwell's family claims she did not receive a fair trial and is appealing her 2020 conviction for sex trafficking. They argue that her prosecution violated a prior plea agreement made with Jeffrey Epstein, and they are considering filing a writ of habeas corpus to challenge her imprisonment.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence and is due for release in July 2037 if her appeals fail. Her supporters criticize the government's handling of the case, particularly after recent announcements regarding Epstein's files, which they believe undermine her conviction.
