Trump admin’s mail-in ballot fight lands back at Supreme Court

The Trump administration filed a new appeal with the Supreme Court on Sunday seeking to enforce restrictions on mail ballots, as the ballots begin entering states across the country ahead of the midterm elections.

The filing asks the high court to stay a preliminary injunction issued Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani that prevents the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing several requirements for ballot mail in the November elections.

"Ballots have already begun to be mailed in North Carolina, and more States will begin the mailing process as the injunction remains in place — including Alabama on September 9 and at least five States the week of September 13," Solicitor General John Sauer wrote.

FEDERAL JUDGE AGAIN BLOCKS TRUMP'S MAIL BALLOT ORDER JUST BEFORE MIDTERMS

"Once those ballot envelopes enter the mailstream, there is no retrieving them," he added.

Sauer argued that allowing the injunction to remain in place risks "sowing confusion and chaos" as more states begin mailing ballots because preparations to comply with the Postal Service rule remain voluntary rather than mandatory.

The administration maintains the rule is "a lawful and modest exercise of rulemaking authority delegated by Congress to the Postal Service" and "regulates the U.S. Mail, not federal elections."

The rule requires federal election ballots sent through the mail to use envelopes that include the official Election Mail logo, meet automation requirements and carry unique barcodes, according to the filing. State election officials would also have to submit envelope designs for review and provide the Postal Service with information about intended ballot recipients.

The administration says the requirements are intended to improve the handling and delivery of ballot mail and protect the mail system from being used to facilitate voter fraud.

MAIL-VOTING CRACKDOWN MOVES AHEAD AS TRUMP COURT WIN OPENS DOOR TO FEDERAL ACTION

The rule would not give the Postal Service authority to determine who is eligible to vote by mail or whether ballots should be counted, responsibilities that would remain with state and local election officials.

Democratic-led states and voting rights groups challenging the restrictions contend the changes are unconstitutional, while election officials have argued there is not enough time to revise their systems to comply before November.

The administration disputes those arguments, saying Congress gave the Postal Service broad authority to regulate the handling and delivery of mail and that the rule does not dictate ballot content, determine voter eligibility, establish election deadlines or govern how ballots are counted.

The filing marks the third time the administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the dispute. The high court previously allowed the administration’s plan to move forward but has not ruled on whether the restrictions themselves are legal.

The battle could have major ramifications for the November elections, when control of Congress is at stake. Nearly one-third of U.S. voters cast ballots by mail.

Democratic lawmakers erupt after anti-Israel journalist calls Hakeem Jeffries an ‘AIPAC monkey’ in viral rant

Anti-Israel journalist Rula Jebreal apologized "unconditionally" after calling House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., an "AIPAC monkey" during an interview earlier this week, a remark the Congressional Black Caucus and several Democratic lawmakers condemned as blatantly racist.

The comment came as Jebreal appeared on Wajahat Ali’s "The Left Hook" podcast on Wednesday, where she accused Jeffries — who is Black — of carrying out the agenda of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and blasted his support for Israel.

"His name is Hakeem. ‘Hakeem’ is an Arabic name which means ‘healer.’ He’s not a healer, he’s a divider," Jebreal said.

LEFT-WING PODCASTER BLASTS SCHUMER, JEFFRIES AS 'FASCIST COLLABORATORS'

"He is a bought and paid by AIPAC monkey," she added. "With all due respect — and I don’t mean it in a racist way." Jebreal continued, "He is just basically an errand boy, and we’re done and tired." 

Immediately following Jebreal’s comments, host Ali sought to clarify the meaning behind her remarks.

"I know you corrected yourself, Rula, but I just want to address it," Ali said. "Using monkey to anyone Black, it has terrible racial connotations. But I think you caught yourself and said you didn’t mean it with any racial animosity."

"I didn’t," Jebreal replied. "There’s these three monkeys — one, I cannot hear, I cannot see, I cannot speak – it reminds me of these three monkeys."

However, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) rejected Jebreal’s explanation of her controversial comments, with other Democratic leaders following suit.

"To be clear, there isn’t a non-racist way to call Leader Jeffries — a Black man — a ‘monkey’ or ‘errand boy,’" the group said in a statement posted to X.

SOME DEMOCRATS PRIVATELY DISGUSTED BY HASAN PIKER BUT ARE AFRAID TO PUBLICLY CRITICIZE HIM, HOUSE DEM CLAIMS

The CBC then pointed to Ali, the podcast’s host and a staunch critic of Israel, adding, "This is what happens when we hold ourselves to such low standards for what’s allowable in our discourse — people get comfortable being openly bigoted."

"We have to stop platforming and trafficking in anti-Black racism, whether it’s on the political right or the left," the group concluded.

DEM SENATE CANDIDATE MAKES STUNNING ADMISSION ABOUT ANTISEMITISM IN HER PARTY: 'DANGEROUS'

Her comments also drew criticism from several Democratic lawmakers, who took to X to condemn the inflammatory statement.

"Blatantly racist and offensive rhetoric — it should be condemned by everyone, across the political spectrum. Period," Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo, posted online.

DEMOCRATS CONDEMNING HASAN PIKER AS BACKLASH SPREADS THROUGH PARTY

Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., echoed the same sentiment, posting, "Calling a Black man a ‘monkey’ is racist. Full stop."

"If Wajahat Ali and Rula Jebreal were on the far right, no one on the far left would have any trouble condemning them for dehumanizing a Black man in racist terms," he continued. "The silence is deafening."

DEMOCRAT RIPS HASAN PIKER AS 'HACK WHO THRIVES ON HATE' OVER HIS WARNING TO AMERICAN JEWS ABOUT ISRAEL

After the clip circulated online, Jebreal posted an apology to X.

"I am disgusted and horrified that Hakeem Jeffries is taking money from AIPAC amidst Israel's genocide in Palestine," Jebreal wrote. "That said, a term that I used to describe him was inappropriate and offensive and should never have been used. I apologize unconditionally."

However, Jebreal's attempts at damage control drew a skeptical read from CEO of Axia Public Relations CEO Jason Mudd.

"She reasserts the accusation first and tucks the apology at the end. That's not confessing, that's a closing argument with ‘sorry’ bolted on," Mudd told Fox News Digital.

"The podcast clarification and the written apology target two different audiences: one tried to survive the moment live, the other tried to survive the headline," he continued. 

Jebreal and Jeffries did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Non-citizen police officers approved after Dem says ICE 'invasion' 'sends a message'

After a week of ICE raids, the Democrat-dominated City Council of Danbury, Connecticut, voted nearly unanimously to approve non-citizen legal residents serving as police officers.

Under the new guidance, approved in an 18-2 vote, non-citizen legal residents and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients living in Danbury are allowed to serve as police officers in Danbury.

One city council member, Democrat Joe Britton, remarked that the vote "sends a message to our immigrant community at large that you are welcome in Danbury."

ICE operations in the area resulted in more than 60 arrests, according to local reports. The arrests prompted public outrage in the community, including from city officials such as Britton, who called the raids "frightening."

BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN FIRES BACK AFTER DEMOCRAT CHRIS MURPHY CLAIMS ICE IS ‘TERRORIZING LITTLE KIDS’

The only two council members to vote against the measure were Republicans, while the council’s 17 Democrats and one Republican voted in favor.

Before the vote, Britton said that "what we have here is an opportunity." He noted that "though this definitely wasn’t planned to be on the agenda on the end of a federal invasion of immigration officials in Danbury … I do think it's timely."

"There is no reason to vote against this, and if you do vote against this, I truly question your moral compass," he added.

Britton emphasized that this change "is legal, it's allowed" and said it has been recommended.

Britton told Fox News Digital that "Danbury is an immigrant city, and I believe someone who is lawfully here, committed to our community, and willing to raise their hand and take an oath to protect and serve should have the opportunity to do so."

He added that "this change does not lower Danbury’s standards for becoming a police officer. It simply allows otherwise qualified lawful permanent residents and DACA recipients to apply and compete for these positions."

He noted that "every applicant must still satisfy the same training, background, character, and certification requirements required of any other officer," saying, "This was about expanding the pool of qualified applicants while maintaining the same high standards our residents expect from their police department."

Similarly, Taylor O'Brien, a spokesperson for the Danbury city government, told Fox News Digital that council "amended its ordinance in accordance with Connecticut's Police Officer Standards and Training Council, allowing legal permanent residents and DACA recipients to apply to become officers in the Danbury Police Department."

DEM SENATE NOMINEE CHANGES TUNE ON ICE AFTER VOWING NOT 'ONE MORE DIME' FOR AGENCY

O'Brien said that "this standard is followed by over 30 municipalities in Connecticut and several states across the country" and that it "opens Danbury's applicant pool to otherwise qualified candidates, including legal Danbury residents, who are currently applying to be police officers in other communities."

In 2020, the Connecticut Police Officer Standards and Training Council "partially waived" the citizenship requirement, extending eligibility for law enforcement candidates in Connecticut to lawful permanent residents and DACA recipients, according to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.

O'Brien added that Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves, a Democrat, "ensures Danbury maintains a rigorous hiring process for our Police Officers," adding that "this amendment should encourage qualified residents from the Danbury community to apply to serve the City they call home."

According to the Danbury News Times, Alves himself immigrated to the U.S. as an "undocumented child" and gained citizenship in 2017.

The outlet quoted Alves saying he is "glad the City Council approved" the measure. Alves emphasized that "the standards are not being lowered" and that "every applicant still has to meet the same rigorous background, training, fitness and professional standards required of any Danbury police officer."

"What we are doing is giving qualified people an opportunity to compete for the job," said Alves. "For a diverse city like Danbury, it strengthens our recruitment pool and gives us another opportunity to hire talented people who understand and care about the community they want to serve."

Fox News Digital reached out to Britton for additional comment.

Former North Texas police officer given three life sentences for child pornography, solicitation of minor

A former police officer in North Texas was ordered to serve three consecutive life sentences in prison after investigators found him in possession of over 300 videos and images of children being sexually abused, according to a statement from Johnson and Somerville Counties' district attorney.

Former Itasca Police Department Officer Daniel Joseph Bates was convicted Wednesday of possession of child pornography and online solicitation of a minor after a civilian set him up in an entrapment scheme, according to a statement District Attorney Timothy Good shared with Fox News Digital.

Texas Rangers arrested Bates after an adult decoy posing as a 15-year-old girl alerted police that Bates was communicating with someone he believed to be a minor, according to the statement.

The civilian alerted police to Bates' communications with him, prompting Rangers to obtain a search warrant for his digital devices, and they allegedly found over 300 images of minor children being sexually abused, according to the statement.

"The images and videos that had to be processed and presented to the jury are indescribable in the level of depravity they depict and the degree of deviance of the defendant who voluntarily possessed and viewed those types of images," Good said in the statement."

"Daniel Bates disgraced his badge and violated his oath and became the monster that he was sworn to protect the community from. Our community is safer with Bates serving three consecutive life sentences."

Bates testified that the child pornography in his possession was part of a secret investigation he was conducting into human traffickers, but prosecutors disputed that.

Bates was only a reserve police officer and, at the time of his arrest, was working highway construction security, according to authorities.

"Bates was unable to substantiate his claims that he was conducting an official police investigation," the statement read.

Bates reportedly told the person he was communicating with that, because he was a police officer, he carries a gun at all times. This prompted Arlind Queriman, a civilian who creates video content in which he exposes people who try to solicit minors for sex, to contact authorities, according to FOX 4 Dallas.

"Some people say we're vigilantes. Vigilantes beat up these people. I hand everything over to law enforcement," Queriman told FOX 4.

DRAG QUEEN SCHOOL BOARD VICE PRESIDENT ARRESTED ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND ENDANGERMENT CHARGES

Bates also attempted to use his status as a reserve police officer to get out of the charges.

"He actually tried to play the badge thing," Good told FOX 4.

"The badge was supposed to be a shield for children — not a shield for a predator. He made his choices. The jury made its verdict. And the judge made sure his next choice will be made from a prison cell for the rest of his life," Assistant District Attorney Christy May said via the statement shared with Fox News Digital.

The three life sentences for child pornography possession are accompanied by a 40-year sentence for solicitation of a minor, according to the statement.

Fox News Digital contacted Itasca Police Department for further comment.

Youth football coaches fighting & acting like fools in Pennsylvania isn't the least bit shocking

After a summer in which a travel baseball pitcher was allegedly ordered by his father to throw at the opposing team's dugout in what was a very troubling incident, we shouldn't be shocked in the least about what happened at a Pennsylvania youth football game.

During Saturday's game in western Pennsylvania, youth coach Dequay Canton of the Carlynton Little Cougars was seen enraged and fighting coaches from Keystone Oaks. In a statement, Canton claimed he was being portrayed by the national media to be the aggressor, but he says racism is what fueled his actions.

LAWSUIT ALLEGES SOCCER COACH BENCHED TEEN WHO WAS INJURED BY TEAMMATE FOR ALLEGED RACIAL SLUR

Without providing evidence, Canton claimed "our black and brown kids continued to be called an 'N,' and every quarter our kids were called the 'N' word, and we addressed it with the referees, but there was no response."

Tell us what you're seeing from the world of youth sports. Email: joe.kinsey@outkick.com

He continued, "It's a shame that in 2026, 8-9-year-old kids are calling young black and brown kids the 'N.' It's even more shameful that their parents, coaches and referees let them do it without correcting them. They would rather fight me for addressing it than correct their kids. That should be the story. Period."

The Carlynton youth football team followed up Canton's statement by announcing that the man who recorded the incident, Ryan Crux, has been banned from team football events. Crux's son plays for the Carlynton team. Crux admitted to Pittsburgh media Tuesday night that there was bad blood brewing between him and the coaching staff. It turns out, this video probably helped facilitate a ban.

"My son has been getting screamed at things like 'go get that f–kin ball!' since he was 6 years old. I don't speak to my son like that and I don't want anyone else speaking to him like that," Crux wrote on Facebook this week. "Now hes 9 years old talking like hes 15 and I blame it all on youth football coaches. I don't want to hear him speak like that but hes been hearing it from these wack ass coaches for 3 years straight so what f–kin difference does it make now?"

YOUTH SOFTBALL COACH & UMPIRE GET INTO UGLY CONFRONTATION AS EMOTIONS BOIL OVER AT ARKANSAS TOURNAMENT

By now, none of this should be shocking. It's business as usual in a world where mom and dad are blowing $260 a weekend to attend travel basketball tournaments. It's a world where 11U pitchers are allegedly told to throw a fastball at his opponent's dugout –– and then the boy obeyed the alleged orders.

It's a world where a Mississippi sheriff lost his job this summer for fighting an umpire after a 14U travel baseball game. It's also a world where a parent is willing to come out on the field to trip a kid who's running towards the end zone.

YOUTH PITCHER LAUNCHES FASTBALL AT OPPOSING DUGOUT AFTER ALLEGED ORDER FROM COACH: 'ABSOLUTELY BUSH LEAGUE'

It's also a world where, just this week in Ohio, 11 members of a top Cleveland high school football team were charged with theft after ripping off $4,500 in merchandise from a Columbus Dick's while in town for a football game. Two of those charged with the thefts are adults, including one who had committed to a scholarship from D-1 Kent State.

Who's to blame? All of us. Americans have actively destroyed community youth sports for so long that there's no putting the genie back in the bottle at this point. We've created life-or-death 8-9U football leagues with parents who are ready to battle the second they leave their SUVs.

We've put people like Dequay Canton in charge of our kids and let him run wild.

Do Americans have the spine to do better? Apparently not. These incidents keep happening and show no sign of slowing down.

Two Democrats rescue Mike Johnson's anti-socialism resolution in stunning move

Two Democrats helped Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., score a commanding victory Tuesday after overcoming a House GOP rebellion to advance a resolution to condemn socialism.

House conservatives had threatened to tank a procedural vote, called a "rule vote," meant to unlock debate on several bills GOP leaders wanted lawmakers to vote on this week.

That rebellion would have been successful if not for two moderate left-wing lawmakers coming to the GOP's rescue. It's almost unheard of for the minority party to help their political rivals pass a rule. 

It appears to have blindsided House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who later told reporters he was not notified beforehand.

JOHNSON SCORES WIN AS CONSERVATIVE REBELS END HOUSE FLOOR BLOCKADE OVER VOTER ID BILL

Five Republicans voted against the rule, which was poised to fail until Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., provided two critical votes to get the GOP over the finish line in a narrow 209 to 208 vote.

The five House Republicans who voted against it were Reps. Pete Sessions, R-Texas; Chip Roy, R-Texas; Ralph Norman, R-S.C., Clay Higgins, R-La.; and Andy Harris, R-Md.

The rebels' issue was not with the measure itself, nor the bills it would have allowed the House to pass. Their votes were a protest against how their leaders handled a plan to avert a government shutdown just before the midterm elections, a short-term funding bill called a continuing resolution (CR). That measure passed just before the rule vote began.

"NO ON CR. NO ON RULE THAT DOES NOT ALLOW US TO AMEND AND FIX THE CR: The House of Representatives will be voting for a government funding continuing resolution TODAY that FAILS to deliver on common-sense policies for the American people," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wrote on X.

Harris, chair of the House Freedom Caucus, also told reporters he would vote against the rule in protest of the CR.

A handful of GOP lawmakers took issue with how the Senate modified an original House-passed CR, including adding an unrelated measure to delay a congressionally approved hemp product ban by 30 days and a provision curbing the Trump administration’s control over federal grants.

TENSIONS ERUPT IN HOUSE HEARING AS GOP ADVANCES ANTI-SOCIALISM RESOLUTION WHILE DEMS RAGE: 'SILLY SEASON'

"The Senate did violence to our bill," Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. "Hemp and the grants are the two big ones … and, frankly, I just don’t think CRs ought to be on suspension. … When you put it on suspension, you’re not asking for my vote, OK. You’re going to get Democrats."

Roy also criticized the bill for not cutting off funding to sanctuary jurisdictions or abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.

Self wound up voting for the rule, but not the CR. 

DEMOCRATS BLINK AS SCHUMER HELPS GOP CLEAR KEY SHUTDOWN HURDLE

Voting on a bill under "suspension" means it gets fast-tracked past multiple procedural hurdles in exchange for raising the threshold for passage from a simple majority to two-thirds. That means the rule vote's survival does not affect whether the CR passes or fails.

A CR is a short-term extension of current federal funding levels. It's normally used to give lawmakers extra time to cobble together a new budget for the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.

The CR up for a vote Tuesday would kick the government shutdown fight to a Dec. 11 deadline.

A rule vote traditionally falls along party lines and, until recently, it was unheard of for lawmakers to defy their leaders by joining the other side to defeat it. But it's become increasingly common in recent years for lawmakers, specifically on the right, to weaponize it as a form of protest.

Kelly Osbourne is opening up about the toll public scrutiny has taken on her following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne.

In a new interview with Hello!, the 41-year-old addressed the comments surrounding her appearance, admitting she was not in a place to handle the criticism while grieving the loss of the Black Sabbath frontman.

"I didn't navigate it — I wasn't well," Osbourne said when asked how she dealt with the scrutiny.

"This is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something, kicking me while I'm down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most," she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

"None of it proves strength; it only reveals a profound absence of compassion and character," she continued. "I'm currently going through the hardest time of my life. I should not even have to defend myself. But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanized in such a way!"

A week earlier, Osbourne had a similar response to harsh comments about her body.

"Literally can't believe how disgusting some human beings truly are," she shared alongside a screenshot of an Instagram comment in which one user wrote, "Looks like a dead body… she's tooooo thin and fragile.… Looks like she's going to see her dad soon."

During an appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" in December 2025, Sharon came to her daughter's defense after online trolls attacked Kelly's appearance. The legendary Black Sabbath frontman died at home in England on July 22, 2025. He was 76.

My dad just died and I'm doing the best that I can, and the only thing that I have to live for is my family," she said in the video. "I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life not the miserable side of my life. So to all those people, f--- off."
