Five years after Prince Harry left his royal duties for a new life in America, his isolation from the British royal family is only growing.
As reported by The Sun, Harry has cut off one of his closest allies, cousin Princess Eugenie, as the "forlorn" and "paranoid" prince shuts himself up in his California mansion - and his wife Meghan Markle pursues a career as an independent lifestyle influencer.
"He misses his family terribly, but no one is speaking to him any more," a source said. "He just wants to go for a beer with the guys, but his only friends are just the husbands of Meghan’s friends.”
Since leaving their royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have struggled to find their professional footing as they move from one media venture to the next. The couple's efforts have been poorly received by the public, notwithstanding the commercial success of some projects like their Netflix debut, and especially Harry's memoir, Spare, which became the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time despite criticism of the author for oversharing.
With critics seeing the couple as cashing in on the royal brand, the couple's bitter criticism of the British monarchy has only fueled the controversy, and tensions with Harry's family.
After getting snubbed by his cancer-stricken father during a visit to Britain last year, Harry reportedly did not learn about King Charles' latest hospital stay until the rest of the world found out Thursday night. The Sun said Harry was kept out of the dark so as to not cause alarm while he was 5,000 miles away.
Harry had remained close with Princess Eugenie after "Meghxit," even buying an investment property in Portugal near Eugenie and her husband Jack's.
But the friendship "soured" after Harry's cousin was photographed with Piers Morgan, a regular critic of Harry and Meghan.
“A dim view was taken of this, as Piers has clashed with Meghan and Harry in the past," a source said. "Eugenie has been supportive of Harry and Meghan for years and was right there at the beginning of their relationship — but it has now soured.”
In another painful twist, Harry has recently been forced out of the African charity he founded to honor his late mother, Princess Diana, with the organization accusing him of "racism" and bullying.
The Sun's sources said Harry seldom leaves his mansion in Montecito and has not spoken with his family in "years."
"First he was a spare to William, now he’s increasingly looking like a spare to Meghan — and it’s not a great look,” a source told The Sun.
The top vaccine official at the Food and Drug Administration has been forced out of his job by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Stock prices in major vaccine companies fell after Dr. Peter Marks' resignation. The longtime FDA official was reportedly told he could either quit or get fired, the New York Times reported.
Marks led the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, which monitors the safety of certain pharmaceutical products including vaccines and gene therapies. He played a critical role in Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration's effort to rapidly develop a COVID vaccine.
In his resignation letter, Marks accused HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of damaging public health with "misinformation and lies," citing the measles outbreak in Texas, which has killed two, as an example.
Marks said he was "willing to work" with Kennedy on addressing vaccine safety, but "it has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary."
Kennedy's criticism of vaccines was the main point of contention during his Senate confirmation hearing, but he overcame skepticism from the GOP to become the nation's top public health official. The Secretary has since taken steps to scrutinize vaccines, part of a wider shakeup of the HHS that saw Kennedy fire 10,000 workers last week.
"If Peter Marks does not want to get behind restoring science to its golden standard and promoting radical transparency, then he has no place at FDA under the strong leadership of Secretary Kennedy," the HHS said in a statement.
Marks played a prominent role in the rapid development of the COVID vaccine as part of "Operation Warp Speed" under President Trump. Marks later got the FDA to approve the shots on an emergency basis for children under five during President Biden's COVID vaccine push.
According to the New York Times, Marks' aggressive lobbying for experimental treatments faced skepticism within the FDA, including from his own vaccine team. He clashed with two top vaccine regulators who quit in protest of the Biden administration's politicized push to quickly authorize COVID booster shots.
Marks overruled his own FDA staff to approve a gene therapy for a form of muscular dystrophy, despite the drug failing a clinical trial.
In his resignation letter, Marks blasted Kennedy Jr. for undermining public confidence in science.
“Undermining confidence in well-established vaccines that have met the high standards for quality, safety and effectiveness that have been in place for decades at F.D.A. is irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation’s health, safety and security," he wrote.
The news of Marks' resignation led to concern among pharmaceutical lobbyists, Politico reported.
“Have had two CEOs call me already,” a Republican pharmaceutical lobbyist texted the outlet. "This is why [Sen. Bill] Cassidy should have voted NO.”
Democrats have been desperate to land a glove on Donald Trump - but "Signal-gate" has not put a dent in his popularity.
A new poll from CBS News found Trump's approval rating holding strong at 50%. The poll was taken after The Atlantic published its story about the administration's leaked Signal chats.
Notably, most Americans told CBS that they do believe the Signal breach is "serious," but it hasn't impacted Trump's popularity. His overall job rating is split down the middle 50-50.
The poll, which surveyed 2,600 Americans on March 27 and March 28, found that some parts of Trump's agenda have been received better than others.
While the president's ambitious deportation plans remain popular, voters are cool to his sweeping tariffs, which are seen as an economic risk. And many Americans feel Trump isn't focused on lowering inflation as much as he should be.
64% said Trump is not focused enough on lowering prices, and 55% said he was too preoccupied with raising tariffs. Most expect tariffs to raise prices further.
While Trump has conceded that tariffs could cause short-term pain, he says they will redound to the nation's benefit down the line. Still, few Americans are willing to take the risk: only 5% said they want more tariffs.
On the other hand, Trump still has somewhat of a grace period. 38% of Americans still blame Joe Biden for economic woes, more than the 34% who point to Trump.
Overall, Trump's approval rating on the economy is 48%. But his handling of his signature issue, immigration, receives net-positive ratings. 53% approve, versus 47% who disapprove. And a whopping 58% approve of his deportation policy.
One of the most controversial elements of Trump's agenda - his effort to slash the government workforce with DOGE - is dividing Americans 50-50, the CBS poll found.
Democrats have struggled to coalesce around a leader or message since Trump's historic triumph in November. After months of getting steamrolled by the president, Democrats pounced on the recent publication of leaked messages that were inadvertently shared with a liberal journalist.
While 44% said the breach is "very serious," 31% said "somewhat serious" and 25% said not serious at all.
The takeaway from the poll seems clear: Americans want to see Trump do more about the economy, but they aren't holding "Signal-gate" against him.
The message for Democrats is that they cannot expect one mistake to throw Trump off track. And the problems facing Democrats are deeper and more fundamental: while Trump remains relatively popular, voters see his opponents as out of touch with the cultural mainstream.
In short, it looks like Democrats' dark days are far from over.
During a meeting of Democrat lawmakers in Michigan, Rep. Debby Ringell (D) openly admitted that her party was using underhanded tactics to thwart President Donald Trump's agenda.
The Washtenaw County Democratic Party meeting, titled “Democratic Responses to Trump’s Attacks & Lessons Learned from 2024 MI House Races,” was posted online to showcase the plans made there.
Their plans didn't turn out exactly how they wanted, however, and Ringell had to try to shut down a young Black voter who applauded Trump for appointing Alice Marie Johnson as pardon czar, which he considered a meaningful step toward criminal justice reform.
“A couple points slash concerns to bring up. I think one thing that’s missing in this conversation,” the man asked Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit.”Trump appointed a new pardon czar. And it’s a Black woman, a real Black. And so I bring that up to bring up the point that the Republicans are kind of moving in on what is traditionally like a progressive concept, right? You know, giving people back there for very different reasons though, right? He’s trying to take care of the people that take care of him, whereas I don’t see very strong Democrat messaging on this point at all.”
Following the comment, a man tried to take the speaker's microphone, but the audience showed its disapproval to that plan.
Dingell then let the Democrat plan slip, or at least part of it.
“We need to make sure it’s in every one of those damn conservative, wherever they’re communicating, and we have to be the voices that are smart, targeted and effective, and fighting back. And the way we do it. We litigate. We legislate. We only need three votes, three Republican votes. I don’t know that we can ever get the person that’s closest to us, but he is chair of Ed and Labor, but we need to be targeting someone that may want to run for governor,” Dingell said.
Not only does Dingell want to see people protest Trump, but she wants her party to use the courts against him (which Democrats are already doing in full force). At the end of her comments, she mumbled, "I hope nobody taped that."
Democrats want to stop all the parts of Trump's agenda, even the ones their own people agree with and want to see.
Trump knows this--he addressed it when he spoke before the joint session of Congress back in February.
This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and, once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud," he said. "Nothing I can do. I could find a cure to the most devastating disease — a disease that would wipe out entire nations, or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded, and these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won’t do it no matter what."
It has gone beyond political differences at this point--they hate the man himself because he has been able to take away their power and is now dismantling through DOGE and budget cuts their gravy train of billions of dollars funneled to their supporters and patrons.
This is further undercutting their power, so Trump is effectively killing two birds with one stone.
He's saving money that would have been spent by the government and added to the deficit, at the same time he is destroying long-time leftist subsidies that have been within the government even when Republicans were in power and helped them have an unfair advantage in elections.
During an appearance on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures," Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow addressed the phenomenon of Democrat-tied judges blocking President Donald Trump's agenda, calling it a "national disgrace" and saying the rules regarding "judge-shopping" need to change.
Host Maria Bartiromo asked Marlow whether it was a coincidence that Federal Judge James Boasberg has gotten four cases involving the president.
Marlow answered, “Of course not. It’s not a coincidence, Maria, what’s going on is judge shopping. This is a practice that’s been in play since 1988 when Congress changed laws so that you don’t have to have any connection to the jurisdiction where you’re filing cases."
He called the numerous cases against Trump and the administration seeking injunctions to stop their actions an attempted "judicial coup."
"The Democrats have figured this out, their lawfare machine which is very well funded, very well organized, and they’re targeting specific judges to try to have a judicial coup against the President of the United States.”
So far, judges have blocked Trump's executive actions 15 times on a nationwide level, more than during the entire administration of his predecessor, Joe Biden.
Judges have ordered planes carrying imprisoned illegal immigrants to turn around in the sky, prevented Trump from cutting staff or firing people at various government agencies, and stopped various budget cuts suggested by DOGE but implemented by agency heads.
“It is now the point now where Donald Trump, if he wants an executive action, he needs unanimous consent from 700 odd judges essentially," Marlow pointed out.
In other words, all Democrats need to do is find a sympathetic judge on the opposite side of the aisle politically, and they can block whatever Trump is trying to do with an emergency injunction, then tie up the action for months or years while the lawsuit plays out.
"This is tyranny, but unfortunately there’s no quick way to stop it," Marlow said.
He suggested a rules change that would disallow judge-shopping or block injunctions from being effective nation-wide rather than only in the jurisdiction where the case was filed.
"We need to change these rules right away. They’re targeting these judges and it’s blocking just about every element of the agenda from what DOGE is doing to DEI to rolling back some of the trans stuff to deregulation to trying to deport illegally child molesters," he concluded. "They can’t do any of it unless all these judges sign on to it which they’re not."
Instead of ruling fairly, the judges are bending to the will of partisans and using the law to do things it was not intended to do, like thwart the will of the voters by blocking the agenda of the president they elected.
"They’re Democratic-tied. You all know what’s going on. This is truly a national disgrace,” Marlow said.
An actress who once played a police officer on TV is now a suspect in a real-life case.
The one-time star of 1990s and early 2000s TV show "NYPD Blue" Kim Delaney was arrested on Saturday for charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon after a dispute with husband James Morgan turned physical.
Police were called to respond to a domestic disturbance at Delaney's residence on Saturday morning and arrested both partners after investigating. Morgan was charged with battery in the incident.
According to TMZ, paramedics also responded to check whether injuries had resulted, but both were medically cleared at the scene.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Delaney is still in custody, while Morgan posted $20,000 bail on Saturday.
Besides "NYPD Blue," Delaney also appeared in "CSI Miami," "Philly," "Army Wives," "The OC," and the soap opera, "All My Children."
For her portrayal of Detective Diane Russell in "NYPD Blue," she was awarded a 1997 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
It isn't her first time on the other side of the thin blue line; she was arrested in 2002 in Malibu for drunk driving and spent time in rehab for alcohol abuse the next year.
In 2024, a motorcyclist sued Delaney for allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident in L.A.
Morgan and Delaney celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October.
At the time, Delaney captioned a photo of Morgan hugging her, “A beautiful 2nd wedding anniversary!!! 10/11. And now anniversary weekend! Great memories! I love you, hubby-your wife for life.”
Just two weeks ago, Delaney posted a cozy social media photo of the two cuddled up together with the caption: "Pure love."
While it's possible that this is the first time the couple's interactions have turned physical, that's not usually the case by the time law enforcement gets involved.
It wasn't clear whether Delaney was defending herself against Morgan or whether she was the aggressor. She is likely still detained because of her prior criminal history and the seriousness of the charge against her.
Even before he assumed the role of secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was more than clear about the transformation he hoped to see at the agency he now leads.
The strong, sometimes controversial positions Kennedy has taken on issues ranging from food additives to vaccines have caused no end of concern among the D.C. establishment, and they have reportedly now led to the departure of Dr. Peter Marks from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as Fox News reports.
Fox News cited a report in the Wall Street Journal claiming that due to his disagreement with Kennedy, particularly on matters related to vaccines, Marks, currently serving as director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, was given the option of either resigning from his role or being fired from it.
Specifically, Marks took issue with Kennedy's outspoken positions on vaccine safety, including what he believes are the HHS head's dangerous views.
A resignation letter reportedly submitted by Marks did little to quell rumors of a fundamental – and apparently intractable -- conflict with his new boss.
“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” the letter states.
The resignation of Marks, who served as a key figure in the first Trump administration's COVID-19 vaccine development program known as Operation Warp Speed, will become effective on April 5.
Reacting to the impending departure of Marks from the FDA was Dr. Paul Offit, a noted vaccine expert working at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Offit was clear in his belief that Marks was wrongfully forced out of a job by Kennedy and that his ouster represents a significant loss for the agency, as the Associated Press reports.
“RFK Jr.'s firing of Peter Marks because he wouldn't bend a knee to his misinformation campaign now allows the fox to guard the hen house. It's a sad day for America's children,” Offit lamented.
Also reacting to the news was former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, who said that Marks' resignation letter itself “should be frightening to anyone committed to the importance of evidence to guide policies and patient decisions.”
Califf continued, “I hope this will intensify the communication across academia, industry and government to bolster the importance of science and evidence.”
Despite his critics, Kennedy is moving full steam ahead on reforming HHS, as The Hill notes, standing in support of the Trump administration's recently announced decision to cut 10,000 jobs at the agency as he works to fulfill the promise to attack America's illness epidemic.
“We're not cutting front-line workers, we're cutting administrators, and we're consolidating the agency to make it more efficient,” Kennedy said on Thursday,” adding that his goal is to “focus the mission so that everybody who is at HHS is going to wake up every morning and say, 'What am I going to do today to Make America Healthy Again,'” and that is a position with which millions can get on board.
President Donald Trump has made no secret of his intention to deport non-citizens engaged in illegal activity or those who support or promote terrorist organizations.
Not surprisingly, however, the Trump administration has encountered obstacles erected by federal district court judges who are increasingly asserting a controversial degree of authority over the executive branch, as evidenced by a Friday ruling preventing the deportation of a Tufts University graduate student, as Fox News reports.
At issue late last week was the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, an international student from Turkey living in Somerville, Massachusetts, who was detained by federal authorities near her off-campus apartment.
A representative from the Department of Homeland Security asserted that Ozturk has been “engaged in activities in support of Hamas,” and according to Fox News, she co-authored an op-ed piece last year in the Tufts Daily blasting the school's stance on Israel's actions in Gaza.
Ozturk and her co-authors demanded that Tufts “acknowledge the Palestinian genocide” and adjust its financial affairs based on other entities' ties to the Jewish state.
After her arrest, Ozturk was taken to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center, presumably in preparation for eventual deportation, a move her attorneys said was improper due to her status as a F-1 visa holder with no pending criminal charges.
U.S. District Judge Denise Casper halted any deportation plans, saying, “To allow the Court's resolution of its jurisdiction to decide the petition, Ozturk shall not be removed from the United States until further order of this court,” referencing an updated complaint filed by the student's attorneys to which the government has until Tuesday to file a response.
It was in January that Trump signed an executive order mandating the revocation of student visas for those advocating in support of Hamas.
The order came in response to what the president said was an “unprecedented wave of vile, antisemitic discrimination, vandalism, and violence against our citizens, especially in our schools and on our campuses.”
As NBC News reports, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated that several hundred student visas have already been pulled as a result of the executive order.
“It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,” Rubio said.
Rubio also opined, “We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to be a social activist that comes in and tears up our university campuses. If you invite me into your home because I say, 'Oh, I want to go to your house for dinner,' and I come into your house and I start putting mud on your couch and spray-painting your kitchen, I bet you you're going to kick me out.”
While Ozturk's case continues its journey in the courts, another high-profile matter involving Columbia University protest leader and alleged Hamas supporter Mahmoud Khalil is making headlines after the activist was detained over two weeks ago by ICE agents.
During a hearing on Friday, U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz ruled that Khalil will remain in the aforementioned Louisiana ICE facility for the time being amid unsettled jurisdictional arguments, leaving the fate of his and several other similar cases uncertain as complex legal wrangling appears poised to continue.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is being criticized for bringing his wife to two meetings with foreign military officials.
Hegseth's wife, Jennifer Hegseth, was seen in photos during his March 6 meeting with his U.K. defense counterpart. This started a fury among left-wing media, which began complaining about Hegseth's wife attending the meeting.
Hegseth, as Defense Secretary, is allowed to invite whomever he wants to his meetings. It's typical for meeting attendees to be a "need to know" status, but that is a decision that is ultimately up to the Defense Secretary.
That hasn't stopped the mainstream media from attempting to generate yet another hoax of a story about security protocols.
Just last week, leftist outlet The Atlantic attempted to push a story that U.S. war plans were leaked in a Signal chat. Turns out the chat, involving Hegseth and other key Trump administration members, contained no detailed information, and The Atlantic was forced to correct the story.
The mainstream media has been gunning for Hegseth ever since President Donald Trump announced his nomination as Defense Secretary.
First, there was a false accusation of sexual assault that the mainstream media didn't bother to fact-check. After accusing Hegseth of sexual assault in 2017, it emerged that Hegseth was the real victim who had been assaulted.
When that story failed to stop Hegseth's confirmation, the mainstream leftist media began pushing unfounded stories that Hegseth was an abusive alcoholic who was a danger to his family. Now, the mainstream media is complaining about Hegseth's wife being at meetings with foreign dignitaries.
It didn't take long for former Obama official Chuck Hagel to complain about Jennifer Hegseth's presence at meetings by saying, "When you have meetings with ministers or high-level NATO officials, those meetings almost always include sensitive security conversations. If you are going to discuss top secret, national security issues, you have to be very selective. What’s the relevancy of the person you are inviting?"
Of course, there was no evidence that sensitive material was discussed, and there is nothing indicating that Hegseth was breaking security protocols by having his wife in attendance.
Like the other stories targeting Hegseth and other Trump officials, there is no substantive issue outside of wild speculation by leftist partisans and establishment figures.
The Trump administration is extremely popular with the American people thanks to aggressive foreign policy and thorough domestic policies.
This has forced a desperate mainstream media to grasp at straws to attack the Trump administration. From the Signal story to this latest story about Hegseth's wife, the desperation of the mainstream media is apparent.
This will only get worse in the coming months as the Trump administration continues to succeed, especially on contentious foreign policy issues.
The former Biden administration recently faced scrutiny over delaying the disclosure of a report that concluded the establishment of additional U.S. LNG export terminals did not significantly affect greenhouse gas emissions or energy prices, Fox News reported. The decision to hold back this information sparked criticism from members of Congress and former Trump administration officials, further intensifying the ongoing debate over U.S. energy policy.
This report, finalized by September 2023, and titled "Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports," was not made public until after the December 2024 presidential election, casting doubt on the administration's motivations for withholding the findings.
The report was a collaborative effort between U.S. Energy Department scientists and federal contractors, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the implications of U.S. LNG exports.
Despite the report's availability, its findings remained concealed until the final month of 2024. During this period, tensions in energy policy discussions were heightened, primarily due to the Biden administration's public assertions that LNG exports would elevate consumer prices and contribute to environmental degradation.
This narrative was further complicated in January 2024, when President Biden announced a temporary halt on new U.S. LNG export terminals. This move, intended to address climate activists' demands, contrasted with the report's conclusions that downplayed negative environmental and economic impacts. Key figures from the previous administration, including former Trump officials, accused Biden's team of intentionally keeping Congress and the public in the dark about the report's content.
The House Oversight Committee became actively involved by March 2024, pursuing the report's details. The delayed release added fuel to the fire of these tensions, highlighting discrepancies between governmental claims and scientific data. When GAO court filings in September 2024 acknowledged that the Department of Energy had researched LNG exports since 2023, it underscored the depth of the issue.
Reports suggest that the Biden administration's decision to withhold the findings until late 2024 was an attempt to mollify climate-focused factions within the Democratic Party. During Biden's presidency, LNG exports surged to record levels, propelling the U.S. to become a global energy leader amidst rising European demand.
However, not all voices within the administration supported this trend. Progressive lawmakers like Sen. Jeff Merkley expressed unequivocal opposition to the expansive LNG export volume, advocating for more environmental consideration. This internal friction further complicated the administration's position on energy policy.
According to various testimonies, a significant factor in the administration's decision-making process was the need to reconcile with environmentally conscious constituents. The Biden team was strategizing to scale back LNG exports while navigating the political landscape influenced by rising environmental activism.
In December 2024, another report issued by the Biden administration forecasted a potential 30% increase in consumer prices due to LNG export expansion, thereby compounding the backlash. Critics argued that this was inconsistent with the conclusions of the earlier unpublished report, portraying the administration's stance as problematic.
Opinions from former officials reflected deep disapproval of the administration's handling of the report's dissemination. There were assertions of political maneuvering intended to "undermine American-made energy production" and appease environmental groups, contrary to the scientific evidence presented.
One notable voice, Chairman James Comer of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, vocalized these concerns sharply. He criticized the administration for undermining the process and failing to provide transparency to the American people and their representatives.
The case exemplifies the delicate balance of political interests, scientific research, and public transparency. With the report's findings now public, the conversation surrounding the future of U.S. LNG exports and environmental policy remains as contentious as ever.
As the Biden administration navigates these complexities, these debates underscore the broader implications for U.S. energy strategy and environmental management. The intersection of policy, science, and political agendas continues to shape the ongoing dialogue at the national and international levels.
