'Texas BBQ spots are shutting down' as Trump's war contributes to beef shortages: report

Texas barbecue restaurants are closing at an alarming rate as beef prices surge to historic levels — and economists say the Iran war is one of the factors making it worse.

The U.S. cattle supply has dropped to a 75-year low, according to the Department of Agriculture, sending beef prices soaring and forcing beloved Texas institutions out of business. Closures have already hit Kirby's BBQ in New Caney and Brett's BBQ Shop in Katy, and industry leaders say many more are coming, according to an ABC News report published this week.

'We're cooked': RFK Jr.'s work disengagement alarms experts as Ebola outbreak spreads

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly arrives at the Department of Health and Human Services around 10 a.m., leaves by 4 p.m., spends staff meetings scrolling on his phone, and once apologized to colleagues for his "dysfunctional self" — and that's just the management style. The vacancies are a separate problem.

A sweeping New York Times investigation published Sunday by reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg, based on accounts from a dozen people with direct contact with Kennedy, paints a portrait of a health secretary deeply disengaged from the department he runs while an Ebola outbreak spreads and critical positions sit empty.

Military vet files federal lawsuit to stop 'deeply corrupt' White House UFC plan

A Virginia political organizer and a military veteran filed a federal lawsuit Sunday seeking a court order to halt UFC Freedom 250, the upcoming mixed martial arts event planned for the White House South Lawn and Lincoln Memorial on June 14 — a date that is simultaneously the 250th anniversary of American independence and Donald Trump's 80th birthday.

The suit, reported by CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane, calls the arrangement a corrupt transfer of public resources to a private business ally. "This plan is deeply corrupt," the complaint states. "The President is giving White and his company what none have enjoyed before: unfettered access to the White House and Lincoln Memorial to stage a private, for-profit sports event, with all the promotional and branding opportunities that accompany such access."

Major issue flagged as new Epstein investigation kicks off: 'Fox guarding the henhouse'

While a New Mexico legislative committee began its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling compound known as Zorro Ranch last week, one veteran journalist warned that the effort is analogous to “the fox guarding the henhouse,” flagging what they described as a major “conflict of interest.”

Established in February by the New Mexico Legislature, the New Mexico Truth Commission was afforded $2 million in spending and granted subpoena power to investigate the potential criminal activity at Epstein’s New Mexico property, the site of which multiple women have claimed to have been sexually abused as minors.

JD Vance triggers backlash — including from fellow Republican — by 'exploiting' death

Vice President JD Vance used the murder of an 18-year-old British student to deliver a sweeping attack on European immigration policy, drawing sharp criticism from across the political spectrum — including from a Republican who noted that Vance's own wife is of South Asian descent and that the killer was British.

Henry Nowak, a finance student, was stabbed five times by Vickrum Digwa in Southampton, England in December 2025. Digwa, a British citizen, was convicted of murder on May 28 and sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years. The case drew widespread outrage in Britain after police handcuffed Nowak as he lay dying from his wounds, despite him telling officers nine times "I can't breathe" and four times that he had been stabbed.

Rep. Lauren Boebert had a blunt message for a Fox News Digital reporter who asked her about affair allegations Saturday: "F--- you, first of all."

Even Elon Musk in disbelief over 'unprecedented' GOP proposal: 'Is this accurate?'

Tesla CEO and Trump administration ally Elon Musk expressed disbelief Saturday regarding a GOP proposal to reshape the U.S. military in an “unprecedented” fashion, going as far as to flag his own generative artificial intelligence chatbot for verification.

“Congress is hiding the U.S.-Israel military relationship in the defense bill,” wrote Democratic congressional candidate Ethan Wechtaluk in a social media post on X. “There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to.”
