Firefighters are still battling the blazes in the greater Los Angeles area, where wildfires have killed at least 27 people, destroyed thousands of structures, and charred more than 60 square miles. Both the Palisades and Eaton wildfires continue to burn and thousands of people remain...

A Georgia state senator has had his ban from entering the state House chamber revoked following an ugly incident on Thursday which saw him flung to the floor, arrested and subsequently hospitalized.

State Sen. Colton Moore, a hardline supporter of President-elect Trump who previously tried to have Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis impeached for indicting the former president, was involved in a heated exchange at the entrance to the House chamber where officials refused him entry to attend Gov. Brian Kemp's State of the State Address...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is fighting to uphold a Texas law he says is keeping the pornography industry from targeting children with harmful content.

Passed in 2023 and signed into law by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the law requires porn sites to verify users’ ages through official documentation such as a driver’s license or government-issued I.D. Under the law, failure to implement this age verification results in fines.

Meanwhile, a collection of porn sites calling itself the Free Speech Coalition argues that the Texas law curbs their...

At least 30 people have been injured when a ski lift failed in northern Spain, 17 of them seriously.

On the afternoon of April 30, 1789, George Washington was sworn in as the first president of the United States.

Since Washington took his oath of office, Inauguration Day has continued to be an important day in American tradition. But the event looks much different than it did back then.

Perhaps the most notable difference between Washington's inauguration and more modern ones is the location. Washington, D.C., wasn't established as the nation's capital until 1790 — the year after Washington became the nation's first president. Instead...

President-elect Donald Trump told NBC News' "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker in a phone interview Saturday that he will "most likely" give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a potential ban in the U.S. after he takes office Monday.

Trump said he hadn't made a final decision but was considering a 90-day extension of the Sunday deadline for TikTok's China-based parent company to sell to a non-Chinese-buyer or face a U.S. ban.

"I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely...

As part of President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation plans, ICE will carry out raids starting on Tuesday, sources briefed on the plans told ABC News.

President-elect Donald Trump launched his own cryptocurrency on Friday, sparking a feverish buying that apparently sent its market capitalization soaring to several billion dollars.

In a message posted on his Truth Social platform and X, Trump unveiled the so-called meme coin, which is designed to capitalize on the popularity of a certain personality, movement or viral internet trend.

"My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE! It's time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!" he wrote.

Meme coins have no economic or transactional value and are...

Donald Trump’s first inauguration was marked by riots in the streets of Washington and spurred global counterprotests that included millions, including what was estimated to be the largest single-day of protest in U.S. history. The turnout set the stage for four years of vociferous demonstrations against a president whose victory was seen as a fluke.

This year, ahead of Trump’s second inauguration, which falls on Monday’s Martin Luther King Day holiday, thousands are expected to turn out at demonstrations to honor King and protest Trump. But their...

Ronald Reagan probably didn't realize he was starting a tradition when he wrote a note congratulating his successor and left it in the Oval Office desk drawer after two terms as president.

He did that for George H.W. Bush, his successor and vice president of eight years. Bush did the same for Bill Clinton, who left a note for Bush's son, George W. The younger Bush left behind written words for Barack Obama, who later put pen to paper for Donald Trump.

Trump curiously continued this rite of presidential passage by writing a letter to Joe Biden, even...

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) debarred EcoHealth Alliance Inc. and its former President Dr. Peter Daszak, formally blocking both the firm and the doctor from receiving federal funds for five years. EcoHealth allegedly failed to report dangerous gain-of-function experiments to the government, which eventually led to the debarment. In the notice of debarment for Daszak, an HHS official wrote that the actions taken were "necessary" to protect US government business interests.

Californians may have a "reawakening" that could trigger a "political shock" among the nation's top decision-makers after the state's highly criticized response to the Los Angeles wildfires brought to light the state's vulnerability and leadership failures, historian Victor Davis Hanson predicts.

"So, there is a group of people in California that could fuel a revolt of liberals or Democrats," Hanson, a Hoover Institution public policy think tank senior fellow, told Fox News Digital in an interview.

That group of people could include the wealthy on...
