A Connecticut congresswoman’s pronouncement on the House floor officially declaring that New Haven is the nation's pizza capital led to some light-hearted objections from lawmakers in other popular pie locales last week.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., announced on the House floor that for several reasons, New Haven – the state’s second-largest city – is thereby recognized as "the Pizza Capital of the United States."

Denver officials recently released a "how to guide" to help other cities across the country splash taxpayer cash on housing, health care and other services for migrants.

The U.S. was forced to suspend the delivery of aid to its temporary "floating pier" on the coast of Gaza on Tuesday after rough weather caused the structure to break apart.

Four vessels that had stabilized the pier broke off due to choppy waters earlier this week, but officials said the pier was still operational. That is no longer the case as of Tuesday, officials confirmed to Fox News Digital. The U.S. did not offer a timeline for how long repairs would take.

A U.N. official said the repairs would take at least a week, however, according to NBC...

It is unclear when the US military's floating pier off Gaza's coast will resume operations.

The Ukrainian president says his US counterpart's absence would "only be applauded by Putin".

The three European nations aim to refocus attention on finding a political solution to the Gaza war.

The man convicted in the 2022 hammer attack on Paul Pelosi apologized and was again sentenced to 30 years in prison Tuesday, as the sentencing hearing in his case was reopened due to a court error.

David DePape received the sentence, identical to the one he received earlier this month, after being found guilty of assaulting the husband of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi in their San Francisco home. DePape was convicted of assault and attempted kidnapping charges in November.

The hearing was reopened after the judge overseeing the trial made an error...

The DNC will move to conduct virtual party proceedings to certify President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominees.

El Paso, Texas — In an interview with CBS News, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said some migrants coming to the U.S.-Mexico border are trying to "game" the U.S. asylum system, echoing a statement often made by Republicans but rarely expressed by Biden administration officials.
