Kimi Antonelli says both he and Mercedes team-mate George Russell were "lucky not to crash" in the Canadian Grand Prix sprint race.

US Army hits 2026 recruiting goals four months early, Pete Hegseth announces at West Point commencement
The United States Army reached its recruiting goals for 2026 four months early, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth revealed during a Saturday commencement speech at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.
"Recruitments are up across the joint force, and I'm pleased to announce that just two days ago, the U.S. Army met its 2026 recruiting goals four months early," Hegseth said.
"A second record year in a row. That means you're about to train this group right here and lead 61,500 new soldiers. And next year, when we grow the size of the army, it will be even more when you're out there in your formations as platoon leaders at the tip of the spear, you will be at the tip of the spear of their snapback," he continued.
In 2025, the Army set a goal of 61,000 and exceeded it with 62,050, according to the Pentagon.
DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH REVEALS WHY MILITARY RECRUITMENT HAS SOARED UNDER TRUMP
"The men and women who chose to serve our nation are actively showing their commitment to something larger than themselves," Command Sgt. Maj. Danny Basham, United States Army Recruiting Division command sergeant major, said in a statement. "The nation depends on their strength, character and commitment."
During Hegseth's speech, the war secretary also criticized previous military policy of focusing on diversity goals and "anti-American ideologies."
"They embraced the DEI craze and tried to introduce diversity and inclusion studies, and they hired professors who advocated for anti-American ideologies right here in these halls. But no more. West Point is set apart. It's special. It's above politics. Success here is based on merit. It's how you perform that matters. This is the United States Military Academy," he said.
WEST POINT DISBANDS GENDER-BASED, RACE CLUBS IN TRUMP'S DEI SWEEP
"The single dumbest phrase in military history was peddled in our army only a few short years ago. You've all heard it, maybe in your first two years at West Point. Our diversity is our strength. The single dumbest phrase in military history," he said.
"We had generals saying this with a straight face on national television. It was absolute nonsense. Now, these sorts of silly things can be laughed at when they occur in a civilian lounge or civilian faculty lounge, or debated in graduate seminars, but they cannot be tolerated in our formations. These ideas are what get people killed. Diversity is not our strength. Unity is our strength," Hegseth said, garnering applause.
He continued to praise the graduating cadets and painted a picture of a dangerous world confronting them.
HEGSETH VOWS TO REBUILD MILITARY DETERRENCE SO ENEMIES 'DON'T WANT TO F--- WITH US'
"You're in a dangerous line of work, and there is no world in which high intensity conflict exists without great pain, agony, sickness, and human tragedy. In this War Department, we raise up warriors. Purpose built, not for good weather, blue skies or fancy parades. We're built to load up on the back of helicopters, C-17s or Strykers in the dead of night, in fair weather or foul, to go to dangerous places, to engage those who would do our nation and our citizens harm and deliver justice in close and brutal combat on behalf of the American people," he continued.
"But what makes us different is that we don't fight because we hate what's in front of us. We fight because we love what's behind us. Our family, our freedom and our flag. The battlefield does not grade on a curve, and you can't throw your pronouns at the enemy. Combat is the ultimate test, and our best Americans must ace it," Hegseth said.
Hegseth's speech touched heavily upon faith as he read a verse from Isaiah 6:8. "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying 'whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' and I said 'Here I am! Send me,'" Hegseth read.
"Send me is the timeless, selfless call to service," he said.
He also invoked Charlie Kirk while imploring the cadets to seek God always.
"As Charlie Kirk often said, 'Remember always, this too shall pass.' The good times will pass. The bad times will pass. You're never as good as you think you are, nor are you as bad as you think you are. Seek God in every circumstance," he said.
Hegseth delivered his speech Saturday as the U.S. considering resuming fresh military actions against Iran as a peace deal hangs in the balance. The war secretary discussed what was asked of the U.S. military during Operation Epic Fury.
"Your soldiers must be ready for anything because the world is only getting more complex. Just look at what our soldiers have done in just the last few months alone, we've asked our airborne and rapid reaction forces to deploy at a moment's notice to the Middle East, standing as an iron shield to protect American bases and American lives from Iranian proxies. This includes American Army units using HIMARS to help sink the Iranian Navy. I know the Army loves sinking the Navy. That's the only name navy you're currently allowed to sink," Hegseth joked, referencing the known friendly rivalry between the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy.
President Donald Trump is holding a conference call on Saturday afternoon with Arab leaders to get their opinions on a draft agreement with Iran. The president reportedly told Axios earlier Saturday he's a "solid 50/50" on whether a "good" deal could be reached or else "blow them to kingdom come."

Time Magazine cover on Graham Platner raises eyebrows online
Time magazine is drawing criticism for its cover story on controversial Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner.
Time's upcoming June 8 issue features a photo of Platner, a Democrat running in Maine's Senate primary, on its new cover with the headline, "Party Crasher: The rise of scandal-plagued Democrat Graham Platner."
In a post to X, Time wrote, "TIME’s new cover: Even in this antiestablishment political moment, Graham Platner’s rise has been remarkable. His candidacy is forcing the party to come to terms with what it’s willing to risk in exchange for a fighter."
Platner has faced several controversies including revelations he had a tattoo widely recognized as a Nazi symbol. In newly surfaced deleted posts attributed to Platner's previous Reddit account, he also allegedly made vulgar sexual comments, described himself as a "communist" and "socialist" and mocked a Purple Heart U.S. soldier that was nearly killed in combat.
WARREN CONFRONTED ON CALLING CONTROVERSIAL SENATE CANDIDATE GRAHAM PLATNER HER 'KIND OF MAN'
Time's article characterized the candidate as an unpolished outsider that Democratic voters are looking to make their "new national star."
The article also describes the newcomer as "carrying enough baggage to sink an oyster boat: a Nazi tattoo, a DUI from a post-military period of heavy drinking, and a trove of Reddit posts that spewed hostility in almost every direction."
However, the magazine cover and caption attracted scrutiny from conservatives on X after Time posted the story on Thursday.
DEMOCRATIC MAINE SENATE CANDIDATE GRAHAM PLATNER CONFRONTED BY MS NOW HOST ABOUT TATTOO CONTROVERSY
"So Donald Trump was Hitler, and all of us nazis, for a rally at Madison Square Garden. But the far left candidate with a Nazi tattoo is celebrated," Elizabeth Pipko, a former Trump campaign spokesperson, reacted on X, adding, "You don’t hate the media enough."
"Not the first time a guy sporting a Totenkopf has appeared on the cover of Time Magazine," conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller wrote.
Several other X users also alluded to Time infamously naming Adolf Hitler as its "Man of the Year" for 1938.

"Just perfection, guys…" Fox News contributor Joe Concha added.
Time and Platner did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Platner became the Democrats' presumptive nominee after his rival for the nomination, two-term Gov. Janet Mills, ended her campaign last month after trailing Platner in polling and fundraising.
If he wins the June primary, Platner will attempt to defeat five-term incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins this fall in a closely watched race that could have a significant impact on the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.

Dillon Brooks trolls Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping with knock-off "Operation" Game
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard and back-to-back MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a flopper. That’s a fact, just as the sky is blue.
Doris Burke has called him a "free throw merchant" on a broadcast, ESPN’s Jay Williams is going viral ahead of Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder for saying there’s "too much foul-baiting" when he watches the Thunder. Online discourse is littered with disgust in the way SGA manipulates the system that refuses to hold him accountable for it, but no one has highlighted SGA’s flopping as humorously as NBA bad boy and Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks.
In partnership with Underdog, a popular daily fantasy sports (DFS) and pick'em betting platform, Brooks revealed a one-of-a-kind board game poking fun at SGA. The game is a knock-off of the classic, popular game called "Operation" where players use tweezers to extract silly, plastic "ailments" like a "cranky knee" or "headphone headache" from a patient nicknamed Cavity Sam. The goal is to remove the pieces without touching the metal edges, which triggers a buzzer and a flashing red nose. This time, Brooks, who introduced himself in the promotional video as "The Villain", showcased the game titled "Unethical Hoops," which featured an SGA lookalike cartoon basketball player with a subtitle that states, "Don’t get baited. Steal the ball without getting whistled."
The ball is placed by different parts of SGA’s body with clever nicknames such as, "Head Snap" obviously by his head trolling the fact that he whips his head around defenders to draw fouls, "Hook and Cook" by his ball dominated arm, "Phantom Contact" on his right leg, and more.
FLOPPING IS RUINING THE NBA AND LEBRON SHOULD TAKE SOME BLAME FOR THAT
Brooks, whether you like him or not, and I’m guessing most of you are not fond of the man, plays the villain role well. He knows his role and his reputation. He leans into it by doing things such as sitting on the baseline of Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder just to see LeBron James and the Lakers get swept. Plus, this move by Brooks is extra bold when you realize that these two players are on the Canadian National Team together.
As for SGA’s flopping, Yahoo Sports’ Tom Haberstroh did a deep dive into "every shot Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken this postseason and tracked how often he fell," in his recent article titled, "every shot Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken this postseason and tracked how often he fell." His research, in response to a viral video of SGA in Game 2 of the WCF, was just what you’d expect. No one falls in this year’s playoffs on non-fouled, fouled and all shots combined than SGA. He falls over 17% of the time on all shots and over 51% on called foul shots, which is drastically more than his fellow foul-baiter of the Cleveland Cavaliers, James Harden.
"Unethical Hoops" is a part of an Underdog promotion where users can enter for a chance to win through their app. The promotional website UnethicalHoops.com states that only 100 games are made, which makes this a highly sought-after collector's item. The winners of the giveaway will be announced May 29.
The Thunder and MVP Gilgeous-Alexander take on the Spurs Friday night for Game 3 in San Antonio with the series locked at 1-1.

RNC legal victory clears North Carolina voter roll purge of noncitizens through jury responses
The state of North Carolina now must remove noncitizens excused from jury duty from voter rolls, Fox News Digital has learned Thursday.
The Republican National Committee and North Carolina Republican Party say they secured a consent judgment requiring the North Carolina State Board of Elections to use jury-duty records to identify registered voters who have acknowledged they are not U.S. citizens.
Those noncitizens will have to be removed from voter rolls, a significant legal victory in forcing a state to purge its voter rolls amid strong Democrat opposition.
"This agreement is a major win for election integrity in North Carolina," RNC Chairman Joe Gruters told Fox News Digital in a statement. "It’s straightforward: if someone admits they’re not a U.S. citizen during jury duty, that information should be used to check the voter rolls and remove anyone who doesn’t belong."
OBAMA-APPOINTED JUDGE REVERSES COURSE, RULES VOTER ID LAW ISN'T DISCRIMINATORY IN GOP WIN
The agreement was accepted by Superior Court Judge Jennifer Bedford after an 19-minute online hearing Wednesday.
"This type of information, I think the General Assembly has made somewhat clear, should not fall on deaf ears," Bedford said, The Carolina Journal reported, adding that information submitted to the court system should also be recognized by other agencies.
The agreement sets a schedule through 2028 for clerks to send the information to the elections board. Within 30 days of receiving it, the board must review voter-registration and citizenship status, send county elections boards reports on any registered voters identified, and refer cases to the State Bureau of Investigation and district attorneys if a person appears to have voted before becoming a U.S. citizen.
DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE AS 73,000 NORTH CAROLINA VOTERS WITHOUT PROPER ID STAY ON ROLLS
Two groups represented by the Elias Law Group, North Carolina Asian Americans Together and El Pueblo, objected to part of the deal requiring the list of people who claimed noncitizenship for jury-duty purposes to be posted on the state elections board’s FTP website.
Their attorney argued that publishing the information online could raise privacy concerns and have a chilling effect, even if the records are public under state law.
The agreement stems from a lawsuit the GOP groups filed in 2024, accusing the state board of failing to comply with a North Carolina law requiring clerks of court to report people who seek to be excused from jury service by saying they are not citizens.
TRUMP ELECTION INTEGRITY PUSH EXPOSES MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DEAD PEOPLE ON NORTH CAROLINA VOTER ROLLS
Under state law, noncitizens are barred from voting in state elections and from serving on juries, but that did not stop then-Gov. Roy Cooper from vetoing a bill in 2019 that would remove illegal immigrants from voter rolls.
The consent judgment, if approved by the court, would require the state's elections board to review information received from county clerks, determine whether those individuals appear on the voter rolls and begin removal procedures for anyone found to be ineligible.
The RNC said it filed a public-records request in 2024 seeking to determine whether the board was complying with the law but did not receive a response.
The RNC and the state GOP later sued, and the board agreed to use the jury-duty information as part of voter-roll maintenance, according to the RNC.
A majority of North Carolina — 83% of Republicans, 59% of Independents and 52% of Democrats – support states removing noncitizens from voter registration rolls, according to Heritage Action polling.
The case is part of a broader Republican legal push focused on voter eligibility and citizenship requirements.
The RNC is involved in litigation defending President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring documentary proof of citizenship, and has also asked the Supreme Court to take up a case involving Arizona’s proof-of-citizenship law.

Bob Woodson taught me America’s wounds heal only through truth and courage
One thing that is often overlooked, or simply not understood, is how hard a fate it was to be born into a segregated America and then come of age just as the country began to reckon with its racial horrors in the 1960s. For centuries, Blacks had been slaves and then segregated, always divorced from the full rights promised by American principles. They built a world within America, a parallel civilization of churches, schools, businesses and communities forged out of necessity and extraordinary will. And then in the 1960s, one civil rights victory after another came. How does an oppressed people come into freedom, one of the hardest yet most rewarding conditions to live in? In that shock of freedom, which path is the right one forward?
That was the fate of Bob Woodson, who passed away on May 19, 2026, at 89 years old. He was born Robert Leon Woodson on April 8, 1937, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of a working-class family that knew both poverty and promise. His father died when he was still a boy, and Bob and his four siblings were raised by their mother in the housing projects of South and then West Philadelphia. He saw up close the damage that broken families, failing institutions, and street violence could do to a young life. At 17, he dropped out of high school and joined the Air Force, and began the long journey that would take him to college, graduate school and the front lines of the civil rights struggle.
Bob marched, organized and directed community development programs for the NAACP and other organizations. But the harder part may have come after the civil rights victories. It is often said that a victory gets you through the door where the real and hard work begins. Bob knew that better than most. He searched for the right path forward, working with the National Urban League, serving as a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, trying one organization after another. He found them all, in one way or another, inadequate. It wasn't until 1981, armed with little more than a $25,000 grant and two decades of hard-won experience, that he founded what would become his life's work: the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise. It later was renamed the Woodson Center.
15-YEAR-OLD BLACK TEEN'S MURDER REVEALS THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT WHITE GUILT IN AMERICA
What gave Bob his fire, his light, was his unwavering desire to connect every single one of his people to the American Dream. He used that phrase, "his people," freely and proudly, because he saw clearly what was being done to them. He believed they were being fed the bad ideas of dependency by Whites who wanted racial redemption for themselves more than they wanted Black development. The liberal welfare politics that followed the Civil Rights movement had, in Bob's view, trapped millions of low-income Blacks in a state of dependency, while enriching the elite class of professionals and politicians who managed their poverty. As he wrote in a 1995 essay in The New York Times, he had "spoken out against a liberal agenda that has trapped millions of low-income blacks in a state of dependency and used the conditions of poor blacks to establish race-based policies that benefit middle- and upper-income blacks."
At the same time, Bob sought to build bridges with Whites, but on the right terms. Not through guilt. Not through dependency. He sought to create that bridge through the American principles that he believed belonged to everyone equally. I attended several events with him over the years, and he had a ritual. He would look out at a room that often contained a smattering of Whites and then say with that mischievous wink: "I absolve every one of you. Not one of you is guilty. I absolve all of you of the racial sins of the past." People would laugh. But underneath that joke was a profound and deliberate act. Bob knew, as my father Shelby Steele has always argued, that the post-1960s Left had sought power by keeping Whites on the hook for the sins of the past, not to achieve justice, but to maintain political leverage. In doing so, they had engineered a permanent gap between Blacks and Whites. By offering the joke of an absolution, Bob was, on one hand, mocking the Left's efforts to guilt Whites, and on the other hand, inviting Whites to come down off the hook and join him as equal human beings, fallible, capable and responsible together for building something better.
Bob Woodson was a unifier in the most practical sense. He refused to allow himself to be corrupted by the racial politics that consumed so much of the post-Civil Rights era. What he wanted above all were solutions — on the ground, in communities, run by the people who lived there. The Woodson Center brought training and support to more than 2,600 leaders of faith-based and community organizations in 39 states, helping them secure more than 10 times the funding the center itself spent. These were not theoretical programs dreamt up by bureaucrats in Washington. They were answers forged by the people closest to the problems. And that was Bob’s secret sauce: help the right people closest to the problem, for they know the answer.
My father and Bob go way back to the 1980s. They were on television together several times. It even became a small joke in our house that if one couldn't make an appearance, the other would fill in. I met Bob for the first time around 2016 through our mutual friend Beth Feeley. One of the first things he told me was that he wanted to do a book or media series on the historical heroes of Black America. He wanted to exalt men and women like Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Robert Smalls, who had built, thrived and overcome against impossible odds.
He was sickened by what he saw as a narrative of victimhood that had taken hold of so many young Black minds. On one of our early calls he said something I will never forget: "How can you do that to children? It's abuse." He was right. A people cut off from their true heritage, a heritage of surviving, overcoming and thriving, is a people without a compass. The victimhood narrative was false, and it was poison. It benefited only the Black elites and White liberals who trafficked in it.
He soon launched that project that became 1776 Unites, and it was launched as a direct counter to The New York Times' 1619 Project. Where the 1619 Project sought to place slavery at the center of the American story and continue the legacy of racist America, the 1776 Unites project sought to correct the record of America’s founding, and it also told the stories of Blacks who became millionaires despite oppression, who built institutions, who refused to be defined by the oppression that had been done to them. Bob wanted to plant seeds of possibility in young minds and drive out the curse of fatalism.
My favorite memory of Bob is from Ferguson, Missouri, where we flew him out to be interviewed for "What Killed Michael Brown?" the documentary I made with my father. He met us in the hotel lobby wearing his brown suit and a fedora. His style was old school Black. He reminded me of the Blacks I saw growing up in San Francisco and Oakland during the 1980s. We took him to Canfield Drive, to the spot where Michael Brown had been shot. Bob paused, removed his fedora and said a prayer. Then we sat down for the interview. He had no filter. The gems came one after another and I remember thinking, how will I ever edit all of this?
The moment that has stayed with me was when he paused and said that if Michael Brown had valued his life, he would not have risked it, he would not have charged Officer Darren Wilson in a way that put his life in mortal danger. Bob said it with that slight, sad smile of his, a smile that held both the tragedy and the promise. The tragedy that a young man had made choices that put his life at terrible risk. The promise that by naming the truth plainly, Bob was pointing toward something better. He believed the power of truth would force change, that only by seeing the full horror of what had transpired could we begin a turn toward betterment. How do we bring value back to life? That was his question. It was always his question.
Bob Woodson is gone now. He was 89 years old, and he gave every one of those years to the fight. We will never see him and his fedora again. But his work remains unfinished, and it falls to us to carry it on. We must tell the true stories of America, warts and triumphs. We must never turn away from truth, no matter how horrifying. We must strive to show understanding and always reject the politics of dependency and victimhood. We must build on the ground, with the people who live there, and invite everyone, Black and White, to work together as equal human beings.
That was Bob's singular talent, and it is now his challenge to us. May God bless Robert L. Woodson Sr. May we have the strength to carry on his work.

‘Seattle can’t survive this’: Critics hammer socialist mayor after Starbucks reversal
Seattle's Democratic Mayor Katie Wilson’s sudden about-face on Starbucks is fueling fresh fears that progressive politics and anti-business rhetoric are driving jobs, investment and major employers out of deep-blue cities.
Wilson, who previously urged residents to boycott the Seattle-based coffee giant, admitted in an interview published Sunday that her comments "caused more harm than good" as criticism mounts over the city’s business climate and the company’s growing investment outside Washington state.
The socialist mayor’s reversal comes as the corporation pours $100 million into a major Tennessee expansion and plans thousands of new jobs there, reigniting concerns that companies are increasingly choosing lower-tax, business-friendly southern U.S. states for future growth.
BLUE-STATE TAX BURDEN FUELS AMERICANS FLEEING TO REPUBLICAN-LED SOUTHERN STATES
Critics quickly seized on the controversy as evidence Seattle’s leftist politics are becoming increasingly hostile to business.
"If Starbucks doesn’t leave Seattle, they’re stupid," Tim Young, a media fellow at The Heritage Foundation, wrote on X.
Young blasted Wilson to Fox News Digital, arguing the socialist mayor lacks the real-world experience needed to understand the economic consequences of anti-business policies and rhetoric.
"Mayor Wilson is what happens when a spoiled child whose parents have been there to correct for all their financial issues for years is put into a place of authority," Young said. "She has no concept of consequences for her actions, especially when dealing with other people’s money."
"Seattle, nor any other jurisdiction in the world, can survive someone with literally no relevant life or business experience to run it," he added.
SOCIALIST MAYOR-ELECT REVEALS WHY SHE EMBRACED HER PARENTS GIVING HER MONEY AS A 43-YEAR-OLD
Others framed Wilson’s walk back as a sign Seattle's progressive leaders are beginning to recognize the economic stakes surrounding major employers like Starbucks.
"Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson walks back Starbucks boycott as Nashville expansion raises the stakes," conservative commentator Jason Rantz wrote on X.
Conservative radio host Ari Hoffman blasted Seattle leaders in a post on X, writing that the city is "once again a national embarrassment."
"This time, thanks to Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson telling everyone to boycott Starbucks the day she gets elected, then Starbucks announces they are leaving, and when asked about capital flight, she says ‘bye’ and giggles," Hoffman wrote.
SEATTLE MAYOR LAUGHS OFF MILLIONAIRES LEAVING WASHINGTON STATE OVER PROGRESSIVE TAXES, WAVES 'BYE'
Another X user mocked Wilson’s reversal, writing: "Bahahahaha. I was mocked when I told everyone insiders were updating me corporate was planning on leaving if she was elected. Her arrogance and disdain just made them move quicker."
The user, a conservative account focused on the Pacific Northwest, added: "Again, Starbucks will be out of Seattle for good by the end of 2026. Yes."
Pollster Scott Rasmussen also weighed in on X, arguing Wilson’s comments reflect broader voter concerns over whether high taxes and anti-business rhetoric are driving wealthy residents and investment out of blue states.
Rasmussen pointed to polling showing 61% of voters believe it is bad for a state when wealthy residents leave for lower-tax states.
Starbucks unveiled plans for a massive corporate expansion in Nashville, Tenn., just as Democrats in Washington state enacted a controversial "millionaires tax."
Critics warn the tax, of which similar version have been enacted and proposed in other blue states, could accelerate the flight of jobs, investment and wealthy residents from Washington.
The measure was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson in March and was championed by progressives. Conservatives and business groups fiercely opposed the proposal, warning it could make Washington less competitive as companies increasingly grow in lower-tax Republican-led states.
As Wilson attempts to soften her rhetoric toward one of Seattle’s most recognizable companies, critics warn the controversy could become a broader cautionary tale for blue states struggling to balance progressive politics with economic growth.
