MICHAEL RUIZ: JonBenet Ramsey investigators are retesting evidence with newer technology, police chief says
Investigators in Boulder are retesting decades-old evidence in the murder of JonBenet Ramsey as her family nears 30 years since the unsolved slaying in their former Colorado home.
"Chief [Steve] Redfearn and I are more hopeful now than we have been in the past because of the advances in the investigation and the advances in technology," Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty told reporters in a news briefing this week. "And I say that based on just how DNA has progressed over time."
Her father, John Ramsey, had spent years begging authorities to attempt to solve the case through investigative genetic genealogy, a relatively new technique for ginning up DNA leads that involves combining genetic testing results with genealogy research to identify potential persons of interest. IGG itself is rapidly evolving as state-of-the-art DNA testing also improves.
JONBENET RAMSEY'S FATHER ASKS TRUMP FOR HELP IN DAUGHTER'S UNSOLVED MURDER CASE
A cold case review panel was convened in Boulder as local police, state and federal investigators continue to dig into what happened on Dec. 26, 1996, when JonBenet was found strangled and with head trauma in the basement of her home. Although investigators have pursued a number of potential suspects, persons of interest and theories about how she died over the years, no one has been convicted and her death remains one of America's most prominent unsolved cases.
"It's no secret," Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn told reporters in a sit-down interview earlier this week. "We're also going back, based on that cold case review, and retesting things that were tested 30 years ago with newer technology."
Redfearn appeared to confirm a recent revelation from JonBenet's half-brother, John Andrew Ramsey, who told Fox News Digital previously that the family had learned this year that new testing had begun in the fall of 2025.
"Maybe something comes of that," Redfearn said. "Not that it was missed, but maybe the technology just improved enough that we look at, hey, this item was tested in '97, we're testing it again, and hey, look, we found something that was missed in '97."
Dougherty gave an example of a recent trial that he said involved the testimony of four different DNA experts because testing had been done on multiple occasions as the technology improved.
Among the benefits of rapidly improving technology is an increasingly successful ability to identify DNA profiles contained in mixed samples, Dougherty added.
"To me, it's quantity, quality, and location of the DNA," he said.

Traditionally, testing a sample left behind by a single donor is straightforward, he explained.
"When it's a single source in DNA, just generally speaking, it's much easier assuming you have enough to test, particularly if it's blood or semen," he said. "But if it's touch and it's a single source, that's different than if it's touch or saliva, and it is a mixture."

The process can be destructive to the evidence, especially when there isn't much left, he said, and that complicates things under evidence rules that must be validated and stand up in court.
"We're not gonna do it recklessly, to use Chief Redfearn's word," Dougherty said. "We're also not gonna hesitate. We recognize the clock's ticking. None of us are gonna be here forever. We wanna see this case solved for everyone involved and everyone impacted by it. And we're absolutely committed to doing that."

Separately, Redfearn told reporters that if the new DNA testing fails to yield results, investigators have additional previously unreleased evidence they could make public in the hope that someone comes forward.
LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST
"There’s still plenty of things that are not out there that we have," he told reporters.
While tips continue to come in regularly almost three decades after JonBenet's slaying, investigators are still asking anyone who may have information to come forward.
"There is more than one someone out there that knows something," Redfearn said.
Popular snack may help support brain health in older adults, new study finds
An unsuspecting snack could help support brain health in older adults, new research suggests.
A small study by researchers at Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands, published in the journal Food & Function in September, found that eating peanuts regularly may improve how the brain's memory-related regions respond to insulin.
The study involved just 31 healthy older adults, and researchers did not determine whether the changes could prevent cognitive decline or Alzheimer's disease.
POPULAR FOODS AMERICANS EAT EVERY DAY LINKED TO SILENT BRAIN DAMAGE, ALARMING STUDY FINDS
In addition to regulating blood sugar, insulin helps nerve cells in the brain to grow and communicate with each other, which in turn can support overall cognitive function.
Consuming unsalted, skin-roasted peanuts every day positively affected insulin responsiveness in memory-related brain regions in older adults, the study found.
"This is an interesting study because we're increasingly recognizing that insulin plays an important role in brain health, not just blood sugar regulation," Kellyann Niotis, a New York-based preventive neurologist, told Fox News Digital. "Insulin has important functions in the brain, including supporting communication between brain cells and the processes involved in learning and memory."
The study involved 31 healthy adults between the ages of 60 and 75 who ate 60 grams, or around two servings, of peanuts daily for 16 weeks.

Participants could choose what time of day they ate the skin-roasted peanuts, which were provided in premeasured packets.
During a control phase of the study, participants did not eat any peanuts.
Using MRI scans to measure various aspects of brain health, the researchers discovered that eating peanuts every day for 16 weeks led to an approximately 4% increase in overall blood flow in the brain.
Researchers also observed improved insulin responsiveness in memory-related brain regions, including the hippocampus.

"We know that insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction are associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease," Niotis said. "What we're still trying to understand is whether improving insulin signaling specifically within the brain can help prevent or delay AD."
The study found that daily consumption of about 60 grams of unsalted, skin-roasted peanuts for 16 weeks may benefit brain insulin responsiveness in older adults.
"I would not interpret these findings as evidence that peanuts prevent Alzheimer's. And it's unlikely that one food will ever have that much power," Niotis said. "The strongest nutritional evidence continues to support overall dietary patterns, rather than any single food."
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Because this was such a small study, she added, researchers "don't yet know whether these changes translate into meaningful benefits for memory or long-term brain health."
The research was funded by the Peanut Institute Foundation, which the study reported had no role in its design, analysis or publication decisions.
"I would much rather see someone focus on eating a Mediterranean-style diet consistently than worry about whether they're eating enough peanuts," Niotis said.
Left held our businesses hostage. Now it wants to punish those that escaped
The same politicians who spent years commanding companies to advance leftist ideology now want to punish those companies for simply opting out.
A progressive group’s 182-page blueprint, obtained and reported by Fox News, maps out a sweeping agenda for Democratic investigations into companies that have declined to join the radical left’s political war on the Trump administration and have instead tried to work with it, or simply stay out of the fight.
Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin, the expected chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has been equally blunt. He has vowed that Democrats "will not hesitate to go after the private corporations that are collaborating in all of the lawlessness with Donald Trump," and he has singled out law firms that "capitulated" or "surrendered," including those that ended DEI programs as part of agreements with the administration.
‘LAWYER UP’: DEMS IMMEDIATELY PUT TRUMP ON NOTICE AMID REPUBLICANS' MIDTERM BLOODBATH
This is not routine oversight. It is political retribution dressed up as "accountability." And the hypocrisy is impossible to miss.
For years, Raskin and his allies have described corporate America as the victim of Trump-era coercion. Yet the moment companies begin refusing progressive political demands by dumping activist scorecards, dialing back DEI mandates or simply declining to serve as instruments of social reengineering, Raskin announces plans to coerce them himself through subpoenas, hearings and the full power of a House majority. The message is clear: companies may participate in the left’s agenda, but they may not be allowed to walk away from it.
DEMOCRAT IMMEDIATELY THREATENS SUBPOENAS FOR TECH EXECUTIVES IN WAKE OF MIDTERMS
That agenda has been years in the making. Through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks, Human Rights Campaign scorecards, shareholder resolutions and coordinated campaigns by progressive activists, large portions of corporate America were conscripted into projects far removed from making products, serving customers, or earning returns for shareholders.
Hiring and promotion decisions based on merit were subordinated to skewed identity politics. Corporate marketing and philanthropy were hijacked by progressive cultural causes. Boards were told that their fiduciary duties somehow required them to take sides in divisive political fights. The result was not better business performance. It was an unwelcome distraction that increased legal and reputational risk and alienated customers and employees who simply wanted companies to focus on the purpose they were created to carry out.
MEDICAL SCHOOLS ACCUSED OF REBRANDING DEI PROGRAMS TO EVADE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SCRUTINY
Over the past few years, many companies have become fatigued by constant activist bullying and have begun reversing course. They have dropped participation in ideological scorecards, restored merit as the primary standard for employment decisions, and redirected resources toward core operations. These steps are not "capitulation." They are a return to basic, responsible corporate governance. Companies that have gotten back to business are doing exactly what the law and their shareholders require of them. Threatening them for following the law and fulfilling their core mission is not legitimate oversight. It is an attempt to reimpose political control.
Corporate directors and officers already operate under clear legal duties. Their primary obligation is to the corporation and its shareholders — not to any political party, activist group, or congressional committee that wants to use private enterprise as a vehicle for social change.
When politicians demand that companies ignore those duties in favor of ideological priorities, the correct response is not surrender. It is resistance. Shareholders are not a secondary constituency. Their interests are the reason the company exists. Political bullying does not override that reality or primary obligation. Corporate America has been granted emancipation from the shackles of heavy-handed progressive activism. Why would any company voluntarily be taken captive again?
At 1792 Exchange, we have tracked these trends through our Corporate Bias Ratings and Back to Business resources. The data show a measurable shift: companies are exiting activist frameworks, backing away from political engagement unrelated to their business and refocusing on operational excellence. This is healthy. It reduces legal exposure, improves talent decisions and better aligns corporate activity with the interests of customers and owners. Our work exists to encourage corporations to make decisions and set policies that are enduring and will remain unswayed by changing political winds.
The incoming Democratic majority now faces a choice. It can treat private companies that have rejected progressive activism and adopted greater neutrality as prime targets for investigation, or it can honor the principles of free enterprise and economic freedom to serve customers and shareholders without imposed partisan litmus tests.
The former path will waste congressional resources, chill ordinary business decision-making and confirm that the real objective is the advancement of an ideological agenda. The latter path would leave companies to do what they are supposed to do: serve their shareholders, produce excellent goods and services and treat their employees, customers and suppliers well.

And that is the path that creates greater opportunity and greater prosperity for all Americans.
Companies that have punted the scorecards and returned to their core missions should stand firm. Their duty is to their shareholders, employees, and customers, not to the political preferences of whoever holds the gavel in the congressional committees.
Democrats won Congress, but their Trump obsession could give it right back
Very few in Washington saw Democrats taking both chambers of Congress to this extent. The results changed who controls Congress, but they did not change what voters need: lower costs, a stronger economy, and a government focused on the problems families face.
Republicans should take the result seriously and make a clear case for how conservative policies can meet those needs. In the lame-duck session, Congress still has to fund the government and pass the annual defense bill. Republicans should work to finish that business and show voters that governing matters more than scoring points.
The bigger test begins in January. Democratic leaders have promised investigations into the administration, its officials, and companies. That choice could consume the new Congress. It could also repeat a political mistake Democrats have made before: turning their opposition to Trump into the central story, and giving him the chance to cast himself as the target of a partisan campaign.
JAMIE RASKIN CALLS CONCERNS OVER SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME INVESTIGATING TRUMP A MEDIA 'NARRATIVE'
That argument helped Trump in 2024. He made the prosecutions and investigations against him a central part of his appeal, and voters returned him to the White House. Democrats should understand the risk. A Congress organized around investigating Trump could once again make him the central figure in the national debate, while leaving less time and attention for the issues voters want addressed.
The stakes extend beyond the administration. Democratic lawmakers have warned that companies, too, should expect investigations. When Congress puts private businesses under a partisan spotlight because of their dealings with the government or their connection to a political dispute, the consequences reach employees, investors, and communities. It can also make businesses think twice about working with the federal government, even when that partnership serves the public.
JEFFRIES LEAVES DOOR OPEN TO INVESTIGATING MAJOR TRUMP ALLY AS DEMOCRATS PREPARE TO TAKE POWER
Republicans should call out that overreach clearly. A congressional majority should not use subpoenas and hearings to intimidate political opponents or companies associated with them. If Democrats spend the next two years pursuing a sweeping investigation agenda, Republicans should press them to explain what it will do to lower costs, strengthen the economy, or improve Americans’ lives.
But Republicans cannot build a strategy around waiting for Democrats to overreach. They need to offer a credible alternative: a practical agenda on affordability and economic opportunity, serious attention to energy and national security, and a willingness to work on solutions that can win support across party lines.
ELAINE PARKER: DEMOCRAT WIN IS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR REPUBLICANS, NOT A VOTE FOR SOCIALISM
In the minority, Republicans will have fewer tools to set the agenda. They will still have a responsibility to represent our constituents, make the case for their ideas, and hold Democrats accountable for the choices they make. That means staying focused on results and resisting the temptation to answer every partisan maneuver with one of their own.
The election handed Democrats control of Congress. It did not give them a blank check to turn the next two years into a campaign of subpoenas, hearings, and headlines. If that is their priority, voters will see the difference between a party focused on governing and one focused on Trump. Republicans should be ready to make that case, and to show voters what they would do with the chance to lead again.
A spy took out Nvidia’s CEO. Here’s how America still wins the AI race
With Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s resignation on Thursday, an accused Chinese spy has taken out the No. 1 player on America’s AI roster. This is worse than a first-and-goal fumble. It’s a body blow that puts the U.S.-China AI race in flux.
Chinese President Xi Jinping knows that if he doesn’t stop the momentum soon, America’s lead in AI will forestall his country’s plans to take over and become a world hegemon.
If Nvidia stumbles without Huang, China has us right where it wants us. Nvidia was the first company to surpass the $5 trillion milestone in market capitalization. Fellow CEOs like Michael Dell lauded him as a "great partner and friend, a true leader and visionary of the AI age" just last spring. Yet reports of Nvidia chip smuggling led Singapore to launch an investigation in 2025.
SOUND OFF ON JENSEN HUANG'S RESIGNATION FROM NVIDIA
Here's what America must do to stop China’s assault.
1. Wake up to the pervasive China threat. It comes as no surprise that an accused Chinese spy targeted Jensen Huang. Americans have to wise up.
The Wall Street Journal reported back in 2022 on China’s attempts to influence state and local government leaders and officials. Americans in the defense sector already know to steer clear of inquisitive strangers at trade shows.
Sad to say, but Chinese citizens should be treated cautiously. Due to China’s national security laws, every Chinese citizen operating abroad, whether a high-flying executive or a student at a U.S. university, is obliged to give the Ministry of State Security information, if asked.
US ATTORNEY WARNS CHINESE ESPIONAGE IS 'EXTREMELY PERVASIVE,' SAYS BEIJING 'PLAYING THE LONG GAME'
2. Encourage the competitors.
Nvidia’s market share is massive, but it is not the only game in town. Top rival AMD—whose processors power El Capitan, the supercomputer that claimed the world's No. 1 spot upon its debut—is a major competitor. Meanwhile, tech giants like Google, AWS, Meta, and Microsoft are increasingly deploying their own "custom silicon" in-house and via cloud services, part of a custom AI chip market projected by some analysts to grow from $32 billion in 2026 to $132 billion by 2035. As Google rolls out newer generations of its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to challenge Nvidia’s dominance, hyperscalers are actively working to reduce their reliance on Nvidia's hardware.
WINNING THE AI RACE MEANS BEATING CHINA ON INNOVATION, COST AND TRUST
"Nvidia is investigating its own CEO. Google is busy building the chips that could take its customers," wrote Jared Blikre at Yahoo Finance on Monday, after Google released two new tensor processing units to do battle with Nvidia’s chips.
3. Don’t rock the boat on investment. The U.S. ability to deploy capital for startups, mergers and other investments is a key advantage over China. Huang was a financial engine for AI. In China, the state invests; here, it takes Big Tech players to fuel the AI ecosystem. One of the scariest aspects of the uncertainty at Nvidia centers on Huang’s financial support for many other customers and partner companies in the AI ecosystem.
THE BIGGEST THREAT IN AMERICA'S RACE WITH CHINA ISN'T BEIJING, TECH EXECUTIVE WARNS
Let’s start with a few examples of how Nvidia uses its cash: a $3 billion purchase of Meta stock and a $105 billion guarantee for OpenAI’s leases for data centers in Ohio. Colette Kress is stepping up from her role as CFO to serve as Nvidia’s interim CEO, so she will have good visibility into these deals. Cash needs to keep flowing, and the U.S. must resist overly restrictive regulations.
4. Win global market share. Clearly, Huang wanted to fight for China’s AI chip market. The backstory on Nvidia and China is complicated. Nvidia held a 95% market share in China in 2022 until Xi Jinping’s self-reliance policies and U.S. export bans turned the tables. Nvidia’s share fell to 40% in 2025 and is forecast to fall to 8% in 2026, as reported by Fast Company. "If the United States doesn’t want to partake, participate in China, Huawei has got China covered, and Huawei has got everybody else covered," CEO Jensen Huang said in a June 2025 interview with CNBC.

Sales and market share were not always integral to national security policy. Back in the Cold War, it was enough to ban exports of sensitive items. That won’t work now. Chinese companies like Huawei are eager to set up their AI tech stacks and data centers to score market share and boost Chinese innovation.
The AI race is one the U.S. government cannot win by itself. We’ll see if Nvidia can still carry the torch.
Pence leaves door open to 2028 White House run, issues stark warning to GOP after midterm disaster
EXCLUSIVE - Former Vice President Mike Pence isn't ruling out another run for the White House in 2028, telling Fox News Digital that he has heard from people across the country about a potential presidential bid.
The former vice president also delivered a warning to his party following the GOP's severe setbacks in the 2026 midterm elections, arguing that Republicans risk another defeat unless they abandon departures from the traditional conservative principles that have defined the party for decades.
Pence, who unsuccessfully campaigned for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said at an event in September at the Economic Club of Washington that he had "no plans" to run for president or any other elected office in 2028.
But in his first interview since the midterms, Pence appeared to leave the door open to another White House bid, telling Fox News Digital he's received outreach urging him to consider another White House bid.
ONLY ON FOX NEWS: PENCE DELIVERS SCATHING REBUKE TO VANCE, TRUMP
"We've been hearing from a lot of people around the country. I've been very humbled by that," he said.
Pence didn't reveal any timeline for making a 2028 decision.
Instead he repeatedly emphasized that "the most important thing is that we win the presidency in 2028. And to do that, I think it will be essential that we focus first on what we're for before we focus on who we're for."
WILL TRUMP AVOID MAKING AN ENDORSEMENT IN THE 2028 GOP NOMINATION RACE?
Pence, who has seen Advancing American Freedom, his policy and advocacy organization, dramatically expand over the past year, highlighted that he's going to "continue to lean into advocating that broad mainstream conservative agenda that's defined the Republican Party for the last 50 years."
"The truth is if, if we don't return the Republican Party to the principles of a strong defense, limited government, fiscal responsibility, and the right to life, it won't matter who we nominate in 2028."
Pence partially blames the GOP's midterm shellacking, which saw the Democrats win a large House majority and also regain control of the Senate, on what he argues is President Donald Trump's second term retreat from conservative principles and towards a populist agenda.
Pence, who served as Trump's first term vice president, claimed that "this version of Republicanism was just rejected by the American people" in what he called "the wreckage of the 2026 midterm elections."
Asked for comment, White House Spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital, "Mike Pence’s total and complete lack of courage caused untold damage to our great country. If Republican voters cared what Mike Pence had to say, he wouldn’t have had to drop out of the presidential race months before the Iowa caucuses."
VANCE, CRUZ, DESANTIS DIAGNOSE GOP'S MIDTERM DISASTER AS 2028 BATTLE BEGINS
Looking ahead, Pence said, " I don't know what the future holds, but all of my energies, all of my focus and my calling now is to be a champion and an advocate for the conservative principles that have defined our party, led us to our greatest successes, and always made America strong and prosperous and free."
Asked if he doesn't run, he could support Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio if either seeks the GOP nomination, Pence answered, "What I'm gonna be looking for is men and women who embrace that historic traditional conservative agenda of the Republican Party."
He argued that "there's a lot of folks on the populist right that suggest that people that that hew to that old Reagan tradition don't know what time it is, and I think the midterm elections have given a verdict on their approach to Republicanism."
Couple accused of killing registered sex offender in pre-planned stabbing in Arizona desert
An Arizona couple was arrested after allegedly stabbing a registered sex offender to death in a desert area of the state, according to authorities.
Jacob Middlebrook, 35, and his girlfriend, Layne McIntosh, 36, were initially taken into custody for second-degree homicide in the death of 29-year-old Arron Christopher Warren, Bullhead City Police said on social media.
Police began investigating after a motorist found a dead man on the side of the road in the 3100 block of Silver Creek Road on Saturday. The circumstances surrounding the man’s death appeared suspicious, so detectives were called to the scene to conduct a homicide investigation.
MICHIGAN DECISION FORCES REMOVAL OF DISGRACED SPORTS DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR FROM SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY
Detectives later identified the man as Warren, a Bullhead City "transient." Detectives also identified a possible suspect and discovered that the victim’s vehicle was missing.
Hours later, Las Vegas Metro Police assisted Bullhead City investigators and located the victim’s vehicle parked at a casino in Laughlin, Nevada.
Middlebrook and McIntosh were taken into custody by Las Vegas Metro Police and booked into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, where they will be held until they can be extradited to Mohave County, Arizona.
On Monday, the pair's charges were upgraded to first-degree homicide.

Investigators determined that the two were also "local transients" who had known the victim for the past few months.
"Detectives discovered that the couple had expressed distaste for registered sex offenders and had planned the homicide in advance," Bullhead City police said.
"The couple reportedly pre-determined the desert location where they intended to leave Warren’s body. They also reportedly measured furniture/beds that could be large enough to cover the victim’s body along the side of the road. Warren was a registered Level 2 sex offender," the post added.
Bullhead City Police Chief Paul George said the department updates the community when certain registered sex offenders move in or change addresses but that he "will not tolerate anyone using this information as a reason to threaten, intimidate, harass or harm another person."
"When a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into our area or, more commonly, changes addresses, the Bullhead City Police Department shares that information as a public service to help keep residents informed," he said in a statement. "While required notifications are mailed to residents living within an approximate 1,000 feet radius of an offender’s registered address, we go a step further by sharing these notifications on social media to reach a broader audience. Our goal is to provide information, not create fear or alarm. We believe an informed community is a safer community."
"Our Bureau of Criminal Investigations conducts monthly address verification checks to help ensure registered sex offenders are complying with registration requirements. Our responsibility is to protect our community, keep residents informed and to enforce the law. We take all three of these seriously," George continued.
Newsom reveals when he'll decide on 2028 White House bid amid growing speculation
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that he will decide within the next two months whether to seek the presidency, revealing that he plans to make up his mind by early January about a potential 2028 bid.
Newsom, who will leave office in January, was asked about his presidential aspirations while attending the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Turkey.
"As it relates to 2028, we'll make that decision in the next few months," Newsom told Turkey's Anadolu news agency.
"I'll make the determination at the beginning of the year," he continued. "So we'll spend the next few weeks with the family and make a decision early January."
GAVIN NEWSOM SEEKS COUNSEL FROM ‘MASTER’ BILL CLINTON AS HE PLOTS PROJECT 2029
Newsom has long been discussed as a potential 2028 contender, frequently mentioned among possible Democratic candidates, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga.
However, fellow Californian and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris could complicate Newsom's plans if she decides to launch another White House bid.
Newsom previously said he would not run for president if Harris entered the race.
"I don't know if she runs, but we'll see," Newsom told CNN's Jake Tapper in a September interview. "But I wouldn't run if she ran."
"If she runs, you will not," Tapper responded.
"Of course not. Why would I?" Newsom said. "I wouldn't do that to her ... I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't waste everyone's time. Who needs that?"
Newsom also suggested during the interview that spectators would feast on the "mutual-assured destruction" among Democrats competing for the nomination.
"I mean, you do whatever you want. I don't care," Tapper told Newsom. "But [the] counterargument would be, like, you know, she had her shot. And you've never run, and she's run twice."
"Yeah," Newsom responded. "I mean, that'd be the approach to the campaign, certainly. That'd be the case you'd make. Pretty good one, actually. That's objectively true."
KATHY HOCHUL ENTERTAINS MASSIVE POLITICAL PROMOTION AS DEMOCRATS LOOK AHEAD TO 2028
Newsom, who is term-limited after 2026, outlined his political timeline just over a week after Republicans suffered sweeping defeats in the midterm elections, losing control of both chambers of Congress and several traditionally Republican strongholds.
Newsom said he was "particularly pleased with the outcome of the election."
"Donald Trump's presidency, as we know it, ended last week in the U.S.," he said. "It was a historic rebuke of his tenure, and now it's incumbent upon those that were successful to govern and to lead my party. The Democratic Party now has to set forth a positive alternative agenda to Donald Trump."

Highly contagious bird flu detected in Wisconsin as officials euthanize infected flock
A highly contagious strain of bird flu has struck a backyard poultry flock in Wisconsin, prompting officials to euthanize the birds amid ongoing concerns about the spread of the potentially deadly disease.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) confirmed Thursday a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a backyard poultry flock in Rusk County.
Officials did not specify how the flock became infected.
DATCP said all birds on the property were euthanized and will not enter the food system.
HPAI, a highly contagious virus that is often fatal to domestic poultry, has circulated among wild and domestic birds in North America since December 2021, according to DATCP.
The disease is caused by influenza type A viruses and can vary in severity depending on the strain and affected species.
The virus can spread through contact with infected birds, wild birds or their droppings, as well as contaminated equipment or clothing worn by people working with the animals, according to DATCP.
JD VANCE INSTALLS CUSTOM CHICKEN COOP AT NAVAL OBSERVATORY AND WILL PERSONALLY CARE FOR BIRDS
When HPAI is confirmed in a backyard poultry flock, officials may establish a 10-kilometer surveillance zone, though surrounding poultry premises would not face movement restrictions.
DATCP urged livestock owners to take precautions to protect their flocks and herds, including washing hands, disinfecting equipment, restricting access to animals and separating new additions for at least 30 days.
The agency also recommended that poultry owners keep their birds indoors when possible.
