Mamdani calls ICE a 'rogue' agency after NYC shooting, claims agents view law as 'merely a suggestion'

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of operating as a "rogue federal agency" and treating the law as "merely a suggestion" during a Sunday interview, days after a federal immigration officer fired seven shots at a man in Manhattan while his 5-year-old son was inside the vehicle.

Mamdani, speaking to MS NOW host Jacob Soboroff in his first interview since Thursday's shooting of 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, accused ICE agents of repeatedly disregarding the law and questioned whether New Yorkers could distinguish federal officers from dangerous attackers.

"We follow the law in New York City and I know that to the secretary, the law is merely a suggestion when it comes to the actions of these ICE agents," Mamdani said. "They are making a mockery of what law and order is."

MAMDANI BLASTS FEDS FOR WAGING 'CAMPAIGN OF VIOLENCE AND TERROR' AGAINST NYC'S IMMIGRANTS

The Department of Homeland Security pushed back against Mamdani's accusations in a statement to Fox News Digital, defending ICE and criticizing the mayor's rhetoric toward federal immigration officers.

"ICE enforces the law as written. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S. — full stop," a DHS spokesperson said. "Mayor Mamdani should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these dangerous criminals from his city — NOT vilifying law enforcement."

"Attacks and demonization of ICE law enforcement is wrong," the statement continued. "Because of smears like this our ICE officers are now facing a 1,600% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists."

EXCLUSIVE: DHS SECRETARY MULLIN SLAMS SANCTUARY POLITICIANS AS ATTACKS ON ICE OFFICERS SKYROCKET

Mamdani argued that ICE's operations were making New Yorkers less safe and calling for the agency's elimination.

"What we see from their actions is an agency that terrorizes, one that creates a sense of fear as opposed to any idea of safety. And I made it very clear that the longer that ICE agents were engaging in their operations in the city, the less safe this city was becoming," Mamdani said.

The shooting occurred Thursday afternoon in the Marble Hill neighborhood, where ICE agents attempted to apprehend Belgal, a Dominican national whom DHS said had a prior grand larceny conviction and previous arrests involving assault, robbery, drugs and weapons.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at least one federal immigration officer fired seven rounds, striking Belgal in the neck below his left ear. His 5-year-old son, who was sitting inside the vehicle, was unharmed.

Mamdani said he spoke with President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin for nearly two hours Thursday evening in an unsuccessful effort to secure Belgal's release. He expressed frustration with the secretary's assessment of the shooting.

"What struck me is the secretary did not think that ICE agents had done anything wrong," Mamdani said. "I am demanding that ICE cease their operations in our city immediately, because these operations make New Yorkers less safe. They leave New Yorkers in a state of terror."

DHS SECRETARY BASHES NEW YORK LEADERSHIP AFTER ANNOUNCING THOUSANDS OF ARRESTS IN SWEEPING OPERATION

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken temporarily blocked Belgal's deportation while his challenge to federal detention remains pending. The judge also restricted his transfer outside specified federal judicial districts without prior court approval.

The NYPD, which was not involved in the shooting, released body camera footage showing officers responding to the scene after the shooting. The FBI and Homeland Security Investigations are investigating the incident.

Mullin criticized Mamdani's anti-ICE rhetoric during a Friday news conference, accusing the mayor of inciting hostility toward federal immigration officers while refusing to support their enforcement efforts.

"His words are dangerous and incite hostility. It doesn't help," Mullin said. "He said that ICE is rotten to the core. Really? Men and women at ICE each day are enforcing the laws that he refuses to enforce. He said he wants to abolish ICE. Well, Mayor, if you abolish ICE, who's going to take the criminals off the streets of your own town?"

DHS told Fox News Digital that nearly 7,000 criminal illegal immigrants had been released from New York jurisdictions under sanctuary policies. The department said the Trump administration's immigration crackdown had resulted in more than 3 million illegal immigrants leaving the United States, including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations.

Bill Maher reveals he's having dinner with Trump again, says he was 'really nice' by text

Liberal comedian Bill Maher revealed on Monday that he's having dinner with President Donald Trump again.

"I'm having dinner with him again next week," Maher told famed Hollywood agent and executive Ari Emanuel during a conversation on Maher's "Club Random" podcast.

"After the first dinner, I went back to doing what I do... But then, like, he just, out of the blue, let's have dinner again. And I was like, great. And he was really nice," Maher said. "Like, I promise I won't say bad things about you like I did the last time.' And I texted back, and I said, 'You know what, you're the president of the United States. Say whatever the f--- you want. I'm just glad we're talking.' It's like being called a 'hockey puck' by Don Rickles. It's just what he does. It's how he talks."

BILL MAHER REVEALS TRUMP WAS 'GRACIOUS AND MEASURED' AT WHITE HOUSE MEETING, SAYS HE'S NOT THE MAN SEEN ON TV

Both Maher and Emanuel agreed it's better to talk with those they disagree with than not. Emanuel, who previously represented Trump when he hosted "The Apprentice," told Maher he had spoken with the president on that Monday.

"It blows my mind that there are people in this world and lots of them on the far left who just would turn this opportunity down, a private dinner in the White House with the president, just a few people, say whatever you want," Maher said. "I've heard people say, 'Well, I don't like the war.' Tell him! You can tell them, and I will."

Maher took swipes at Emanuel's client Larry David, who previously lambasted the HBO host for his White House dinner last year, while ignoring his agent's relationship with Trump.

"It's so interesting to me that Larry David, like, I'm the devil because I talk to him, but his own agent just talked to him on Monday," Maher laughed as Emanuel attempted to avoid weighing in. "You must recognize the hypocrisy there. Somehow, when it's his own agent doing the exact same thing, this is, then we don't play the Hitler card."

BILL MAHER FIRES BACK AT LARRY DAVID OVER 'MY DINNER WITH ADOLF' OP-ED, SAYS IT INSULTS '6 MILLION DEAD JEWS'

The podcast episode was released Monday but it is unclear whether the dinner has already happened. Neither the White House nor Maher's representatives responded to requests for comment.

Maher and Trump had been public foes for more than a decade until their mutual friend Kid Rock brokered a meeting between the two of them, which resulted in a dinner at the White House. He said during a monologue that Trump was more gracious and good-humored than he expected.

He also credited Trump for being "much more self-aware than he lets on in public," revealing the subject of the 2020 election came up during his tour of the White House and that he "didn't get mad" about how Maher brought up Trump's rare admission that he had lost.

MAHER MOCKS LIBERALS FOR STILL PANICKING ABOUT TRUMP'S ANTICS, PERSONALITY AFTER 10 YEARS

"Look, I get it. It doesn't matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian. It matters who he is on the world stage. I'm just taking as a positive that this person exists. Because everything I've ever not liked about him was, I swear to God, absent at least on this night with this guy," Maher said. 

"I never felt I had to walk on eggshells around him," he told his audience. "And honestly, I voted for Clinton and Obama, but I would never feel comfortable talking to them the way I was able to talk with Donald Trump. That's just how it went down. Make of it what you will. Me? I feel it's emblematic of why the Democrats are so unpopular these days."

Their relationship appears to be in decent shape behind the scenes despite the public feuding since the dinner. Earlier this year, Maher received the Mark Twain Prize from the Kennedy Center, which Trump oversees as its chairman, and it's been reported that the White House attempted to block Maher from the award. Trump has also repeatedly attacked Maher's "low ratings" on Truth Social in recent months.

Tensions explode in NFL stands as nasty fan fights break out in multiple cities

Fists were flying Sunday at NFL stadiums.

While there were zero arrests at Lambeau Field for the normally hostile Bears-Packers game, emotions were high at SoFi Stadium between winless Chargers fans and Broncos fans who invaded the away game by the tens of thousands. Meanwhile, in Miami, the winless Dolphins fans are getting restless.

A viral video being passed around social media shows Dolphins fan unloading punches on the face of a Cincinnati fan in the upper deck at Hard Rock Stadium.

Outside of that, there was an ugly incident in D.C. after the ugly 27-27 tie between the Giants and the Redskins. It featured Giants fans fighting Redskins fans, Eagles fan punching somebody and bodies flying around as people walked to their cars.

It wasn't all negative for fans across the league. Police responded to just 15 calls for service at the Bears-Packers game and seven fans were ejected. During the 2025 December game between these bitter rivals, a night game, there were 30 police calls, 12 people were ejected and one person was arrested.

Judge Judy credits Her Honor program with making her 'hopeful' for the next generation

Judge Judy Sheindlin recently announced that she’s "rewiring" and letting son Adam Levy take the reins of TV courtroom drama, but she has plenty of other projects to keep her busy. The Her Honor Mentoring program she helped co-found just celebrated its 20-year anniversary.

Sheindlin founded the program with her daughter Nicole Sheindlin to empower young women through mentorship and professional development. For the past two decades, Her Honor Mentoring has welcomed approximately 2,500 participants; 1,500 mentees, selected from 31 high schools across the region, and more than 1,000 mentors from 400 organizations and businesses.

"I’m so happy to be here 20 years after our freshman year," Sheindlin told Fox News Digital.

The project, she said, "started off with a dream" and all they could do was hope it was successful. The first class held only eight or nine women, whereas the most recent class in September saw over 100.

JUDGE JUDY SHARES THE BEST PIECE OF PROFESSIONAL ADVICE SHE EVER RECEIVED AHEAD OF HER HONOR EVENT

"It’s the combination of the mentoring and the financial part of it – which is the girls get paid for working… and learning how to dress for success, learning about making first impressions, learning how to manage your money and just knowing how to grow up financially prepared to be an adult," Sheindlin told Fox News Digital.

The project, she said, is "simple, but satisfying." And she's been impressed and inspired by the young participants' drive to succeed.

"This small cohort makes me hopeful," Sheindlin said. "I think that you become jaded when you see so much dysfunction. I’ve been around so much adult dysfunction and juvenile dysfunction, that to see young people still hoping and dreaming, wanting to work hard to realize their dream that their journey on this Earth is positive and fulfilling, makes you feel good. It sort of renews your faith that probably the vast majority of people are like these young women. That they want their lives to be productive and happy and fulfilling."

Several of the former mentees have come back as mentors after starting their careers.

"We’re teaching them to give back," she said. "We’re teaching these young women the importance of being not only for themselves. But then once you’ve realized that, to supporting others with your time and your talent… they have a drive, they want to be their own engines. They want to be the engine that pulls their own train."

JUDGE ADAM LEVY PREVIEWS HIS ‘NITTY-GRITTY’ NEW SHOW – AND HOW HIS STYLE COMPARES TO HIS MOM JUDGE JUDY

Sheindlin credited her stepdaughter Nicole as being "the engine that keeps the project running."

Nicole, the current CEO of Her Honor Mentoring, said the program started as a reflection of her relationship with Judge Judy. She went to the same law school as her stepmother and sat on the bench with her when she was a judge in family court. Nicole called it the perfect model for the program, saying, "The power and the impact of having a professional woman, a strong woman be a mentor, be a guide, be a supporter."

The mother-daughter duo concluded they should empower young women together to help women gain some extra skills and expand their professional network. 

"We’ve come to learn how much the mentors have grown and are inspired," Nicole told Fox Digital. "They’ve discovered that giving back empowers their own personal wellbeing."

The program connects mentees with mentors across several industries. During 20 weekly meetings throughout the academic year, mentoring teams explore topics related to education, career and financial literacy. 

In addition, as part of the Her Honor experience, mentees complete four electives. The offerings include field trips, digital courses and creative projects.

JUDGE JUDY HAS SCATHING MESSAGE FOR CITIES ENGULFED IN BRAZEN CRIME, PINPOINTS ‘RIDICULOUS’ POLICIES'

The 2026-27 Her Honor class consists of 108 mentees and 123 mentors across 14 schools throughout Bronx, Rockland and Westchester counties.

Mentee Keiry Alvarez and her mentor Lilliana Mendoza said they were grateful that the program helped them overcome their timidity. Alvarez, who said she was encouraged to join the program after her sister said Her Honor has helped her become more confident and outspoken.

Mendoza was the first generation female to go to college in her family and a 2016 Her Honor mentee. She said the program helped her combat her shyness, gain people skills and find her voice. She added that it gave her specific guidance that has made an impact on her career as a police officer in the Mamaroneck Police Department.

"Throughout my mentorship, I learned to have a lot of empathy for people and understand how people are, and I think that was a big part, because I also have a lot of empathy for people," she told Fox Digital.

British adventurer returns home after 28-year walk around the world

Adventurer Karl Bushby has finally stepped foot on UK soil after a 28-year journey across the world.

On Oct. 5, he announced he swam the English Channel, from France to England. While resting in Dover, he said, "I’m staring at the Union Jack flying outside this hotel. I’ve seen many flags over the days, but that one is special."

On social media he shared one of his first meals back, overjoyed to have authentic British fish and chips again.

His journey is not over yet. He hopes to reach the finish line — his mother’s home in Hull — by the end of the month.

According to his website, he received a birthday card in the 1990s from his father about two soldiers arguing over an impossible feat, walking from London to New York via the Bering Strait. Karl grabbed a map and drew a single line, knowing he found his life’s mission.

NAVY VETERANS REUNITE AFTER 30 YEARS FOR 'GRUELING' CROSS-COUNTRY BIKE CHALLENGE HONORING 9/11

On Nov. 1, 1998, the ex-paratrooper started his journey in Chile, with only a few hundred dollars in his pocket "South America, you were young, it was all new, it was the boys adventure dream," Bushby said.

He walked north to the United States, waiting for the Bering Strait to freeze to cross from Alaska into Russia. In April 2012, Russia denied his next visa, pausing his expedition. So he started walking in the wrong direction, in protest, to the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. The ban was overturned and he carried on with his journey. From Russia he entered Mongolia, China, and swam the Caspian Sea from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan.

Then it was on to Europe.

"You’ll find that you are way more capable than you think you are, people always underestimate themselves. The world always looks bigger and scarier than it actually is," Bushby said.

He originally expected the journey to take 12 years, but visa restrictions, the 2008 financial crash, COVID-19, geopolitics, detention and some close calls slowed his progress. He says it’s the people that kept him going.

"The world is an incredible place, and it’s the people, the strangers that I have met along the way, that have kept me upright and moving forward," Bushby said.

Bushby has roughly 240 miles left to walk. He covered more than 30,000 miles, across 29 countries. "We went at a reasonable pace, we did what we needed to do and it has worked. I know it’s time to stop, I know that much because I feel that in the knees and ankles."

Ryan Seacrest's secrets for staying ripped at 51 without giving up wine, pizza or sweets

Getting a shredded physique is apparently all about balance.

Last week, longtime "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest showed off his flawless physique in an Instagram post, highlighting what a typical "day off" looks like for him.

The viral post, which showed him shirtless next to his bike, was met with applause and celebrity feedback. "Dancing with the Stars" pro Gleb Savchenko commented, "Let’s goo!!! Shredded."

NIGHTLY GLASS OF WINE MAY NOT BE AS HARMLESS AS MANY PEOPLE THINK, STUDY SUGGESTS

Actor and singer Nick Rashad Burroughs wrote, "This is what Ryan Seacrest looked like with a short off the whole time?!?"

In a response on Sunday, Seacrest posted a video to social media with the text, "What’s your idea of a perfect day?"

The radio host shared how he aims to strike a balance in his lifestyle, like cycling 30 miles and stopping at the bakery on the way home.

"It’s gardening the produce and homemaking the pizza," he said. "It’s drinking the wine, and still making my workout the next day. Balance is not always a given, but it’s created."

Seacrest has previously shared his affinity for wellness and fitness, often posting photos and videos at the gym and on a bike.

TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ

Last month, he shared a video of himself working out with a variety of dumbbells and weight plates during a beach vacation.

The video featured resistance training combos, like squats paired with overhead dumbbell presses, and another including skull crushers with a barbell and reverse crunches.

Seacrest has shouted out his personal trainer, Dodd Romero, who famously trains other A-list celebrities like Lenny Kravitz and Jennifer Lopez.

Fox News Digital reached out to Seacrest and Romero for comment.

Pentagon data breach exposes records of over 3M people

You can change a password after a breach. You can cancel a credit card. But when your Social Security number gets exposed, you could be dealing with the fallout for years. That is the concern after a major breach involving the Pentagon's Defense Manpower Data Center. If you have served in the military, worked for the Department of War or have other ties to the military community, your information could be among the records involved.

A War Department official told CyberGuy that 2.76 million living individuals and 294,000 deceased individuals were affected. Depending on the person, the exposed information can include Social Security numbers, names, dates of birth, contact information and military personnel details. So, if a breach letter from the Pentagon shows up in your mailbox, don't toss it aside. Here's what happened, what may have been exposed and what you can do to protect yourself.

DMV BREACH CONFIRMED AS HACKERS CLAIM 200,000 RECORDS STOLEN

The breach involved the Defense Manpower Data Center, or DMDC. A War Department official told CyberGuy that a DMDC information system experienced unauthorized access to personally identifiable information by a small number of unauthorized users between October 2025 and July 2026. The official said DMDC immediately remediated the vulnerability after discovering it. At this time, the department says it has no indication that the accessed information has been misused.

The files accessed contained unencrypted personally identifiable information. That created a potentially long exposure window before the vulnerability was discovered. Personal information such as a Social Security number can remain useful to criminals long after the original breach fades from the headlines.

The specific information varies depending on the person. According to the Pentagon, exposed records can include:

The military details make this breach particularly sensitive because the records may reveal more than basic identity information. DMDC plays a major role behind the scenes at the Department of Defense. It maintains more than 60 million records covering military personnel, civilian employees, contractors, family members, retirees and veterans. The agency uses those records to support benefits, identity verification and other Defense Department programs. In other words, plenty of people who left active military service years ago may still have information stored in these systems.

People whose personal information was accessed are being notified by postal mail through the Department's contracted provider, Identity Theft Guard Solutions, or IDX. If you receive a notice, read it carefully rather than assuming it is another piece of junk mail. The letter should explain what information tied to you was affected and what protection is being offered.

According to the War Department official, IDX is providing notification, credit monitoring and identity restoration support based on the data elements affected for each individual. Anyone with questions can visit response.idx.us/DMDC or call 1-855-744-4556.

Be careful with unexpected emails or text messages claiming to be connected to the breach. Scammers can use major security incidents as an excuse to send fake notices or links designed to steal even more information. Instead of clicking a link in an unexpected message, verify the information using the official IDX contact details or the postal notice you received.

WHY SCAMMERS TARGET VETERANS AND HOW TO FIGHT BACK

A credit card number has an expiration date. Your Social Security number usually stays with you for life. That can give criminals plenty of time to combine stolen information from one breach with information collected elsewhere. Someone might already have your phone number or an old email address. Adding a Social Security number and date of birth can make a stolen identity far more useful.

A criminal could try to open credit in your name or use the information in a convincing phishing attack. Other forms of identity fraud may never involve your credit report at all. That is why I would treat a breach involving an SSN differently from one exposing an email address or password.

A breach notice can leave you wondering where to start, so focus first on the protections that can limit what someone does with the information.

If DMDC sent you an official notification, review the identity protection services available to you. Eligible individuals may receive 12 months of free credit monitoring and identity restoration support through IDX, depending on the information affected. Credit monitoring can warn you about certain changes to your credit file. However, monitoring usually alerts you after activity occurs. It does not stop someone from attempting to use your identity.

If you were not contacted by DMDC, or if you want protection that continues beyond the free 12-month period, you may also want to consider a broader identity theft protection service. Depending on the service, it may monitor for suspicious use of your personal information and provide help if identity theft occurs. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com.

Consider placing a credit freeze with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. A freeze restricts access to your credit file, which can make it harder for someone to open a new credit account in your name. You can temporarily lift the freeze when you legitimately need to apply for credit. A freeze remains one of the strongest free steps you can take after your Social Security number has been exposed. Keep in mind that a freeze focuses on new credit. It cannot stop every type of identity theft, including fraud involving an existing account.

If you do not want to freeze your credit, you can place a fraud alert on your credit reports. A fraud alert tells lenders to take extra steps to verify your identity before opening new credit. You only need to contact one of the three major credit bureaus, and that bureau should notify the other two. A fraud alert offers less protection than a freeze, but it can still add another layer of scrutiny.

PENTAGON DATA BREACH EXPOSES SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, PERSONAL INFO OF 2.76M US MILITARY, CIVILIAN PERSONNEL

Review your bank and credit card activity regularly. Also pay attention to unexpected changes involving accounts that use your identity. Turn on transaction alerts where available. Quick warnings can help you spot activity before it grows into a bigger problem.

Scammers pay attention to major data breaches too. You could receive a call, email or text from someone claiming to represent the Defense Department, a credit monitoring company or another organization offering to help you secure your identity.

Do not hand over a Social Security number, password or verification code because someone contacts you unexpectedly. Also avoid opening attachments or clicking links in unexpected breach-related messages.

Strong antivirus software can help detect malicious downloads, suspicious links and other threats that may show up in follow-up scams. Keep your security software updated and verify unexpected requests using official contact information you find yourself. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com.

Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for your email, financial accounts and other important services whenever it is available. Your email account deserves special attention because criminals can use it to reset passwords for other accounts. An authenticator app or passkey can offer stronger protection than relying only on a password.

If your Social Security number was exposed, consider getting an IRS Identity Protection PIN. An IP PIN is a six-digit number that helps prevent someone else from filing a federal tax return using your Social Security number. The IRS issues a new PIN each year. This can be especially useful after a breach because tax-related identity theft may not show up on a credit report.

One year of free monitoring is useful, but stolen personal information does not become harmless when that year expires. Continue checking your credit reports and financial accounts. Also pay attention to unexpected tax notices, benefit claims or bills that you do not recognize. We have previously explained why a credit freeze alone does not stop every form of identity theft. A stolen Social Security number can potentially be misused in ways that never trigger a traditional credit check.

What stands out to me here is how long the information involved can remain valuable. A password can be replaced in a few minutes, but a Social Security number, birth date or military history can follow you for decades. If you receive one of these Pentagon breach notices, I would take it seriously even though officials say they have not seen evidence of misuse. Use the free monitoring being offered and consider freezing your credit. Then keep an eye on your accounts after that free monitoring period ends. We hand organizations an enormous amount of personal information because we often have no practical alternative. When that information gets exposed, the burden of watching for fraud suddenly falls back on us.

If the government loses information as sensitive as your Social Security number, should it be responsible for protecting your identity for longer than one year? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

Selma Blair arrested after in-flight incident

Selma Blair was arrested Sunday after allegedly attacking crew members on board a Delta flight into New York City.

"On Sunday October 11 at approximately 11pm at JFK Airport, PAPD responded to a call about a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta Airlines flight 938 which was parked at the gate after arrival from LAX," New York Port Authority officials confirmed to Fox News Digital. 

"Suspect was identified as Selma Blair, a 54-year-old woman. She was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for evaluation."

A rep for Blair told TMZ, "Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition."

SELMA BLAIR SAYS ‘NO ONE RETURNED MY CALLS’ AFTER ANTI-ISLAM COMMENT LED TO HOLLYWOOD FALLOUT

Officials confirmed two flight attendants also reported injuries, and one was transported to the hospital for further evaluation. 

Delta confirmed that law enforcement officials responded to an incident upon arrival to John F. Kennedy International Airport, a flight which departed out of Los Angeles earlier in the day.

"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," Delta said in a statement.

 Additionally, there was no operational impact to the flight as it landed ahead of schedule at JFK, Delta said. 

Blair's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Season is already over for these four NFL teams after Week 5, you can write them off now

Five weeks into the NFL season, we can officially write off four teams. By "write off," we mean teams that are going nowhere. Their fans should be more concerned with draft position than anything their teams might accomplish this season.

We understand how demoralizing it is to concede a season before mid-October. It is, nonetheless, the reality for certain franchises.

Let's start with two teams that aren't tanking, per se, but weren't exactly built to contend this season. The Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals are about as bad as expected, despite the latter managing an early-season win.

The positive is that both teams have stockpiled young talent while positioning themselves for a high draft pick. Miami's rookie class is impressive, including Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson, Jacob Rodriguez, Caleb Douglas, and Chris Bell. Arizona has the best tight end in football in Trey McBride, while Jeremiah Love, albeit injured, has generational upside.

Unfortunately, the 2027 quarterback class doesn't appear nearly as promising as anticipated. Arch Manning, to this point, hardly resembles the prospect analysts projected him to become.

Elsewhere, the Tennessee Titans might be worse than both the Dolphins and Cardinals. That's particularly concerning because Tennessee spent the offseason actively trying to improve its roster and coaching staff.

Through Week 5, the Titans rank last in the NFL in both scoring and total offense, averaging just 11.6 points and 246.4 yards per game.

The winless Titans shouldn't be expected to win many games this season.

After five weeks, we can also write off the Los Angeles Chargers, who entered the season with nearly the same Super Bowl odds as the Kansas City Chiefs. A team coached by Jim Harbaugh and quarterbacked by Justin Herbert should not be this inept. And yet, they are.

At 0-5, with games remaining against the Rams, Ravens, Chiefs twice, 49ers, and Patriots, it's difficult to find many wins left on the schedule.

A midseason parting with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel now seems more plausible than a late-season surge toward the playoffs. The Chargers' season, at least in terms of meaningful aspirations, is over.

Based strictly on their play, the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers should join this list. Both teams have won just one game and have deficiencies on both sides of the ball. Despite relatively high expectations entering the season, the Saints have a minus-33 point differential.

Neither team figures to be much of a factor in the postseason, if it gets there at all. However, both remain just one game out of first place in the perpetually mediocre NFC South.

Likewise, the 1-3-1 Washington Commanders remain viable playoff threats largely because of the lackluster state of the rest of the NFC East.

Granted, it's hard to take seriously a team that did that in overtime on Sunday

The 2-3 New York Jets are the final team worth discussing. As WWE commentator Michael Cole told OutKick last week, the Jets remain poorly coached and overmatched in the trenches. In all likelihood, they are probably a bottom-10 team in the NFL–again.

But we can't, in good faith, write off a team that sits just one game behind the Patriots and Bills, who play the Rams on Monday night, in the AFC East.

We suspect the Jets will join this list by the end of October. For now, however, they've played well enough — including competitive games against the Lions and Packers — to keep the light on for a few more weeks.

So, through Week 5, the Dolphins, Cardinals, Titans, and Chargers are the only four teams we're officially declaring "season over."

The rest of the fan bases should at least have hope, even for just a short while longer.

Biden-appointed judge with history of fiery Trump clashes erupts at DOJ: 'You've lost all credibility!'

A Biden-appointed federal judge who previously drew a formal misconduct complaint from President Donald Trump's Justice Department for alleged bias erupted at government lawyers again Monday, in a heated showdown over rapid tree removal at a historic golf course on national parkland.

Judge Ana Reyes unleashed her latest rebuke during an emergency hearing over hundreds of trees removed from East Potomac Golf Links in Hains Point, D.C. Trump wants to transform the historic public facility into a championship-caliber golf course like his courses in the U.S., Ireland and Scotland – the latest courtroom collision between the administration and its political opponents.

Journalist Scott MacFarlane, who live-tweeted from the hearing, described Reyes as "scream[ing]" at administration attorneys over the government's late-Friday notification that tree removal would begin Saturday. A government lawyer acknowledged that approximately 430 trees had already been cut down, according to MacFarlane.

"You've lost credibility!" Reyes told government attorneys, according to MacFarlane's live courtroom reporting.

The administration maintains that the removals implement a 2019 National Park Service landscape-restoration plan predating Trump's redesign proposal for the links, which sit on an island connected to the city proper by the Jefferson Memorial and Francis Case Bridge at its western edge.

Reyes, who was born in Uruguay and nominated by Biden in 2023, previously grilled a Trump administration attorney about his religious beliefs during litigation challenging Trump's restrictions on transgender military service — an order she called "biologically inaccurate" according to the Washington Post.

The judge questioned how Jesus Christ would respond to "telling a group of people that they are so worthless, so worthless that we’re not going to allow them into homeless shelters?" according to then-DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle’s complaint.

In a 2025 case, Reyes ruled that Trump violated federal notice requirements when he fired several inspectors general but then declined to reinstate them, according to Reuters.

Monday's hearing brought another heated exchange, this time over when government lawyers learned of the tree-removal operation and why they waited until the end of the workweek to notify the court.

"At 4:55pm on a Friday of a holiday weekend, the plaintiffs and I get [little] notice that hundreds of trees are going to be chopped down," Reyes reportedly fumed at the government, according to MacFarlane.

When government counsel reportedly acknowledged learning of the operation on Oct. 8 or 9 and said officials were awaiting details, Reyes demanded:

"Do you have email or a cell phone?"

MacFarlane tweeted that he had never heard a judge "scream at full-voice at a lawyer before," while the UK Independent reported Reyes excoriated federal counsel for about 15 minutes.

The uproar comes as preservationists and progressive interests challenge the administration, including former Obama ethics lawyer Norm Eisen — who has engineered a "broad legal resistance" to the president through his group Democracy Defenders Fund, according to its mission statement.

Eisen tweeted a victory lap Monday after the court agreed to hear the case in an "emergency’ setting.

Preservationists argued the administration has not satisfied applicable environmental and historic-preservation requirements.

The administration disputed that argument, maintaining that the tree removal is authorized NPS landscape management separate from Trump's proposed links renovation.
