Poll position: Where Trump stands among Americans as he faces the nation in primetime

President Donald Trump goes before the nation in prime time on Wednesday evening to deliver what the White House says is "an important update" on the war with Iran.

The president's address comes amid the month-long attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran, which polls indicate are unpopular with many Americans, and a surge in gas prices as a direct result of the fighting have triggered a further slide in Trump's standing in public opinion surveys.

The political implications are clear: The strikes on Iran and the erosion of the president's approval ratings are warning signs for the GOP as Republicans ramp up to defend their slim House and Senate majorities in this autumn's midterm elections.

Trump stood at 41% approval and 59% disapproval in the latest Fox News national poll, which was conducted March 20–23. The president's negative 18-point margin was up from 14 points in the previous Fox News poll, which was conducted Feb. 28–March 2, as the strikes against Iran began.

FOX NEWS LIVE UPDATES ON THE U.S. WAR WITH IRAN

The president's approval ratings stood in the upper 30s, with his disapproval in the upper 50s to low 60s, in the most recent national surveys from Reuters/Ipsos, AP/NORC, and Quinnipiac University. A CNN poll conducted March 26–30 and released Wednesday indicated Trump had a 35%-64% approval/disapproval rating.

An average of the most recent national surveys gauging the president's standing puts Trump just above 40%, with his disapproval in the upper 50s.

WHAT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLL SHOWS ON THE WAR WITH IRAN

While Trump's base remains extremely supportive of the president and the war, much of the slippage is coming from within the GOP, specifically those who are considered non-MAGA Republicans.

"I do see in the last couple of surveys an edging down…close to a double-digit movement," veteran Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps run the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson, said, pointing to declining support for Trump among non-MAGA Republicans.

Fueling Trump's decline appears to be the surge in gas prices.

The average price of gasoline in the U.S. topped $4 per gallon on Tuesday, according to national averages from AAA and GasBuddy, for the first time in four years.

FOX BUSINESS: GAS PRICES TOP $4 PER GALLON

The military attacks by the U.S. and Israel have resulted in the deaths of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials, and the decimation of the country's military.

In response, Iran has targeted energy facilities with missile and drone attacks in a number of Persian Gulf nations. It has also made the Strait of Hormuz nearly impassable to commercial shipping, bringing roughly 20% of the world's oil supply to a halt and sending global fuel prices sharply higher.

That has only exacerbated Trump's polling woes when it comes to his performance on the economy, amid public dissatisfaction with high prices and the cost of living.

A spotlight on inflation helped fuel sweeping victories by Trump and Republicans in the 2024 elections, when they won back the White House and Senate and successfully defended their slim House majority.

DEMOCRATS TARGET TRUMP, GOP, OVER SURING GAS PRICES 

But a laser focus on affordability by Democrats, amid persistent inflation, has fueled a slew of victories and overperformances in 2025's off-year elections and in special elections in the more than 14 months since Trump returned to the White House.

According to the Fox News poll, 80% of respondents said they were concerned about gas prices, and 86% concerned about inflation and high prices. And the CNN survey spotlighted that the president's approval rating for handling the economy sank to 31%, Trump's lowest level ever in their polling.

The White House says the surge in prices is temporary.

"When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multiyear lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Tuesday.

Leavitt emphasized that "President Trump remains committed to fully unleashing American energy dominance, lowering costs, and putting more money back in the pockets of hardworking American families."

OIL HAS SURGED SINCE THE IRAN CONFLICT BEGAN, BUT GAS PRICES MAY NOT BE DONE RISING

The gas price surge is giving Democrats more political ammunition to target the GOP.

"BREAKING: National Gas Prices Skyrocket to $4 Per Gallon," read the headline from an email Tuesday morning from the Democratic National Committee.

The House Democrats' campaign committee last week launched digital ads showing prices at the pump rising and an image saying "D.C. Republicans Did That!" Sources say to expect another round of ads on gas prices in the coming weeks.

But Democrats have their own polling problems, as the party's brand image has cratered to historic lows in a slew of polls over the past year.

Shaw, pointing to the so-called double-haters, voters who disapprove of both Trump and the Democrats, said that group hasn't "really swung dramatically to the Democrats" as the midterms approach.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas emphasized in a recent Fox News Digital interview that, in his opinion, Trump's "decision to launch this military action is the most consequential decision" of his presidency.

Such perceptions only increase what's at stake when Trump addresses the nation in prime time.

"The American people want to hear what the off-ramp for the war is and when it will end," Dan Eberhart, an oil drilling chief executive officer and prominent Republican donor told Fox News Digital.

Eberhart, who is supportive of the president, said: "Trump's base is with him, but many ordinary Americans feel the war is unnecessary. Tonight is Trump's opportunity to explain why this war matters to everyday Americans."

Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham attacked by alleged stalker: report

Long-cold case shattered as DNA links suspect to savage attack, killing of young woman, investigators say

A Georgia man has been arrested in a decades-old cold case of the rape and murder of a young woman over 40 years ago, authorities announced.  

Freddie Lee Granger Jr., 68, was charged with one count of rape, malice murder, aggravated assault and two counts of felony murder in the death of Sandra Kaye Davis, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

Davis was just 22 years old when authorities with the Waycross Police Department discovered her body next to a home on Kollock Street in Waycross Sept. 1, 1984, officials said.

Inside Supreme Court: How Trump heard birthright citizenship arguments

President Donald Trump made an extraordinary appearance Wednesday for Supreme Court arguments — an American presidential first — as his administration seeks to unwind birthright citizenship during two hours of dramatic oral arguments.

The Supreme Court voiced strong pushback against efforts to restrict who can be called an American, a politically divisive case over automatic citizenship for some children born in the United States to foreign nationals.

Trump, wearing a red tie and dark suit, entered the courtroom around nine minutes before the court gaveled into session and did not speak during the session, per court rules.

He closed his eyes for brief times during the session, but looked alert and focused throughout his time in the courtroom, staying for the entire oral presentation by his Solicitor General John Sauer, which lasted about 65 minutes.

THE SUPREME COURT IS GOING TO GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP A MAJOR OPENING ON IMMIGRATION

Chief Justice John Roberts did not acknowledge the president's appearance.

Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Attorney General Pam Bondi were in the front row of the public section and passed some notes to one another before Trump left the courtroom around 11:19 a.m. ET, seven minutes or so into the ACLU lawyer Cecilia Wang’s oral presentation. Trump left without commenting.

Trump later issued a Truth Social post saying, "We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow 'Birthright' Citizenship!"

Trump heard a majority of justices taking turns expressing varying levels of skepticism at the administration's claim that the citizenship "privilege" has been historically abused and wrongly granted to those whose mother gave birth while in the country illegally or temporarily.

At issue is the executive order the president signed on his first day back in office to redefine birthright citizenship, part of a broader crackdown on immigration that has led to increased deportations and decreased admittance of refugees and asylum seekers at the border.

JOHN YOO: SUPREME COURT SHOWDOWN EXPOSES SHAKY CASE AGAINST BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

In the first Supreme Court argument appearance by a sitting president, most of the bench appeared to agree with the post-Civil War's 14th Amendment — and subsequent congressional laws and Supreme Court precedent — all support the idea of making citizens of everyone born in the country, regardless of immigration status.

Roberts, appointed by Republican George W. Bush, questioned the government's legal position when it came to the 14th Amendment's limited exceptions to citizenship.

"The examples you give to support that strike me as very quirky," Roberts said. "You know, children of ambassadors, children of enemies during a hostile invasion, children on warships — and then you expand it to a whole class of illegal aliens who are here in the country.

"I'm not quite sure how you can get to that big group from such tiny, and sort of idiosyncratic, examples."

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wondered how determining citizenship would be applied in practical terms if immigrant mothers gave birth.

SUPREME COURT'S SHOWDOWN ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP DECISION COULD RESHAPE AMERICA

"How does this work?" Jackson asked U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer. "Are you suggesting that when a baby is born, people have to have documents present? Documents? Is this happening in the delivery room?

"How are we determining when or whether a newborn child is a citizen of the United States under your rule?"

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Sameul Alito — both confirmed to the bench before Trump's first administration — sounded mostly likely to back Trump's position.

"How much of the debates around the 14th Amendment had anything to do with immigration?" Thomas asked early in the argument, saying it was designed to give newly freed slaves citizenship, and does not necessarily apply to children of newly arrived immigrants.

All lower federal courts that have heard various challenges to the birthright citizenship order have ruled against the administration.

An expected definitive high-court ruling against Trump by early summer could have sweeping national implications — and possibly slow momentum — for Trump's get-tough immigration agenda, which has become a defining feature of his second White House term.

Plane lost engine power before crashing into Phoenix-area homes, NTSB says

A small plane that crashed into two Phoenix homes last month, injuring three people, appeared to have lost engine power moments after takeoff, federal investigators said.

The National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report that the Piper PA-28-140 experienced rapidly declining engine performance shortly after departing from Deer Valley Airport on March 4, forcing the instructor to attempt an emergency return.

The aircraft, carrying a flight instructor and student pilot, had climbed to roughly 1,700 feet before turning back toward the airport. But the plane was unable to make it.

The engine’s RPM dropped to about 600 to 700 and began vibrating before briefly stabilizing, the report said. Despite the pilot’s efforts to restore power, the engine continued to deteriorate before it completely failed just 5 to 10 seconds before impact.

SMALL PLANE CRASHES INTO PHOENIX HOME MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF, INJURING 3

Investigators reviewed home surveillance footage from the neighborhood that shows the small plane flying low over houses before it entered a shallow right turn, dropping its right wing. The wing struck the roof of a home before slamming into an exterior wall of a second home next door. The plane came to rest in the backyard of the second home.

Aerial footage of the aftermath showed wreckage scattered across the roof, including the plane’s right wing still lodged in the roof, while the fuselage sat crumpled in the backyard.

The crash shocked residents, one of whom described the impact to FOX10 Phoenix as sounding like "a bomb went off."

The NTSB said weather conditions were clear at the time, ruling out environmental factors and pointing attention toward mechanical issues as a key focus of the investigation.

Investigators are now examining the engine and wreckage, which has been recovered to a secure facility, to determine what caused the loss of power.

Pirro blasts DC Council for fueling teen violence, 'criminal chaos' as juvenile curfews set to expire

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro warned of a potential increase in teenage violence, accusing D.C. Council members of fueling "criminal chaos."

Pirro joined "Fox & Friends" Wednesday to discuss the D.C. Council delaying a vote to extend teen curfews. She argued it is part of a culture of allowing young criminals to get away unscathed.

"The mentality in D.C. is that, if you're less than 18 years of age, unless you kill somebody or do something really serious, it goes to the family court, where the purpose is simply what is in the best interest of the child," Pirro said.

"There is no punishment, there is no retribution, there is no deterrence. You can go to an ice cream social or yoga," she added.

DOZENS OF HOUSE DEMS VOTE AGAINST CRACKDOWN ON DC YOUTH CRIME AFTER TRUMP BACKS OFF CAPITAL POLICE

On Tuesday, the D.C. Council delayed a vote on extending the curfews until the next legislative session on April 21. The curfews, however, are set to expire April 15.

The delay comes as officials report a rise in "teen takeovers," where large groups gather, sometimes damaging businesses and sparking violence. The Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., was the site of one of these meetups, where several minors were assaulted and robbed, according to authorities.

"These alleged social gatherings turn into criminal chaos," Pirro said. "Families are affected by it, businesses end up being shuttered, there’s violence that occurs."

The takeovers, which can include hundreds of people, have taken place across the country, including in New York City, Chicago and Florida. More than a dozen teenagers were taken into custody after a fight broke out during a "takeover" event at a mall in Glendale, Wisconsin.

PIRRO CREDITS 'ENHANCED FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP' FOR DC'S FIRST HOMICIDE-FREE STRETCH IN DECADES

Pirro argued these incidents are encouraged by what she described as a lack of deterrence in the criminal justice system and called for stricter consequences for youth offenders.

She noted that in many cases, by the time a suspect is 18, their record already includes shootings, carjackings and robberies.

"Then all of a sudden, we’re surprised to see them committing a murder by the time I get them, because there is no deterrence," she said.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser expressed her disappointment in the council for allowing the "juvenile curfew zones to expire." She called on council members to reconsider their decision not to act on renewing the measure.

"We all want our young people to be able to socialize in age-appropriate ways and in environments that are safe for themselves, for their peers, and for the entire community," Bowser wrote on X.

"But as adults, we cannot abdicate our responsibility to respond to behaviors that put young people or our community at risk."

In 2025, President Donald Trump deployed hundreds of National Guard members to the nation’s capital to help reduce crime.

Luigi Mangione's federal trial stays on track as judge rejects defense push for delay

The judge overseeing accused Ivy League assassin Luigi Mangione's federal case shrugged off his defense team's push to have the trial delayed, saying she doesn't want to be "held hostage" by the schedule of a state court judge handling another case against him.

U.S. Marshals escorted Mangione into the courtroom at 11:24 a.m. He wore a tan jail jumpsuit with his sleeves rolled up, leg shackles and no handcuffs.

The judge entered a minute later.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo, one of Mangione's lead defense lawyers, asked for several months of extra time, saying Mangione's legal team needed to prepare for the federal case after his state trial.

"I don't think what we're asking for is unreasonable," she said.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Dominic Gentile argued that the defense’s logistical concerns could be addressed by changing the jury questionnaire schedule, which was set for a capital case. Mangione no longer faces the potential death penalty.

He added that both cases are expected to rely on the same facts and witnesses.

Judge Margaret Garnett said she was more concerned about the jury selection process rather than trial prep — telling the parties she doesn't envision a particularly complex proceeding.

She said her role is to ensure Mangione gets a fair trial in her courtroom, and she said whatever happens in the state case is not her concern.

Mangione faces numerous charges at the state and federal level in connection with the December 2024 assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two from Minnesota who was in New York City for a work conference when a gunman snuck up behind him and opened fire.

The state trial, scheduled to take place before his federal trial, is expected to garner massive public attention and make jury selection more difficult, she explained.

LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST

"I'm a little troubled," she said.

After a roughly 30-minute hearing, she proposed keeping close to the schedule put forth in February, with jury selection in the fall and opening statements on Oct. 26 or Nov. 2.

The federal hearing came just under a month after a New York judge told Mangione's defense to be ready for the state trial on June 8. Judge Gregory Carro had floated the idea of delaying it only if the federal trial was delayed first.

Bailiffs escorted Mangione out of that hearing after an unexpected outburst in which he claimed to be the victim of double jeopardy.

"It’s the same trial twice," he said. "One plus one is two. Double jeopardy by any common sense."

Both courts have dismissed the most severe counts, but Mangione still faces life in prison if convicted. He also faces lesser charges in Pennsylvania, where police arrested him in a McDonald's restaurant, in connection with the case.

Banking tech data breach exposes 672K in ransomware attack

If you've ever trusted your bank to keep your financial data safe, this incident will hit close to home.

A behind-the-scenes tech company used by banks has revealed that more than 672,000 people had sensitive personal and financial information stolen in a ransomware attack. That includes details that criminals can use to drain accounts, open loans, or impersonate you.

What makes this more concerning is that the company is not a household name, so you likely never knew your data was even there.

HOW TO SAFELY VIEW YOUR BANK AND RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS ONLINE
 

Marquis, a fintech company based in Texas, provides data analytics tools to hundreds of banks. Banks rely on Marquis to study customer behavior and improve services, which means Marquis has access to highly sensitive financial and personal data.

In August 2025, hackers reportedly gained access to Marquis' systems and carried out a ransomware attack. The company now says at least 672,075 people were affected. More than half of them are in Texas, but customers across multiple regions are involved.

The stolen data reportedly includes names, dates of birth, home addresses, bank account details, debit and credit card numbers, and even Social Security numbers. That combination is enough to commit serious identity fraud.

Marquis later filed a lawsuit against its firewall provider, SonicWall, claiming that a security flaw may have allowed attackers to steal critical configuration files. According to the lawsuit, those files gave hackers a roadmap into Marquis' network, which they used to steal data and deploy ransomware.

The lawsuit goes further, alleging that SonicWall failed to properly secure its cloud backup system, which exposed firewall configuration files, encrypted credentials and detailed network architecture tied to customer environments. Marquis claims this level of access effectively gave attackers a blueprint of its defenses. Marquis also alleges that SonicWall knew its cloud backup service had been compromised but did not promptly disclose the full scope of the breach. According to the complaint, the company initially reassured customers that firewall protections were not affected, delaying Marquis' ability to take protective action. The complaint further alleges gross negligence, arguing that SonicWall failed to uphold basic cybersecurity responsibilities expected of a security provider.

CyberGuy reached out to Marquis for comment, and a spokesperson provided the following statement:

"In August 2025, Marquis Marketing Services identified a data security incident and immediately enacted our incident response protocols, including proactively taking affected systems offline to protect our data and our customers' information. We engaged leading third-party cybersecurity experts to conduct a comprehensive investigation and notified law enforcement.

In September 2025, after the data security incident affected our systems, our firewall service provider, an industry-leading cybersecurity company, publicly disclosed that a threat actor had earlier in the year gained unauthorized access to its cloud backup service. Marquis had recently begun using this provider's firewalls to help protect our network. While the provider initially reported that fewer than 5% of customers were affected, it later clarified in October 2025 that firewall configuration data and credentials associated with all customers using the cloud backup service, including Marquis, had been accessed.

We know our customers place great trust in us, and we take that responsibility seriously. Protecting information remains our highest priority, and we continue to enhance our security measures in response to the evolving cyber threat landscape. We are grateful for the cooperation, understanding and support of our employees and customers throughout this process."

We also reached out to SonicWall for comment, but did not hear back before our deadline.

WHY SCAMMERS OPEN BANK ACCOUNTS IN YOUR NAME
 

This attack did not target you directly. Instead, it hit a company that sits in the middle of the banking system. That is what makes it dangerous. Think of it like this: you lock your house, but someone breaks into the security company that manages keys for your entire neighborhood. Suddenly, they can unlock multiple homes without ever touching your door.

In this case, hackers reportedly gained access to firewall configuration files. These are like blueprints that show how a company's defenses are set up. With that information, attackers can find weak spots and slip in without setting off alarms.

Security experts warn that when firewall configuration files and credentials are exposed, attackers can more easily map out a network, identify vulnerabilities and bypass protections that would normally stop an intrusion.

Once inside, they copied sensitive data and likely encrypted systems to demand a ransom. Even if the company restores operations, your data is already out there.

Criminals can use your Social Security number and financial details to open credit cards, take loans, or access your bank accounts. They can also combine your data with other leaks to create convincing scams that look legitimate. You might receive calls, emails, or messages that seem to come from your bank but are actually attempts to steal more information.

If your information was exposed, or even if you're not sure, taking action now can reduce your risk of fraud, identity theft, and unauthorized access to your accounts.

To see if your email was affected, visit Have I Been Pwned at haveibeenpwned.com. It is the first and official source for this newly added dataset. Enter your email address to find out if your information appears in the Synthient leak.  When done, come back here for Step 2.

Start with your most important accounts, such as email, medical and banking. Use strong, unique passwords with letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid predictable choices like names or birthdays. Never reuse passwords. One stolen password can unlock multiple accounts.  A password manager makes this simple. It stores complex passwords securely and helps you create new ones. Many managers also scan for breaches to see if your current passwords have been exposed. See my review of the Best Password Managers of 2026 at Cyberguy.com.

Check your transactions at least once every few days, not just when your monthly statement arrives. Look for small, unfamiliar charges because criminals often test accounts with tiny transactions before attempting larger withdrawals. Catching this early gives you a better chance of stopping further damage.

If your Social Security number may be exposed, consider placing a fraud alert or freezing your credit. This makes it harder for criminals to open new accounts in your name. A freeze is a stronger protection because lenders must verify your identity before issuing credit.

WHY A CREDIT FREEZE ISN’T THE END OF IDENTITY THEFT
 

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible, especially for banking and email accounts. This adds a second step, like a code sent to your phone, which makes it much harder for someone to access your accounts even if they have your password.

With breaches like this, your information can end up on the dark web without you knowing. If you find your information is out there, take it seriously and consider removing your data where possible or using a data removal service to limit further exposure. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com.

With your personal details exposed in the Marquis data breach, scammers can craft messages that feel legitimate. Be cautious of calls or emails claiming to be from your bank asking for verification or urgent action. Always contact your bank directly using official numbers instead of responding to those messages. Also, avoid clicking links you don't recognize. The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have strong antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at Cyberguy.com.

These services monitor your personal information across credit reports, dark web marketplaces, and financial systems. They can alert you quickly if your identity is being misused, giving you a chance to act before serious damage occurs. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at Cyberguy.com.

Make sure your phone, computer, and apps are up to date with the latest security patches. Install trusted antivirus software to detect malicious activity. While this breach did not happen on your device, attackers often follow up with malware-based scams. 

This breach highlights a growing problem you rarely see. Your data does not just live with your bank. It is shared across a network of third-party companies that you have never heard of, yet they hold enough information to expose your entire financial identity. When one of them fails, the consequences fall on you. The legal battle between Marquis and SonicWall also raises a bigger question about accountability. When cybersecurity providers themselves are accused of exposing sensitive infrastructure and delaying disclosure, it shows how quickly trust can break down across the entire system.

Should companies that handle your financial data face automatic penalties when breaches expose hundreds of thousands of people? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com.

Should you microdose Ozempic? Experts are split on risks vs benefits

The rise of GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) has introduced new approaches to both weight loss and overall metabolic health.

Some users have found that microdosing, or taking the drug in small amounts, achieves the best health outcomes, but some experts warn against it.

In a previous interview with Fox News Digital, Dr. Terry Dubrow, a plastic surgeon and TV personality based in Newport Beach, California, recommended that everyone takes a low daily dose, even if they don’t need to lose weight.

DOCTOR REVEALS SECRETS TO LASTING WEIGHT LOSS WITHOUT COUNTING CALORIES

"I am obsessed with the concept of microdosing," he said. "I think maybe half the starting dose for diabetes is the way to go — and you probably don't need it every seven days, it's probably every 10 days, just to sort of modulate the amount of sugar in the blood."

The approach has gained popularity on social media, as influencers and self-proclaimed "health gurus" have promoted it even for people without diabetes or obesity.

In a recent episode of the Full Send podcast, Bryan Johnson, a venture capitalist and online creator who aims to reverse aging and extend human lifespan, shared that he microdoses Ozempic.

WHY MICRODOSING OZEMPIC COULD BECOME AS COMMON AS TAKING A MULTIVITAMIN

"There are some side effects. For example, the dose I'm on raises my resting heart rate by two or three beats, which is a big deal for me, but the benefits are great," he said.

"GLP-1s are the first legit longevity drug," he went on. "It’s an amazing drug … There’s just nothing that rivals its efficacy."

Johnson suggested that a future where most people are microdosing GLP-1s is "not too far off."

"I am as healthy as a person can be, and I still benefit from GLP-1s," he said. "It has other metabolic effects, it has good neuroprotective effects."

Despite these claims, some weight-loss experts find this approach to be not only more costly, but also less effective.

Dr. Andre Teixeira, a bariatric surgeon with the Orlando Health Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Institute, told Fox News Digital that microdosing is "truly dependent" on the individual.

"The concern is there is no true protocol for it," he said. "We do not do microdosing at our practice."

While some people may think microdosing is cheaper, the doctor claims it can be "more expensive in the long run."

"[That's] because you’re adjusting the dose and then not getting the full benefits of the medication," he said. "I see people who get frustrated that they are not achieving the weight-loss goal they were hoping for because they are spreading out their doses."

"The risk is that you’re not only playing with the potential benefits, but you’re also playing with the side effects, like nausea and vomiting."

The expert recommends working closely with a healthcare provider before starting a GLP-1. "I do not encourage microdosing on your own," he added.

Repeat offender allegedly stabs pregnant mom in random grocery store parking lot attack 'with a steak knife'

A pregnant mom getting her child from her car was approached by a North Carolina repeat offender who stabbed her with a steak knife, police said.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) announced the arrest of Marvina Butler-Hardy. She is accused of stabbing a pregnant woman outside in the parking lot of the Harris Teeter in Cotswold on March 18.

The pregnant woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery. 

The stabbing appeared to be a random act, with detectives saying the victim and suspect did not know each other and had no previous interactions.

Authorities allege that Butler approached the female victim at the popular grocery chain at approximately 11:30 a.m.

The 38-year-old pregnant woman told WSOC-TV she was getting her toddler out of her car when the woman who pulled out of the space behind her stopped her car, got out, cursed at her, and attacked her with a knife.

"I was facing my toddler, getting him out of his seat, and thankfully turned around, and she was coming at me with a steak knife," the victim, who asked not to be identified, told the local outlet.

"I pushed and kicked and screamed, and thankfully I think that scared her off," she said.

GOT A TIP?

The victim was stabbed in the sternum, but she and her unborn child are OK, WSOC-TV reported.

Following the seemingly random attack, CMPD released surveillance video of the suspect, later identified as Butler, and a "Be On The Lookout" for her vehicle.

On Monday, a Florida State Highway Patrol trooper spotted a silver Hyundai traveling south on I-95.

The trooper pulled Butler over on I-95 and she gave him an ID card instead of a license and when asked why, she said her license was suspended, WSOC-TV reported. The trooper provided the name of the woman he pulled over to another trooper who confirmed she was the suspect in the Cotswold stabbing.
