The Terriers came into the game as the No. 4 seed in the conference tournament. The Midshipmen had the best record in the conference and were the No. 1 seed. The game was tied at 70 apiece with Navy inbounding the ball from the other side of the court and about 8.4 seconds left in the game.
Navy’s Austin Benigni received the pass and took the ball coast-to-coast for the go-ahead layup.
Boston’ Chance Gladden received the ball quickly in a last-ditch effort to try to put the Terriers back up. He dribbled up the court, went behind his back as he crossed mid-court and threw up a prayer from well beyond the 3-point line. It went in.

The Terriers improved to 17-16 on the season and still have hopes that they could punch their ticket to the dance with a win in the Patriot League Championship. Navy, with a record of 26-7, may be on the outside looking into the NCAA Tournament this season.
Gladden finished with 26 points on 8-of-12 from the field. He made three 3-pointers and had four assists to his credit. Michael McNair added 22 points.
Navy’s Aidan Kehoe had 26 points, 12 rebounds and five steals in the loss. Benigni added 17 points.
Boston will play Lehigh in the Patriot League Championship on Wednesday.

Former Prince Andrew's daughters face royal exile as experts warn York brand is 'washed up' after his arrest
Rumors swirling about former Prince Andrew's daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, are lowering the Yorks' credibility, according to royal experts.
Last week, the Daily Mail spoke with the producer behind Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's disastrous BBC "Newsnight" interview, Sam McAlister. She claimed that Princess Beatrice was the "rainmaker" in the family. That term is usually used to describe someone who pulls off major financial deals, according to the outlet.
"In my view, when Princess Beatrice came along unexpectedly to the face-to-face negotiation, which happened just three days before this interview physically happened, I called her the 'rainmaker.'
"The reason is because she was protecting her father’s interests. She was super-polite, super-nice, super-friendly. But in that room with the people that were there, she was the one that had his interest purely at heart," McAlister said.
Helena Chard, a British royal expert, told Fox News Digital that Beatrice attended a meeting prior to the "Newsnight" interview "in a caring daughter capacity."
"Much to everyone’s surprise, Andrew arrived with a supportive Beatrice in tow. Beatrice, the glue to the ‘Newsnight’ setup, aided camaraderie and a relaxed positive vibe. Beatrice’s strong presence reassured Andrew that all would be well, that the ‘Newsnight’ interview was a good idea and a good way to clear his name," Chard began.
She continued, "Andrew’s credibility tumbled. In hindsight, it was ridiculous that there was no legal representative fighting Andrew’s corner. Many believe that Andrew's daughter Beatrice, a skilled negotiator and networker, acted as his wrangler. This is a bold insinuation. She attended a key meeting a few days prior to the interview. However, she attended in a caring daughter capacity."
SARAH FERGUSON'S WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN AS FORMER PRINCE ANDREW’S SHOCK ARREST ON BIRTHDAY ROCKS ROYALS
Hilary Fordwich, another royal expert, told Fox News Digital that Andrew deciding to lean on his daughter further proves his arrogance.
"It also indicates further arrogance on Andrew’s part that nor did he see the need for top-notch professional advice and counsel. His lack of proper preparation as well as total disregard for any risk or crisis management counsel contributed to the disastrous result of the ‘car crash’ interview," Fordwich said.
"There is a great degree of anti-York sentiment in the U.K., as recent polls indicate. Her credibility and any future work for charities and indeed being accepted at all hinges on distancing herself from Andrew's scandals. She is going to be sidelined from all future royal engagements, with Ascot being the most recent example. The York brand is washed up," she continued.
A family friend of Beatrice and Eugenie told People that "they want to hold on to their royal status. It’s their identity." After Andrew's titles were stripped in 2025, there have been questions about whether his daughters will be able to keep theirs.
Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that King Charles, his wife Camilla and Prince William have a "soft spot" for Beatrice and Eugenie.
"The sisters were seen during pandemic times and then, during the cancer treatment of Charles and Kate, were seen to be a very useful asset covering royal engagements which took some of the burden away from more senior royals," Turner said.
"So that will stand them in good stead for the future. It is known that Charles, Camilla and William have a soft spot for the two girls."
Fordwich told Fox News Digital that the royal family tends to distance themselves from all controversy and "the Yorks are simply too toxic."
Chard said the British public's patience is "well and truly frayed," which may keep Andrew's daughters out of the public eye.
"Princess Beatrice continues to be under intense media scrutiny, reportedly mortified and tearful with the backlash as she loosely helped organize the interviews. Behind the scenes, we are heading towards a slimmed-down monarchy," she began.
Chard continued, "The general consensus is we won’t be seeing much of Beatrice and Eugenie in the U.K. However, their royal status will still be intact within some circles, just not U.K. royal circles. The U.K. public's patience is well and truly frayed."
Andrew was arrested on Feb. 19 — his birthday — on suspicion of misconduct in public office during an inquiry linked to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein. He is accused of sharing confidential trade information with the late convicted sex offender.
The late Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite son is the first senior British royal to be arrested since King Charles I nearly 400 years ago. After being held for about 11 hours, Thames Valley Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that Andrew was released.
The whereabouts of Beatrice and Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, remain unclear. The Daily Mail reported that she was last publicly seen leaving Royal Lodge, her ex-husband’s former 30-room estate, in September.
Although they divorced in 1996, the pair continued living there together. Her last social media post, also in September, commemorated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

To date, Eugenie and Beatrice have not released a public statement.
Andrew appears in multiple documents among the 3 million pages related to Epstein released by the U.S. Department of Justice, including emails from Ferguson referencing their daughters. Inclusion in those files does not imply wrongdoing.

People reported that Andrew sent Epstein family Christmas cards in 2011 and 2012 featuring photos of Beatrice and Eugenie.
Epstein was convicted in 2008 on one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of procuring a minor for prostitution. He served 13 months in jail and later died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on new charges.
Andrew announced in October that he was giving up his royal titles, and the palace confirmed later that month that the king had "initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew."
The decision followed Andrew’s initial step back from public life in 2019 after his BBC interview, in which he discussed his relationship with Epstein. On Feb. 3, Andrew vacated Royal Lodge, three months after the king ordered him to surrender his lease.

GOP senator calls for Trump to remove adviser Stephen Miller
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., called on President Donald Trump to remove long-time adviser Stephen Miller from the administration on Sunday, describing him as an "embarrassment" and a "big problem" for the administration.
The North Carolina Republican’s comments come on the heels of the high-profile firing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week. Tillis, speaking on CNN’s "State of the Union," suggested that Miller should be the next official to exit the West Wing in his latest shot at the top aide.
"It gives me pause that you have people like Stephen Miller calling the shots," Tillis told host Jake Tapper. "It was Stephen Miller that was talking about a terrorist brandishing a gun. It was Stephen Miller who said it was the position of the United States that we should go after Greenland. It was Stephen Miller who has been repeatedly responsible for embarrassment for the President of the United States by acting too quickly. Speaking first and thinking later."
STEPHEN MILLER: THE US MILITARY IS NOT FIGHTING ‘POLITICALLY CORRECT’
Tillis, who is not running for reelection, specifically took aim at Miller’s role in orchestrating the administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. While the GOP remains largely unified on the need for border security, Tillis argued that Miller’s methods and public rhetoric—including comments regarding the shooting death of Alex Pretti—have become a liability.
When asked directly by Tapper if he believes Miller should be fired, Tillis was unequivocal, "Oh, of course I do."
"He's not worried about substance. He's more worried about form," Tillis continued. "But I also think that he has an outsized influence over the operations of the Cabinet. And I believe we've got qualified Cabinet members there that sometimes are doing less than what they want to because of his direction and his outsized influence."
"He's a big problem in this administration, he has been from the beginning," he added.
Tillis has been a longtime critic of Miller and Noem's handling of deportation efforts. Earlier this year, he blamed the two officials for hurting Trump's legacy and was the first GOP senator to call for Noem to step down. He's also previously called for Miller's ouster.
GOP SENATORS TANGLE WITH NOEM DURING HEATED HEARING ON HER HANDLING OF DEPORTATION SURGE
Miller, known as the architect of some of the administration’s most aggressive immigration policies, is widely considered one of Trump's most loyal and influential advisers. This high profile has attracted criticism but has also garnered him strong support from Republicans and Trump supporters.
A White House official pointed to a Hill report last month where Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., led more than a dozen of his Republican colleagues in defending Miller and the "instrumental" role he has played in the administration.
"People can disagree with Stephen on rhetoric, and they can disagree with him on policy, but the question is, ‘Is Stephen Miller in jeopardy in Trump World?’ Absolutely not," Graham said.
"Because of him and other members of the President’s team, critical priorities like stopping deadly fentanyl, unleashing America’s energy, and bringing much-needed economic relief for working families are now a reality for Pennsylvania," Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., said.

Search for Nancy Guthrie enters 5th week, cadaver dogs on hold
TUCSON, Ariz. — More than five weeks after the suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie — the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie — Arizona authorities say cadaver dogs used earlier in the investigation are not currently being deployed as the search continues.
The elder Guthrie is believed to have been kidnapped from her home in the Catalina Foothills in northern Tucson around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1.
While no suspects have been publicly identified, and she has not been found, cadaver dogs had been deployed earlier in the case, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. They have not been visible in weeks.
"They are available if needed in the future," he told Fox News Digital.
There are a number of reasons not to be using cadaver dogs at this stage in the investigation, according to Betsy Brantner Smith, a retired police sergeant and spokeswoman for the National Police Association.
NANCY GUTHRIE'S NEIGHBORS FLAG CAMERA GLITCHING, EXPERTS EXPLAIN WI-FI JAMMING
One would be if there’s credible information that Guthrie is still alive.
"Anything is possible," Nanos told Fox News Digital last week, adding that he would not discuss specific leads or evidence in the case.
DNA IS STILL PENDING AS VOLUNTEERS FIND ANOTHER GLOVE IN THE SEARCH FOR NANCY GUTHRIE
Brantner Smith, who is not involved in the case, said departments may hold back K-9 resources for several reasons. Those could be that authorities don’t have a good idea of where to search, they think she might be concealed in a place where dogs would have a hard time detecting her, or they believe she’s been taken to Mexico, according to Brantner Smith.
"I do believe that the sheriff's department has much more information that they are not releasing to the public," she told Fox News Digital. "And I'm not sure at this point why that would be, unless they have a solid suspect and don't want to tip them off."

Most departments, including the Pima County Sheriff’s, don’t have their own cadaver dogs and borrow them from state and federal authorities or neighboring jurisdictions.
In Guthrie’s case, the sheriff’s department sought K-9 assistance from the local Border Patrol office earlier in the investigation.

PCSD deferred further comment on the K-9s to Customs and Border Protection, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump’s strike on Iran deals a major blow to Putin’s war machine in Ukraine
Within hours of American munitions striking Iranian soil, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted a statement that the Western press largely treated as a diplomatic footnote, but it was a signal that what happens in the skies over Tehran has a direct impact on the ground in Ukraine.
President Zelenskyy explicitly endorsed the strikes, called Iran "Putin's accomplice," noted that his country has absorbed over 57,000 Iranian-supplied drone attacks, and took aim at Moscow: "Whenever there is American resolve, global criminals weaken. This understanding must also come to the Russians."
Zelenskyy’s framing of the war in Iran through the lens of Ukraine's war is not incidental. Whatever Washington's stated objectives, the president, who has lived through the Ukraine conflict since the 2022 invasion, understands that Iran has been an active accomplice in Russia's war against Ukraine, and the United States has now acted against that accomplice.
THE FUTURE OF WAR? US-ISRAEL BLITZ ON IRAN UNVEILS NEXT-GEN ALLIED COMBAT
By striking the Iranian regime that provided the Shahed drones to Russia (and the ability to manufacture them) that have terrorized the Ukrainian civilian population for over four years, Washington has taken out a key Russian ally, which will negatively impact Russia’s ability to wage war in Europe.
When Iranian-provided drones began falling on Kyiv in October 2022, reducing apartment blocks to rubble and plunging cities into darkness, the world quickly learned a new word: Shahed. The Shahed-136 is not a sophisticated weapon. It is not fast (though Russian improvements have increased its capabilities significantly). It is not quite as precise as a cruise missile. What it is, and what it was always designed to be in Russia's hands, is a weapon of civilian terror.
Russian Shahed’s targets power stations and apartment buildings. The destruction they reap contributes to the blackouts that leave families without light and heat in winter. It is the triangular silhouette Ukrainians have learned to dread in the night sky, the low distinctive buzz from its propeller that sends people running for shelters. I have watched Shaheds glide through Ukrainian airspace toward civilian targets. I have stood with interceptor teams in the darkness doing everything they could to bring Shaheds down before they found their targets. The images of these drones flying into buildings in Kyiv represent the human toll of Iran’s pernicious contribution to the war in Ukraine.
By early 2023, Iran signed a $1.75 billion contract for additional drones and complete manufacturing blueprints. Russia subsequently built its own production facility in Tatarstan. Ukrainian intelligence estimates Russia now produces up to 1,000 modified Geran drones per day using Iranian-derived technology. In essence, Tehran handed Moscow the blueprint for a terror campaign against civilians that Russia has since industrialized on its own soil.
CHINA PLEDGES AID TO UKRAINE AS US OFFICIALS WARN BEIJING IS QUIETLY FUELING RUSSIA’S WAR
Beyond drones, Iran delivered nearly $3 billion in ballistic and surface-to-air missiles before and during the invasion, including hundreds of Fath-360 ballistic missiles, numerous anti-aircraft systems, and hundreds of thousands of artillery shells, with total weapons value exceeding $4 billion.
Iranian munitions replenished Russia’s stockpile, dashing Western hopes that Russia might quickly run out of shells, drones, and missiles. In return, Russia offered Iran S-400 air defense systems, Su-35 fighter jets, nuclear reactor construction and geopolitical cover at the U.N. Security Council. A 20-year strategic partnership was formalized in early 2024. This was an axis built across military, nuclear, financial, and diplomatic dimensions, and due to U.S. action in Iran, this axis has crumbled in spectacular fashion. In a recent statement, Russian Foreign Minister Dimitry Peskov stated that Russia would not honor its defense agreement with Iran because he signed the agreement with Ayatollah Khameini, and Khamenei has been killed.

However, Russia's most important strategic partner, China, continues to supply vast quantities of microelectronics and components for Russia’s military-industrial complex at a scale Iran could not match. But Beijing has carefully avoided direct lethal hardware transfers to preserve a degree of deniability. Iran, on the other hand, filled the gap China deliberately left open: front-line weapons and production blueprints, deployed without hesitation.
Russia has fully indigenized Shahed production, even improving on the original design with the more sophisticated and expensive Geran variants. The Iranian government’s 50-year legacy of terror will live on not only in Middle Eastern states, but in Europe for as long as the war in Ukraine continues.
With the U.S. campaign promising to last for at least several weeks, Iran's capacity to supply additional ballistic missiles is now compromised. Its ability to upgrade drone designs at home and deliver replacement components is degraded. Moreover, every Russian asset potentially diverted to shield a battered Iran, air defense systems, aircraft components, logistics, is an asset unavailable in Zaporizhzhia or Kherson. Moscow is now burdened by a weakened, desperate partner at precisely the moment it can least afford the distraction.
This represents a different kind of pressure on Russia than sanctions or battlefield aid — one that works through the partnership networks and supply chains that have sustained the Russian war effort. Zelenskyy's prescient statement that every act of aggression ultimately meets a just response was directed towards Moscow and Tehran. While Ukraine was not Washington's primary consideration when President Trump decided to strike Iran, the calculus of the war in Ukraine will become more complicated for Russia, and that’s a good thing for Ukrainians fighting for their very right to survive.
All 4 Iran war assumptions dead wrong — Trump proves experts got fooled again
In these early days of Operation Epic Fury, while much remains unknown, one thing has become clear: how little the conventional wisdom about foreign policy in Washington, D.C., has to do with the realities taking shape on the battlefield. Traditionally, four things were assumed to be near inevitable if the United States and/or Israel were to take significant military action against Iran:
All four assumptions are dead wrong.
Obviously, the supreme leader was not untouchable. He was eliminated in one of the opening strikes of the mission, along with much of Iran’s senior leadership. His arrogant foolishness in gathering that leadership together was in fact the opportunity that prompted Epic Fury in the first place.
THE FUTURE OF WAR? US-ISRAEL BLITZ ON IRAN UNVEILS NEXT-GEN ALLIED COMBAT
But that did not prevent the survivors from organizing a succession meeting on Tuesday, March 3, which was in turn targeted. The demoralized remnants of the regime are now attempting to re-establish command and control with little in terms of structure or internal communications.
In addition, the predicted mass regional attack on Israel has not materialized. Because of Iran’s disastrous decision to launch missiles against its neighbors — even those who had been acting as its mediators, such as Qatar and Oman — the region has unified not against Israel, but against Iran.
There are even reports of Arab nations potentially participating in the strikes on Iran. The Abraham Accords, although under strain since the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, have held.
LIZ PEEK: DEMOCRATS RAGE OVER TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKES AS EXILES CHEER AYATOLLAH’S FALL
Iran’s terrorist proxies, rather than rising up to attack Israel, have been remarkably inactive given their patron’s desperate straits. Hamas in Gaza has been all but silent. Hezbollah in Lebanon have fired some rockets, but nothing like the overwhelming barrage of precision-guided missiles that was once feared. The Houthi in Yemen have stuck to threats rather than attacks. None of them appear to be interested in a multi-front war against the combined might the U.S. and Israel have demonstrated.
While it is true that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have put out strong statements condemning the American action, they have actually done precious little to support their supposed ally Iran, which is reportedly registering complaints about the quality of the missile-defense systems they supplied.
And America, rather than being isolated, is re-established as the pre-eminent military power on the planet, while Russia and China hardly look like reliable partners. Even our originally timorous European allies have come around to supporting the mission.
PENTAGON POLICY CHIEF GRILLED AS DEM CLAIMS TRUMP BROKE PROMISE ABOUT GOING TO WAR WITH IRAN
Of course, this is a real war, and no one is claiming it will be neat or simple. It’s a difficult mission that has already and will continue to cost American lives and treasure to successfully prosecute. But there’s no denying it is very different from what the so-called "experts" have predicted for the last 47 years.
So, while success is far from guaranteed, this new reality presents several opportunities as well as risks, and should prompt a reassessment of other assumptions that have constrained American action against Iran for so long.
President Donald Trump has a history of doing things in the Middle East that had been declared impossible. Experts knew that moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would cause a massive regional attack on Israel. Eliminating Qasam Soleimani would ignite a regional war. Additional regional normalization between Israel and regional neighbors could not be reached until there was a two-state solution with the Palestinians.

Another piece of conventional wisdom Trump seems poised to disprove is the so-called "Pottery Barn Rule" for regime change — "you break it, you buy it." This dictate that the U.S. had to rebuild a hostile country once its government was removed — even if that government had supported a vicious attack on our own soil — led to catastrophic mission creep in Afghanistan and Iraq as, after the success of those military campaigns, attempts to remake those countries dragged on for decades and ended in failure.
America should not repeat this error. Presumably, Trump will want to bring the kinetic phase of this mission to a close as soon as his objectives are achieved. Then we will see if the Iranian people will take advantage of the best opportunity they have had since the revolution to reclaim their government.
Iran is, after all, a country, not a piece of crockery in a store, and President Trump’s mission is not nation-building. It is to give the American people the opportunity to go through the next half-century freed from the deadly threat of the Islamic Republic, especially if that regime were to acquire a nuclear weapon.
It would be even better to go through that period with a prosperous and secure partner in what the new Iran becomes. And that future will ultimately be for the people of Iran to secure.
Archaeologists uncover gold-laden tomb filled with elite burial treasures from over 1,000 years ago
Archaeologists recently unearthed a gold-laden burial in Panama — an epic discovery that dates back over 1,000 years.
The Ministry of Culture of Panama announced the discovery, made at the El Caño archaeological site in Panama's Coclé Province.
The tomb contained several gold and metal artifacts, including chest plates, ear ornaments and bracelets, as well as "finely crafted ceramics." The tomb is called Tomb 3.
POLICE STUMBLE UPON ANCIENT SHIPWRECK AMID ROUTINE PATROL, KEEP LOCATION SECRET TO DETER LOOTERS
Though archaeologists first identified Tomb 3 in 2009, they didn't realize the complexity of the structure — or the extent of its funerary offerings — until now.
The grave was centered around one individual "surrounded by a series of prestige objects demonstrating his high status within his community’s sociopolitical hierarchy," the ministry said in a translated Feb. 20 statement.
Ministry officials called the discovery a "highly significant event for Panamanian archaeology."
"El Caño has become one of the most important pre-Hispanic cemeteries in the region, associated with societies that inhabited central Panama between the 8th and 11th centuries A.D.," the statement said.
"The new tomb expands the known funerary record and will provide new information on social organization, political power, trade networks, and ritual practices, among other aspects."
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
The gold objects indicate that the person was "high status," said Alexa Hancock, an anthropologist at Fundacion El Caño, the organization that oversaw the excavation.
Hancock told Fox News Digital six gold artifacts have been recovered so far: two breastplates, two arm cuffs and two ear-rods.
The stones in the ear rods have not yet been identified, Hancock said.
The designs on the objects indicate the decedent's family line.
"The gold was used because it was a material that would preserve the message or information of what lineage the people in the tomb belonged to," she noted.

"There is nothing found in this or any other tomb in El Caño so far that identifies any of the individuals buried in the tomb by name."
As for the origin of the gold objects, Hancock described them as "local Panamanian craftsmanship."
"The team at the El Caño Foundation conducted a year-long investigation in 2023 to confirm the origins of artifacts recovered from the [other] tombs [at the site]," she said.
"The artifacts specifically investigated were the gold, emeralds and pyrite mirrors. The gold was confirmed to be Panamanian in origin through elemental analysis and the designs were [from the] Gran Coclé time period."

The latest excavation of the tomb began in January.
It was set to conclude March 6.
Hancock added that work at the site won't be complete until the excavation season of 2027 wraps up.
"At this point, it is unconfirmed even how many individuals are buried in the tomb," she said.
"There are a minimum of three individuals identified — but there are probably more. This tomb is somewhat smaller in general size, more long than round."
SEC TURNER, GOV SANDERS: Why HUD’s proposed rule is a springboard to the American Dream
Public Housing and Section 8 rental assistance in America were created to provide a temporary helping hand to families during times of hardship, not to trap them in long-term dependency. Yet almost half of non-elderly, able-bodied households getting support from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) didn’t have a single person working in 2024. It’s time for a change.
We got here because well-intentioned federal policies drifted away from their original purpose, leaving many people stuck in subsidized housing for years, sometimes decades, while millions of families sit on waiting lists with no help at all.
HUD’s proposed rule aims to correct that drift by restoring a simple, commonsense principle: HUD housing assistance should encourage work, self-sufficiency, and upward mobility while keeping a strong safety net for the elderly and disabled. Under the Trump administration’s proposed regulation, no longer would able-bodied, able-minded individuals be allowed to waste away on welfare with no hope or dignity.
THE BORDER GETS THE ATTENTION WHILE FRAUDULENT GOVERNMENT BENEFITS BLEED TAXPAYERS DRY
Arkansas became the first state in the nation to bring work requirements to the forefront in state law after I, Governor Sanders, signed the Housing Welfare Reform Act of 2023 into law. This commonsense law ensures that an individual who is able to work is required to work, train, or volunteer if they’re living on the taxpayers’ dime. Public housing authorities, however, have not been permitted to require work or limit time under current rules. Without HUD’s proposed rule, Arkansas is unable to enforce the law on the books.
Public housing was never meant to be a hammock, but a springboard to a life of self-sufficiency. Federal housing assistance, as currently structured, disincentivizes work and leads to a long national waitlist for housing assistance for those who need a hand up.
Capable adults receiving assistance are staying longer and longer on welfare. Recent evidence presented to Congress shows that nearly 90% of able-bodied Section 8 voucher recipients will spend more than five years in subsidized housing, and half will spend more than 15 years. It is not uncommon for multiple generations of a family to live in subsidized housing over decades. We must break this hopeless cycle.
There is extensive real-world evidence supporting work requirements and/or time limits on public housing benefits. Across the country, nearly 40 Moving to Work housing agencies have tested work requirements or time limits, showing America that these programs can change lives.
This proposal would finally allow Arkansas to empower all public housing agencies and Section 8 residents in the state to move towards self-sufficiency, as the law intends.
Arkansas will set the example for more states to follow because the Trump administration is empowering state and local leaders who best understand their residents and communities to decide whether and how to implement these policies, within clear regulatory bounds. No longer will there be a one-size-fits-all mandate from Washington.

HUD estimates that under our proposal, between 19,000 and 79,000 families nationally will move out of subsidized housing in the first year, opening doors for new families in need. This is a win-win situation. The families leaving assistance will earn more, contribute more to their own rent and stand on firmer financial ground, while the families finally getting assistance will receive the help they’ve been waiting on for years.
Most importantly, this is about dignity. Work is a pathway to meaning, independence, and stability. Study after study shows that prolonged unemployment erodes well-being, worsens health, decreases life expectancy and harms children’s prospects. By contrast, when adults work, families are healthier, communities are stronger, and futures are brighter. A rising tide lifts all boats
We believe in the potential of our fellow Americans. By restoring federal rental assistance to its intended role as temporary support, we can help more American families build brighter lives and better futures.

A cure for cancer would deliver $185T economic windfall, report says
EXCLUSIVE: For decades, curing cancer has been medicine’s holy grail. Now economists say it could also be the ultimate economic jackpot, delivering an estimated $185 trillion to the U.S. economy.
At a time when policymakers are weighing the cost of medical research against ballooning federal deficits, the report argues that curing cancer would pay for itself many times over.
The report, released by Unleash Prosperity, a free-market policy group, finds that eliminating cancer mortality would not only save millions of lives — it would dramatically strengthen the economy through longer lifespans, increased workforce participation and higher tax revenues.
NEARLY 40% OF CANCERS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH 3 LIFESTYLE CHANGES, STUDY FINDS
The stakes are enormous.
Between 2030 and 2064, researchers project that roughly 30.7 million Americans will die from cancer under the current trajectory — losses that would carry not only a profound human toll, but a sweeping economic cost.
The research, conducted by economists Steve Moore and Tomas Philipson, estimates that fully eliminating cancer mortality would generate $185 trillion in total economic benefits over 35 years.
That translates to roughly $15,000 per American per year, or about $39,000 annually for the average household — gains driven by longer lifespans, stronger workforce participation and expanded economic output.
DEADLY CANCER RISK SPIKES WITH CERTAIN LEVEL OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, STUDY FINDS
Even short of a cure, the economic upside remains substantial. Recognizing that a complete cure may not be immediately achievable, the study models a more realistic scenario in which cancer deaths are reduced by 80% over two decades.
Under that scenario, the projected gains would still total nearly $130 trillion — roughly 70% of the value of full elimination — amounting to about $10,500 per person per year.
Moore said reducing cancer deaths could boost productivity enough to meaningfully accelerate U.S. economic growth.
"If we could substantially reduce cancer deaths, the payoff would be as large as just about anything you can imagine," Moore told Fox News Digital.
"Right now, our economy has been growing at about 3%. We could probably increase that rate by a full percentage point, which would have enormous implications for our debt and deficit. This would increase Americans’ health and our wealth, and it ought to be one of the top national priorities for our country," he added.
As researchers push ahead with new therapies and early detection tools, the report suggests the question is no longer whether progress is possible, but how quickly it can be accelerated.

Why Kristi Noem’s firing took so long as she wrecked DHS and damaged Donald Trump
We can now openly admit what has been unfolding before our eyes for a year: that Kristi Noem was an utter, complete, total catastrophe, her tenure in charge of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) little more than a self-promoting crusade.
She was unqualified for the job from day one, and largely responsible for the awful excesses of ICE and the frustrating failures of FEMA.
President Donald Trump's decision to fire her, which took way too long, liberates many Republicans to acknowledge what many in the media, including me, along with Democrats and outside critics, have been saying all along: Noem was a slow-motion train wreck.
WATCH THE MOST VIRAL MOMENTS AS KRISTI NOEM’S HEARING GOES OFF THE RAILS
The former South Dakota governor had no experience in national security issues, and that became painfully evident.
This is a woman so determined to project the image of a tough cowgirl that when she wrote a memoir, she boasted about having shot her dog because she hated the pet. Talk about a self-inflicted wound.
This is a woman who trashed two American citizens tragically killed by ICE by calling them domestic terrorists, and in one case an agitator. And refused to take it back.
The proper response was simple: This is awful, we feel terrible for the family, we are investigating, and I'll report back when we have more information. How hard is that?
In the case of Renee Good, who was fatally shot after dropping off her child at school, there was no investigation. Noem simply declared the ICE agent had acted properly, and that was that.
Noem also bears responsibility for the hyper-aggressive approach of ICE in Minneapolis, which led to innocent Americans being dragged out of their cars and homes. The agents have a tough job to do, but many were hired after ICE slashed training for new recruits. She and the agency lied about that too.
The constant mistakes turned the public against ICE to the point that Trump had to bring in border czar Tom Homan to try to salvage the situation.
DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM ADDRESSES CALLS FOR HER FIRING, NEW ALEX PRETTI VIDEO
Noem also exacerbated the mess at FEMA. By insisting that she approve every contract or grant over $100,000, she created a huge backlog in which people who had been through the process in disaster areas have waited months and months and can’t get their money. Some Republicans complained about this after taking heat from their constituents.
Meanwhile, DHS spent millions on ads promoting the boss, not to mention the private plane used to ferry her around.
She posed at the notorious El Salvador prison, the shirtless inmates behind her reduced to props, wearing a $50,000 gold Rolex watch.
She posed riding a horse at Mount Rushmore to further that gun-toting image. Other agents nicknamed her "ICE Barbie."
Noem was awful at hearings, defensive and ill-prepared, as lawmakers hammered her. She even got grilled about her relationship with her special government employee, Corey Lewandowski, Trump's first campaign manager, although both dismissed the rumors.
But the thin ice didn't crack until she flatly lied about the president.
HOUSE DEMOCRATS HOLD 'SHADOW HEARINGS' AS THEY BUILD CASE TO IMPEACH KRISTI NOEM
Under aggressive questioning by Republican Sen. John Kennedy, she claimed Trump had approved a $220-million advertising contract with her as the featured star. Even someone with a rusty political antenna would realize that Trump was the star of the show.
Only four firms were deemed eligible to bid for this contract. And the award went to a firm that had not existed eight days earlier. It had no website. It had no known office. It had never done work for the government.
This company was created for the sole purpose of winning this lucrative windfall of federal money.
What the firm did have was a strong political connection to Noem. As revealed by Pro Publica, this Delaware outfit, the Strategy Group, played a key role in Noem's 2022 campaign for governor.
When Kennedy let it be known that Trump had phoned him and called BS on her account, anyone with 10 minutes' experience in Washington could tell that Noem was toast.
The president was so furious that he shuffled her off to a previously nonexistent job, as special envoy to a new Western Hemisphere security initiative. Not exactly a golden parachute.
Trump, addressing the radioactive contract, told NBC News: "I wasn’t thrilled with it. I spent less money than that to become president. I didn’t know about it."
The president's replacement pick, Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, is widely respected as a more seasoned choice with aggressive views about deportation. He was classy with reporters, saying he and Noem are friends and that she did the best she could under difficult circumstances.
It's hardly unusual for a Cabinet to have a couple of clunkers. For Trump, who dismissed top officials left and right during his first term, this was the first Cabinet firing of his current tenure, and came while he's waging war against Iran.
The president was extraordinarily patient with Noem, but she did serious damage to him, the administration and the country on his signature issue of immigration.
Virtually no one is defending her, except perhaps close family and friends. The need for pretense is over.
