FIRST ON FOX: ‘No Kings’ protest network behind fight against AI data centers and Flock cameras
FIRST ON FOX: The same hard-left network behind "No Kings" and other protests is leading the battle against data centers and Flock surveillance cameras, according to a Fox News Digital investigation and a new report.
In growing protests from San Francisco to North Carolina, organizations and activists associated with the same ecosystem that rallied against President Donald Trump, Israel, Elon Musk, Tesla and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the last two years are now taking on data-center construction and license-plate readers.
The overlap includes organizations funded by pro-China, Shanghai-based tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, whose sprawling nonprofit and media network has faced Congressional and federal scrutiny over its funding and foreign ties. Singham and the nonprofits he has funded have denied taking orders from any government or political party and haven’t been charged with any crimes.
The findings are detailed in a new report, "The Compute War at Home," commissioned by Consumer Action for a Strong Economy, an Alexandria, Va., free-markets nonprofit that used social-media analysis by Arken Intelligence, a technology firm based in Washington, D.C., for parts of its study.
"The money, media, organizing capacity and campaign objectives converge in the same ecosystem," the report says.
Based on reporting over the past several years from street protests, Fox News Digital has identified the protest movement’s evolution across three phases. The new report chronicles a repeatable political model, in which activists first identify a local grievance, then connect it to a larger ideological narrative and package the argument through national media and activist infrastructure and carry it into new communities.
The first phase appeared in early January 2025 with Trump’s inauguration and the launch of "Tesla Takedown" demonstrations to protest Tesla founder Musk as he led efforts to cut waste in federal spending. It became the mobilization infrastructure built around "No Kings" and "Hands Off" anti-Trump protests, anti-Israel activism and related campaigns, supporting the Communist Party of Cuba, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Venezuelan communist strongman Nicholas Maduro.
Organizations from the Singham network – including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, CodePink, the People’s Forum, ANSWER Coalition and affiliated groups – appeared repeatedly across those movements, working with nonprofits more aligned with the Democratic Party, including Indivisible, a nonprofit network funded in part by billionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros. The organizations deny any wrongdoing as agents of alleged foreign influence and say they are addressing legitimate community grievances.
AGITATORS UNITED BY CHINESE MONEY, HATE FOR AMERICA TARGET DATA CENTERS, EXPERTS WARN
The second phase shifted that protest infrastructure toward American technological infrastructure. Over the past year, CodePink developed a national campaign against data centers, while the campaign took root among the approximately 70 chapters of the Party for Socialism and Liberation with near-identical messaging and strategies. Liberation News, which describes itself as the newspaper of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, nationalized local victories and promoted moratoria, bans and project cancellations. Media outlets, like BreathThrough News, from the Singham network provided additional amplification.
The third phase involved an ideological crossover in which Flock cameras have now become a bridge between local privacy and policing concerns and the national fight over artificial intelligence, cloud systems, energy and data centers.
The report doesn’t claim that every opponent of Flock cameras or data centers is connected to the activist network. It notes that opposition to Flock has become genuinely bipartisan, with legitimate concerns about privacy, data retention, misuse and poorly written government contracts. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently ordered license-plate readers removed from state highways, while Texas has also moved to pull back from the technology, and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley has launched an investigation into Flock cameras over surveillance concerns.
But the report credits the left-wing organizers with fusing the two issues into a one-two punch that has caught on with a broad coalition.
According to the Arken Intelligence analysis, posts mentioning both Flock and data centers increased from 639 posts in the 10 weeks before a spike in organizing on May 19 led to 9,009 posts over the next 10 weeks, a 14.1-fold increase.
Among posts for which a political affiliation could be classified, the report said, 81% came from right-wing, conservative or libertarian accounts.
"Issue pairings rarely multiply fourteen-fold in a matter of weeks without a catalyst, particularly when the surge begins immediately after organizers start promoting the connection," the report states.
"These influence actions are cognitive warfare. Foreign actors don't need Americans to become pro-China," Rob Joyce, former director of cybersecurity at the National Security Agency, told Fox News Digital. "They need Americans to argue for the outcomes Beijing wants. And a free society that can't build the power and govern the advanced technology is going to wind up renting it from the adversary, read the PRC, that doesn't share its own values. And that scares me as an American."
DOJ LAUNCHES GRAND JURY PROBE INTO MARXIST MOGUL NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM'S FUNDING OF LEFTIST GROUPS
The report identifies at least a year of coordination among far-left activists in the Singham network, deliberately linking the issues through propaganda media outlets and activist networks funded and supported by Singham.
Late last September, BreakThrough News laid the groundwork, publishing an article that described Flock as "America’s authoritarian tracking infrastructure." Soon after, People’s Dispatch, now merged into the BreakThrough News operations, covered a Denver campaign against data centers the next month, using a photograph from the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Denver chapter and quoting a local Party for Socialism and Liberation organizer.
By early May, the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Denver chapter partnered with Indivisible and the far-left Sunrise Movement and promoted a forum examining the "connections between mass surveillance and data centers and how BOTH only serve the needs of billionaires and not our communities."
PROBE INTO 'SUBVERSIVE' ANTI-AI SINGHAM NETWORK IS 'ENORMOUS,' FORMER TREASURY ADVISOR SAYS
Days later, on May 19, when the convergence of issues went public, the local Denver chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation circulated a petition to urge the Denver city council to block the building of data centers, arguing, "FIGHTING BACK AGAINST DATA CENTERS MEANS FIGHTING FOR SOCIALISM!" It also posted photos opposing Flock cameras.
On July 11, in Charlotte, N.C., the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s local chapter published an anti-Flock post centered on "AI mass surveillance" and police "brutality," then directed readers to sign a North Carolina petition opposing data-center construction on a dedicated website, nodatacentersnc.com, anonymously purchased the month earlier on June 19, according to online records.
By July 25, in Tucson, Ariz., the local Party for Socialism and Liberation chapter joined "deFLOCK Tucson" and the "No Desert Data Center Coalition" for an event called "It’s ALL Connected" at the "Global Justice Center" on E. 26th Street.
The promotional material asked what mass surveillance, data centers and electric power had in common. The answer: "IT’S ALL CONNECTED."
The report says the campaigns combine concerns over water, electricity rates, land use, noise, health, immigration enforcement, policing and artificial intelligence. Those concerns can be legitimate, the report notes, but organizers can also use them to make the broader infrastructure supporting American computing appear inherently dangerous or illegitimate.
In July, CodePink’s Detroit chapter published a description of data centers as the physical infrastructure of mass surveillance, linking them to OpenAI, Palantir Technologies, military contractors and ICE, crafting a narrative around the argument that the AI data center industry "creates harm and destruction."
CodePink has dedicated a website page to a new campaign, "DATA CENTERS AND THE WAR ECONOMY," describing data centers as products and instruments of war and warning that projects "must be halted wherever they are." Its action page calls on activists to build a joint struggle against data centers and the "war economy."
TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT MOVES TO CUT STATE FUNDING FOR AI-POWERED FLOCK CAMERAS AMID PRIVACY CONCERNS
Flock cameras provide a particularly effective local "entry grievances," according to the report. A dispute over a police contract, a license-plate reader or a single alleged misuse can be expanded into a broader argument about databases, artificial intelligence, cloud systems and data centers.
"Flock gives that abstraction a visible local target," the report states, allowing organizers to portray "a much larger infrastructure buildout" as threatening.
Flock’s actual computing footprint is small, according to company officials. According to Rahul Sidhu, chief strategy officer at Flock, the company uses less than 0.1% of the capacity of a single data center. But the report argues that Flock’s political value is far greater than its computational footprint because it gives the "surveillance state" argument a concrete and emotionally potent target.
Ultimately, the causes have converged, say experts, with Republican politicians joining the chorus of criticism by pro-China communists in recent days against data centers and Flock cameras. As the Party for Socialism and Liberation continued to rail against "AI mass surveillance," DeSantis this week opposed the rise of an "AI digital surveillance state."
The renewed scrutiny on the Singham network’s alleged influence operations on local communities emerges as it faces serious investigation by Congress and federal investigators. The Senate Judiciary Committee previously asked the Justice Department and FBI to assess whether CodePink and the People’s Forum should register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, called FARA.
The House Oversight Committee has sought records concerning Singham’s funding relationships, while the House Ways and Means Committee recently sent subpoenas to BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and the People’s Forum, which have refused to supply documents, saying they are the targets of a "witch hunt."
As Fox News Digital first reported in late June, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York launched a grand jury investigation earlier this year that is examining possible money laundering, wire fraud and bank fraud violations by Singham and the network of nonprofits he funded.
India's Modi-Iran meeting comes amid US warnings of sanctions on Tehran's trading partners
The Trump administration is ramping up economic sanctions on Iran through "Operation Economic Outcast," while also threatening dire secondary sanctions against countries that continue Iran-related business.
The new policy puts countries like India and other close U.S. partners in an awkward situation.
New Delhi remains a critical U.S. partner in the Indo-Pacific, but it also has commercial, energy and strategic interests in Iran that it won't likely discard, potentially putting it at odds with the Trump administration.
TRUMP THREATENS 'UNPRECEDENTED' ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES FOR ANY NATION AIDING IRAN
On Monday, exactly a week after the Trump administration launched its new sanctions campaign, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Kyrgyzstan. It was their first meeting since the war broke out six months ago.
According to an Iranian readout, Pezeshkian asked Modi "to use India’s extensive contacts" to help steer the involved parties away from war and back toward dialogue, while thanking Modi for standing by Tehran. Modi reiterated that New Delhi wants to strengthen its "long-standing friendship" with Tehran and "expand and diversify" the two countries’ trade basket.
"That was for Modi to signal to a domestic audience that he is not kowtowing to Trump," Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Sadanand Dhume told Fox News Digital. "India-Iran relations have already been largely hollowed out by previous rounds of sanctions, so there is no question of India trying to balance between the U.S. and Iran," he added.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked by Fox News' Brian Kilmeade on "The Brian Kilmeade Show" Tuesday about Modi's meeting with the Iranian president.
Rubio said he didn't think there was a trade deal between India and Iran — noting many countries around the world talk to Tehran — and stated, "What ultimately happens, though, is – and the President’s been very clear – is no country should be helping Iran evade sanctions. No country should be out there helping them create mechanisms by which they can generate revenue that they will then use to sponsor terrorism and try to build a nuclear weapon. And if countries decide to do that, then we’re going to have to sanction them too."
A U.S. official echoed Rubio's comments and told Fox News Digital that, "the Administration continues to have positive discussions with our economic partners to ensure Iran never possesses a nuclear weapon."
India has been among Iran’s top five trading partners in recent years, though bilateral trade has dropped dramatically since its 2018-19 peak.
New Delhi’s exports to Iran are concentrated on goods that can carry humanitarian exemptions, including pharmaceuticals. Iran is also the second-largest overseas market for Indian rice, with India exporting more than $383 million worth in the first six months of the year.
Conversely, India resumed importing Iranian crude oil for the first time in seven years in April, after the Trump administration temporarily lifted sanctions to soften the Middle East conflict’s impact on global energy. Iranian oil shipments to India were valued at roughly $707 million in the first half of the year.
India has already come into the Treasury Department's crosshairs, with the U.S. sanctioning four India-based companies and three Indian nationals over alleged links to Iranian petroleum and petrochemical trade.
The Treasury Department says countries will receive a defined timeline to shut down Iran-related activity as identified by Washington. That puts banks, shippers, insurers and trade intermediaries on notice before any further penalties are imposed. The United Arab Emirates’ suspension of commercial and financial dealings with Iran has already squeezed Indian exporters, as Dubai has long served as a key hub for trade with Iran.
IRAN DEAL CLOCK HITS ZERO AS TRUMP DEMANDS ‘WHITE FLAG’ WITH NEW PRESSURE CAMPAIGN LOOMING
So far, Washington’s initial actions have stopped short of targeting India’s wider commercial relationship with Iran.
Iran, meanwhile, has warned of "grave consequences" for countries that cooperate with what it calls illegal U.S. behavior.
India's interests in Iran also run beyond commerce. The Chabahar port, Iran’s only deep-water oceanic port, provides maritime routes linking India to Russia and Europe. It also gives India an access route to Central Asia that bypasses Pakistan. But U.S. sanctions uncertainty has repeatedly complicated India’s operations there.
India, the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer, has already faced the cost of the Middle East conflict, through energy disruptions, higher import costs and inflation. It has also shown it will resist U.S. pressure when core interests are at stake.
For instance, it has defended ties with Russia, despite Moscow’s adversarial relationship with Washington. But experts argue Iran no longer carries the same weight.
"The Russian example is strikingly different. New Delhi shares close military and diplomatic ties with Moscow that are much more important to India than its ties with Iran, notwithstanding lip service to the latter," Dhume said. "Higher global oil prices hurt India, but India weaned itself off Iranian oil imports a while back."
For the U.S., squeezing major economies like India over their ties to Tehran could pose a diplomatic risk. U.S. national security officials stress the need for a workable strategic relationship with India, especially to counterbalance Chinese power.
Under President Trump’s second term, once-blooming U.S.-India relations have been under strain. Trump and Modi sought to reset the relationship just months ago, but the latest Iran sanctions could test it again.
But the U.S. retains enormous leverage over India, particularly when it comes to trade.
"If forced to choose, New Delhi will obviously and emphatically choose its valuable commercial relationship with the U.S. over its skimpy trade ties with the Islamic republic," Dhume said.
The timing is notable, with Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly set to visit India for next week’s BRICS summit. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian are also expected to attend.
Analysts say the impact will ultimately depend on how aggressively Washington moves from warnings and diplomacy to actual secondary sanctions. That is particularly true with India, where more aggressive enforcement risks further straining U.S. relations with a strategically important partner.
"The U.S. should learn from its own past success in quietly persuading India to generally kick its Iran oil habit," Dhume said. "Quiet diplomacy works better with India than bluster. This is the key lesson from the past that the Trump administration appears to be forgetting."
The Indian government did not respond to Fox News Digital requests for comment.
Viral video of jets buzzing DHL Stadium in Cape Town prompts aviation safety investigation
Last week, fans at a rugby match between South Africa and New Zealand got a show before the opening... uh... however it is that rugby matches start when a pair of Embraer E-Jets flew over the stadium.
Barely over the stadium.
Video of the moment quickly went viral, and it left a lot of people thinking, "Hey, that was very cool, but it seems like that may have been a little too low."

Well, despite some evidence that these low flyovers have happened before in South Africa, the stadium tower buzzing is now under investigation.
"It is therefore critical that we interrogate this past weekend’s events … to determine if there were any safety concerns which warrant a review," The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) said in a statement, per the Associated Press.
The flyover came just before the start of a match in the "Rugby's Greatest Rivalry" series that pits the Springboks against the All Blacks in matches around the world. This one in particular was in Cape Town and featured the two Airlink-operated jets flying over the city's DHL Stadium.
The airline was reportedly set to do another flyover at a match in Soweto, but has dropped those plans.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
It's good to at least take a look at this because if they weren't supposed to be flying that low, something needs to be done... but, man, that was cool.
There's just something about a flyover. I see planes fly over my house all the time, but when I saw a B-2 bomber soar over the Freedom 250 Grand Prix recently, it was like reaching another state of technologically advanced, radar-avoiding nirvana.
So, while safety has to be the number one priority, let's make sure we never do away with the wonders of having jets fly over stadiums full of people.

2028 Dem hopeful's longtime ally exposed for deep ties to CCP officials: 'Good friends'
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., has been floated as a potential 2028 Democratic contender for president, but his longtime ally and former senior advisor on foreign trade and economic development could be a liability due to his deep ties to Chinese Communist Party officials, a Fox News Digital investigation found.
Henry Yin is a longtime California businessman and political operative who Khanna has praised for his "leadership" and has called one of his "good friends" on Facebook. He was born in China, raised in Taiwan and then moved to the United States, where he has lived for several decades.
However, while living in California, Yin has been a major player helping China get a foothold in California over the last several decades through multiple roles, including serving as a member of the California Commission for Economic Development and founding a consulting firm that included multiple corporate clients with ties to Chinese Communist Party officials.
A 2011 profile piece revealed that Yin "made his fortune selling used computer equipment to China" and had "done business in China for more than a quarter-century." The profile piece went on to say Yin has "good connections and a sense of [China's] business climate" and was "leading city trade delegations to China, which have contributed to several Chinese firms — most recently software company Trunkbow International — setting up offices in the city and helping city businessmen get a foothold in China."
SWALWELL RESIGNATION COLLIDES WITH CHINA-LINKED SCANDAL AS CRITICS DEMAND FILE RELEASE
"Henry has some sort of special skill-building relationships," one businessman said in the profile piece, praising Yin. "There’s a lot more government involvement in China, and you need relationships with local government officials."
In addition to his consulting business and several overseas trips to China, Yin has allegedly attended at least 10 events hosted by United Front groups, including the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (ACFROC), according to China expert Jackie Deal, the president of Long Term Strategy Group, a defense research firm. Fox News Digital has extensively reported on the CCP's United Front and the threat it poses to U.S. institutions as the CCP gains influence in the United States.
In a Sept. 2019 Facebook post, Khanna announced that Yin, who was first appointed to the California Commission for Economic Development in 2010 by then- Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and later reappointed to the position in 2015 by the succeeding Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, would "serve as my Senior Advisor on Foreign Trade and Economic Development."
"We discussed the importance of improving the US China relationship to cooperate on issues of climate change and medical research while protecting intellectual property and opening access to markets," Khanna continued. "I was particularly touched that Henry and the group had a birthday cake for me. It was wonderful celebrating with them!"
A few months later, in December of the same year, Khanna posted about Yin on Facebook again, writing, "Thank you Henry Yin for your leadership!"
That same month, Yin invited Khanna to be his "honorable guest" for an event titled, "S.V. U.S.-China Trading Partners Concerned Group Dinner Meeting Agenda," which was sponsored by Yin's consulting firm, USA-China-Link. A review of the event's presentations showed the attendees were slated to talk about an array of topics, including China investments, technology and business asset management, among other topics. Khanna was slated to discuss intellectual property.
ELITE US COLLEGES LINKED TO CHINESE SURVEILLANCE LABS DRIVING UYGHUR ‘GENOCIDE,’ STUDY WARNS
In Feb. 2020, Khanna posted another photo of himself having dinner with Yin, who he referred to as one of his "good friends." In the post, Khanna decried that "Chinese Americans are feeling they are being stereotyped as the symbols for the coronavirus."
"This is a time to embrace our Chinese American neighbors and friends and continue to frequent Chinese-American stores, restaurants and shopping centers."
On Yin's LinkedIn profile, which still includes the senior advisor title with Khanna's office, he includes over a dozen slides detailing his consulting business, USA-China-Link, and showcasing his business acumen in China, which was featured in several profile pieces in Chinese state media. One of the slides says his firm "specialized in high-tech and green tech" and helped China do business in California and vice versa. Other slides show a list of his Chinese clients and a slide that called him an "Official Commerce Rep in US for the Province of Fujian, China."
Another slide shows a photo of Yin at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in 2009 for the China National Day Banquet, where he calls himself a "VIP" in the caption. According to reports on the event, the banquet included several senior-level CCP officials in attendance, including then-Chinese President Hu Jintao and his successor Xi Jinping, the former third-ranking member of the CCP's Politburo Standing Committee, Wen Jiabao, among other top officials.
A spokesperson for Khanna, who is a member of the House Select Committee on the CCP, told Fox News Digital earlier this year that "Henry Yin has never been employed by Rep. Khanna" and "he doesn’t serve in any role in his office or campaign." When asked Wednesday whether his office stands by the quote, Khanna's office did not immediately respond. Despite the previous denial, Khanna and Yin were pictured sitting beside each other earlier this year at an event.
In Feb. 2026, Khanna posted a photo showing him sitting beside Yin at a political action committee meeting in Sunnyvale, California. Khanna wrote he was "honored to be back in the district, hearing directly from Chinese American community leaders."
Yin has made several trips abroad to China over the last decade, including a July trip where he led a delegation to Guangzhou to meet with Zhu Xiaojun, the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province's deputy director, which is a CCP-controlled position. A Chinese report on the trip said the two sides collaborated on two-way trade between California and the Guangdong province. Two months before the event, Yin attended the 2026 China-California Economic and Trade Forum, which was hosted by the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles and included multiple CCP officials in attendance.
He also accompanied California Gov. Gavin Newsom in late 2023 for a delegation, where he served as an advisor, according to another Chinese media report. During the trip, Newsom would meet with top CCP officials, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Wang Yi, who has been a CCP member since 1981 and is currently serving as a "Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Foreign Affairs." Newsom also met with Han Zheng, China's vice president.
A Fox News Digital review of Yin's Facebook account also unearthed other China trips he made, including Chinese delegations he has helped host in California. In 2014, Yin signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the California Green Tech Center and China Venture Capital Association, which appeared to be one of his firm's clients. Other posts show multiple China visits, including the 2015 "China South Asia Expo," which featured a speech from the now-former Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao. A 2019 post highlights another China trip he took, which he called "fruitful" and included over a dozen photos of Chinese officials he met with. One of the photos included the names of Chinese and American companies where he was facilitating trade projects.
ELITE US COLLEGES LINKED TO CHINESE SURVEILLANCE LABS DRIVING UYGHUR ‘GENOCIDE,’ STUDY WARNS
A Fox News Digital investigation also unearthed a 2013 photo that appears to show Christine "Fang Fang" Fang — the Chinese spy at the center of the scandal involving disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell — alongside key political figures. Posing together at a public gathering, Fang stood behind then-Chinese Consul General to San Francisco Gao Zhansheng and top leaders from the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association (APAPA), including Yin.
A recently declassified FBI report on Swalwell's ties to Fang Fang revealed that a "prominent businessman in the Bay Area" tied to APAPA introduced Swalwell to Fang Fang. While Fox News Digital could not confirm whether the redacted section of the FBI report was referring to Yin, or potentially his brother, C.C., who founded APAPA and opened up several McDonald's franchises, Axios previously quoted Yin saying that Fang Fang was "very active" with the APAPA Bay Area chapter and remembered seeing her at several events.
The photo was originally shared on Facebook in February 2013 by the late Don Sun, a prominent California civic leader and tech executive who passed away in 2024. In the photo caption, Sun wrote that the Yin family and APAPA had thrown a farewell dinner for the Chinese consul at San Francisco’s Embarcadero Center. Sun said the photo depicts the consul and "all my friends at APAPA."
UNEARTHED PHOTO OF SWALWELL MEETING WITH TOP CCP OFFICIAL RAISES ALARM BELLS: 'VERY DISTURBING'
An APAPA spokesperson confirmed that Yin is a current member of the group's board. The spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement earlier this year that the photo "appears to reflect a private gathering and does not represent APAPA programming, partnerships, or operations." They emphasized that attendance by individual members of APAPA at events "does not reflect organizational positions, affiliations, or activities beyond that context."
"Public officials should strongly scrutinize any APAPA efforts that align with CCP objectives, including the CCP influence operations to prevent data center construction across America," Michael Lucci, the CEO of State Armor, a nonprofit countering CCP threats, told the New York Post.
"APAPA does not have documentation to substantiate the characterization in Mr. Sun’s post that the dinner was ‘co-hosted’ by APAPA, and we cannot validate third party descriptions of the event based on a photo and a social media caption," the spokesperson said, adding, "Individuals may attend events in a personal capacity, and such attendance should not be construed as an organizational activity or endorsement."
The spokesperson also noted that "APAPA has no records indicating that he [Yin] has served as a senior advisor to Rep. Khanna" despite an APAPA press release from January 2022 announcing Yin joining the group's national governing board and states that he "has served as Senior Advisor to U.S. Representative Ro Khanna, who represents the South Bay Area."
Pressed by Fox News Digital on this, the APAPA spokesperson said, "The current APAPA headquarters leadership and team had no knowledge of, and do not maintain any records confirming, Mr. Henry Yin serving as a senior advisor to Rep. Khanna. APAPA does not oversee, verify, or maintain records related to an individual’s outside titles or roles with public officials."
They added that "With respect to historical references appearing on legacy APAPA web pages or posts, APAPA is in the process of reviewing and removing outdated or inaccurate content that does not reflect current leadership, governance, or verified records." They added that "questions regarding any past or current status with Rep. Khanna’s office should be directed to that office or to Mr. Yin directly."
Yin did not respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.
Popular diet slashes liver fat by 67% while reversing prediabetes in some people
The keto diet may have surprising benefits for liver health, a new study suggests.
The research, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, studied 42 adults who had obesity, prediabetes and excess liver fat.
In a randomized clinical trial, the participants were assigned to three weight-loss diets – a low-carb ketogenic diet, a Mediterranean diet and a low-fat, mostly plant-based diet.
SECRET TO WEIGHT LOSS MAY BE HIDING IN YOUR GUT, NEW STUDY SUGGESTS
The keto diet’s calories consisted of about 4% carbohydrates and 73% fat, according to the study. The Mediterranean diet provided about 50% of calories from carbohydrates and 35% from fat, while the low-fat diet provided about 70% of calories from carbohydrates and 15% from fat.
In all three groups, muscle insulin sensitivity improved by about 50%, helping the muscles take up blood sugar more efficiently.
Liver insulin sensitivity improved two to three times as much in the keto group as in the other diet groups.
Liver fat decreased by roughly 67% among people following the keto diet, compared with about 45% among those on the other diets. The reduction was linked to a decrease in the liver’s production of new fat.
Glucose and insulin measures also generally improved more in the keto group. About 50% of participants in that group no longer met the criteria for prediabetes by the end of the trial, compared with 29% of those following the Mediterranean diet and 7% of those on the low-fat diet.
ONE COMMON TYPE OF FAT MAY INCREASE DIABETES RISK, WHILE ANOTHER HELPS FIGHT IT
The study’s short duration and small sample size — about 14 people in each diet group — limit how broadly the findings can be applied to the general population, the researchers said.
The researchers concluded that, among people with obesity, prediabetes and excess liver fat, the composition of a weight-loss diet may influence certain metabolic outcomes beyond the effects of weight loss alone. The keto diet produced the greatest improvements in liver fat and liver insulin sensitivity in this small trial.
Registered dietitian nutritionist Ilana Muhlstein reflected on the study findings.
"I love more and more validation and recognition that calories are not equal," the California-based expert told Fox News Digital.
Muhlstein said people often reduce weight loss to "just a calorie deficit," but this study showed that differences in macronutrients were associated with different changes in health markers despite similar weight loss.
POPULAR DIET TREND COULD BOOST MENTAL HEALTH AMONG OLDER ADULTS, STUDY FINDS
Although weight loss occurred across all three groups, Muhlstein said the participants experienced different internal metabolic changes. The keto group showed a greater reduction in the liver’s production of new fat, along with metabolic changes consistent with greater fat burning.
Muhlstein explained that excess calories and metabolic dysfunction can cause fat to accumulate in the liver, even in people who do not drink alcohol.
She recommends that anyone with a fatty liver should consider transitioning to a lower carbohydrate diet.

Muhlstein said reducing carbohydrate intake may encourage the body to use more stored fat for energy.
The findings were notable because the keto group did not experience higher cholesterol or blood-fat measurements during the short study, the expert noted.

"This is a really interesting study for someone who has prediabetes, someone who had blood sugar irregularity, but maybe still something to be cautious of if someone has heart disease in the family or is at high risk of heart disease," she added.
Overall, Muhlstein said the findings suggest keto may be worth discussing as a short-term option for some people with obesity or prediabetes, particularly because the study found greater reductions in liver fat and higher rates of prediabetes remission — even though weight loss was similar across the three groups.

"Keto is not something I recommend for anyone long-term because of the high saturated fat, and usually it translates into a lower-fiber diet, which is not good for heart health," Muhlstein said.
"So potentially, it should be something used short-term early on for someone with prediabetes, and then they can transition into Mediterranean, which would be overall helpful for your heart, your brain and so much more."
GOP mail-in voting proposal could impact millions of Americans ahead of midterms
FIRST ON FOX: The nationwide battle over how and when Americans can vote has hit Capitol Hill, with two allies of President Donald Trump unveiling a new proposal they say will help restore confidence in U.S. elections.
Rep. Laurel Lee, R-Fla., plans to introduce legislation on Thursday mandating that absentee and mail-in ballots are received by the relevant officials by the end of the day on Election Day. A corresponding bill is being led in the Senate by Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla.
"This is something that we've done in Florida for many years, and it's a really effective way of making sure that elections stay organized and that we have timely election results," Lee told Fox News Digital.
SUPREME COURT RULES ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS RECEIVED AFTER ELECTION DAY
Lee is Florida's former top elections official, having served as its secretary of state from 2019 until May 2022.
"Florida is proof-positive that this works, that it does not deny any voter the right to vote. Our job as elected officials or as elections officials throughout the states is just to make sure that voters know the deadlines, that they know the rules and tell them your ballot has to be received," Lee said. "They can do that just as easy as they can get it postmarked by Election Day."
TRUMP SCORES SUPREME COURT WIN ON MAIL-IN VOTING RESTRICTIONS BEFORE MIDTERMS
It follows an executive order Trump issued in March 2025 essentially setting an Election Day deadline for when mail-in ballots can be received.
If passed, the legislation could have a significant impact on millions of Americans, nearly a third of whom vote by mail.
FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM RESTRICTING MAIL-IN BALLOTS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS
However, the topic of mail-in ballots has been a political lightning rod that's divided the GOP. Republicans in states where voting by mail is popular have expressed concern about changing the current system ahead of November.
But Lee argued her bill does not curb people's ability to vote by mail.
REPUBLICAN SAYS TRUMP'S TOP ELECTION PRIORITY 'DEAD' IN SENATE AS GOP FRACTURES AHEAD OF MIDTERMS
"One thing that's important to understand about this bill is that it doesn't limit voting by mail. It simply says that for states who allow mail voting, ballots must be received by Election Day," she said. "So it still keeps all of those options that states have chosen to implement on the table for them. It just creates a different deadline."
Meanwhile, a separate Trump order making significant changes to the mail-in voting system is currently at the center of a dramatic legal battle between the White House and over 20 states.
That order would create new hurdles for the U.S. Postal Service and other agencies to verify proof of citizenship before delivering ballots, as well as mandate the use of specific stationery denoting federal election mail.
Supporters of the rule have argued it's key to enhancing voter confidence in elections, while opponents have said it would do the opposite by sowing chaos in the current system.
Russia’s strikes near Moldova raise alarm over Putin’s plans for Europe’s eastern flank
As the war in neighboring Ukraine moves closer to its border, the former Soviet republic of Moldova, which just marked 35 years of independence, faces growing pressure from Russia.
In exclusive comments to Fox News Digital, national security advisor to Moldova’s President Maia Sandu, Stanislav Secrieru, said Russia’s recent strikes against Ukrainian-Moldovan border infrastructure pose a major threat to Ukraine’s economy and access to European markets.
Secrieru told Fox News Digital that, "In August, Russia began striking Ukraine’s border infrastructure along the Moldovan frontier. With Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea ports under sustained attack, Moldova has become a transit route for that grain towards Romania’s ports — and the Moldovan government cut rail transit tariffs by half to keep it moving."
US WARNS RUSSIAN-LINKED ACTORS SEEKING TO 'FOMENT MANUFACTURED INSURRECTION' IN EUROPEAN COUNTRY
These routes, Secrieru said, are a lifeline for Ukraine’s exports and for its economy. "Russia’s strikes are meant to sever them. Russia has also stepped-up violations of Moldova’s airspace in August, to intimidate us into withdrawing our support. Moldova stays the course. We will continue to provide civilian support to Ukraine and to keep the corridors that sustain its economy open," Secrieru told Fox News Digital.
President Sandu reported five Russian drones violated its airspace just hours before the country celebrated its independence, in what the president called an attempt at "intimidation."
"We have repeatedly warned about the unacceptable risks posed by Russia’s war against Ukraine. Yet another Russian attack on Ukraine has once again resulted in violations of Moldova’s airspace," the foreign ministry posted on X.
Secrieru told Fox News Digital that Russia violated Moldovan airspace on 17 occasions in August, the highest number of violations in a month since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently visited his Moldovan counterpart in Chișinău, taking part in Independence Day celebrations and emphasizing the shared struggle of Ukrainians and Moldovans in the face of the threat posed by neighboring Russia.
"Russia is doing a lot to ruin our lives in Ukraine, to ruin your lives in Moldova, and to make it as difficult as possible for Romania. This is the ‘Russian world.’ It spoils. It destroys. But we will win. I am sure," Zelenskyy told a large Independence Day gathering.

RUSSIA USES AMMO DEPOT IN TRANSNISTRIA TO SMUGGLE WEAPONS ACROSS UKRAINIAN BORDERS
Both Moldova and Ukraine applied for EU membership on the same day, shortly after Russia’s invasion in 2022. Russia’s invasion and its destabilization efforts in Moldova complicate both countries' path forward to EU membership, a central goal of Putin’s Russia as Moscow has tried to stymie the countries of the former Soviet republic from moving closer to the West and EU institutions.
Russia’s new threats against its neighbors come on the heels of CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s surprise visit to Moscow, fueling speculation Russia intends to escalate conflict with NATO members, particularly the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Along with its kinetic actions in Ukraine and incursions into Moldova’s airspace, Moscow uses influence operations in the former Soviet space to aid pro-Russian actors and push pro-Russian points of view.
"Russia has been interfering in Moldova for years, and these latest reports fit the broader pattern of Moscow using hybrid warfare to test how far it can push Europe without triggering a serious response," Ivana Stradner, research fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital.
Moldova remains a prime target for Russian influence operations over 30 years after declaring independence from the Soviet Union. Russia maintains around 1,500 troops in the breakaway territory of Transnistria, which split away from Moldova after the declaration of independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Stradner, who focuses on Russian disinformation campaigns, said Putin is counting on Western risk aversion and betting that if a country isn’t under the NATO umbrella, the West will decide it’s safer to look away.
"That’s exactly why Moldova matters. This could be a rehearsal for how Moscow tests the Baltics," Stradner warned.
The Baltic countries are taking notice of what’s happening in Moldova and there are growing fears that Russia may escalate the conflict beyond Ukraine.
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna stated on X that while Estonia’s threat assessment has not changed, "Russia’s threat and possible provocations against NATO must be taken seriously." Other Baltic leaders including Latvia’s Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs reiterated that the threat of a Russian invasion remains low but warned of an increased risk of Russian actions.
Since independence, Moldova has set its sights on moving closer to the West, with recent elections and a referendum on becoming a member of the European Union gaining significant support.
Will the WNBA’s unserious, weekly sitcom destroy one of the greatest opportunities for women athletes?
Since WNBA player Sophie Cunningham said that biological men should not compete in women’s sports or enter women’s locker rooms, the WNBA’s legitimacy as a women’s league and nearly everything it once stood for have gone up in flames.
And every ounce of that damage has been self-inflicted. Faced with visceral backlash from radical gender activists over Cunningham’s comment, league officials, team owners, and coaches have either sat back and watched the chaos engulf their league, too afraid to challenge the small but loud minority driving it, or kowtowed completely.
They are treating Cunningham, her supporters, and anyone else who defends women’s spaces as heretics deserving of insults, threats, and public humiliation.

In doing so, the very people charged with protecting the integrity of women’s basketball have abandoned the women and girls whose opportunities their league exists to protect. They have taken the torch passed to them by generations of women who fought for the rights they benefited from and promptly handed it to activists determined to burn those protections down.
Predictably, a month of escalating absurdity has followed. Protests and counterprotests have erupted outside games, fans have been ordered to cover shirts acknowledging biological sex, a former NBA player wearing a shirt defining "woman" as "adult human female" was ejected from an arena, and two teenage girls holding a sign supporting Cunningham were berated by the co-owner of another WNBA team and told they were "f---ing insane."
League leaders have even devoted a "task force" to deciding who exactly qualifies as a woman under the league’s collective bargaining agreement, which states that "only players who are women" may compete. To this day, they have yet to emerge with a clear definition or eligibility policy, because determining whether men belong in a women’s league is apparently too "complex and nuanced" for the leaders of the Women’s National Basketball Association.
Cunningham’s own head coach, meanwhile, has claimed she is simply not "educated enough from a scientific standpoint" to take a position. Portland Fire head coach Alex Sarama said he had somehow never considered whether biological males should compete in women’s sports. He quickly added, of course, that he is "supportive of people from all communities," lest the mob turn on him next.
Golden State Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase explicitly said women’s sports should include "trans women," meaning biological males, then somehow compared enforcing the biological distinction between men and women to discrimination she has faced over her Japanese-American heritage.
WNBA FOLLOWERS ENRAGED OVER THREE HEAD COACHES' COMMENTS ON PROTECTING WOMEN'S SPORTS IN TWO DAYS
Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve, seemingly the most eager to abandon the girls the WNBA was created to serve, used her team’s game against the Fever to make a political statement and wear a "Trans Kids Belong" shirt before denying in interviews that biological males entering girls’ locker rooms is a real concern.
She saved her most condescending response, however, for the two girls who were cursed at by the Seattle Storm co-owner for holding a sign reading "Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls." According to Reeve, they are the ones who do not "understand" what the "real problems are."
Really? One of those girls was Ahnaleigh Wilson, who lost an eighth-grade championship race to a biological male and competed against a male athlete four times this past cross-country season. If Reeve had experienced this humiliation when she herself was a student athlete in New Jersey, she’d likely feel very differently.
Countless other girls across the country share Wilson’s story. Here in Maine, Kessa Benner saw her dream of winning a state pole-vaulting championship "unfairly shattered" when a biological male who had competed in the boys’ division just a year before took first place in the girls’ event.
When I, then a sitting member of the Maine House of Representatives, spoke up for Benner and girls with similar experiences, the male-led Democratic majority censured me and stripped me of my right to speak or vote until I apologized. Thankfully, the United States' Supreme Court intervened, and required my vote be counted. This same pattern that punishes girls and their defenders has now become entrenched at the professional level, the last place it should ever have taken hold.
Calling the WNBA’s response ignorance lets its leaders off far too easily. These officials, owners, and coaches know the difference between male and female athletes. They know why women’s basketball requires its own league and what happens to female players when that distinction is erased.
But acknowledging those facts would require them to stand up to the political, media, and institutional forces that now police every word spoken inside women’s sports. So, instead, they genuflect at the altar of a nonsensical political agenda and leave girls such as Wilson to pay the price.
The tragic irony is basketball is one sport where women can thrive professionally. Women play baseball, hockey and other sports but professional leagues in those endeavors are nowhere near as far along as the WNBA.
But its descent from a serious professional sports league into an unserious, weekly sitcom crushes the hopes of both those who’ve worked so hard to get there, and the generations of girls in middle school, high school and college right now who hope one day to wear a WNBA uniform.
The league would not exist without generations of women who fought for female athletes to have their own opportunities to compete fairly. Its leaders inherited everything those women fought to create. By refusing to preserve those protections for the girls coming behind them, they are abandoning the league’s purpose and destroying its future.

America’s quiet socialist takeover is spreading from town halls to classrooms
The socialist experiment in America is no longer confined to Washington or deep-blue national politics. It is coming to city halls and school boards across the country, where low-turnout elections can transform ambitious ideology into binding budgets and classroom policy.
Local government often affects Americans’ everyday lives more directly than Washington, shaping taxes, municipal services, schools, policing and housing. Americans should therefore pay close attention to the DSA’s steady advance into local government, where ideological commitments can collide with fiscal limits, practical administration and community preferences.
On affordability, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s municipal grocery plan illustrates how a policy marketed as relief for working families can shift costs and risks onto others. New York City has allocated $70 million toward five municipal grocery stores that will be operated by private firms under city requirements while selling a defined basket of essential goods at prices the city says will be 30% below typical retail prices. That "basket of goods" applies to selected produce, meat, seafood, pantry staples and other goods — not necessarily every product in the stores.
EXPERTS SCORCH MAMDANI'S GROCERY PLAN AS AN 'ILLUSION' THAT WILL HAVE TAXPAYERS FOOTING THE BILL
The Multicultural Business Coalition, which says it represents hundreds of small, immigrant- and minority-owned grocers, has filed two lawsuits. The group wants to stop the plan, arguing that independent grocers operating on narrow margins cannot fairly compete against taxpayer-supported stores. The litigation has not established that businesses will close, and the first municipal store is not expected to open until next year. Nevertheless, the dispute exposes a recurring flaw in government-centered economic policy. Making goods cheaper for one group can impose costs on another, including on family-owned businesses, their employees and taxpayers.
A policy intended to protect the working class should not proceed without serious analysis of whether it could displace the middle-class entrepreneurs who have served these neighborhoods for decades.
NYC BUSINESS OWNERS REVOLT OVER MAMDANI’S GOVERNMENT-RUN GROCERY STORES: ‘DOOMED FOR DISASTER'
Local school boards present another opportunity for ideological politics because their decisions shape not only district budgets, but also what children are taught and which perspectives are treated as legitimate. When curriculum becomes a vehicle for political activism, academic achievement and intellectual diversity can become secondary.
The concern is not that schools should ignore controversial subjects or disadvantaged students. It is that consequential policies can be adopted without adequately examining educational evidence, fiscal tradeoffs, dissenting perspectives, or the preferences of local families. Because school-board elections frequently receive limited public attention, organized political groups can exercise influence disproportionate to their support in the broader community.
Los Angeles offers a prominent example. DSA-LA helped elect Karla Griego and Rocío Rivas to the Los Angeles Unified School District board and openly describes them as its "Socialists in Office." Its education agenda extends beyond conventional school policy to climate activism, immigration, LGBTQ+ protections, housing and labor policy, opposition to law enforcement and anti-privatization efforts.
Such politicization risks infringing on parental rights while losing sight of education’s fundamental responsibilities — ensuring students can read, handle basic arithmetic, think critically and acquire the skills necessary to navigate adulthood.
SOCIALISM MOVES INTO THE MAINSTREAM — THE WARNING SIGNS ARE ALL HERE
Nor are these candidacies confined to Los Angeles. "DSA-LA has endorsed and campaigned for Estefany Castañeda, Rivas and Griego, all of whom won seats on Southern California education boards; San Diego DSA backed Erin Evans; Greater Baltimore DSA supports Baltimore school-board member Ashley ‘Ash’ Esposito; and in the 2026 election, Twin Cities DSA is supporting candidate Christin Crabtree in Minneapolis." The national organization has also encouraged chapters to recruit and run school-board candidates. Taken together, these campaigns show a deliberate effort to extend democratic-socialist influence into education governance.
That makes transparency essential. School-board candidates should disclose organizational relationships, distinguish local educational needs from national political objectives and explain how proposed policies will improve measurable student outcomes. Policymakers should likewise demand curriculum transparency, clear academic objectives and credible evidence that new expenditures will improve outcomes such as literacy, followed by public reporting on whether those improvements materialize.
America’s civic character will not be transformed only in Congress or the White House. It can change one municipal budget, ordinance, labor agreement and curriculum decision at a time.

Democratic socialists have the same right as anyone else to participate in debates over inequality, housing, public services and education. But no movement’s moral certainty should exempt its proposals from fiscal arithmetic, educational evidence, viewpoint diversity, or community consent.
The spread of DSA influence into local government is an effort to translate a national ideology into everyday governance, where the consequences become intensely personal. Spending commitments can raise taxes and crowd out essential services. Housing mandates can reshape neighborhoods. Public-safety experiments can affect whether residents feel secure. And ideological school policies can determine what children learn.
If this movement continues advancing through low-turnout elections and lightly scrutinized offices, Americans may discover their communities have been fundamentally changed only after the financial obligations and institutional policies have become difficult — and extraordinarily expensive — to reverse.
