'Wonder Woman' star Lynda Carter stuns fans with age-defying Instagram photos of her in a bathtub
"Wonder Woman" star, Lynda Carter, shocked fans with her age-defying appearance on social media.
The 75-year-old actress stunned in a series of photos shared on Instagram on Tuesday, July 28, while promoting her latest project, "Super Troopers 3."
"@supertroopers Ride Again!!! Follow them and us (returning cast) For a fantastic road romp!!" she captioned the post. "But....wait for it...the last scene! I'm naked in a bathtub???? Oh noooo, @jaychandreskhar you promised not to show that!"
In one of the photos, Carter is all smiles as she lies outside in a bathtub, with bubbles covering her chest and an elegant updo. Behind Carter is a picturesque view of a lake and greenery, and a martini is seen on a table next to her.

Other photos show the "Supergirl" actress posing with her arms around her co-stars and crew members on the film in a gray robe.
"My God, is she getting younger?!😍" one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, "Still absolutely gorgeous 😍, while a third fan chimed in adding, "Can't wait! And @reallyndacarter you look amazing!! You don't age!! ❤️🔥🔥"
When speaking to People in March 2024, Carter shared her secret to looking youthful in her 70s, telling the outlet, "People still recognize me all the time as Wonder Woman," adding that since she hasn't "cut" her face, "I probably look just myself, but older."
"And the reason I've never had any facial surgery is just because I'm afraid. It's scary, because we've all seen some bad ones," she said. "That outcome is spending time in a chair with some really good people doing your hair and makeup."

She explained that while most "actors and celebrities always look so great when they're on the red carpet," they often look like everyday people without makeup on and when wearing regular clothes.
"If everyone did a three-hour makeover before they left the house, then they'd all look amazing," she said. "What I'm trying to say is, there's a lot of effort behind those pictures. Don't think they walk out the door looking like that!"
Carter rose to stardom with her career-defining role playing Wonder Woman in the eponymous show, from 1975 to 1979. Decades after the show went off the air, fans continue to associate Carter with the iconic character, but she says she doesn't mind.
When speaking with E! News in October 2016, Carter explained that speaking about the show has never been an issue for her.

"I love the character. I love her. I think she stands for so much…I've heard so many great stories," Carter said. "She became so much more than this show or the comic book or the movie, she became a symbol for the beauty and the strength and the loving kindness and the wisdom of women…and gay men."
Calvin Ridley recalls fast-casual Mexican meal before offseason stomach bug knocked him out
Gastrointestinal issues have been in the news a lot lately (that's not a sentence I thought I'd type when I walked across the stage to receive my college degree), and now Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is talking about a nasty offseason stomach bug he dealt with.
The culprit?
Well, according to Ridley, it was a meal that he had from a certain fast-casual chain known for slinging burritos, burrito bowls, and any other permutation of protein, rice and toppings your heart desires.
STOMACH BUGS SURGING AS DOCTORS SAY CERTAIN TRAVEL ESSENTIALS COULD SAVE YOUR TRIP
On Saturday, a reporter asked him about an offseason bout with a 24-hour bug.
"Oh, yeah, I did," he said. "I've actually had that a couple of times in my life; maybe three or four times. It's not a good thing. It's like a 24-hour thing, but it really puts you down pretty good."
The Titans star revealed that he actually lost around 15 pounds in just 24 hours.
WEIGHT-LOSS JOKE TURNS SERIOUS AS 'CYCLOSPORA SKINNY' TREND FUELS HEALTH WARNINGS
That's brutal. Bugs like that are 24 hours of hell.
If someone said, "Hey, pick between a stomach bug or being fed feet first into a woodchipper," obviously, I'd pick the stomach bug, but I would briefly weigh the options.
Of course, what with all of the Cyclospora and lettuce hysteria, reporters did their job and asked an important follow-up question about whether or not Ridley's dilemma was because he had eaten lettuce.
"Chipotle," he replied.
Now, come on.
First of all, it's important to note that Chipotle has not been linked to any of the Cyclospora incidents sweeping our nation's restrooms and toilet paper aisles (weird that it's still readily available, unlike the early days of COVID, right?).
We've also reached out to the company for comment on Ridley's situation.
We don't know the source of Ridley's ailment, and it's good that he's doing better, but I'm tired of Mexican food being public enemy No. 1 anytime someone gets an upset stomach.
Whenever anyone's stomach feels a bit off-kilter, they go straight to the Mexican food. Sure, maybe it played a role, but it's unfair to just assume.
I mean, it's to the point that in many people's minds, Mexican food is practically as synonymous with gastrointestinal struggles as Tums and Febreze are.
Sure, it's not going to play as nice with the ol' pipes as some other cuisines, but we all know that going in. If you're scared or have plans, maybe eat a few saltines and play it safe.
Bill Maher breaks with the left to hammer Anthony Fauci after explosive Senate hearing
Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher railed against former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci just days after he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times during a Senate hearing over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During Friday’s episode of HBO’s "Real Time," Maher called out Fauci for telling "actual lies" about the origins of the virus responsible for over seven million confirmed deaths worldwide following Fauci’s Senate hearing on Wednesday.
"He was caught in actual lies," Maher said, adding, "The big issue to me is the origin of this, which is very important. How did it start?"
TOP 5 MOMENTS FROM FAUCI'S HEARING: PAUL BOOTS LAWYER, MORENO ERUPTS AS CONTEMPT VOTE LOOMS
The comedian pointed to Fauci’s previous assertions that the virus originated through animal-to-human contact at a wet market in Wuhan, China.
"He was telling people up front when it first began [that] it was from the wet markets. It could not — that's a conspiracy theory — if you say it escaped from the lab," Maher said.
"And he knew better," Maher continued. "Because we have him in his diary telling us what he was saying to other scientists, who were saying, ‘No, absolutely.’"
Fox News Digital reached out to Fauci for comment.
Maher went on to point to the controversial theory that the virus was the result of either an accidental or intentional leak from a Chinese laboratory in the same city where the first cases originated.
He also blasted Fauci over the crux of his hearing, in which he was questioned regarding the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ funding of "gain-of-function" research in China.
Fox News Digital previously covered Fauci’s vehement denial that the controversial research method — which involves scientists altering the genetics of a virus to better understand and treat it — led to the samples breaking free from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
WATCH: RAND PAUL SAYS THERE'S ONE THING AMERICANS HAVE NEVER HEARD FROM FAUCI
"I would always have said, don't do it, but it's a viable debate," Maher said, referring to the "gain-of-function" research method. "It's a reasonable debate — should we soup up something that's bad, this bacteria, to study it? Maybe if it got out it would be even worse. I think that's what did happen."
In June 2025, the World Health Organization released a report in which officials determined "the weight of available evidence … suggests zoonotic spillover … either directly from bats or through an intermediate host."
Maher then challenged the controversy surrounding the lab leak theory, which has been supported by President Donald Trump, and suggested the outcry surrounding its merit was largely due to social issues — not scientific evidence.
"We could have had that debate in a rational way," Maher said. "We didn't want to do that. Because why? Because we make everything about race. And this is one of the repercussions in this."
Maher added that the pandemic brought a racial stigma surrounding the lab leak theory, creating an unfounded taboo on the topic.
"You couldn't say it escaped from the lab, because that was the racist point of view somehow — that the entire Asian continent would have been somehow complicit in this because it escaped from the [lab]," Maher said. "It was ridiculous."

"But that is where they went," the comedian continued. "You were racist if you said this escaped from a lab. I think we've morphed from a place where we want to obviously not be prejudiced against anybody, to where people of color can never do any wrong."
Maher’s criticism of Fauci marks a notable break from his fellow left-leaning counterparts in media, who have historically stood behind the doctor.
"Once again, Bill Maher is willing to level with the country in a way the liberal, elitist media never would," Curtis Houck, managing editor of NewsBusters at the Media Research Center, told Fox News Digital. "The press should be capable of calling balls and strikes."
"But when it comes to most things and their dear Saint Fauci, they must protect him at all costs by either explaining away his damaging diary entries or not covering them at all," he continued. "The media have made the decision to be joined at the hip with Fauci, even as his credibility has dropped off a cliff."
Trump says he 'disagrees 100%' with U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro over Reflecting Pool case
President Donald Trump publicly broke with his top local prosecutor Saturday, insisting damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was "a pure case of VANDALISM" despite federal officials citing contractor failures as they moved to dismiss a felony case against a former U.S. Olympian.
"I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "I don’t know what she was thinking?"
Trump's remarks came one day after Pirro's office asked a federal judge to dismiss a felony destruction of property charge against former U.S. Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of damaging the landmark after allegedly pulling up a loose section of its protective lining on June 19 despite being told by a National Park Service employee to stop.
"To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area," Trump continued, referencing a separate vandalism incident that had occurred about a week earlier.
U.S. Park Police previously discovered the numbers "86 47" etched into the grass near the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The phrase has become a politically charged slogan directed at Trump. Supporters of the president, including Trump himself, have argued it amounts to a call for his assassination.
WHO IS DAVID HEARN? US OLYMPIAN WHO DENIES VANDALIZING REFLECTING POOL AFTER VIRAL ARREST
Pirro's office dropped the charges against Hearn on Friday after concluding that reports disclosed by the Department of the Interior revealed that there were many flaws with the renovation project, including that the lining appeared to begin peeling days after installation.
"Given all of this newly discovered information, it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism, let alone to establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt," the motion concluded.
Trump acknowledged there potential issues with the project but rejected the Justice Department's conclusion that construction problems were primarily responsible for the damage.
"There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!" Trump wrote.
Hearn was indicted on July 2 on one count of felony destruction of property after U.S. Park Police alleged he pulled at the pool's protective coating, with authorities initially estimating the damage exceeded $1,000.
According to Pirro's office, the Department of the Interior initially provided only "barebones" reports and did not disclose documents showing the Reflecting Pool's newly installed coating had begun failing almost immediately after construction.
"Had DOI been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession, the government would not have sought a grand jury indictment," prosecutors wrote in Friday's filing.
"It was not until after the return of the indictment, that the DOI provided additional documents to the USAO-DC indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings ('AIC'), and the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026," the filing continued.
The case against Hearn was dismissed without prejudice, meaning charges could be brought again in the future.
Court filings show Atlantic Industrial Coatings received a no-bid contract worth more than $14 million to install a new protective lining across the Reflecting Pool's 68,000-square-foot floor.
The project began in early May but was slowed by rain and complications with the pool's expansion joints, adding pressure to complete the work before the July Fourth festivities celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
According to prosecutors, problems surfaced almost immediately.
TRUMP SHARES NEWS OF 'CRYSTAL CLEAR' REFLECTING POOL, CALLS FOR VANDALISM SUSPECT'S ARREST
Just two days after the project was completed on June 9, a National Park Service engineer reported that sections of the new lining were already peeling.
"I stated my concern that this 'overspray' along the perimeter of the pool could lead to a 1'-2' strip that is vulnerable to peeling," the engineer wrote in a June 11 email obtained by the New York Post. "The contractor would not confirm in field if this was or wasn't a risk."
Following the dismissal request, Hearn's legal team accused the government of rushing to prosecute the case.
"The Trump administration's case against Davey Hearn should never have been brought. Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The government’s approach was ready, fire, aim. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology," attorneys Norm Eisen, Mary Dohrmann and Steve Levin said in a statement to the New York Post.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Pirro's office for comment.
Heidi Klum shows off figure during yacht trip after revealing her husband told her to 'eat more'
Heidi Klum basked in the sunshine while on vacation with family.
The 53-year-old German supermodel was photographed enjoying time with her daughter, Leni, and her daughter's boyfriend, Aris Rachevsky, on a yacht off the coast of St. Barts in the Caribbean.
In the photos, the mother-daughter duo both stun in bikinis. Klum rocked a cream-colored string bikini, which she paired with a gray baseball cap and sunglasses, and in some photos she held up her dog as an accessory.
Leni also wore a bikini, flaunting her toned body in a strapless blue top and matching bottoms, which she paired with a white hat and sunglasses.
HEIDI KLUM DITCHES BIKINI TOP, COVERS UP WITH POTATO CHIP BAG ON BEACH VACATION
Some of the photos show Leni wearing a snorkeling mask and flippers, while in others, she is taking photos of her mom, which later appeared on Klum's Instagram.
"You Are so beautiful Heidi 😍💗🔥👑" one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, "The girlz still got it...🔥🔥"
"Tom is lucky to have an amazing woman like Heidi," a third fan wrote.
The mother-daughter vacation came a few weeks after the "America's Got Talent" judge spoke to Us Weekly about how her husband, Tom Kaulitz, went against one of Hollywood's biggest beauty obsessions and told her to "eat more."

She told the outlet that she is "not interested at all" in GLP-1 drugs, admitting she has gained weight over the past few years. She doesn't mind the weight gain, adding, "I think with age, we look better when we're not as skinny."
"My husband was the first one who pointed that out. He said, 'You should eat more; you would look better if you had more meat on your bones.' I was like, 'What?' This is not something you're told in the industry, ever, because you're always supposed to be skinnier than you are."
While she has no interest in trying Ozempic or any other weight-loss drug, Klum said she doesn't look down on those who choose to go that route, noting, "A lot of people have a hard time getting that jumpstart."
In the past, Klum and Leni have sparked controversy due to their decision to pose together for a lingerie campaign for the brand Intimissimi, with social media users saying, "This makes me feel uncomfortable."

In response to the criticism, Klum told People that while some are questioning her decision to engage in the campaign with her daughter, she is proud of Leni, adding, "She’s fine with me like that."
"I’ve always been very open with my body," she continued. "When I’m suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on. I’m European … My kids don’t know me any other way and are probably more easygoing with their bodies because of it."
Baby boomers hate 10 things about today's grocery stores
Grocery shopping has changed dramatically over the past 50 years, and not everyone is happy about it.
Baby boomers — generally defined as those born between 1946 and 1964 — are particularly frustrated by many of today's grocery-store features, according to The Takeout. Technology-driven shopping is among their biggest complaints, along with several other modern grocery-store changes.
TRADER JOE'S WORKERS SHUT DOWN LONG-RUNNING CHECKOUT LINE RUMOR: 'OVER-THE-TOP FRIENDLINESS'
When asked to choose between self‑checkout and cashier‑assisted checkout — each with equal lines — 62% of respondents to a YouGov survey aged 65-plus said they preferred cashier-assisted checkout, compared to 34% who said they like self-checkout.
Fifty percent of respondents aged 45-64 said they preferred checking out with a cashier, while 44% said they would choose self-checkout. In the 18-29-year-old demographic, meanwhile, 52% said they prefer self-checkout, while 26% said they would prefer cashier-assisted checkout.
The major hangups boomers have with self-checkout is weighting produce, the lack of human interaction and the feeling they’re doing free labor, The Takeout reported.
Cleanliness and organization are what baby boomers prioritize in grocery stores, a 2024 survey published by the Feedback Group found.
Boomers have a strong preference for supermarkets (32%), the survey found, while Walmart (28%) was their second choice for grocery shopping. Gen X shoppers preferred Walmart (28%), followed by supermarkets (25%), while Gen Z opted for Walmart (23%), Aldi (20%), dollar stores (17%) and club stores (15%). Traditional supermarkets ranked last among Gen Z shoppers, with only 11% reporting this as their go-to store.
Grocery stores carefully arrange products to encourage shoppers to spend more time in the store and buy more items.

Frequent product relocations were another common complaint in the social-media responses highlighted by The Takeout.
The share of people aged 65 and older who are tech-users grew in the last decade, a 2022 Pew Research Center poll found. Despite this trend, many baby boomers say digital-only coupons put shoppers without smartphones at a disadvantage.
Trader Joe’s is an outlier, The Takeout noted, since the grocery-store chain doesn’t offer discounts or sales.
Shopping carts offer a "tactical maneuver" for some older adults who rely on them for mobility and stability purposes and as a rest aid, according to The Takeout.
Several baby boomers reacted to a Facebook post asking about their grocery-shopping experience to say they value shopping carts with wheels that swivel easily and are easy to push.
While younger generations are more likely to shop at budget grocery stores and buy off-brand products, a sizable number of baby boomers always go for name brands.
More than one in four (26%) baby boomers "rarely or almost never consider switching from their favorite brand," a Numerator survey on consumer trends found.

A Reddit forum featured many commenters expressing frustration with the older generation for spending more money for a comparable, generic product, The Takeout reported.
Many Americans grew accustomed to encountering out-of-stock items when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the supply chain. But baby boomers aren’t as accepting of the reality as others, according to social-media posts on the subject.
Many retirees live on fixed incomes and rely on sale-priced products to help stretch their grocery budgets, meaning unavailable items can have a greater financial impact on older adults.
Food retailers have faced recruitment and retention challenges in recent years, and it’s a pattern keenly felt by baby boomers.
Social-media comments summarized by The Takeout suggest many boomers associate understaffing with longer checkout lines, slower service and fewer opportunities for personal interaction with employees.
Going hand-in-hand with frustrations over self-checkout and understaffed stores, many baby boomers also dislike the growing absence of dedicated grocery baggers.

Plenty of boomers complain on social media about this modern grocery-store, expressing frustration at doing their own labor, according to The Takeout.
Millennials, those born between 1981 and 1996, comprise the generation most likely to spend money on prepared grocery meals, a U.S. Department of Agriculture survey found. Prepared meals often cost significantly more than cooking from raw ingredients because shoppers pay for the added convenience.
According to research summarized by the Institute of Food Technologists from FMI’s (originally the Food Marketing Institute) U.S. Grocery Shopper Trends report, 29% of shoppers ages 65 and older reported buying prepared foods to save time, compared with 45% of shoppers ages 15 to 24.
Fans stunned at Travis Kelce's training camp physique after nuptials to Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce is turning heads at the Kansas City Chiefs training camp, but not with his play.
Fans were stunned by the star tight end's physique this week after his nuptials to Taylor Swift nearly a month ago. Videos of Kelce walking onto the field surfaced online, and fans didn’t hold back in the comments.
"Is he playing (offensive line) this season?" one user quipped on X.

Another fan said Kelce is "halfway out the door with a beer in his hand."
One fan compared Kelce’s physique to his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles star center Jason Kelce.
"Bro showed up to camp looking like he has his brothers beer belly," the user wrote.
"That’s Jason Kelce now," another user wrote with a sobbing emoji.
NFL LEGEND ROB GRONKOWSKI DETAILS TRAVIS KELCE AND TAYLOR SWIFT'S 'MAGNIFICENT' WEDDING
Another fan compared Kelce to his head coach, Andy Reid.
"Looks like he’s really locked in to try and get himself into character to take Andy Reid’s job someday," the user wrote.
Multiple fans commented that he seemed to enjoy himself at the wedding buffet. Kelce’s wedding to Swift was nearly a month ago, when they tied the knot on July 3, at Madison Square Garden in front of about 1,000 attendees.
The 11-time Pro Bowler is heading into his 14th season in the NFL. Despite the Chiefs having a down year and missing the playoffs, Kelce was still productive last season. He played in all 17 games, recording 76 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns.
His total of 1,080 career receptions is the most among active players in the NFL. If Patrick Mahomes is able to return from his ACL injury and start Week 1, Kelce will be one of his top targets.

Assisted living sent resident to doctor's appointment after giving him 18 shots, 5 am beer: officials
State investigators from Minnesota's Department of Health claimed an assisted living facility provided a mentally ill man with 18 shots of liquor in the 24 hours before a doctor's appointment.
State investigators concluded that Covered Bridge Assisted Living in Holdingford was responsible for neglect after supplying resident Don Brambrink with a substantial amount of alcohol before his doctor's appointment, affiliate FOX 9 Minneapolis reported.
Authorities were alerted when Brambrink missed his scheduled telehealth appointment after drinking too much while fishing.
IS DRINKING EVERY DAY ALCOHOLISM? EXPERTS EXPLAIN WHERE CULTURE AND ADDICTION COLLIDE
The facility's registered nurse (RN) told investigators that Brambrink was "dead to the world" after drinking while fishing, according to an investigative report from the Department of Health.
"The night before the scheduled appointment, the resident was given 2 shots of alcohol at 6:54 p.m., 2 shots at 8 p.m., and 2 shots at 9:20 p.m. The morning of the appointment, staff gave the resident 2 shots at 3:55 a.m., a beer at 5 a.m., 2 shots at 5:55 a.m., 2 shots at 8:15 a.m., 2 shots at 9:15 a.m., and 2 shots at 10:55 a.m., and 2 shots at 12:30 p.m.," the report read.
Brambrink's primary care physician, according to the report, requested he be sent to the emergency room.
HIKER'S UNEXPLAINED DEATH EXPOSES DEADLY ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL RISK MANY DON'T RECOGNIZE
"When someone from the PCP’s office called back to request vital signs be taken, the RN reported the resident was found down on the floor and that he 'didn’t feel right.' He was transported to the emergency room shortly after," the report claimed.
Hospital staff wanted to keep Brambrink overnight to evaluate him for alcohol withdrawal, but he refused, telling them he "would rather go home and continue to drink," the report states.
Brambrink's blood alcohol level was at 0.23%, almost 3x the legal limit of 0.08%, according to the report.
The assisted care resident had numerous mental health diagnoses, including psychoactive substance abuse and anxiety, according to the report.
"The resident’s assessment indicated the resident had heard voices for 40 years and was homeless prior to moving into the facility. The resident was noted to have a history of alcohol use, drank alcohol daily, and had a history of meth use," the report read.
The facility had a typed-out "alcohol plan" for Brambrink which stipulated he gets two shots per hour because he was "trying to drown out the voices," the report stated.
Covered Bridge's owner Trista Barstow defended her facility's actions in an interview with FOX 9, arguing that her facility is one of the few that will take in what she called "extreme alcoholics."
"Monitoring them and trying to help them space these things out is actually a step-up. Which, sounds insane," she admitted.
"We respectfully disagree with the cited deficiency and intend to appeal. We believe our policies, individualized care planning, and documentation reflect our commitment to resident rights, resident safety, and compliance with Minnesota assisted living regulations," she said in a statement.
"Under the Minnesota Resident Bill of Rights, competent adult residents have the right to make lawful personal choices, including whether to consume alcohol. That includes the right to make decisions we may not agree with or recommend, including excessive drinking," Barstow added. "Our responsibility is not to make those decisions for residents, but to educate them about the risks, assess their health and safety, monitor for concerns, and respond appropriately when intervention is needed.
"If a resident's condition requires medical evaluation or emergency care, we take the appropriate steps to ensure their safety, including arranging transport to the emergency department when necessary."
Fox News Digital contacted Covered Bridge and the Minnesota Department of Health for further comment.
Mamdani extends deadline for NYC homeowners to seek exemption from new pied-à-terre tax
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has given homeowners in New York City an additional month to apply to be exempt from his new pied-à-terre tax, which went into effect on July 1.
Homeowners across the five boroughs who believe they should qualify for an exemption now have until Sept. 18 to apply for one, according to City Hall. The previous deadline was Aug. 21.
The extended deadline, city officials said, applies to anyone who received notices from the Department of Finance (DOF) with the phrase "You may be subject to..."
The pied-à-terre tax, passed by the New York State Legislature in May, imposes an annual surcharge on certain high-value New York City homes worth more than $5 million that are not the owner's primary residence.
LIBERAL PODCASTER SAYS HE WAS 'DOXED' BY MAMDANI'S 'WANTED POSTER' OF PROPERTY OWNERS
The city's finance department said the extension was necessary to give homeowners more time to prove that their home is in fact their primary residence, which would mean the tax would not apply to them.
Some homeowners were initially confused because on July 24, the city published a list of more than 900,000 properties in a "supplemental market value roll" without explaining that the vast majority of them would not be getting hit with the pied-à-terre tax.
"This roll includes, but is not limited to, those properties that may be subject to the surcharge," according to a city webpage archived on Monday.
On Thursday, the webpage was updated with the following disclaimer: "Not every property or unit listed in the roll will be subject to the surcharge. Only property owners to whom DOF sent a notification by mail are required to take further action."
On Saturday, the same webpage was updated once again, clarifying that the DOF had only sent surcharge letters to 17,000 homeowners, and that only those people should concern themselves with sending an exemption application to the city.
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's office for comment.
Mamdani announced the new levy on April 15 — Tax Day — in a controversial video filmed outside Ken Griffin’s $238 million penthouse on Billionaires’ Row, singling out the hedge fund manager by name as an example of the wealthy second-home owners the tax would target.
Griffin later described the video as "creepy and weird" during a discussion at the Milken Institute Global Conference on May 6. He said he watched it three times.
Despite objections from real-estate and business leaders who warned that the tax could drive investment out of the city, state lawmakers approved it as part of the budget, which Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law on May 28.
The tax will apply during the 2026-27 and 2027-28 property-tax years to secondary residences — including one-, two- and three-family properties — worth more than $5 million.
Individual condo units and co-op units will be taxed if they are valued at $1 million or more.
Father of slain Marine speaks out after illegal immigrant who killed son faces third deportation
The father of a U.S. Marine killed in a hit-and-run crash involving an illegal immigrant is speaking out after federal authorities arrested the man for a third time as he once again faces deportation.
Martin Martinez-Ballinas, 38, a Mexican national, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on July 22 after serving a federal prison sentence for illegally reentering the United States. He now faces his third deportation, according to federal authorities.
Federal officials said Martinez-Ballinas was convicted in connection with a 2017 crash in Maryland that killed 21-year-old U.S. Marine James Ray Walden III.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO KILLED NASHVILLE RESTAURANT OWNER TO FACE ICE DEPORTATION AFTER PRISON
After being deported in 2020, Martinez-Ballinas was caught attempting to illegally reenter the U.S. in Texas the following year and was sentenced to 15 months in prison. ICE removed him again in October 2022 but said he later reentered the country undetected, blaming the Biden administration's border policies. Agents ultimately arrested him in Maryland in December 2023.
ICE took custody of Martinez-Ballinas after he completed his federal prison sentence in New Jersey.
Walden said Martinez-Ballinas was driving without a license or insurance when he crossed into his son's lane and struck his motorcycle head-on.
ICE URGES NORTH CAROLINA TO KEEP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHARGED IN TRIPLE-FATAL HIT-AND-RUN BEHIND BARS
He said he later learned Maryland officials knew Martinez-Ballinas was in the country illegally and that he had been arrested five times between 2012 and 2017 but was released each time.
Walden remembered his son as an accomplished Marine and gifted intelligence analyst whose future was cut short.
"My son was 21 years old. He was just starting his life," Walden said Friday during an appearance on The Will Cain Show. "He was in the Marine Corps. He worked for Intel. He worked for the National Security Agency as a crypto-analyst, basically Jimmy Spide with a computer. He was extremely good at what he did. His NSA boss told me that he was one of the most gifted analysts he'd ever worked with. And they were wanting him, once he got out of the Marine Corps, to come to work for them."
HARRIS CALLS FOR ICE PROBE AFTER MAINE SHOOTING AMID RENEWED 'BORDER CZAR' CRITICISM
"And all that ended in the blink of an eye," he added.
Walden pushed back on calls by some Democratic leaders to abolish ICE.
"It's got to be one of the most insane ideas I've ever heard," he said. "I cannot believe that they're condemning our ICE agents and our DHS for actually doing their job and enforcing the laws that Congress passed."
When asked what his message was for politicians seeking to eliminate the agency, Walden said his son's death showed why immigration enforcement remains necessary.
"You're never gonna understand the pain, the hole in your soul that this brings until it happens to you," he said. "And don't think that it can't. It can happen to anyone at any time. My son was minding his own business. He'd gone for a ride after work, doing nothing wrong, and his life was taken.
"You can't predict it, but you can prevent it," he added.
Walden credited President Donald Trump for prioritizing immigration enforcement.
"I believe that he's probably going to go down as one of the greatest presidents in this country," Walden said. "He stood by what he said, he said what he was going to do and he's doing it."
