Pro-Palestinian activist refuses to condemn political violence after threat against her is foiled
Nerdeen Kiswani, a Palestinian-American activist, blasted what she called Zionist aggression after investigators foiled a Molotov cocktail plot against her life — but refused to condemn political violence across the board.
In the past, Kiswani’s organization, Within Our Lifetime (WOL), has drawn scrutiny for refusing to condemn U.S.-designated terror organizations.
"For years, I and so many other Palestinian organizers have been the targets of coordinated harassment, threats, stalking," Kiswani said at a press event.
Undercover investigators prevented Alexander Heifler, 26, from carrying out a plan to make and use Molotov cocktails against Kiswani late last month. According to court filings, Heifler had made as many as 12 incendiary devices and was preparing to throw them at Kiswani’s car and home.

She also said she believed Palestinians had the right to act in their own interests.
"I believe that in accordance with international law, the victims of a genocide have the right to defend themselves, and I also believe the American people should be concerned about Zionist terrorist organizations attempting to assassinate their critics on the streets of American cities."
She did not clarify if self-defense also included acts of violence.
CONTRIBUTOR FOR FAR-LEFT OUTLET CALLS FOR 'WIPING OUT ISRAEL,' SAYS ISRAELIS 'MUSTN'T FEEL SAFE'
Reacting to Kiswani’s statement, Yuval David, a fellow with the Middle East Forum, a pro-Israel research group, said Kiswani’s framing did not come as a surprise.
"She refuses to condemn political violence, and she also refuses to condone terrorism because she tries to manipulate the narrative to justify terrorism by calling it resistance," David said.
David noted that Kiswani’s organization has shied away from condemning violence against Israel in the past.
WOL made headlines in the wake of Hamas’ terror attack on Israel in October 2023 for its anti-Israel support, stating in online messaging that "we are anti-Zionists" and that the "liberation of Palestine requires the abolition of Zionism."
David recalled WOL’s messaging to its followers at the outset of the Israel-Hamas war.
"A month after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad attacks [Kiswani] and her organization published maps of Jewish organizations across New York City, labeled them as having, quote, ‘blood on their hands.’ And told followers to, quote, ‘know your enemy.’ She said that the map should serve as a call for every struggle to act," David said.
The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism has said WOL demonstrates "very explicit support for violence against Israeli civilians in support of terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine."
For its part, WOL has said it is anti-Zionist, not antisemitic.
After news of the plot against Kiswani broke, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called on viewers to denounce violence across the board.
"We do not tolerate any kind of violent extremism in this city. No one should face violence for their political beliefs or for their advocacy. And I am relieved she is safe," Mamdani said in a press event.
When asked if she would condemn political violence in the wake of the foiled plot, Kiswani blasted the inquiry.
"Since its inception, Fox News has not only cheerled the Israeli occupation of Palestine, it has spread lies that launched the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which led to the deaths of over a million people, and it presently supports Trump and Israel's war on Iran," Kiswani told Fox News Digital.
"It is ironic that a news network that glorifies violence when carried out in the interest of American imperialism puts the burden on me, the Palestinian victim of a Zionist terrorist plot, to explain my position on political violence," she continued.
Natasha Lyonne hits red carpet days after reportedly being removed from Delta flight
From plane drama to red carpet glam, Natasha Lyonne made a bold return to the spotlight.
The Hollywood actress appeared unfazed at the premiere of "Lorne" in New York despite the turbulence she faced just days earlier when she was escorted off a plane in Los Angeles on April 7 after reportedly being unresponsive to crew members' requests.
Lyonne was all smiles at the event on April 9, rocking a black midi dress over a white button-up shirt, paired with black boots.
Lyonne attended the "Lorne" afterparty and mingled with friends, including "Saturday Night Live" alum Seth Meyers and cast member Sarah Sherman. Following the event, Lyonne took to X and reacted to the film: "Beautiful documentary on Lorne by Morgan Neville. Laughed a whole lot."
On Friday, the "Orange is the New Black" actress addressed the reports of her removal from the flight earlier this week, claiming that she'd taken a sleeping pill after boarding.
"Indeed, I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red-eye flight to NYC," she wrote on X. She explained that she boarded the flight with nothing more than a backpack and sneakers, "eager for a nap."
Lyonne said her plan was to "be bushy tailed & beauty rested," as she was scheduled to head straight to glam for an event with Drew Barrymore upon landing.
However, things took an unexpected twist when she was allegedly detained by ICE.
"Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess," Lyonne wrote in part.
The actress quickly clarified that she’s had no issues with Delta or TSA in the past, and added, "Heart is with our unpaid @TSA workers. Apologies to any travelers who were delayed."

The appearance comes on the heels of a reported incident aboard a Delta flight, where Lyonne was said to be "out of it" while seated in first class. Just hours before the incident, Lyonne had attended the season 3 premiere of "Euphoria."
According to reports, she did not respond when flight attendants asked her to close her laptop and fasten her seat belt for takeoff. Concern escalated after the plane had already taxied.

"Ma’am, do you need medical attention?" a flight attendant allegedly asked, according to Page Six. "Ma’am, I need you to come off the plane. Do you need help with your belongings?"
"Where are we?" Lyonne reportedly responded, before being told, "We’re still in L.A. The plane hasn’t gone anywhere. The plane is not going anywhere until you come off it."
The actress ultimately de-boarded voluntarily.
The captain later addressed passengers, saying, "We have a passenger who, for whatever reason … wouldn’t follow some basic commands … We had a passenger who didn’t seem up to the task tonight, so that’s why they were asked to be booked on another flight — I do apologize for the inconvenience."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Lyonne and Delta for comment.
The moment also comes months after she publicly revealed a relapse following a decade of sobriety.
"Took my relapse public more to come," Lyonne wrote on X in January. "Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you’re not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet."
"Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets," she added. "If no one told ya today, I love you. No matter how far down the scales we have gone, we will see how our experience may help another. Keep going, kiddos. Don’t quit before the miracle. Wallpaper your mind with love. Rest is all noise & baloney."
The "Russian Doll" actress shared a more hopeful update last month: "Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet. Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it."

North Carolina farmer points to dirt under his fingernails as reason why Democrats can't connect with rural US
A North Carolina farmer told CNN Friday that the Democratic Party was still unable to connect with the working class as Democrats hope to win back Congress, including critical seats in the state.
"This right here, getting it under your fingernails," the farmer, Ed Winebarger, said as he picked up a handful of dirt. "Democrats have a hard time with this. They can't show a connection to the working class."
Winebarger, however, was also critical of President Donald Trump's administration.
"Everything‘s expensive. Inflation hasn‘t stopped," he said. "It‘s continuing for supplies and now for fuel. Now we‘re at war. Transportation costs, fuel, machinery, equipment, labor. Amendments, fertilizers all more expensive."
AFFORDABILITY: THE ISSUE THAT BOOSTED TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS IN 2024 DEFLATED THEM IN 2025
"President Trump has always been clear about short-term disruptions as a result of Operation Epic Fury, but the administration has been committed to mitigating these disruptions while continuing to enact President Trump’s proven agenda to restore American prosperity," White House spokesman Kush Desai told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"Farmers were key to President Trump’s resounding Election Day victory, and the President continues to prioritize farmers with trade deals that have opened up markets worth trillions with billions of potential customers for American agricultural production, on top of slashing Biden era red tape."
King reported that success in North Carolina for the Democratic Party would require reversing five decades of party decline in rural areas.
"There‘s a lot of anger with the voting base. And America has traditionally gone after the angry candidate," Winebarger told King. "They feel represented by that anger. Democrats need to do more to connect rural America."
King also spoke to John Copus, a voter, at an event in Marshall, North Carolina, for Jamie Ager, a Democratic farmer running for Congress in the state's 11th District.
"I think we lost our way," Copus said. "I don't know, like we got caught up doing something that didn‘t connect with the people in rural America. And that‘s why we need to run candidates like Jamie, because he is of this place, like, he is our people. So, I don't think it‘s a lost cause."
Copus also said he understood why people voted for Trump in the last election.
"I get it, you know. I know why people, like, voted for Trump around here because, you know, everyone feels like it's stacked against them," he told King. "But that hasn't changed like that. I don't think any of those people are like, ‘Oh, we’re doing better now than we were,' because we're not."

Court poised to block Trump tariffs again, teeing up new fight
The Court of International Trade on Friday appeared skeptical of President Donald Trump's use of a little-known emergency trade law to justify his sweeping, 10% global tariffs — teeing up a familiar, if technically new, legal fight focused on when and how a sitting president can act to unilaterally impose steep import fees on most U.S. trading partners.
During nearly two hours of arguments, a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of International Trade grappled with Trump's use of Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 — an emergency provision designed to address "large and serious" balance-of-payments problems — and its applicability in today's economy.
Under Section 122, a president has the authority to unilaterally impose import fees of up to 15% on U.S. trading partners for a period of 150 days, to respond to large and serious "balance of payments deficits," or instances that risk immediately depreciating the power of the dollar.
Arguments before the court hinged on interpretation of the "balance of payments deficits" phrase, and whether the persistent U.S. trade deficits cited by Trump in invoking Section 122 aligned with the kind of crisis that Congress had envisioned when it passed the trade law in the mid-1970s.
TRUMP WARNS SUPREME COURT TARIFF SHOWDOWN IS ‘LIFE OR DEATH’ FOR AMERICA
Members of the three-judge panel appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's arguments, and questioned whether Congress intended the statute to apply to specific instances of international currency pressures, rather than long-running trade imbalances.
"Are you really saying that a large trade deficit alone is sufficient?" the judge asked Justice Department lawyer Brett Shumate, adding, "I don’t think it is, and I think Congress didn’t think it is."
Congress, Shumate argued, had provided presidents with broad discretion to assess economic conditions, and to identify what "balance of power" deficits warrant emergency intervention.
Shumate also ticked through a list of other economic indicators Trump cited in his proclamation — including the current account deficit, and the "net international investment" position, among other things.
"The important point," Shumate said, "is that Congress provided the president [with] discretion."
FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS 5 TRUMP TARIFF EXECUTIVE ORDERS
The arguments come weeks after a group of 24 attorneys general sued the administration over Trump's use of Section 122, arguing that the move was an illegal attempt to "sidestep" the Supreme Court's ruling in February that blocked Trump's use of an emergency economic powers law to unilaterally impose his so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs.
Shumate said Friday that both authorities — IEEPA and Section 122 — were available to Trump, and told the court that Trump could have invoked Section 122 earlier.
Lawyers for the challenges told the court Friday that upholding the administration’s broader view of the law would effectively turn Section 122 into an all-purpose trade weapon.
TRUMP TARIFF PLAN FACES UNCERTAIN FUTURE AS COURT BATTLES INTENSIFY
Jeffrey Schwab, a lawyer representing one set of challengers in Friday's case, said the government’s theory was "very, very, very broad," adding that it could allow the president to act "at any point, at any moment that he wants, forever."
Trump is the first president to attempt to use both IEEPA and Section 122 to unilaterally impose tariffs.
The case is seen broadly as one that could help define the outer bounds of presidential tariff authority.
If nothing else, the novelty of both cases, and the skepticism on display by the trade court Friday suggests the new Section 122 tariffs might follow a legal fight that is similar to his first.
Canadian politician goes viral for using sprawling LGBT acronym critics compare to a Wi-Fi password
A Canadian politician went viral on social media after spelling out the acronym of an identity in the LGBT community known as "MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+," sparking mockery and comparisons online that it sounded like a "WiFi password."
Leah Gazan, a member of Canada's New Democratic Party, shared the term during recent public remarks in which she lamented the Canadian government cutting $7 billion from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada's budget.
"When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations," Gazan said.
"They provided zero to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. This is abhorrent. This is callous."
The term stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual Plus people. MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ is a term adopted by the Canadian government in its efforts to keep track of missing and murdered indigenous people. Notably, the lengthy acronym excludes indigenous missing boys and straight men.
Many accounts poked fun at Gazan, such as the Morse Report, which wrote on X that the LGBT community has "gone from a group of people to a PASSWORD you have to set for a banking app!"
"It's the WiFi that comes pre-set on the router!" the Morse Report wrote.
The viral video even garnered a comment from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
"The mental institutions were closed far too quickly…." Cruz wrote on X.
"So apparently they'd added murdered people into the LGBT community," political commentator Matt Walsh wrote on X. "Murdered is now a queer identity. This is the kind of innovation we get from Canada."
"They front loaded this acronym with true victims —dead or missing girls — and then they leached off that valid suffering," Fox News' Greg Gutfeld said. "It's stolen valor. It's stolen victim hood."
CANADA’S CARNEY UNDER PRESSURE TO ACT AFTER SYNAGOGUES SHOT AT IN LATEST ANTISEMITIC INCIDENTS
Gazan shared a clip of her speaking on X, along with a lengthy written post in which she continued to rail against the Canadian government for not meeting its "legal obligations to end the ongoing genocide against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people."
"Is the safety of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people not in the national interest?" Gazan wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Gazan for comment.
Teens suspected of murdering congressional intern linked by DNA on shell casings, prosecutors say
DNA evidence has linked two of the teenagers charged in the shooting death of a University of Massachusetts student who was working as a congressional intern in Washington, D.C. last summer, prosecutors alleged.
Government attorneys told Washington, D.C. Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson during a Friday status hearing that testing on shell casings recovered at the scene produced an "overwhelming statistical match" to Jailen Lucas, and that DNA also ties Kelvin Thomas to the shooting.
The two suspects, who were both 17 at the time of the shooting, are charged as adults with first-degree murder while armed in the killing of Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, of Granby, Massachusetts.
SUSPECT IN MURDERS OF CONGRESSIONAL INTERN AND 17-YEAR-OLD ARRESTED MONTHS AFTER SHOOTINGS: OFFICIAL

Lucas and Thomas were arrested Sept. 5. On Oct. 31, a third suspect, identified as 18-year-old Naqwan Antonio Lucas of the District of Columbia, was arrested in Montgomery Village and also charged in Tarpinian-Jachym's murder.
A pretrial hearing is scheduled for May 15. The trial is expected to begin in February. Tarpinian-Jachym's mother declined to comment when contacted by Fox News Digital.

Bryson DeChambeau not pleased with 3D-printed club question after eventful day at Augusta National
After a rough first round at Augusta National Thursday, Bryson DeChambeau did not appear too pleased when he was asked about his 3D-printed 5-iron.
The two-time U.S. Open champion had an eventful first round at the Masters, hitting a patron with a tee shot on the sixth hole before taking three separate bunker shots on the 11th.
After the round, he had to face the media, and he was asked about the process of making his special club other than the driver.

DeChambeau said it's roughly a "day-and-a-half" process to make a club, so when he was asked if he "would want to" go through the process of making another one, it was a hard no.
"Pfft, no. It has to be USGA-conforming. There's a whole process you have to go through," he said.
It’s a club he built himself.
"There's this nature that I have about myself where innovation is a habit of mine, and I really find and take pride in that ability to learn — even through failure, even through making a bad decision or a good decision — what I can get from that," he told ESPN.
"We'll see where it goes. We'll see where it takes me. All I could say now is, if I don't put them in the bag, it's my fault now."
DeChambeau said after the round that he only used the club once on Thursday.
Last year, DeChambeau was in the final group of the Masters alongside eventual winner Rory McIlroy. The two were paired together to end the prior year's U.S. Open as well, which DeChambeau won in part due to bad putting by McIlroy and a forever-remembered up-and-down by DeChambeau from the bunker on 18 at Pinehurst No. 2.
But DeChambeau could not find similar success Thursday after shooting a 4-over 76, putting himself in danger of missing the cut.
DeChambeau had the second-best odds of winning the tournament behind only Scottie Scheffler.

Coco Gauff ends social media hiatus to clap back at critics of her natural hair in latest ad
Coco Gauff deleted social media for a month but felt the need to return and post a message on TikTok earlier this week.
The tennis star's message came in an eight-minute-long video after she said she had become aware of negative comments about her appearance, including her natural hair, in a new advertisement for Miu Miu.
Gauff explained the behind-the-scenes of the photoshoot and photo selection process, as well as how she didn't want her hair slicked back for photos because it's "not good for my hair."
CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM
"There are thousands of people talking about the way that I look, and not in a positive way..." Gauff began.
"I’m not gonna apologize for the way that my hair looked, because there are other girls who had the exact same hair as me, and I just wanted them to feel represented that your hair is literally fine the way it is. My hair was good enough for a high-fashionable brand like Miu Miu to promote one of their newest launches. So if my 4C hair is good enough for that, yours is good enough to do whatever it is you need it to do. I'm not going to apologize for that."
Gauff also explained that she did minimal makeup for the photos, rather than a "full face," to connect with fans through that "minimum" Miu Miu "aesthetic."
"To all the young Black girls out there who have kinky hair like me, do what you want to do with your hair. . . .Do what you want to do, because at the end of the day, people who hate on your appearance and hate on the way you look have something deeply insecure about themselves. The only reason people comment on people's looks, especially people who present themselves in their most natural sense, have something deeply wrong with them. And they're insecure about themselves, so they feel the need to put someone else down to make themselves feel better."
By the same token, Gauff also expressed that those who want to wear weaves, wigs, makeup and "the whole shebang" should if they want to.
"Do what you want to do. Minimal is beautiful. Camp is beautiful. Both spectrums, anything in between, is beautiful."
Gauff admitted she was feeling "rough" after seeing the criticism.
"Y'all did knock a diva down, I'm not gonna lie," she said. "I'm someone who has struggled with my looks throughout my life just being a young Black girl in this world. . . . But diva got up, and I feel better than ever," she said.
"And I just want any person who's watching this who does feel insecure about themselves, you are perfectly fine, honestly."
The 2023 U.S. Open champion will defend her French Open title beginning May 19.

Chicago suburb locals hope reparations addresses 'affordability pressures' as Black population dwindles
Residents of a Chicago suburb hope its local reparations program "could alleviate affordability pressures" as the Black population dwindles in the city, according to a new report.
The Evanston Daily, a news outlet that covers Evanston, spoke with locals about housing affordability amid a "Black exodus," raising concern from residents.
"It’s become more about green than Black," community activist Meleika Gardner told the Daily. "It’s about the money and who can afford to stay here."
Rev. Michael C. R. Nabors, the president of Evanston’s National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, believes the city is "losing a stock of our diversity."
CHICAGO MOVES TOWARD REPARATIONS WITH BUS TOURS AND TOWN HALLS AS $150M DEFICIT LOOMS
"We have not been able to replace Blacks who are moving because housing has just gone up out of this world," Nabors said.
He continued, "For the Blacks who’ve been here for a generation or more, their parents or grandparents probably bought homes for a fraction of that amount."
"Beyond zoning, some community members told The Daily the city’s reparations program could also help alleviate affordability pressures. Nabors said the program is a ‘major, important first step’ to address population shifts," the outlet reported.
Evanston issued $25,000 to 44 residents in reparations payments, the City’s Reparations Committee announced in February. So far, at least 137 people have received reparations payments totaling $3.47 million, and more are expected by year’s end, reaching 171 recipients with about $4 million allocated to direct descendants.
REPARATIONS ADVOCATES PUSH FOR PAYMENTS TO BLACK AMERICANS DESPITE BUDGET AND LEGAL CHALLENGES
The program, which launched in 2019 to address past racial housing discrimination, provides $25,000 direct cash payments to Black residents and descendants of Black residents who lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969. Evanston was the first U.S. city to pass a reparations plan, pledging $10 million over a decade to Black residents.
"Millions of those dollars now are being used to support Black families in Evanston that have been damaged by historical racism related to housing," Nabors added.
However, one resident disagreed with the reparations program. Darlene Cannon told the Daily that the program is "not repairing anything."
"We had redlining here, and my family was forced to live in the 2nd Ward instead of being given an option to live in the 6th or 7th Ward," Cannon said. "Twenty-five thousand dollars doesn’t make up for the true damage that was caused."
"Still, Nabors said he sees reparations as the beginning of a ‘cooperation’ between Black residents and city developers and officials. Going forward, he said building multi-unit properties could help Black residents stay in Evanston," the Daily reported.
Evanston officials did not respond to a request for comment.
ILLINOIS REPARATIONS COMMISSION RELEASES LENGTHY REPORT OF STATE'S 'HARMS' AGAINST BLACK CITIZENS
The future of Evanston’s reparations program is in question as the city faces a lawsuit that was recently given the green light to proceed, overcoming the defendant’s case to dismiss the matter.
Conservative group Judicial Watch represents five plaintiffs who allege the program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. They filed the lawsuit against the reparations program over its use of race as an eligibility requirement.
The city reacted to the judge's ruling in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"The city is aware of the court’s recent ruling. The city will continue to vehemently defend this case," a spokesperson for the city said.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has launched a community engagement effort called "Repair Chicago" to gather experiences of harm of Black Chicagoans as part of an effort to implement reparations.
