House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, rebuked President Donald Trump on Sunday and said he should keep his “reckless mouth shut” after the president called Democrats the “greatest enemy” in America.

“Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democratic Party! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT,” the president wrote on Truth Social.

CNN’s Dana Bash asked Jeffries to react to the statement during Sunday’s “State of the Union.”

“Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed,” Jeffries said.

HOUSE VOTES TO LET TRUMP’S OPERATION EPIC FURY CONTINUE IN IRAN

Jeffries also spoke to Bash about the war in Iran, which he described as a “reckless war of choice.”

“They clearly didn’t anticipate some of the things that have happened, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. What you’re seeing right now are gas prices are through the roof, and that’s adding to an environment in America right now where life has already become too expensive for the American people because of failed policies by Donald Trump,” he said.

Jeffries did not say whether he would support any more funding for the Pentagon or whether he would urge Democrats to vote “no.”

SUNNY HOSTIN DISMISSES ‘THE VIEW’ GUEST HOST’S IRAN WAR COMMENTS: ‘IF THAT HELPS YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT’

“Well, we’ll have that leadership conversation when we actually have a piece of legislation that is in front of us. But I can tell you, uh, there is strong opposition right now to the notion that this war of choice — that is reckless, that’s costing the American people now more than $30 billion — should continue. We need to move, which we plan on doing in short order, a War Powers Resolution so we can bring this situation to a close,” he said.

Jeffries previously predicted the war would result in “failure” for the U.S.

“The American people want us to focus on making their life better and making their life more affordable; not getting involved in another endless war in the Middle East that is going to end in failure. This administration somehow found the resources, has found billions of dollars for bombs but can’t find any money to actually bring down the high cost of living here in the United States of America,” Jeffries said.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Russians posing as Signal support to launch phishing raids • The Register

0

Infosec In Brief Russian intelligence-affiliated parties are posing as customer support services on commercial messaging applications such as Signal to compromise accounts and conduct phishing attacks, the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned last Friday.

The attacks target people with high intelligence value, like former government officials, military figures, politicians, and even journalists [We’re flattered – Ed] have snared thousands of individual accounts, allowing the Russians to read and send messages, and gather info from contact lists.

The attackers send messages advising users of “suspicious activity” related to their accounts and urge clicking a link to conduct a verification process. Once victims click, the baddies connect their accounts to the victim’s, or completely take over the account if the user is daft enough to submit credentials or a 2FA code.

Signal remains a highly secure way to exchange messages, but not even the best end-to-end encryption can stop intruders if users invite them in.

The FBI and CISA offer standard anti-phishing recommendations in their brief about the attacks.

Uncle Sam seizes four domains used for Iranian psyops

The US Department of Justice has seized domains associated with the Iran-linked group behind the cyberattack on med-tech firm Stryker.

These websites, the feds say, were used to incite violence and claim credit for disrupting the US med-tech firm’s operations. The domains were Justicehomeland[.]org, Handala-Hack.[to], Karmabelow80[.]org and Handala-Redwanted[.]to.

The attack in question hit US med-tech firm Stryker through a hole in Microsoft Intune, wiping out information on employees’ devices. Iranian hacktivist group Handala, considered to be a front for the nation’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), claimed credit for the Stryker attack on one of the sites, Handala-hack[.]to.

Operators of the sites also used them to doxx members of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and to post claims of having stolen 851GB of confidential data from the Sanzer Hasidic Jewish Community.

FBI chief Kash Patel warned in a statement: “This FBI will hunt down every actor behind these cowardly death threats and cyberattacks and will bring the full force of American law enforcement down on them.”

But someone claiming to represent Handala was not impressed, posting a defiant message that states: “They may have taken down our website, but they will never take down our spirit, our resolve, or the power of truth.”

That “truth” apparently includes allegations of “witchcraft ceremonies” by the Sanzer community, according to the FBI’s statement, echoing age-old antisemitic myths used to justify violence towards Jewish people.

Banking services company warns 670,000 people of data theft

Marquis, a company that provides services to banks, sent out warning notices to more than 670,000 people that their information was stolen by a ransomware gang last August.

The letter [PDF] poses the terrifying question: “Who Are We, and Why Do We Have Your Information?”, before explaining the company is a marketing provider for financial institutions.

Stolen data reportedly included sensitive info like Social Security numbers, taxpayer IDs, and account info.

In an attempt to make things right, Marquis offered victims one month’s free membership to a service from Epiq Privacy Solutions that’s meant to monitor misuse of personal information and resolve identity theft. It also encouraged victims to “remain vigilant by reviewing your account statements and credit reports for any unauthorized activity over the next 12 to 24 months,” as if we all don’t have enough on our plates already.

LeakNet discovers ClickFix social engineering

The LeakNet ransomware group has moved on from its usual tactic of buying stolen credentials and now uses the ClickFix social engineering scam, according to a new report from security shop Reliaquest.

ClickFix, which we’ve covered before, uses fake messages, delivered through compromised but legitimate websites, to convince victims to take actions such as running commands that load a rootkit or other malware.

LeakNet uses ClickFix to serve a fake “prove you are not a robot” dialog that asks users to open the Windows Run dialog with the Win + R shortcut and paste in a command that appears to be a link to a Cloudflare Turnstile verification page, but actually runs an msiexec command.

That command downloads and executes a cleverly disguised loader based on the (legitimate) Deno runtime, which then runs the bad code directly in memory, helping to disguise the attack from file-focused forensic scanning techniques.

The tactic, Reliaquest warns, could let LeakNet expand beyond its current hit rate of about three victims per month.

The AWS sandbox that isn’t

Security outfit BeyondTrust Phantom Labs claims that the AWS Bedrock AgentCore code interpreter’s sandbox isn’t much of a sandbox at all. Although Amazon said running this service in sandbox mode blocked external access entirely, Phantom Labs claims that public DNS queries get through, which could let malevolent outsiders establish command-and-control channels and suck out data.

Phantom Labs says it told AWS about the problem last September through a HackerOne report, and AWS deployed a fix in November 2025 – but later rolled it back “due to other factors.” The end result? In December, Amazon updated its documentation to recommend customers use virtual private cloud mode if they want complete control over all inbound traffic.

Amazon awarded the researcher a $100 gift card to the AWS Gear Shop, Phantom Labs says.

Strava leaks location of aircraft carrier

French newspaper Le Monde last week reported that a mariner aboard an aircraft carrier went for a seven-kilometer run on its deck – while tracking it with his smartwatch, which later uploaded the run to the exercise-tracking site Strava.

The aircraft carrier’s location was therefore visible to the world, which The Register understands is a fact navies don’t like to reveal. France’s armed forces should know better, given president Emmanuel Macron’s bodyguards reportedly leaked their locations with the fitness app. – Simon Sharwood ®

I realized I could create my own opportunities instead of waiting for them.”

For turning 20, she said: “Ambitious, anxious, and my first taste of fame.”

Witherspoon continued: “I was scared of everything, but I kept going. I threw myself into roles like Election and Cruel Intentions, and then I won an Oscar at 29 for Walk the Line. I was working nonstop, trying to figure out life, how to be a mom, and I had no idea what I was doing half the time. But I was learning, and discovering that I could handle more than I thought.”

Many of Tehran’s top leaders – from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to senior security figures – have been assassinated by the United States and Israel,

US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have framed the killings as victories in their war on Iran.

And that means the loss of any individual should not lead to the downfall of the system.

But how does this unique leadership structure work?

0

The initiative for dialogue has raised hopes of peace in the violence-hit northeastern state of Manipur. Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh has described the meeting with the Kuki-Jo Council (KZC) as a good start towards restoring peace in the state and enhancing trust among the Kuki-Meitai communities. The meeting held in Guwahati on Saturday was the first formal conversation between the two sides after nearly three years.



Chief Minister Khemchand said on Sunday that the talks will continue further and its aim is to establish peace in Manipur. The meeting lasted about 1 hour 45 minutes, which the Kuki Council described as an ice-breaking session. More than 260 people have died and thousands have been rendered homeless in violence between the Meitai and Kuki-Jo communities in Manipur since May 2023.

What did Manipur CM Khemchand Singh say?
Chief Minister Khemchand said, the biggest concern is that internally displaced people (IDPs) have not been able to return to their homes yet. It is necessary to restore trust between the two communities for the safe return of people. How long will the security forces continue to protect the people, now the society itself will have to come forward. Kuki Council thanks him for accepting the invitation for talks. This is a positive initiative towards peace in difficult times.

message of forget and forgive
Appealing for peace from all parties, the Chief Minister asked them to move forward in the spirit of forget and forgive. He clarified that no demands or promises were made in this meeting, rather it is just the beginning of dialogue. On the demand for separate administration, the CM said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already talked about maintaining the territorial integrity of Manipur.

Kuki Council raised important issues
The Kuki-Jo Council said it raised several important issues at the meeting, including reducing tensions between the Kuki and Tangkhul communities and providing justice to victims of violence. The Council also called for maintaining the buffer zone and intensifying the ongoing negotiations to advance the peace process.

Maryland Terrapins women’s basketball coach Brenda Frese came face-to-face with guard Oluchi Okananwa in an intense coaching moment on Sunday.

The longtime head coach was unhappy with Okananwa’s sequence in the third quarter. She turned the ball over, missed three free throws and missed a layup before she was subbed off the floor. Frese met Okananwa on the sideline.

“I believe in you, but you got to want this moment,” Frese said.

Okananwa scored 21 points, leading the team. She grabbed six rebounds and notched two steals. However, she did end up with six turnovers.

She told reporters after the game that she loves the hard-nosed style of coaching.

“Coach understands I’m a competitor at heart,” she said, via The Athletic. “I’ve told her this before, and I’ll keep on telling her this forever. I love to be coached hard. That’s what she does with me every single day.”

Frese has been the head coach at Maryland since the 2002-03 season. She is 688-208 as head coach. She also had stops at Ball State and Minnesota.

“It’s always been a pulse that I’ve been able to have with individuals and players,” Frese said. “We do, at times, have to have those tough conversations. You can’t have them without a relationship. You’ve got to be able to have that. The best of the best, the elite of the elite, want to be coached hard.

“At that moment, I watched Oluchi struggle within this tournament. She’s just too gifted, so I wanted to implore how much belief I have in her and challenge her. I know what a winner and competitor she is. Just challenge her, do you want the moment? I knew to give it a minute, get her back in. And you saw she went out, she got a bucket, she got a steal, and never looked back.”

Slovenia’s Freedom Movement Party takes narrow election lead: Exit poll | Elections News

0

Governing liberals edge ahead of opposition conservatives in a race too close to call, according to exit poll.

Slovenia’s governing Freedom Movement (GS) is on track to win a parliamentary election but will need to find more coalition partners to form a government, according to an exit poll.

GS was set to secure 29.9 percent of the votes, or 30 seats in the country’s 90-seat parliament, in a dip from its previous result of 41 seats, according to the poll, published by TV Slovenia and Pop TV on Sunday.

list of 3 itemsend of list

The opposition Slovenian Democratic Party, led by populist Janez Jansa, is expected to come second and secure 27 seats in parliament, according to the Mediana polling agency.

As he voted, incumbent Prime Minister Robert Golob, 59, called on citizens to cast their ballots.

“Democracy and Slovenia’s sovereignty cannot be taken for granted any more,” he told reporters.

Jansa welcomed the exit poll results and said he would wait for the final result.

“If someone wants a government like the one we’ve had so far, then they are probably satisfied with what these parallel results indicate,” Jansa said.

“Whoever wants change will likely have to wait for the final results, just as we will, and then we will analyse the situation. But we have done everything that was within our power,” he said.

The opposition party leader has served as prime minister three times, most recently from 2020 to 2022.

Ahead of the vote, the election had been marred by controversy after a report last week alleged that Jansa met with officials from the Israeli spy firm Black Cube in December.

Golob told journalists after the report: “The fact that … foreign services are interfering in the elections of a democratic member state of the European Union is something unheard of.”

HMS Anson nuclear sub reportedly deployed to Arabian Sea amid Iran tensions

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A British nuclear-powered submarine has been deployed to the Arabian Sea amid rising tensions in the region and came ahead of Iran’s failed ballistic missile attempt targeting Diego Garcia, a key U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean, according to reports.

HMS Anson — a Royal Navy Astute-class submarine armed with Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles and Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes — traveled about 5,500 miles from HMAS Stirling, near Perth, Australia, to the region earlier in March.

The submarine is reportedly operating in the northern Arabian Sea, positioning Britain to respond quickly if the conflict escalates.

HMS Anson periodically surfaces to maintain communications with the U.K.’s Permanent Joint Headquarters in London, GB News reported.

The outlet reported that Anson is typically based at Faslane in Scotland, where an Iranian man has been charged with attempting to gain entry.

The deployment was said to have come shortly after the U.K. government authorized the United States to use British military bases for defensive operations targeting Iranian missile capabilities that have threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement, Downing Street said the aim of those operations was to “degrade the missile sites and capabilities” used in attacks on ships, while emphasizing that Britain does not want to be drawn into a wider regional conflict.

Tensions intensified Sunday after Iran launched two ballistic missiles toward Diego Garcia, according to multiple reports. Neither missile reached its target; one reportedly failed in flight, while the other was intercepted.

The attempted strike has raised concerns about Iran’s missile range, as Diego Garcia is roughly 2,485 miles from Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi had warned Britain against supporting U.S. or Israeli military action, saying such involvement could further escalate the conflict.

Araghchi told U.K. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper that Iran views Britain’s decision to allow U.S. forces to use its bases as “participation in aggression,” according to his account of the call, the BBC reported.

He also criticized what he described as the U.K.’s “negative and biased” approach and demanded that it cease cooperation with the United States.

The U.K. did not allow the U.S. to use its bases for initial offensive strikes against Iran but later granted permission for defensive operations in response to Iranian missile threats.

Downing Street said: “We didn’t participate in the initial strikes, and we’re not getting drawn into the wider war.”

Tehran has said it would exercise what it calls its right to self-defense if threatened.

Meanwhile, the U.K. Ministry of Defence said Sunday that Royal Air Force assets, including Typhoon jets, remain engaged in defensive operations in the region.

The ministry added that British forces have helped counter Iranian drone threats while coordinating closely with allies.

Chili’s is calling out Ruth’s Chris Steak House after the chain’s dress code sparked backlash online.

The exchange unfolded on X, where Chili’s responded to a post highlighting Ruth’s Chris Steak House’s “business casual” policy, which requires guests to wear what the company describes as “proper attire.”

The casual dining chain quickly jumped into the conversation with a blunt response.

Ruth’s Chris’ policy states that guests who do not meet the dress code may be asked to dine in the bar or lounge area, a move that has drawn criticism from some diners, Fox News Digital previously reported.

The guidelines also say hats should be removed upon entering, with those wearing ball caps directed to sit in the bar instead of the main dining room.

“The following attire is not permitted in our dining rooms: Gym wear, pool attire, tank tops, clothing with offensive graphics or language, revealing clothing or exposed undergarments,” the notice added.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic were involved in a heated clash on Saturday night, which ended in Luke Kennard hitting a game-winning shot to give L.A. a 105-104 win.

In the midst of the contest, Lakers star Luka Doncic picked up his 16th technical foul of the season when he got into it with Magic center Goga Bitadze. Doncic was chirping at Bitadze as the two were running down the floor in the third quarter.

Doncic shed some light on the incident.

“I’m definitely hoping [it is rescinded],” he told reporters after the game, via ESPN. “Obviously, I let my team down getting that last tech. But honestly, I wasn’t trying to. [Bitadze] said at the free throw, he would f— my whole family. And at some point, this is a basketball court. At some point, I just can’t stand it. I got to stand up for myself. But I know I got to do better.

“My teammates, I know they have my back, so I let them down today. But hopefully, it gets rescinded.”

Bitadze told ESPN and the Orlando Sentinel that Doncic cursed at him in Serbian and he just repeated the same words at him. He explained that Doncic said something about his mother and he repeated the same thing back to him.

“I have all the respect for Luka and what he has done,” Bitadze said. “And I really respect everybody’s family. Where I come from, it’s really sacred and we really respect each other’s families, and I would never directly say that. He just said some inappropriate things in the Serbian language, which, I played in Serbia, I understand.

“I don’t know if he knew I understood what he said. So, I just said it back. And it was nothing towards his family or anybody. His family, I really, truly respect them.”

If Doncic doesn’t win his appeal, he will be forced to sit out one game as discipline for hitting the 16-technical-foul threshold.
