Geopolitical analyst Steve Okun says despite the summit in Beijing, the US and China are still in an adversarial relationship. He says China is benefiting from the war on Iran, using the crisis to expand its influence while the US faces rising costs and an ongoing trade war with China.

House Democrats failed again Thursday to fracture Republicans’ support for President Donald Trump’s Iran strategy as GOP lawmakers overwhelmingly rejected an effort to curb his war powers.
The House of Representatives deadlocked in a 212-212 vote, blocking a resolution offered by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., that would have forced Trump to end hostilities against Iran absent congressional authorization.
Every Democratic lawmaker except for Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, voted for the measure. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., a leading Trump foe, and Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Tom Barrett, R-Mich., were the lone Republicans to cross party lines in support of the resolution.
Several lawmakers in both parties did not vote.

WHERE AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKE STANDS AS NEW POLLS ROLL IN
The failed vote comes after peace talks between Washington and Tehran stalled in recent weeks, though the ceasefire has largely stayed intact despite sporadic fighting.
Trump said Monday the ceasefire was “on life support” and reiterated his demand that Iran end its nuclear program.
Amid the stalemate, congressional Democrats have linked the war to voter concern about affordability in an effort to pressure GOP lawmakers to buck the president.
“The single fastest way to bring down costs is to end this war,” House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., said on the House floor Wednesday. “And once again, Republicans are going to have an opportunity to do just that. Once again, they have a chance to bring our service members home and end this chaos.”
But Republicans have argued that limiting Trump’s war powers could undermine his ability to end the conflict.
“By putting an arbitrary limitation on America’s ability to deploy both kinetic as well as diplomatic pressure on Iran, I think it ends up harming our ability to negotiate, to get Iran to stand down,” Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, a colonel in the Air Force Reserve, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
“What I’ve seen from the president is a clear desire to stop Iran’s ability from having a nuclear weapon and in their ability to be the number one sponsor of state terrorism,” he added.

TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKES GET LEGAL COVER AS SCHOLARS SAY ARTICLE II PLAYBOOK SPANS OBAMA ERA AND BEYOND
The vast majority of Republicans have continued to stand by Trump’s Iran strategy despite the administration cruising past a 60-day deadline to seek congressional approval of the conflict.
The president has argued the indefinite ceasefire that began April 7 effectively stopped the clock. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also contended that the 1973 War Powers Resolution giving Congress a say over the use of military force is unconstitutional.
Across the Capitol, GOP support for the war in Iran appears to be on shakier ground.
The Senate narrowly defeated a war powers resolution on Wednesday, the seventh attempt from Democrats since Operation Epic Fury began Feb. 28, that would have ended hostilities with Iran.
Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, crossed party lines to support the measure curbing Trump’s war powers while Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., joined Republicans in opposition. Just one more GOP yes vote would have allowed the resolution to clear the chamber.
Murkowski, who flipped her vote to support the war powers resolution, said Wednesday that the administration’s timeline in Iran “has taken us beyond the 60 days” deadline for Congress to authorize or halt the conflict.
She had hoped the administration would provide more clarity, but that information hadn’t come, prompting her to join with Democrats in curbing Trump’s war powers.

“We’re in a different place than we were last time we voted on this,” Murkowski said.
A Fox News poll published in late April found that 55% of Americans oppose military action against Iran. Nearly six in ten respondents said the war will not improve the safety of Americans enough to justify military action.

The former mayor of a small Kansas town who pleaded guilty last month in connection with illegally voting in several elections turned himself in to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Wednesday.
Jose Ceballos-Armendariz, a Mexican green card holder, appeared at the ICE office in Wichita, FOX4KC reported. He is being held in the ICE’s detention facility in Chase County.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Ceballos said outside the facility. “I don’t know where they’re going to take me and what I can and can’t do inside there.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Ceballos’ attorney for comment.
Ceballos, who formerly served as mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, for two terms, pleaded guilty in April to three counts of disorderly election conduct following a prosecution by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach’s office.
He was issued a green card in 1990 and applied for U.S. citizenship in February. Ceballos also has a prior conviction for battery from 1995.

On his citizenship application, Ceballos allegedly falsely claimed that he had never previously claimed to be a U.S. citizen.
He stated he thought his status as a green card holder with legal permanent residency gave him the right to vote in U.S. elections, FOXKC reported. Ceballos said he felt “misled” because he believed his situation would be resolved following his plea deal.
“Obviously, we’ll go through the process,” Ceballos said. “We’ll do what they want us to do and, you know, take one day at a time. Just do what they ask; that is my goal.”
In a statement to Fox News Digital, DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis advocated for the SAVE America Act, the federal legislation designed to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
“The SAVE program is a critical tool for state and local governments to safeguard the integrity of elections across the country,” she said. “President Trump has been unequivocal: Nothing is more fundamental than the integrity and security of our elections. That’s why the Trump Administration has repeatedly called on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act — commonsense legislation that requires voters to present photo ID and implements other critical measures to protect federal elections from fraud. Our elections belong to American citizens, not foreign citizens.”
Since April 2025, more than 24,000 cases have been identified by SAVE as potential non-U.S. citizens who were on voter rolls, DHS said. Those cases have been referred to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for further investigation.

Ceballos’ attorney, Jess Hoeme, told the news outlet that his client was brought to the United States from Mexico when he was 4 years old. He added that Ceballos was encouraged to register to vote at age 18 on the spot during a school field trip to the Comanche County courthouse.
“I thought our system was smarter and better than this,” Hoeme said. “I thought there was a degree of humanity and dignity included in the process. That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.”

Bryson DeChambeau is one of the most popular golfers in the world. Not only is he an all-world talent and a two-time major champion, but he has embraced YouTube golf as a way to share the sport with a younger audience.
However, something appears to be very wrong with his game (or his body) right now. He missed the cut at Augusta National last month, a shocking development for a player who was one of the favorites to win the Masters. And, if things don’t change in a hurry, he could be headed for back-to-back missed cuts in majors for the first time since 2017.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
DeChambeau struggled his way through a poor opening round at the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club on Thursday morning, posting a 6-over 76. He didn’t record a birdie until his final hole, the par-5 9th (he started the day on hole 10). DeChambeau carded five bogeys and a double bogey on the par-3 8th hole.

Through the completion of the morning wave, DeChambeau’s score sat outside the top 100 on the leader board. The PGA Championship is unique because it includes 20 PGA of America Golf Professionals, often called club professionals, who qualify through the PGA Professional Championship.
Unlike full-time tour players, most of them make their living primarily by teaching, running golf operations, and working at facilities, not by chasing tournament purses week to week. A few of those PGA professionals posted better scores than DeChambeau, which underscores just how rough his opening round was.
PGA Tour fans haven’t seen much of DeChambeau since he left for LIV Golf, and they might not see as much of him going forward. DeChambeau has said that he is willing to forgo rejoining the PGA Tour if LIV Golf dissolves to focus on his YouTube channel.

That likely means a large swath of golf fans only see him play competitively four times per year, during the majors. Previously, that meant watching him compete for championships. Across the eight majors in 2024 and 2025, DeChambeau finished inside the top 10 six times, including a dramatic win over Rory McIlroy at the 2024 U.S. Open. He also finished as runner-up at both the 2024 and 2025 PGA Championships.

Given his recent history and form, many fans expected DeChambeau to find himself near the top of the leader board at Aronimink this weekend. And some were not kind to him on social media following the terrible first round.
There is still a lot of golf to play and DeChambeau is certainly capable of going out on Friday and shooting a spectacular round to give himself a chance to make the cut. But he’s going to need exactly that, a massive Friday turnaround, or he’s going to be heading home prior to the weekend for the second consecutive major tournament.

And, given that he also missed the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open, it would also be DeChambeau’s third missed cut in the past four majors if he fails to reach the weekend at Aronimink. That’s not the level of golf expected of a player of his caliber. It’ll be interesting to see how he responds on Friday and moves forward to the final two majors of 2026.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said his “heart breaks” for Erika Kirk after she had to live through the White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassination attempt not even a year following her husband’s murder.
The Pennsylvania Democrat described their exchange as a “very personal human interaction” amid the chaos of the shooting as he recalled to Fox News Digital a conversation he had with the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
“How triggering that must have been for her,” Fetterman said.
“I expressed how sorry I am,” he detailed of the moment. “She was frantic, understandably, after her husband was assassinated.”

Fetterman expressed his frustration over online attacks targeting Kirk following the shooting after a video went viral that showed her leaving the hotel in tears and pleading: “I just want to go home.”
“It blows,” he said. “People attack a widow. I mean what’s wrong with people? That’s bonkers.”
Kirk’s husband was assassinated in September during one of his famous college outreach events on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Fetterman has often been lauded as the lone Democrat willing to go across party lines to vote with and side with Republicans on a handful of issues — this includes his support for Israel.

Beyond the emotional aftermath of the shooting, Fetterman also weighed in on escalating tensions with Iran, signaling his support for prioritizing U.S. foreign policy and defense to restrain nuclear threats.
When asked about President Donald Trump’s proposed gas tax relief, Fetterman pivoted to emphasizing the need to continue applying pressure on Iran to disarm and abandon its nuclear ambitions.
“I think it’s important to stand and demand Iran to surrender its nuclear material,” he said. “I mean, my views haven’t changed.”
Fetterman has previously called out members in his party for criticizing Trump’s efforts to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, citing their opposition may give Iran hope Trump will succumb to political pressure to pull back. He was the only Democrat on Wednesday to vote against a Senate war powers resolution aiming to limit American involvement in the conflict with Iran — for the seventh time.
He also suggested China should take a more assertive role in pressuring Iran and share in the economic consequences.
“I think China should feel that pain,” Fetterman said. “I think that’s entirely appropriate. Why can’t China demand that?”
“Why not? Unless they want to create Iran as a nuclear power, and that would be incredibly dangerous for the whole world peace.”

As tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program continue, China has been scrutinized by U.S. officials over its economic ties to Iran, including allegations that Chinese entities have helped Tehran evade sanctions and supported its military infrastructure.

Fetterman also indicated his support for Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal year 2027 — the largest request ever made by an administration.
“I’m very open to this,” he said. “The idea that we are the arsenal of the free world.”
“It’s really important to make sure that we have whatever’s necessary to defend democracy in the global stage.”
Advanced artificial intelligence models will “fundamentally change warfare as we know it,” a top cyber official at the Defense Department said Thursday, saying it represents “not evolutionary warfare, but revolutionary warfare.”
Paul Lyons, principal deputy assistant secretary for cyber policy, said the development of frontier AI models like Mythos amounted to a “watershed moment,” speaking at Rubrik’s Federal Cyber Resilience Breakfast produced by FedScoop.
Such models will “change both offense and defensive posture within the Department of War to something that’s close to you for critical infrastructure,” he said. “This is the ability to hunt and speed across the domain and outside the fence line in critical dependencies with water, power, compute.”
The advent of the technology is forcing the department to address difficult questions, but it’s a great opportunity as well for the United States given that it’s being developed by American companies, Lyons said. It’s something his department is optimistic about, he said.
“To be blunt, we’re trying to figure out, what authorities do we need? How do you leverage that within both decisionmaking and employment?” he said. “We have the right people looking at the speed, scale and complexity of cyber and how it’s going to be affected through the advent of AI.”
The Pentagon labeled Mythos a “supply chain risk” after its creator, Anthropic, resisted commands from the department to use its Claude model in ways the firm opposed. The department has nonetheless been using Mythos to hunt for cyber vulnerabilities.
Lyons said that cyber warfare overall has become more mature, as recent conflicts have shown.
“We saw it in spades in Venezuela, where you can layer cyber to create conditions that are favorable to the warfighter, that lower risk to mission, lower risk to force that where paired with both no kinetic and kinetic effects, can increase lethality,” he said. “We see it in Iran today.”
President Donald Trump’s cyber strategy places an emphasis on taking the battle to the malicious hackers, something Lyons said was a vital approach.
“America’s posture in cyber defense has been largely a defensive posture,” he said. “That’s a losing strategy for America. America has to dominate the full spectrum of cyber operations.”
