I recently reached out to the local sheriff's office and did something I hadn't previously expected would ever be on my radar: I asked that, if they ever receive a call regarding my residence that requires an emergency response, they keep in mind the high likelihood that it's a hoax. I was assured that the word would be passed to the local commander and deputies. There was no surprise on their part at what would have been a weird request just a few years ago, for good reason.

Hannah Dugan, the Milwaukee County judge arrested Friday by the FBI for allegedly obstructing federal authorities who were seeking to detain an undocumented immigrant, was a longtime social justice advocate before she took the bench.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security suggested in a statement that Dugan is an “activist judge.” A statement issued on the judge’s behalf following her dramatic arrest said Dugan “has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge...

Already facing criticism over his ties to President Donald Trump, Wayne Gretzky was once again seen alongside FBI director Kash Patel as Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin scored another historic goal on Sunday on Long Island.

This time it was Ovechkin's 895 career score, which broke Gretzky's all-time mark on Sunday afternoon against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena.

This story isn’t over. Heads should roll over this elaborate plot to muzzle the Hunter Biden laptop story, which the FBI knew was authentic from day one. Michael Shellenberger, Alex Gutentag, and Catherine Herridge wrote in Public about the now-released, though heavily redacted chats, the bureau had among top officials and the agent who acted like the liaison between the FBI and Silicon Valley. The bureau had an extensive team working with social media companies to suppress certain opinions and stories while trying to influence public opinion. That operation has blessedly been obliterated.

The FBI silenced an employee who tried to tell Twitter the Hunter Biden laptop story was real on the day it came out, newly released chat logs show.

On October 14, 2020, the day the New York Post first reported on Hunter Biden’s laptop, the FBI told employees “do not discuss [the] Biden matter” and imposed a “gag order” on an analyst who tried to confirm the story’s veracity to Twitter during a meeting, according to chat logs released by the House Judiciary Committee.

Kash Patel has spent his first month as FBI director cracking down on some of the Trump administration's top law enforcement priorities, including violent crime, gang activity and drug trafficking – all while managing to avoid much of the high-profile controversy that has embroiled some other senior national security officials.

The raft of recent FBI warnings hitting smartphone and computer users should not be a surprise. The threat landscape is rapidly worsening, whether from Chinese hackers penetrating U.S. networks or unpaid toll scams spiraling out of control. And much more dangerous AI-fueled attacks will soon turn all this up to eleven.

The FBI has created a task force dedicated to investigating Tesla attacks, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed on X on Monday.

Why it matters: It's the latest step by the Trump administration to use the full weight of the government to both promote and defend Elon Musk's car company.

What they're saying: "This is domestic terrorism," Patel said. "Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice."

The task force will operate in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The FBI on Monday launched a task force to crack down on violent Tesla attacks, Fox News Digital has learned. 

The FBI’s task force was created in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and will coordinate investigative activity.

Fox News Digital has learned that there have been various instances in recent weeks of vandalism, arson and targeted shootings against Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations across the nation. 

The FBI said on Monday that it has launched a task force to investigate scores of attacks in recent weeks targeting Tesla, the electric vehicle company headed by Trump administration DOGE chief Elon Musk.

The announcement of the task force, which is operating in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, came hours after a bomb squad found multiple incendiary devices at a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, the same city where the company has its headquarters.
