A court appearance. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. The suspect in the planting of multiple pipe bombs in Washington, D.C. reveals what could be the reasoning behind the planned attack.

[Chanley Painter]

The man accused of planting pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic national party headquarters in 2021 told investigators he was disappointed in the 2020 election results. Brian Cole Jr. Confessed to planting the bombs on the eve of the Jan. 6 U.S. capitol. R. Cole Jr. Was arrested Thursday in Virginia, remains in jail.

[Chanley Painter]

A key part of the president's affordability messaging tour is basically reminding people of how bad things were under Biden, from rising inflation to shrinking purchasing power. And he will have to turn some attitudes around because the latest Fox poll show 76% of people view the economy negatively. That is 6 points higher than when Biden left office and the Democrats are pouncing on those numbers, Axios writes. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told top lawmakers this week to adopt a laser focus on the affordability crisis, his chosen attack plan for the 2026 midterms.

[Paul Stevens]

Again, Fox's Jackie Heinrich @ the White House. The president saying though this week that the affordability crisis Democrats are highlighting is a hoax. Meantime, the US Suprem says that we'll hear an expedited appeal of President Trump's case, looking to end birthright citizenship by executive order. The court did not explain its decision. It will likely be set for oral arguments next spring, decided by the end of June. This is the second time Mr. Trump's order will come before the court. But this time justices are expected to review it on the merits. America's listening to Fox.

Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection spread through contact with bodily fluids, even those on household items.
