Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that “not enough attention” is being focused on the hostages still being held by Hamas.During an interview on Fox Business, host Larry Kudlow noted the Israeli government might engage in a complete military takeover of Gaza and pressed Rubio on whether he has spoken to the prime minister — and whether he thinks Israel is making a wise decision.“Well, ultimately the president has said that it’s up to Israel to decide what they need to do for their own security. I’ve spoken often — almost daily — to somebody in the Israeli government, often to the prime minister but many times to many members of his team,” the top diplomat said.Rubio then explained how there are three “interrelated” problems when it comes to the situation in Gaza.“The first is there is a humanitarian problem that needs to be addressed. We’re working very hard to figure out ways to address it in ways that doesn’t benefit Hamas but that allows

President Donald Trump’s takeover of police in Washington, D.C., to fight crime in the nation’s capital may extend beyond a month if Congress passes a measure unveiled this week by a House Republican.The “Capital Emergency Control Act of 2025,” which Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) revealed on Wednesday, would do away with the 30-day limit that is written in Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.“President Trump has rightly declared a national emergency in Washington, D.C. — a city its own government has surrendered to chaos. Under current law, the President can only federalize D.C. for thirty days,” Ogles said in a post on X. “I’m introducing a resolution to amend the D.C. Home Rule Act so the President can extend this emergency as long as it takes, until our Capitol is taken back and its streets are safe. Congress must defend the President, and our Country.”On Monday, Trump invoked Section 740, which allowed him to direct the D.C. mayor to deliver h
