'It's long past time': Colombian-born GOP senator rallies around making English official language of US
FIRST ON FOX: Freshman GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno is introducing a bill that would declare English as the official language of the United States. The bill, named the English Language Unity Act of 2025, would "declare English as the official language of the United States" and "establish a uniform English language rule for naturalization, and to avoid misconstructions of the English language texts of the laws of the United States." Variations of the bill have been put forward in the past, including in 2023 from then Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who said at the time that English "has been a cornerstone of American culture for over 250 years" and that it "is far past time for Congress to codify its place into law, which is exactly what this bill does." In a statement to Fox News Digital, Moreno, who was born in Colombia, said, "JD Vance was right – English is the official language of the United States and, as one of the only naturalized citizens serving in the Senate, I should know." Bernie Moreno has introduced a bill to make English the official language of the United States.

GOP candidate blasts AP 'hit piece' as 'debunked' after adult website founder calls alleged profile a 'prank'
Bernie Moreno, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio, discusses the GOP's eagerness to retake the Senate in November, the illegal immigration crisis and Nikki Haley's refusal to drop out of the primary race. Republican Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno is blasting the Associated Press after a story published days before the primary election linking him to an adult online dating site, which a former intern has taken credit for creating, was called into question by the dating site's founder. On Friday, a post on X from one of the founders of the online site Adult Friend Finder, who says he wrote "most of the early code," seemingly rejected a key aspect of an Associated Press report days earlier that suggested "geolocation data," which is commonly understood as involving an IP address or GPS, linked the account to the area of a Moreno family home. "I reviewed all the available information and it showed that the account had only a single visit, no activity, no profile photo, consistent with a prank or someone just checking out the site," Andrew Conru, the engineer who founded Adult Friend Finder, wrote on social media. "The AP report seeming to claim that the available data proves the account was created in Florida is inaccurate, as location information is manually entered during the signup (sic) process. In reality, there appears to be no public geolocation data tied to the account."

Ohio Republican Senate candidates clash over border security, drone strikes in Mexico
Ohio Republican candidates who are vying to take on Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown clashed over border security and drone strikes in Mexico during Monday's first statewide debate. Facing off at WJW Fox 8 Studios in Cleveland, businessman Bernie Moreno, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan generally agreed on a few issues, including calling for fully securing the U.S.-Mexico border, but then quickly clashed upon delving into the immigration crisis further. Dolan accused Moreno, who was endorsed by former President Trump, of wanting "to militarize the federal government and deport children" for his stance calling for deporting anybody in the country illegally. LaRose called earlier Monday for President Biden to deploy three military divisions to the border, which Dolan said was irresponsible. "We need to work with the Mexican government, we need to be tough with the Mexican government," Dolan said.

Unbridled AI tech risks spread of disinformation, requiring policy makers step in with rules: experts
Fox News contributor Douglas Murray joined'Fox & Friends' to discuss why Musk and other experts are calling for a halt to artificial intelligence systems for six months. Scores of technology experts and college professors across different academic backgrounds signed onto an open letter calling for a six-month pause on developing rapidly-evolving AI technology, which they say threatens humanity and society. At the heart of the argument for the pause is to give policymakers space to develop safeguards that would allow for researchers to keep developing the technology, but not at the reported threat of upending the lives of people across the world with disinformation. "The federal government needs to play a central role using legislation and regulations to require the companies to impose much stricter safety measures and guardrails. However, legislation and regulations take time, moving at bureaucratic speed, while generative AI is evolving at exponential speed," Geoffrey Odlum, a retired 28-year diplomat who currently serves as president of Odlum Global Strategies, which advises the government and corporations on national security and tech policy issues, told Fox News Digital.

In liberal Washington, dating options leave conservatives with much to desire
WASHINGTON – Dante Bucci is a 22-year-old marketing student who lives in one of Washington's most hip neighborhoods. The New Jersey native is clean cut, well dressed and well spoken. But as a Republican in one of the most liberal cities in America, his political views are kryptonite in the U.S. capital's dating world -- where he frequently finds himself attracted to Democrats. Not a lot of second dates," Bucci says of his love life these days. "I think Donald Trump has a lot to do with that." In the 2016 presidential election, Trump earned … 4 percent of the vote in the District of Columbia. It's not exactly great math for a young, single conservative man who backed the real estate mogul. And with the key midterm vote having stoked political tensions, Republicans like Bucci have found that romance is all but dead. "They want to date someone that they can agree with on some issues," laments Bucci, who supports abortion rights and gay marriage and calls himself a moderate Republican. "'I'm a Republican but …' -- I've started so many sentences that way." "Make America Date Again," of course. "I felt a real need for this app," said Emily Moreno, a 25-year-old Republican who founded the site after speaking to many of her friends. Moreno said that many people in Washington say if they mention working for Trump or Republican causes to potential love matches, "the date is shut down -- it's a deal-breaker." Four days after launching the site in mid-October, Moreno said the app had been downloaded 20,000 times. One senior adviser for a Republican member of Congress tried the app because he has found dating as a gay Trump supporter a particular challenge. "The gay guys in DC are really close-minded," said the 31-year-old who wished to remain anonymous, calling himself "a minority within a minority within the minority." He noted that the dislike goes both ways. "If someone was super into Hillary Clinton, I would be turned off by that," he explained. On other widely used dating apps like Tinder or Bumble, Bucci said he found nothing but land mines. According to a sample of several dozen Tinder profiles, many women urged Republicans guys to swipe left -- meaning to pass them by. Kendall, 23, is one of those women. "Allergic to bees and Republicans" reads the bio on her Tinder profile. They voted for a person who openly bragged about sexually assaulting women so no," she said when asked why she was ruling out the men of the GOP.

Dating app for Trump supporters leaves users' data open to hackers on first day in business
A dating app set up to help supporters of President Donald Trump find each other in America's confusing dating landscape hit a snag on its first day in operation when a computer security specialist was able to download every piece of data on its servers. That included the first 1,600 users' photos and personal messages between people chatting online. Instead of disrupting the world of'DonaldDaters,' however, French security researcher Baptiste Robert blew the whistle publicly on Monday just hours after the product went live. 'You should not use this app,' he tweeted in a message to Trump fans. 'In 5 minutes, I managed to get: - the list of all the people registered - name - Photo - personal messages - token to steal their session.'
Radio Progreso: Honduran journalists under threat
In the Central American country of Honduras, a political story has been unfolding which deserves more coverage than it has been getting. Close to 40 people have been killed and more than 2,000 arrested, following the contested re-election of President Juan Orlando Hernandez to a second term in office. With 54 percent of the votes counted, the trend was a clear win for left-wing opposition candidate, Salvador Nasralla. But then the computer system mysteriously broke down. When it finally came back online a full day later, the vote count had been turned upside down: the right-wing incumbent, Juan Orlando Hernandez, was suddenly ahead.

Drone Pilot Arrested For Dropping Anti-Media Propaganda At NFL Games
A man who flew a drone and dropped anti-media propaganda flyers into the stands of two NFL games was arrested Sunday for flying a drone within five miles of an airport. The man, who was not identified by police, sent his drone over Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara and the Coliseum in Oakland. The man dropped the flyers over Levi's Stadium first during the second quarter of a game between the San Francisco 49er and the Seattle Seahawks. He then headed 30 miles north and dropped pamphlets over a game between the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos, according to police. Both stadiums fall within five miles of an airport, a no-fly zone for drones.

Despite an accident, hundreds still willing to gamble on riding driverless shuttle in Las Vegas
The small, blue shuttle drove defensively. Piloted entirely by computer, it followed the rules of the road like a student driver trying to impress an instructor. It approached the traffic signal, where it was set to turn right. On the corner, a pedestrian attempted to wave it on through before realizing there was no driver to heed his directive. The stalemate -- politeness verses programming -- only was broken when the light turned green and the shuttle could lawfully proceed.

Despite a Las Vegas Crash, Self-Driving Shuttle Buses Could Be the Future
In America, the age of autonomous shuttles began with a crunch. On Wednesday, the multinational transportation company Keolis, French manufacturer Navya, and AAA launched the small driverless vehicle in Las Vegas. The electric vehicle had an attendant on board, to keep the peace, and carried eight people in a half-mile loop around the Fremont Street Entertainment District. According to representatives from Keolis and AAA, as well as a first-person account published in Digital Trends, the shuttle encountered a semi-truck backing out of an alleyway and stopped. It couldn't back up, because there was a vehicle directly behind it.
