A Los Angeles mother of three says she’s lucky to be alive after an uncommon procedure left her cancer-free.Amy Piccioli, a busy CPA, was just 39 when she visited the ER last year for what she thought was dehydration due to a stomach bug.Instead, a CT scan revealed a mass in her colon and multiple lesions in her liver, which led to a colorectal cancer diagnosis — despite having “zero signs.”WOMAN’S ALARMING CANCER SYMPTOMS BLAMED ON PREGNANCY FOR YEARS BEFORE STAGE 3 DIAGNOSIS”I had no symptoms,” Piccioli told Fox News Digital. “I’m one of those people who’s very diligent about my health and very cognizant about changes in my body. So for this to have happened without any signs or symptoms was just shocking to me.”Because the cancer had already spread, it was automatically a stage 4 diagnosis.”I just went numb — I couldn’t believe it,” Piccioli said. “Immediately, you have those feelings of panic and fear.”In June 2024, Piccioli began undergoing chemotherapy, along with an immunotherapy drug. Just three months later, scans showed that the chemo had shrunk the tumors. Next, she underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her colon. After completing the traditional courses of treatment, Piccioli found herself embarking on a path to liver transplantation.”The cancer was all over my liver,” she shared. “In cases where the cancer is confined to one side of the liver, they can basically cut that portion out … but in my case, a resection was not a possibility because the cancer was everywhere.” RED FLAGS FOR COLORECTAL CANCER THAT WARRANT SCREENINGS BEFORE 45 YEARS OF AGEAlthough the chemotherapy was successful, she said, “it was always going to be a ‘whack-a-mole’ situation, where I would be on systemic chemo for an extended period of time, new stuff would pop up, and it would just be this cycle over and over and again.””The chances of eradicating the cancer entirely from my liver with chemo alone was very slim. In cases like mine, liver transplantation is really the only long-term solution.”Liver transplantation as part of a colorectal cancer treatment is more prevalent in Europe, but not common in the U.S.JAMES VAN DER BEEK’S DEATH HIGHLIGHTS ALARMING COLON CANCER RISE IN YOUNGER ADULTS”We just didn’t think it would be an option here,” Piccioli said. “It seemed like something that was going to require a lot of effort to get.”Her California care team soon discovered, however, that Northwestern Medicine in Chicago offers a liver transplantation program specifically for metastatic colorectal cancer patients.”When liver metastasis is noted, our medical oncologists, along with our transplant surgeons begin to make care pathways tailored to the patient,” Satish Nadig, MD, PhD, transplant surgeon and director of the Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive Transplant Center, told Fox News Digital.The chances of a successful transplant depend largely on how the patient responds to treatment, according to doctors. In “carefully selected” patients, the five-year survival rate can be 60% to 80%.CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES”Response to chemotherapy is a critical gatekeeper for liver transplantation in colorectal liver metastases,” Nadig said.”Demonstrated disease control or response is usually required, as it identifies patients whose tumor biology (less aggressive and not spreading quickly) is favorable enough to justify a transplant.”IMAGEPiccioli, who was in search of a living donor, shared the need with family and friends. A lifetime childhood friend, Lauren Prior, underwent screening and was deemed a match.The transplant was performed in December 2025, making Piccioli the first person at Northwestern to receive a living donor transplantation for metastatic colon cancer.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERToday, she and the donor are recovering well.”The first week or two were difficult, but by week four, I was up and around, getting back to doing normal life things,” she said. “About two months out, I started working out again. I’m now three months out and feel completely normal. It’s amazing what the body can do.”Piccioli recently had her first post-transplant blood screening for tumor molecules within the body, and none were detected. “So I have no evidence of disease currently,” she shared. She will remain in Chicago for ongoing monitoring and screening until the end of March, when she will return home to Los Angeles.Early-onset colorectal cancer is often “silent,” according to Nadig.”That’s because screening is absent before age 45 and symptoms (such as slow bleeding) are usually subtle,” he cautioned. Tumors can also grow in hard-to-detect locations, like the right side of the colon, or with biology that “delays obvious warning signs.”TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZAlthough Piccioli experienced no warning signs, she encourages others to pay attention to any changes in the body that may signal cancer.”Do the screenings at the recommended ages, follow up and just be diligent about your health,” she advised. “I think a lot of the reason that I got to Northwestern and was able to receive this transplant was because I was so diligent about calling the doctors, scheduling the appointments … I think that is really the most important thing: You have to be the captain of your own ship.”
Carville predicts Trump will leave office next year out of frustration after midterms
Veteran Democratic Party strategist James Carville predicted in a video published Monday that President Donald Trump will resign by this time next year after the midterm elections.Carville, known for bombastic rhetoric and wild predictions, released a video this week titled, “Trump Will Be Gone, Sooner Than You Think!””Everything that he tries blows up in his face. And he I’m telling you, I think he’s just going to quit next year by this time,” he said. “I think he’s just going to f—ing walk away because the Democrats control the House and the Senate.”He continued, suggesting that “No one’s going to pay attention to him. The fiscal condition of the country is in the – beyond in the ditch. The Iran thing has turned into just a catastrophe of the first order.”JAMES CARVILLE TELLS STEPHEN A SMITH DEMOCRATS ‘DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TALK TO YOUNG MEN’The White House called Carville a “stone-cold loser” and that he suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome. “James Carville is a stone-cold loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” the White House said. The President was elected with a resounding mandate to reverse disastrous Biden-era policies and unleash a new era of prosperity for our country – and it’s clear that he has delivered for Americans with a secure border, cooling inflation, working-class tax cuts, new trade deals, new drug pricing deals, trillions in investments, and peace through strength policies that eliminate national security threats to our Nation. Only deranged Democrats like James Carville could oppose all these wins for the American people.”Carville has made bombastic predictions before, such as believing before the election that Trump, having returned to the White House, would jail journalists and commentators like himself.CARVILLE DOUBLES DOWN AFTER GETTING CALLED OUT FOR PREDICTING TRUMP ADMIN COLLAPSE, SAYS IT’S HAPPENING ‘NOW'”When the paddy wagon comes, you and I are going to be in the back of it, bouncing around, and it’s not going to be very much fun, and they will tell you, the judge said, ‘I’m sorry, Mr. Carville, Trump said he was going to get rid of the Constitution, I have no choice but to enforce the democratic norms of this country,'” he said in October 2024.Carville said in November that he would bet money a Democrat will inevitably win the 2028 presidential election and proceed to expand the Supreme Court, with the support of a Democratic House and Senate.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURECLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

87% Left-Leaning: Yahoo News Favors Left, Props Up Radical Sites in February
Yahoo News is the most fanatical of the Big Four News Apps, more extreme than its counterparts Apple News, Google News and Microsoft’s MSN.
Not only did Yahoo News more heavily favor left-leaning outlets than the others, it also more aggressively promoted articles from some of the most radical media outlets in America. As the fourth most-widely viewed news site in America, its bias and reach have an enormous impact on American politics and culture.
The Media Research Center tracked Yahoo News’s top 20 daily stories each morning during the month of February (totaling 560 stories) and found that the digital news gatekeeper propped up even more articles from left-leaning outlets (346) than the news sites operated by Apple, Google and Microsoft, while consistently suppressing right-leaning outlets. It also heavily leaned on radical leftist media outlets such as Salon (51) and The New Republic (16).
MRC’s Findings:
Yahoo News is the most radical of the Big Four News Apps, promoting left-leaning outlets 87% of the time in its February morning editions. Yahoo News’s promotion of leftist outlets eclipsed the other Big Four News Apps during the month, which includes Apple News (75%), Google News (65%) and Microsoft’s MSN (54%).
Yahoo News relied on radical leftist media outlets like Salon (51 articles), The New Republic (16 articles), Al Jazeera (1) and HuffPost (1).
Yahoo News has consistently promoted the most radical leftist media outlets since MRC began tracking the morning editions of the Big Four News Apps on November 1, 2025: Salon (149), The New Republic (97), The Daily Beast (5), Rolling Stone (4) and Al Jazeera (2).
Yahoo has massive reach. When combining its news (73.9M) and finance (135.6M) sites, the digital news gatekeeper amassed 209.5 million site visits in January 2026, according to Press Gazette.
“Don’t overlook Yahoo’s ability to impact the narrative—and always from the left,” warned MRC President David Bozell. “Far from forgotten, Yahoo is the leftist boogeyman hiding in plain sight, and its massive reach and reliance on some of the worst of the worst leftist media outlets underscores its bias problem. Yahoo, like its Big Four News App counterparts, is harming Americans with its blatant agenda by providing an imbalance of coverage that overwhelmingly favors the left.”
Yahoo News Is the Most Radical of the Big Four News Apps
Yahoo News ran a total of 397 AllSides-rated top stories in the month of February. Of these, 346 (87%) were from left-leaning outlets, a significantly higher percentage of left-leaning stories than Apple News (75%), Google News (64.5%) and Microsoft’s MSN (55%).
While Apple News and Google News are notorious for sidelining right-leaning outlets, Yahoo News produced even more leftist stories as a percentage of total articles from AllSides-rated outlets than these competitors by more aggressively squeezing out “center” outlets.
Not only did Yahoo News highlight more left-leaning stories in its top morning headlines for the month of February, it also relied heavily on some of the most radical leftist outlets. This included outlets such as Salon, The New Republic, Al Jazeera and HuffPost.
Among the left-leaning article headlines, Yahoo News pushed the following:
“Abolish ICE? Absolutely — and DHS too,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 28.
“A wake-up call for white Americans,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 1.
“How to Dismantle a Concentration Camp: Trump’s drive to build a network of detention centers is being met with some robust public resistance[,]” by The New Republic, promoted Feb. 28.
“Minneapolis showed how to fight ICE and win,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 13.
“Donald Trump is still weird,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 7.
“Trump’s Fury at Canada Backfires in Surprise Blow to GOP’s 2026 Hopes,” by The New Republic, promoted Feb. 28.
In February 2026, Yahoo News’s top stories only included articles from AllSides-rated “center” outlets six percent of the time, a paltry figure when compared to the other three digital news gatekeepers. Microsoft’s MSN featured stories from center outlets about 34% of the time, with Google News right behind at approximately 33%. Meanwhile, Apple News — which ran only 2% articles from right-leaning outlets in February — could have easily taken the top spot for left-leaning articles, but instead chose articles from center outlets about 23% of the time, nearly four times more frequently than Yahoo News.
Yahoo News Has Consistently Promoted the Most Radical Leftist Outlets
While the quantity of left-leaning stories published by Yahoo News is without equal, its emphasis on the most radical outlets is also unparalleled. Yahoo News ran a disproportionate number of stories from radical leftist outlets such as Salon, The New Republic and others, which do not even pretend to be balanced or neutral, instead leaning into highly partisan, politically divisive stories. Salon and The New Republic alone accounted for more stories on Yahoo News than all right-leaning stories combined in February.
Particularly biased leftist headlines used since November 1, 2025 when MRC Free Speech America began tracking the Big Four News Apps included some blatantly biased stories:
“MAGA loves bad dads,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 16, 2026.
“Trump using immigration to subvert the election, official says,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 18, 2026.
“Billionaire Jamie Dimon Smacks Down Trump Goon: ‘Grow Up,’ by The Daily Beast, promoted Dec. 8 and Dec. 9, 2025.
“Under Trump, workplace harassment can now go unpunished,” by Salon, promoted Jan. 23, 2026.
“Trump is something worse than a fascist,” by Salon, promoted Jan. 15, 2026.
“JD Vance doesn’t believe in free speech,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 17, 2026.
“Why Trump’s creepy emails work for MAGA faithful,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 24, 2026.
“Ted Cruz Freaks Out on Fox News About Election Disaster,” by The New Republic, promoted Nov. 6, 2025.
“Stories like these sound like the campaign rhetoric coming straight from the Democratic Party,” said MRC Free Speech America Director Michael Morris. “It is getting more and more difficult to tell the difference between partisan propaganda and so-called ‘news’ from the elitist media. It is no wonder why the American public no longer trusts the media.”
Yahoo News Still Has Massive Reach
Yahoo News (ranked 17th) and Yahoo Finance (ranked 6th) combined for 209,500,000 website visits in the month of January 2026, according to the Press Gazette. Together, this makes Yahoo the fourth most visited news outlet in the U.S. Such a prominent news aggregator should be providing a less partisan, more balanced array of news to its audience.
But it does not. Yahoo News published a total of only 29 stories from right-leaning outlets, a mere 7% of the AllSides-rated top stories it promoted in the mornings throughout February. Since all of these 29 stories were from Fox News, Yahoo News essentially banned every other right-leaning outlet in the world. It published no stories from the New York Post, Breitbart, The Washington Times, The Federalist, the Washington Examiner or The Daily Wire, to name a few. Yahoo News highlighted approximately twelve times more left-leaning than right-leaning stories, a far cry from balanced news.
According to a report from the Reuters Institute, “engagement with traditional media sources such as TV, print, and news websites continues to fall, while dependence on social media, video platforms, and online aggregators grows,” particularly in the United States. Indeed, according to Pew Research Center, 86% of Americans turn to their digital devices for news “at least sometimes.”
Methodology: During the time period Feb. 1 – 28, 2026, MRC researchers examined the top 20 stories featured on Yahoo News each day at approximately 8:30 AM ET. MRC researchers used the AllSides media bias ratings, which categorize an outlet as “left,” “lean left,” “center,” “lean right” or “right” to determine the overall bias presented by Apple News and analyzed the results.

Kimmel Tries To Make Intel Official Resigning a Big Deal
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is a man who wears accusations of having Trump Derangement Syndrome as a badge of honor, but on Tuesday, Kimmel’s TDS led him to applaud Joe Kent’s resigning from the Trump administration over the Iran War. According to Kimmel, Kent is just some disillusioned MAGA follower, not a foreign policy radical who has flip-flopped on the very issue he resigned over.
Kimmel began, “One of Trump’s top intelligence officials caused him some tumult by resigning today in opposition to the war. Joe Kent, Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center, wrote, “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation.”
Jimmy Kimmel hypes flip-flopping Joe Kent’s resignation, “this is not some radical deep-state operative left over from the Biden administration. Kent was a big MAGA guy Trump appointed.

Kent previously claimed he was a big supporter of wiping out Iran’s ballistic missile program, and now he’s resigning because Trump is doing precisely that.
Nevertheless, Kimmel also claimed, “And this is not some radical deep-state operative left over from the Biden administration. Kent was a big MAGA guy Trump appointed. You get the sense every one of these Republicans has their ass cheeks clenched tightly right now, hoping he puts an end to this war as soon as possible.

In his letter, Kent also made the wild claim that he lost his first wife in a war “manufactured by Israel.” In reality, she was killed by ISIS in Syria. Israel did not manufacture the Syrian Civil War.
If Joe Kent took a job in the Trump administration knowing that his views were not aligned with the White House, then that is on him. The fact that he has fallen to conspiracy theorizing about his own wife’s death is an indictment of him, and the fact that Jimmy Kimmel and his band of writers roll him out as the voice of reason is an indictment of them.
