The U.S. State Department has issued a “worldwide caution” security alert, advising travelers to exercise increased caution, especially those in the Middle East.”Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate,” said the alert, issued on Sunday.  “Periodic airspace closures may cause travel disruptions. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted,” it continued.TSA WARNS OF SECURITY ‘THREAT’ AS AIRPORT CHECKPOINT CLOSURES TRIGGER MORE TRAVEL DELAYS”Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world,” the alert also said. More than 70,000 Americans have left the Middle East and returned to the U.S. since Feb. 28, according to a State Department press release issued March 19.Over 41,000 American citizens have received security guidance and travel assistance, with the U.S. government conducting 60 evacuation flights from the Middle East.Iran on Tuesday launched 17 drones and five ballistic missiles at the United Arab Emirates, according to the UAE’s Ministry of Defense.CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIESPresident Trump acknowledged last week there are terrorist “sleeper cells” in the U.S. that have to be watched and dealt with, he said.He also warned that any terrorists present in the country right now might be the result of former President Joe Biden’s “stupid open border.”The “worldwide caution” security alert comes amid the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, with members of Congress hashing out bills to fund pieces and parts of DHS.The Trump administration recently deployed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to assist with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operations during the ongoing partial government shutdown, DHS said. They are helping with crowd control and line management at many airports, as Fox News previously reported. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., accused Senate Democrats of preventing DHS from operating at a critical moment amid the conflict with Iran.TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ”At a time when our homeland is under attack, all warning lights are flashing red — and they want to peel apart, piece by piece, the Department of Homeland Security, the comprehensive department of our government to protect the American people, because they want to stand with illegal immigrant criminals,” Barrasso said on the Senate floor.The ongoing DHS shutdown has sparked travel chaos in areas of the country, with some airports even closing security checkpoints due to callouts by TSA officers — raising concerns about “threat” levels. Acting Deputy TSA Administrator Adam Stahl told Fox News Digital last week the issue is not just staffing. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERHe said “a variety of other streams of information, including threat [and] intelligence” input, are also part of ongoing risk assessments. Fox News Digital’s Michael Dorgan, Eric Mack and Alex Miller contributed reporting.

House conservatives are firing a warning shot at their Republican counterparts in the Senate as a deal begins to take shape on ending the six-week Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown. Senate Republicans are eyeing a second “big, beautiful bill” via the budget reconciliation process aimed at funding portions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that would likely get little to no Democratic support.That bill would also include parts of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE America) Act, legislation to require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast ballots in federal elections.But a growing contingent of House Republicans who are refusing to vote for any Senate-led legislation are crying foul on that portion of the plan.THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE ‘TALKING FILIBUSTER’ AND THE SAVE ACT”Senate Republicans refused to force a talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act because it would have allowed Democrats to offer unlimited amendments. Now, Senate R’s claim they will pass SAVE America Act via reconciliation (which may not even be possible under the Senate’s arcane rules), which would… checks notes …allow Democrats to offer unlimited amendments,” the conservative House Freedom Caucus said in a statement posted to X on Tuesday.”This is gaslighting. The American people are not stupid and will not accept more failure theater from Republicans in Congress.”Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who led a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., vowing to oppose Senate bills until the SAVE America Act was passed, signaled he would reserve final judgment until a legislative proposal was released. But he did signal some skepticism in comments to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUSH JOHNSON TO GO TO WAR WITH SENATE OVER SAVE ACT”It will not resolve my issue. I mean, look, they can say they’ll put it in reconciliation if they want. But I will continue to vote no on all Senate bills until the SAVE America Act is passed,” Fine said.He made an exception for funding DHS, however, particularly if the final Senate bill was a modified version of that which the House already passed in January.Republican senators huddled with President Donald Trump and others at the White House late on Monday, and emerged hopeful that an end to the shutdown could be in sight.MULLIN CONFIRMED AS DHS CHIEF AS LAWMAKERS NEAR SOLUTION ON SHUTDOWN STANDOFFThe working framework would see ICE funding carved from the broader DHS spending bill, something Senate Democrats have tried to do in recent weeks but were blocked by Senate Republicans. That means most of the agency would be reopened, and ICE would be dealt with in the future through budget reconciliation, the process that nearly ripped the GOP apart last year when they passed the “big, beautiful bill.” And part of the deal would also see Republicans pair portions of the SAVE America Act tossed in with ICE funding, which some Senate Republicans are already skeptical of.Only parts of ICE would be left to reconciliation, however, with the majority of the agency, save for its enforcement and removal operations, being funded in the initial compromise deal, according to PBS.The remainder of DHS would be funded via a bipartisan deal that could be released as soon as Tuesday.But the budget reconciliation process is a long and politically arduous path that could take months — a particularly difficult feat in an election year.There’s also been skepticism in both the House and Senate that Republicans’ razor-thin majorities could unite enough to pass another massive bill, like the one signed into law by Trump in July that mainly dealt with his tax plans.Conservatives have also noted that there’s little chance many of the SAVE America Act’s provisions could survive the strict guardrails around what can be included in reconciliation.A source familiar with the House Freedom Caucus’s thinking also panned the prospective deal to Fox News Digital.”Radical progressive Democrats shut down Homeland Security to protect criminal aliens. Why on earth would we hand them exactly what they want by keeping the deportation wing unfunded?” the source said on Tuesday. “We hold the leverage. Don’t surrender it. No more kicking immigration enforcement down the road, so Democrats can take a victory lap.”It would put the group at odds with not only Republican leaders in the Senate, but potentially the White House as well.A White House official told Fox News Digital before the deal became official that, “Conversations are ongoing, but this deal seems to be acceptable.”And a source familiar with negotiations on DHS retorted to Fox News Digital that the Freedom Caucus’ argument comparing the talking filibuster with reconciliation was “not even close to being the same.”The key difference is that during reconciliation there is limited debate and only amendments that deal directly with what’s in the package can be offered, while in a talking filibuster there is unlimited debate and unlimited amendments.The Senate GOP wanted to avoid the latter scenario, given that they aren’t unified to block every Democratic amendment that could have drastically altered the SAVE America Act.

Scottie Scheffler has proven he’s human over the last couple of weeks, but perhaps there may be a reason for it.With a couple of tune-ups in Scheffler’s home state of Texas before heading to Augusta National in April, one of those is no longer on his schedule.The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that Scheffler withdrew from the Texas Children’s Houston Open and was replaced by Matt Kuchar.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The reason was not given, but reading between the lines, Scheffler may be dealing with something — or perhaps he may just need a break before going for his third green jacket.Scheffler finished T-22 at The Players earlier this month after finishing T-24 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He began the 2026 season with a victory at The American Express and followed up with typical results of T-3 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and T-4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He then finished T-12 at the Genesis Invitational.TIGER WOODS STEPPING BACK INTO COMPETITIVE GOLF AS MASTERS LOOMFor context, before this recent slump, Scheffler finished inside the top 10 in each of his previous 19 tournaments, and the last time he finished outside the top 20 in back-to-back events was in July and August 2023.At the very least, there is cause for concern for Scheffler to miss a tournament he’s had plenty of success with — he’s finished T-2 in three of the last four Children’s Opens.Scheffler won the Masters for the first time in 2022, officially putting himself on the map. Two years later, he took the green jacket back from Jon Rahm, proving himself as the game’s best after being named the PGA Tour Player of the Year in each of the two years prior.Scheffler’s last chance for a Masters warm-up will be next week at the Valero Texas Open.Reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy had to withdraw from the Arnold Palmer Invitational but returned for The Players the following week.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Progress cargo spaceship manually docks to the ISS – Screengrab NASA Social Media/X
‘All’s well that ends well’ – William Shakespeare.
NASA and the Russian Roscosmos are celebrating the successful docking of the ‘Progress’ cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station.
The docking had to be performed manually by cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov after a glitch prevented an antenna from fully deploying.
The Soyuz rocket was successfully launched on Sunday (22) from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, after around three months of repairs due to an accident in late 2025.
Watch: damage in Baikonur launch pad.

Après trois mois de travail acharné et trois équipes de maintenance mobilisées, le pad 31/6 de Baïkonour s’apprête à reprendre les tirs en mars.

But right after liftoff, the glitch in the ‘Progress’ added more tension to the ISS missions, which have seen two astronauts left stranded for 9 months in space by the malfunctioning Boeing’s Starliner, and also the first medical evacuation from space, after crew member Mike Fincke had an unspecified health issue in the ISS.
From the NASA website:
“The uncrewed Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft arrived at the space-facing port of the International Space Station’s Poisk module at 9:40 a.m. EDT Tuesday. 
Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov manually piloted the spacecraft during docking using the TORU (Telerobotically Operated Rendezvous System) control panel inside the space station’s Zvezda Service Module after one of the spacecraft’s two KURS automated rendezvous antennas failed to deploy after launch.
The spacecraft is delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew. It will remain docked to the orbiting laboratory for about six months before departing for a planned destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.”

LIVE: After two days in flight, the Progress 94 cargo spacecraft is arriving at the @Space_Station with food, fuel, and other supplies. Docking is scheduled for 9:34am ET (1334 UTC). https://t.co/FnOm4FVpkH
