Delta Air Lines is making a key change to its baggage guarantee program, shortening the window that travelers have to file a claim if their checked bags are delayed.The airline confirmed that passengers will now have just two hours after their flight arrives at the gate to request compensation.Previously, travelers had up to three days to submit a claim.FLIGHT ATTENDANT’S COSTLY ERROR LEADS TO GROUNDING OF DELTA FLIGHT, LONG PASSENGER DELAYSDelta told Fox News Digital in a statement that customers whose checked bags do not arrive within 20 minutes of landing on domestic flights are still eligible for compensation.”SkyMiles Members whose checked bags do not arrive at the carousel within 20 minutes of any domestic flight are eligible to receive 2,500 miles when they file a claim with Delta,” the airline said.”To streamline the process, Delta asks customers to submit those claims utilizing the quick and easy process on delta.com/bag-guarantee no later than two hours after their flight arrives at the gate.”DELTA PILOT TELLS CONTROL TOWER “WE LOST LEFT ENGINE” AS FLIGHT IGNITES RUNWAY FIREThe baggage guarantee applies only to domestic flights.It offers 2,500 SkyMiles to eligible travelers whose luggage is delayed, Delta said.The change significantly shortens the timeframe for filing claims — meaning passengers must act quickly after arriving at their destination.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERDelta’s program is considered one of the more generous in the airline industry, as not all carriers offer compensation for delayed baggage.Alaska Airlines offers a similar 20-minute baggage guarantee, though the process works differently.If checked bags are not delivered within 20 minutes of arrival, customers can receive either a $25 discount code for a future flight or 2,500 bonus points, the airline says.Unlike Delta, Alaska requires passengers to speak with an agent at the airport to file a claim — plus, requests must be made within two hours of arrival, according to the airline.CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIESThe updated policy for Delta underscores the importance of checking baggage claims promptly and submitting requests quickly if luggage is delayed.The change has also sparked discussion among travelers on social media.Users said the shorter deadline could make it harder for travelers to take advantage of the policy.”So to summarize, they are late, so now we have to speed up our time to submit?” one commenter wrote.TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZOther users questioned whether the move was designed to reduce payouts.”Pathetic attempt to not pay out claims at the same rate anymore,” one person wrote.Other people had no issues.They said they routinely file claims while waiting at baggage claim and have not had any problems with the process.
Rubio testifies in trial of ex-Florida congressman allegedly hired by Maduro government to lobby for Venezuela
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is testifying Tuesday in the trial of former Miami congressman and roommate David Rivera, who is accused of trying to lobby members of Congress and the White House on behalf of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Rubio, testifying in a packed federal courtroom in Miami with heightened security, said he and Rivera became “very close” when both overlapped for six years as members of the Florida Legislature in the early 2000s. Rivera, a Republican, was arrested in December 2022 on charges of money laundering and representing a foreign government without registering. In July 2017, Rubio said he got a call from Rivera saying he needed to see him urgently to discuss Venezuela. The next morning, Rivera traveled to Washington and, at a meeting at his home, said he was working with Raul Gorrin, a media magnate in Venezuela who was Rivera’s main conduit to the Maduro government, on a plan to persuade Maduro to step aside. “I was skeptical,” said Rubio during his testimony, according to The Associated Press, adding that the Maduro government was full of “double dealers” who were constantly pitching plans to betray Maduro. VENEZUELA’S DELCY RODRIGUEZ REPLACES SANCTIONED LOYALIST DEFENSE MINISTER WITH MILITARY INTEL HEAD “But if there was a 1% chance it was real, and I had a role to play alerting the White House, I was open to doing that,” he added. Within days, borrowing talking points provided by Rivera, Rubio wrote and delivered a speech on the Senate floor signaling the U.S. would not retaliate against Venezuelan government insiders who worked to push Maduro from power, the AP reported. “He provided me with insight into some of the key phrases that regime insiders would’ve wanted to hear to know this was serious,” Rubio testified. “No vengeance, no retribution.” In the indictment against Rivera, there’s no indication that Rubio acted improperly as a senator at the time. The allegations come in connection to a $50 million consulting contract Rivera signed with Venezuela’s socialist government. The indictment alleges Rivera, at the start of the Trump administration, was part of a conspiracy to lobby on behalf of Venezuela to lower tensions with the U.S., resolve a legal dispute with a U.S. oil company and end U.S. sanctions against the South American nation — all without registering as a foreign agent. RUBIO SAYS CUBA NEEDS ‘NEW PEOPLE IN CHARGE’ AS BLACKOUTS, UNREST GRIP ISLAND As part of his work, Rivera and his co-defendant are accused of trying to arrange meetings for then-Foreign Minister Delcy Rodríguez — now Venezuela’s acting president — in Dallas, New York, Washington and Caracas, Venezuela, with White House officials, members of Congress and the chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil. To cloak their activities, prosecutors said, the co-defendants and others set up a chat group called MIA — for Miami — in which they used Spanish-language code words like “Little Cuban” for Rubio, “The Lady in Red” for Rodríguez and “melons” for millions of dollars. “This case is about two things: greed and betrayal,” prosecutor Roger Cruz said in his opening statement Monday. “The evidence will show that for $50 million these two defendants made a pact to secretly lobby for Nicolás Maduro,” as well as for Rodríguez. Rivera, 60, counters that his one-man firm, Interamerican Consulting, was hired by an American subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company — not the company itself — and therefore did not need to register as a foreign agent. His three-month contract, his attorney says, was focused exclusively on luring Exxon back to Venezuela — commercial work that is generally exempt from the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Separate and wholly distinct from that consulting work were his efforts with the Venezuelan opposition to pave the way for Maduro’s exit, Rivera’s defense said. Fox News’ Gillian Turner, Fox News Digital’s Danielle Wallace and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Newly Released Documents Reveal Judges Beryl Howell and Boasberg Secretly Worked with Jack Smith to Bring Charges Against President Trump
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday released Jack Smith subpoenas of FBI Director Kash Patel’s phone records.
“Jack Smith subpoenaed Verizon for roughly TWO YEARS’ worth of FBI Director Kash Patel’s private records, including his text and call logs, residential address and credit card number,” the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Tuesday.
“The records include a wish list created by Smith’s team naming 14 members of Congress for whom they wanted to seek tolling data,” Grassley said.
“Some of those members are senators on this very Committee,” Senator Grassley said.

Last month it was reported that Joe Biden’s FBI obtained phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles back in 2022 and 2023 as part of Jack Smith’s investigation into classified documents lawfully stored at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records — along with those of now White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight,” Kash Patel said to Fox News.
Kash Patel fired at least 10 of the FBI officials involved in secretly subpoenaing his phone records.
The newly released documents reveal Judges Boasberg and Beryl Howell (both Obama appointees) secretly worked with then-Special Counsel Jack Smith to bring charges against President Trump.

Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami in June 2023 for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which was protected by Secret Service agents.
Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.
Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, dismissed Jack Smith’s classified documents case in 2024.
Cannon dismissed Jack Smith’s case based on both unconstitutional elements: The appointment by US Attorney Merrick Garland and the unlimited funding given to Jack Smith – both without the approval of Congress.

‘These people are insane’: Super-woke version of ‘Star Trek’ canceled, now William Shatner beams in
This generation of “Star Trek” won’t live long and prosper, and its bold pushing of the woke mind virus through the universe may be partly to blame.
Paramount+ has decided to pull the plug on “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” after just its second season, Variety reported.
USA Today noted: “Some on social media labeled the show ‘woke’ and mocked its diverse casting and storylines, which included the introduction of the first openly gay Klingon character.”
Outkick founder Clay Travis opined: “Imagine having to cancel a freaking Star Trek show – a show about aliens in space with tens of millions of fans who want to watch and like it – because you insisted on making it too woke. These people are insane.”
Paramount has cancelled the new Star Trek.

President Donald Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller called the show’s cancellation “tragic.”
“But it’s not too late for Paramount+ to save the franchise,” Miller explained. “Step 1: Reconcile with William Shatner and give him total creative control.”
Shatner, who portrayed the legendary Captain James T. Kirk on TV and films since the 1960s, is not buying into the woke argument, recalling his white character famously kissed his black lieutenant, Nichelle Nichols’ Uhura, in a 1968 episode.
William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk on the original ‘Star Trek’
“During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show,” Shatner said.
“Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called ‘woke DEI crap’ because it went against ‘norms’ of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.”

He also expressed sorrow about the cancellation of “Starfleet Academy,” saying: “Star Trek exists in more than one world. It exists in the fantasy of science fiction – weird and wonderful things that play unimaginable possibilities of exploration and human endeavor. But it also exists in the fantasy of human beings, the perfection of human beings, the exploration that human beings have made since the dawn of time and the continuing exploration – physically mentally and morally.”
“It’s that aspect of Star Trek that I’ve always loved, to look at something physically that doesn’t exist now by these talented writers & designers but also to tackle the eternal human questions the agonies, the ecstasies. Star Trek should exist for a long time to come based on those truths. I for one would love to see its continuity. It’s with sorrow that I hear about the cancellation of the new Star Trek series.”

A full statement issued by CBS and Paramount indicates: “We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to life. The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the ‘Star Trek’ universe in exciting new ways.
“We’re grateful to Alex Kurtzman, Noga Landau, Gaia Violo, and the entire cast and crew who pushed storytelling boundaries in the spirit of Gene Roddenberry’s vision. We look forward to sharing the upcoming second and final season with everyone, and continuing to celebrate the cast, crew, and all that was accomplished with this series.”

Quadruple amputee who is also a professional cornhole player accused of fatally shooting his car passenger
A quadruple amputee who is also a professional cornhole player is accused of fatally shooting his car passenger, according to numerous reports. But how could he have fired a gun?Two people flagged down police officers in La Plata, Maryland, at 10:25 p.m. Sunday, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said. La Plata is about 35 miles south of Washington, D.C.’It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone.’Officials said a preliminary investigation revealed the two people in question were in the back seat of a car when the driver — Dayton James Webber, 27, of La Plata — shot and killed the front-seat passenger during an argument.Officials said Webber pulled over and asked the two passengers to help pull the victim out of the car — but the two witnesses refused, exited the car, and left the scene. Webber then fled with the victim still in the car, officials said, adding that all the occupants of the car are known to each other.A search began, and nearly two hours later, a resident of Charlotte Hall, Maryland, called 911 to report a body in a yard, officials said.Officers responded and found the victim — Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf — who was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.Charles County Sheriff’s Office detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Webber and found his car in Charlottesville, Virginia, officials said.Webber was found at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue, officials said.Upon Webber’s release from the hospital, officers with the Albemarle County Police Department arrested Webber, officials said.Webber soon was arraigned in the District Court of Maryland for Charles County, WTTG-TV reported, adding that he was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and two counts of first-degree assault.RELATED: All-out brawl … at a cornhole tournament fundraiser? Sadly, yes: ‘Alcohol and beanbags do not mix’ WTTG, citing a statement of charges filed by Det. M. Bigelow of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, said Webber picked up two people from work in a vehicle with Wells already in the front passenger seat. While the vehicle was in motion, an argument broke out between Webber and Wells, the station said, citing the documents.The two witnesses told police that Webber pulled out a firearm and shot Wells twice in the head during the argument, WTTG reported.The statement of charges also indicates that Webber soon pulled the vehicle over and asked the passengers to remove Wells from the car, but they refused, exited the vehicle, and flagged down a police officer, the station said. Webber drove off with Wells still inside the car, WTTG said.Around 12:41 a.m. Monday, a Charlotte Hall resident found Wells’ body on the side of a road, the station said, citing the documents.The statement of charges notes that both witnesses from the car positively identified Webber as the shooter and Wells as the victim, WTTG reported, which provided the basis for the murder and assault charges against Webber.Police have not explained how Webber — a quadruple amputee — was able to drive a car or fire a weapon, the station said.”It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone,” Diane Richardson of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office told WTTG in a statement.However, the station in its story included links to videos posted on social media that WTTG said “do appear to show Webber shooting rifles and 9mm handguns.”The station, citing reports, said Webber underwent quadruple amputation as a baby after a blood infection.What’s more, WTTG said Webber is a professional cornhole player in the American Cornhole League.”That’s one of the great things about our sport, how accessible it is, and how we like to say anyone can play, anyone can win, because if you want to put your mind to it, you want to put the time into practice, you can become competitive,” ACL Commissioner Stacey Moore told Fox News Digital earlier this month, according to the station.Those who have more information about this case are asked to call Det. R. Johnson at 301-609-6453, WTTG said.Tipsters who want to remain anonymous may contact Charles County Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS, the station said, adding that tips also can be submitted online at www.charlescountycrimesolvers.com or by using the P3Intel mobile app.Like Blaze News?

Terrible 2Y Auction: Biggest Tail In 3 Years, Dealers Highest Since 2022
Terrible 2Y Auction: Biggest Tail In 3 Years, Dealers Highest Since 2022
With both foreign and domestic investors dumping gold (and anything else not nailed down) to fund oil, at its brand sparkling new price of $170 (in Asia), we were wondering how long before the lack of disposable cash hits US debt. We got the answer today at just after 1pm when we got the results of today’s $69 billion 2Year bond auction. In a nutshell, it was terrible.
The auction priced at a high yield of 3.936%, up from 3.455% last month and the highest since May 2025. It also tailed the When Issued by a whopping 1.8bps, the highest tail since March 2023.
The bid to cover was a piss poor 2.440, down sharply from 2.630 and the lowest since May 2024.
The internals were also ugly, with Indirects taking 59.98%, an improvement from 55.91% in February, but it was the Direct bidders that unexpectedly tumbled from 42.3% to 16.50%, the lowest since March 2025. This left Dealers holding 24.12% of the auction, up sharply from 9.81% and the highest since October 2022.
Overall, this was a very ugly auction, and the only thing that could have made it catastrophic was if Indirects had also refused to participate. For now they haven’t but at this rate it’s just a matter of time before Indirects go limit down and Dealers are forced to carry the entire auction.

Mark Zuckerberg Is Building An AI Version Of A CEO To Help Him Run Meta
Mark Zuckerberg Is Building An AI Version Of A CEO To Help Him Run Meta
This isn’t going to help the speculation that Zuckerberg, himself is a robot. I mean, it’s only a joke…right?
Mark Zuckerberg is pushing a future where everyone—inside and outside Meta Platforms—has a personal AI agent. He’s beginning with his own, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal.
The CEO is building an internal “CEO agent,” still in development, that helps him quickly access information he’d normally get through layers of staff. The goal reflects a broader company shift: speed up work, reduce hierarchy, and compete with lean, AI-first startups.
AI adoption has become central to Meta’s strategy. Zuckerberg recently emphasized this direction, saying, “We’re investing in AI-native tooling so individuals at Meta can get more done,” adding that the company is “elevating individual contributors and flattening teams.” Employees are now expected to use AI regularly, and it even factors into performance reviews.
Across the company, staff are experimenting heavily. Internal forums are full of AI tools and ideas, with some employees describing the environment as similar to Meta’s early “move fast and break things” era—now updated to a more stable, AI-driven version of rapid innovation.
New tools are emerging internally. Personal agents can access files, communicate with coworkers—or even other agents—on a user’s behalf. Another tool, Second Brain, acts like an “AI chief of staff,” helping organize and retrieve project information. There are even spaces where employees’ AI agents interact with each other.
WSJ writes that Meta is also investing externally, acquiring startups like Moltbook and Manus to expand its capabilities.
To support this shift, Meta created a new applied AI engineering group designed to be “AI native from day one,” focused on accelerating development of its AI models. Employees are encouraged to attend frequent AI trainings, hackathons, and build their own tools.
Still, the rapid transformation brings mixed feelings. While some employees find it energizing, others worry about job security—especially after major layoffs in 2022 and 2023 as the company restructured for efficiency.
Meta’s leadership sees this transition as essential. As CFO Susan Li put it, staying competitive means ensuring a company of Meta’s scale can operate just as efficiently as smaller, AI-native firms.

Mullin is being sworn in Tuesday.Stitt, who made the announcement during a press conference on Tuesday, described Armstrong in a post on X as “a proud third-generation Oklahoman, staunch conservative, respected business leader, and a devoted family man with an inspiring American Dream story.”REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: GOP EYES DHS DEAL FUNDING ICE PROBES, BUT NOT REMOVALS, AS SHUTDOWN DRAGSThe governor noted during the press conference that Armstrong is stepping down from the board of Williams.

Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Republican to vote against Mullin’s confirmation, while Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico were the only Democrats to vote for confirmation. Mullin cast a vote to green-light his own nomination.Armstrong will not be able to run in the next election for the Senate seat he’s now filling because Oklahoma state law stipulates that “a person who is a prospective appointee shall submit to the Secretary of State an oath affirming that the person will not file as a candidate for the office when it next appears on the ballot.”TRUMP-BACKED SENATE HOPEFUL GAINS MOMENTUM WITH TOP GOP ENDORSEMNTS BEFORE MULLIN DHS SHIFTMullin is replacing Kristi Noem, who will instead serve as a special envoy for a security initiative pertaining to the Western Hemisphere.
