A New York Times photographer was awarded with a Pulitzer Prize Monday for his photos of the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The July 13 event yielded numerous historic photos and videos, such as when Trump quickly got up after being shot as Secret Service agents escorted him off the stage holding his fist in the air while shouting the words, “Fight, fight, fight.”

One iconic image by The Times’ Doug Mills managed to capture the split-second moment a speeding bullet was seen mid-air next to Trump’s head at the rally. The photo was one of several he captured that day that earned him one of the most prestigious awards in journalism.

Days after the assassination attempt, Mills sat down with Fox News at the Republican National Convention to share his firsthand account of the shocking ordeal. 

ATTEMPTED TRUMP ASSASSIN SEEN WALKING AROUND PENNSYLVANIA RALLY HOURS BEFORE OPENING FIRE

“I just happened to be down, shooting with a wide-angle lens just below the president when he was speaking. There was a huge flag waving right above his head, and I just happened to be taking pictures at the same time,” he told “America’s Newsroom” in Milwaukee at the time.

“Then, when I heard the pops, I guess I kept hitting on the shutter, and then I saw him reach for his [ear]. He grimaced and grabbed his hand and looked. It was blood, and then he went down, and I thought, ‘Dear God, he’s been shot,'” he continued.

Mills said the moment he discovered he had captured an image of the bullet whizzing past Trump was a “surprise” to him.

It happened after he was ushered into a tent and began sending photos of Trump’s defiant fist pump to an editor.

“I was like, ‘Oh, hell. I remember taking pictures of him when this happened. Let me go back and look.’ I started looking at it. I started sending them right away, and I called one of the editors and said, ‘Please look at these really closely. This might have been near the moment where he was shot,’” he said. 

“She called me back like five minutes later and said, ‘You won’t believe this.’ She goes, ‘We actually see a bullet flying behind his head, and I was like, ’Oh my gosh.'”

Mills said he captured the rally images with a Sony a1 camera.

“Doug Mills of The New York Times won the breaking news photography prize for his photos capturing the attempted assassination of President Trump last year, including an image in which a bullet can be seen,” the New York Times’ media reporter Katie Robertson reported as she touted three other other Pulitzers The Times won for stories on Sudan, Afghanistan and Baltimore.

Two people were arrested last week in North Carolina after deputies discovered a quantity of fentanyl large enough to “potentially kill 13,000 people,” authorities said.

The Burke County Sheriff’s Office said Dustin McCurry, 41, and Kayly Allman, 33, were arrested on April 30 after deputies searched their vehicle and found a large amount of drugs during a traffic stop in the Clear Creek Access area of South Mountains State Park, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.

Deputies allegedly found multiple items of drug paraphernalia in Allman’s possession, along with approximately 13.59 grams of a crystalline substance that field-tested positive for methamphetamine. 

Officials said McCurry was found in possession of drug paraphernalia and approximately 26.96 grams of a substance suspected to be fentanyl.

“In this case, the suspect, McCurry, was found in possession of over 26,000 milligrams of fentanyl – enough to potentially kill approximately 13,000 people,” the sheriff’s office said.

According to law enforcement, just 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be a lethal dose.

“The Burke County Sheriff’s Office remains dedicated to protecting the safety and well-being of our community by proactively addressing illegal drug activity,” the sheriff’s office said. “It should be noted that the estimated lethal dose of fentanyl is approximately 2 milligrams (mg), depending on individual tolerance and the purity of the substance.”

Both Allman and McCurry were out on pretrial release at the time of the incident, officials said, and as a result, neither was issued a bond, pending judicial review. 

“This investigation is a powerful reminder of the severe threat fentanyl poses to public safety and highlights the critical need for ongoing vigilance and enforcement,” the sheriff’s office said.

Jon Gruden is back in professional football, but it’s not with the NFL. 

The former head coach will be joining the Nashville Kats in the Arena Football One League as a part-owner. 

Gruden won’t be a head coach, but rather the team said he will be in “consulting and advisory roles in all aspects of the team’s football and business operations.”

Gruden joins an ownership group that includes former Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher, who also serves as the league’s commissioner and Kats president.

“I have been a fan of indoor football for a long time and jumped at the opportunity to be involved with Jeff and the Nashville Kats as part of the ownership group,” Gruden said in a statement. “I have so much respect for what Jeff has done over his career and continues to do with the Nashville Kats and as commissioner of AF1. I’m excited to be part of the team.”

JON GRUDEN RECALLS HILARIOUS PEYTON MANNING JAB AFTER ILL-ADVISED PLAY CALL

Gruden has not been involved with any professional football team at any level since he resigned as the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach during the 2021 season. The resignation came after damning emails he sent prior to being hired by the franchise, which included anti-gay, racist and misogynistic comments. 

The 61-year-old held an advisory role with the New Orleans Saints in 2023, though he wasn’t an official part of the staff. 

He did file a lawsuit against the NFL for contract interference and conspiracy, but a three-justice panel in Nevada Supreme Court sided 2-1 with the NFL. Gruden appealed the decision and it will be reviewed by a seven-person court at a later date. 

While Gruden is well known for his time in the NFL, his younger brother, Jay, has won four Arena Football League titles as a player and two as a coach before he jumped into the NFL. 

Since his resignation, Gruden has stayed connected with the NFL, most recently joining Barstool Sports to provide his expertise for the sports media company. 

But now Gruden gets to be a part of the game at a real professional capacity once again.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries slammed President Donald Trump while discussing the recent chaos at Newark Liberty International Airport, saying he had “decimated the FAA.”

During a press conference on Monday, Jeffries took a reporter’s question about the recent delays at Newark Airport.

“Well, it’s certainly something that I think we’re all invested in looking into, as it relates to the ability of the American people to be able to travel in an efficient way,” the Democrat began, before turning his attention to Trump.

“We do know that the Trump administration has decimated the FAA in a variety of different ways, and they’ve been doing this from the very beginning,” he added. “They are breaking the federal government.”

Jeffries added that the Trump administration is “breaking the FAA.”

“And whether the specific situation at Newark Airport has anything to do with that remains to be seen,” he continued.

“But it’s my expectation that the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will look into this situation, and we should get some answers to figure out how to get it turned around.”

UN WATCHDOG PROJECT CALLS ON DOGE CAUCUS TO ‘AUDIT’ THE INTERNATIONAL ORG

The conference came days after the massive delays and cancellations at the New Jersey airport began.

On Thursday, more than 500 flights in and out of Newark were delayed and at least 200 others were canceled, and chaos followed throughout the weekend. As of Monday afternoon, 172 flights have been delayed and 76 have been canceled on Monday.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the situation on poor technology in an X post on Friday.

“The technology that we are using is old. That’s what is causing the outages and delays we are seeing at Newark,” Duffy wrote.

Jon Voight and President Donald Trump want to “Make Hollywood Great Again.” 

Voight, along with special advisor Steven Paul, submitted a “comprehensive plan” to the president to save the film and television industry.

The “Ray Donovan” actor, 86, was named in January as a special ambassador by Trump for the purpose of “bringing Hollywood” back.

TRUMP NAMES SYLVESTER STALLONE, MEL GIBSON AND JON VOIGHT AS SPECIAL AMBASSADORS

Voight and Paul met with “dozens of leading film and television organizations (guilds, unions, studios and streamers) about what changes need to be made to increase domestic film production,” according to a statement. 

The meeting was conducted in person with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and included SP Media Group/Atlas Comics President Scott Karol.

“The proposal includes federal tax incentives, significant changes to several tax codes, the establishment of co-production treaties with foreign countries, and infrastructure subsidies for theater owners, film and television production companies, and post-production companies,” the statement said. “The proposal also includes a focus on job training, and tariffs in certain limited circumstances.”

“The President loves the entertainment business and this country, and he will help us make Hollywood great again,” Voight said.

“The American film industry, and Hollywood, is a beacon for teaching the American Dream to the world and is an engine for job growth and career opportunity,” said Paul. “It’s essential that we preserve America’s leadership in film and television production.”

He added, “We look forward to working with the administration, the unions, studios, and streamers to help form a plan to keep our industry healthy and bring more productions back to America.

“By creating the right environment through smart incentives, updated policies, and much-needed support, we can ensure that American production companies thrive, more jobs stay here at home, and Hollywood once again leads the world in creativity and innovation.”

“We’ve spent months meeting with top leaders across the film and television industry, and there is broad agreement that runaway production has become a serious issue that needs to be addressed now,” Karol said. 

“This plan is about leveling the playing field so that producing right here in America is not only a competitive option, but the first choice.”

The White House and its relevant policy advisors are in the process of reviewing the proposal.

Trump announced in January that Voight, Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone would work closely with his administration as special envoys.

“It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. 

“They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!” 

He added, “These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”

In a Truth Social post shared Sunday, Trump said he would begin implementing a Hollywood-related tariff to support filmmaking in the states.

“Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States,” Trump claimed. “Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated.”

The Republican said his plans to institute a tariff are in the works, and he authorized the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative “to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.”

The House Rules Committee has advanced a bill to permanently rename the Gulf of America.

Formerly the Gulf of Mexico, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that upended that as part of his America First agenda.

But without congressional action, the name could be reverted by a future administration – which spurred Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to introduce a bill enshrining the name in federal law.

The measure advanced through the House Rules Committee in a party-line vote on Monday evening, teeing it up for a chamber-wide vote sometime this week. The House Rules Committee acts as the final gatekeeper for most bills before they hit the House floor.

MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE

Democrats had attempted to derail the measure with several protest amendments, including one that would have limited oil and gas drilling permissions in the area. 

None of those passed along with the final bill, however, as expected. 

Democrats ripped the legislation as a meaningless attempt to score political points with Trump.

Republicans, however, called it a “historic” move for America First and an  “important symbol of that effort and a step in the right direction.”

“Throughout our country’s history, presidents have changed the names of America’s lands and waters. The change we are discussing today signals to the world that America is standing tall, and that we are proud of our country,” Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., said in support of the bill.

“It is nearly impossible to overstate the Gulf of America’s critical role in achieving not only American energy independence, but dominance. President Trump has made it a priority of his administration to reassert America’s role as a global leader in energy production, and the Gulf of America is a critical part of that agenda.”

She pointed back to Republicans’ 2024 electoral sweep, “The American people support these policies, and we must deliver on the promises that we have made.”

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., a member of the House Rules Committee, said during her opening statement during the panel’s debate on the measure, “Ever since the beginning of Trump’s term, House Republicans have been tripping over themselves to find new and more embarrassing ways to suck up to the president and indulge his peculiar obsessions.”

SCOOP: REPUBLICANS DISCUSS DEFUNDING ‘BIG ABORTION’ LIKE PLANNED PARENTHOOD IN TRUMP AGENDA BILL

“This bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico is a stupid, unserious waste of time and taxpayer dollars. It’s an embarrassment to the nation that it was ever introduced, let alone that it’s being brought to the floor for a vote,” Scanlon said.

Fox News Digital is told a House-wide vote on the bill is expected Thursday morning.

White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital of the Democrats lodging protest amendments to the bill, “Democrats are so overtaken with Trump Derangement Syndrome and obsessed with obstructing the President’s agenda that they will always put America Last. As President Trump said, the Gulf of America has long been an integral asset to our nation. All future generations should be able to recognize this beautiful body of water as a sign of American greatness.”

The Army has paused all helicopter training flights around the Pentagon near Washington after disruptions to two commercial flights last Thursday.

A senior Army spokesperson confirmed the pause to Fox News on Monday, noting it was implemented pending the investigation into last week’s decision by Reagan National Airport (DCA) to divert two flights after an Army helicopter on a training mission was told by the Pentagon tower to make another loop around the Pentagon before landing. 

At about 2:30 p.m. that day, air traffic control instructed a Delta Air Lines Airbus A319 and a Republic Airways Embraer E170 to perform “go-arounds” at DCA due to an Army Black Hawk helicopter inbound to the Pentagon Army Heliport, according to statements from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

The FAA said the Black Hawk was a priority air transport helicopter.

The aircraft “took a scenic route around the Pentagon versus proceeding directly from the west to the heliport,” prompting controllers to call for two go-arounds, Politico reported, citing an email written Friday by Chris Senn, FAA’s assistant administrator for government and industry affairs.

Army officials, though, took issue with the statement from the FAA suggesting that the helicopter “took a scenic route.”

Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., ranking member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, confirmed the Black Hawk helicopter came from the same Army Aviation brigade as the helicopter involved in the deadly Jan. 29 midair collision over the Potomac River.

But Army officials said the helicopter was not flying the same route. Defense officials said the helicopter last week did an overhead loop over the Pentagon at the accepted parameters set by the FAA before landing on the Pentagon helipad.

There is also growing frustration at the Pentagon with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy over how the situation was handled.

“Our helicopter restrictions around DCA are crystal clear,” Duffy wrote on X Friday. “In addition to investigations from @NTSB and @FAANews, I’ll be talking to the @DeptofDefense to ask why the hell our rules were disregarded.”

“Safety must ALWAYS come first. We just lost 67 souls! No more helicopter rides for VIPs or unnecessary training in a congested DCA airspace full of civilians. Take a taxi or Uber – besides most VIPs have black car service,” he continued.

Several defense officials said they felt blindsided by Duffy’s tweet, adding they wished Duffy had called and spoken with someone at the Pentagon before tweeting.

No military VIPs were onboard the military training flight.

FAA ‘PERMANENTLY RESTRICTING’ WASHINGTON HELICOPTER TRAFFIC AFTER FATAL MIDAIR COLLISION NEAR DC AIRPORT

Thursday’s disruptions come less than one month after the FAA increased staffing and oversight for the DCA air traffic control team.

In March, the FAA announced that it would permanently restrict “nonessential” helicopter operations around the airport and eliminate helicopter and fixed-wing mixed traffic.

The agency also prohibited the simultaneous use of runways 15/33 and 4/22 when helicopters that are conducting urgent missions are operating near DCA.

It is unclear how the incident took place, given the new guidelines.

The Baltimore Ravens have released longtime kicker Justin Tucker, though the organization is calling it a “football decision.”

The Ravens took Arizona’s Tyler Loop in the sixth round of this year’s draft following a rough season for the usually dependable Tucker.

However, Tucker has been embroiled in off-the-field controversy as 16 massage therapists from eight different Baltimore spa and wellness centers have accused him of inappropriate behavior from alleged incidents between 2012-16.

Tucker has denied all allegations, calling them “unequivocally false” in a statement posted to social media. 

“Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult and this is one of those instances. Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker,” Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement on Monday.

“Justin created many significant and unforgettable moments in Ravens history. His reliability, focus, drive, resilience and extraordinary talent made him one of the league’s best kickers for over a decade.

NFL INVESTIGATING JUSTIN TUCKER’S SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS, INTERVIEWING ACCUSERS: REPORTS

“We are grateful for Justin’s many contributions while playing for the Ravens. We sincerely wish him and his family the very best in this next chapter of their lives.

When Loop was taken on day three by the Ravens, there was immediate speculation about Tucker’s future with the franchise. 

The 35-year-old, who is a five-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler, had his worst year in the NFL in 2024 after owning a 73.3% field goal percentage. He still, however, owns the all-time career field goal percentage at 89.1% with that mark. 

Tucker made 22 of his 30 field goal attempts, missing 3-of-8 from 40-49 yards and 6-off-11 from 50 yards and beyond. He also missed two of his 62 extra point attempts. 

But Tucker’s status for the 2025 campaign could be in question as he faces these allegations. 

Ravens president Sashi Brown spoke on the allegations against All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker, as the league got ready for its annual meeting in March. 

A main talking point was how these investigations take time, and there is no timetable for when they would end. 

“That’s never satisfying to anybody involved, probably including Justin and the folks that made the allegations,” Brown said, via the team’s website. “But this is an issue, generally as a society in terms of women making claims that takes a lot of courage and bravery, and frankly as a society we haven’t gotten right for too long.

“From our standpoint, we want to make sure we have great understanding of the facts, hear both sides of the situation and that we allow the investigation to be properly conducted and concluded and make decisions based on full information.”

The Baltimore Banner first reported the allegations with victims saying Tucker exposed himself repeatedly during a span of four years, including his rookie campaign when the Ravens won the Super Bowl. 

Six massage therapists came out at first, followed by seven more women and an eventual total of 16. The accusations from all women are similar. 

“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always sought to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism. I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other bodywork,” Tucker’s statement said. 

“I have never received any complaints from a massage therapist, have never been dismissed from a massage therapy or bodywork session and have never been told that I was not welcome at any spa or other place of business.”

LeBron James announced Monday he will forgo attending the Met Gala despite being the honorary co-chair for the event, which takes place in New York City.

The Los Angeles Lakers star said he’s been dealing with an injury he suffered in the team’s first-round playoff exit against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“Unfortunately because of my knee injury I sustained at the end of the season I won’t be able to attend the Met Gala in NY tonight as so many people have been asking and congratulating me on!” James wrote on X. 

“Hate to miss an historical event! My beautiful powerful Queen will be there holding the castle down as she always has done!”

James suffered a sprained knee ligament in Game 5, the Associated Press reported. The 40-year-old would have been out for a few weeks if the Lakers had avoided elimination.

Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour were named co-chairs for the event.

The theme for the Met Gala is inspired by the annual spring exhibition, which is based on Monica L. Miller’s book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.” 

The exhibit itself, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” draws on other sources beyond the book. It’s organized into a dozen sections, symbolizing a characteristic of dandy style as defined by Zora Neale Hurston in her 1934 essay, “Characteristics of Negro Expression.”

The gala has raised a record $31 million, Metropolitan Museum of Art CEO Max Hollein said.

Nicolas Cage recently had a near-death experience. 

While filming for his latest role in “The Surfer,” the 61-year-old actor revealed he “got pounded to smithereens” while practicing his surfing skills: a stunt, he said, that could’ve killed him. 

“I have surfed, but every time I’ve attempted surfing, I’ve been pounded to smithereens,” Cage, who plays a businessman who returns to Australia in hopes of buying his childhood beach house, told Entertainment Weekly. “I surfed down on Sunset Beach. When I was trying to learn, my teacher gave me a short board. I said, ‘Look, I want a long board.'”

NICOLAS CAGE SAYS ABSTINENCE, SOBRIETY, 7:30 BEDTIME SPARK CREATIVITY AS HE FOCUSES ON NEW FATHERHOOD

“I just got pounded and literally got stuck in the rip tide, and they said they saw my board, they call it ‘tombstone,’ like that triangle top,” he continued, describing a situation in which the tip of his board stuck out of the water. 

“I’m climbing up the leash as I’m somersaulting, and I could have died,” he continued. “Now I have a young kid, I don’t know if I want to do it anymore.”

Not long ago, Cage, whose impressive career spans over four decades, expressed his desire to possibly retire.

“I feel that I’ve, at this point, after 45 years of doing this, that in over 100 movies, I feel I’ve pretty much said what I’ve had to say with cinema. And I’d like to leave on a high note and say adios,” Cage told Uproxx in 2023.

“I think I have to do maybe three or four more movies before I can get there and then hopefully switch formats and go into some other way of expressing my acting.”

“I would’ve liked to have left on a high note, like ‘Dream Scenario.’ But I have other contracts that I have to fulfill, so we’ll see what happens,” he continued. “I am going to be very severe and very [stringent] on the selection process moving forward. But for me to do another movie, I do want to explore other formats.”

His end goal?

“The goal is to retire, surf, drink red wine and eat spaghetti,” he told EW.
