'It won't be long': HUD secretary shares video of dilapidated roof tiles at HQ amid bid to move it outside DC

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner shared a video Monday afternoon on social media showing falling roof tiles at the HUD agency’s D.C. headquarters amid the agency’s efforts to relocate its headquarters under the Trump administration.
The video of the damaged building comes after Turner announced last month that HUD would be relocating its headquarters down the road to Alexandria, Virginia.
Turner previously cited the fact that the D.C. building is facing over $500 million in “deferred maintenance” costs, while only half of HUD’s D.C. headquarters is currently being used. He has also argued the building is not safe, which he further illustrated in a Monday post on X.
HUD BECOMES FIRST MAJOR CABINET AGENCY TO EXIT DC, CITING ‘FAILING’ HQ — WHICH DOGE WANTS TO SELL
“The current HUD HQ is falling apart everywhere you turn. I witnessed this firsthand today,” Turner captioned his video posted to X Monday afternoon. “It’s not suitable for HUD staff or the people we serve. Moving day can’t come soon enough.”
Turner showed “damaged roof tiles,” which he described as water-logged and “leaking.” The video showed a gaping hole in the roof of the HUD headquarters, with a trash heap beneath it full of what appeared to be broken roof tiles from the inside of the building that fell.
“Did this fall on anyone?” Turner asked in the video, after which someone behind the camera confirms it did not. “Well,” Turner replied. “It won’t be long. It won’t be long.”
The HUD building will relocate from the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building to 2415 Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, where the National Science Foundation (NSF) is housed, but no indication has been made about when that move will be finalized. The move marks the first major executive agency under Trump to relocate its headquarters.
The relocation effort will be a staggered process that will ultimately relocate approximately 2,700 HUD employees currently based at the D.C. headquarters building, according to the General Services Administration (GSA).
In addition to saving on deferred maintenance costs, the relocation will also save taxpayers roughly $56 million in annual rent and operations expenditures, according to HUD.
“This is about the HUD employees to have a safe space, to have a nice place to work, to represent the people that we serve in America,” Turner said during a press conference formally announcing the relocation last month. “This is not about the secretary. This is about the posterity and the future of HUD.”

NSF staff met this week to discuss how they will handle the HUD relocation, including a potential relocation themselves, local reporting out of Alexandria indicated.

NHL stars Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl shock beer league game as surprise players

Imagine showing up to your weekly ice hockey game to play with some of your friends and local talent, but two of the best players in the NHL are ready to face-off against you.
Edmonton Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were quite the ringers at the Magna Centre in Newmarket, Ontario, last Wednesday for the beer league game, but they were actually outscored by their opponents, who have quite the hockey story for the rest of their lives.
The rink is just minutes away from where McDavid grew up, and he had his partner in crime donned in an Oilers jersey with him on the ice.

Fans in the stands couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched McDavid and Draisaitl play against loved ones and friends. But the Edmonton stars didn’t have the usual point tallies on the night.
In fact, neither player scored a goal.
OILERS TIE STANLEY CUP FINAL WITH OVERTIME COMEBACK VICTORY IN FRONT OF TAYLOR SWIFT, TRAVIS KELCE
Instead, there were clips that went viral on social media of the other team’s goalie making some sweet saves on McDavid’s shots.
Now, it is worth noting neither NHL All-Star was skating full speed and trying to do their patented offensive wizardry on the ice. However, they reportedly found themselves down 4-0 after the first period and eventually lost the game, 6-2.
On-ice officials at the rink were reportedly given notice that the Oilers players were going to play, per TSN.
McDavid spoke with ESPN, who said it wasn’t his first time jumping on the ice in this league that he used to play in during his junior hockey days. In fact, in 2023, he dropped by to play in the championship game against a team that sported Quinton Byfield on their bench, the Los Angeles Kings star.
“That’s a league I played in with my buddies for over 10 years now,” McDavid told ESPN. “We joined that league back when I played junior hockey. I was a little bit surprised to see it get blown up. I’ve been playing in those games for over a decade now. So, it’s pretty funny that it just kind of came up.”
Perhaps McDavid and Draisaitl needed some good vibes with local players after yet another loss to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final.
They will try once more during the 2025-26 season to defend their Western Conference title, and hope they can lift Lord Stanley’s Cup instead of going home empty-handed.
While Draisaitl is locked in with the Oilers for the future after inking an eight-year deal last year, McDavid is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent following this season.

Video shows injured illegal alien suspect being dumped outside New York hospital after CBP officer shot

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday released a video showing an illegal alien suspected of shooting an off-duty Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer being dumped outside a Bronx hospital by another suspect.
The video shows a man in a red shirt riding a black moped into what appears to be a hospital bay, and subsequently pushing a passenger in a white shirt onto the ground. The passenger slinks off the moped before the driver flees the scene.
DHS said in a post on X that the video shows the suspects on the same moped that was also captured on video at the scene of the shooting. “These individuals will face the full weight of the U.S. Justice System,” DHS added in the post.
Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez is accused of shooting the CBP officer during an attempted robbery in Fort Washington Park late Saturday night. The CBP officer was hanging out in the park with a companion when police say Nunez and another suspect pulled up on the moped and tried to rob the officer at gunpoint. The officer pulled out his own service weapon to defend himself. Both Nunez and the officer were shot multiple times.
TEXAS BORDER PATROL SHOOTER DETAILS REMAIN SCANT AS VIOLENCE AGAINST ICE, CBP AGENTS SURGES
The officer, who has not been named, was shot in the face and arm. He is expected to recover.
Nunez entered the U.S. illegally at the Arizona border in 2023. He was released into the country under the Biden administration. At the time of his arrest for the shooting, he had an active warrant for kidnapping in Massachusetts and multiple prior felony arrests, according to DHS.
On Monday, the second person was arrested in connection with the shooting.
Cristian Aybar Berroa of the Dominican Republic, who “illegally entered the United States on June 19, 2022, and was released into the country on interim parole pending his immigration hearing,” was taken into custody, DHS said Monday upon his arrest.
He is suspected of committing several crimes while on parole, including 2nd degree reckless endangerment in May 2023 and 4th degree felony grand larceny and petit larceny in March and April 2024.
SHOOTER WHO OPENED FIRE ON BORDER PATROL AGENTS IN SOUTH TEXAS IDENTIFIED BY POLICE CHIEF
In February of this year, Berroa was arrested for 2nd degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving and for driving without a license, according to DHS.
“On June 12, 2025, Berroa pled guilty to petit larceny at the Bronx County Supreme Court. This plea was made in consolidation of all his previous arrests, and he was conditionally discharged and allowed to roam the streets of NYC,” it also said. “A judge ordered Berroa a final order of removal on January 3, 2023.”
New York is a sanctuary city for illegal aliens, and does not comply with ICE detainer holds.
Nuna and Berroa are expected to face federal charges.

'Superman' director says 'anti-American sentiment' hurting some international box office numbers

“Superman” director James Gunn suggested on Sunday that the film’s underperformance overseas could be from “anti-American sentiment” around the world.
Though “Superman” had the third-highest opening weekend in the U.S. for 2025 at $125 million, the film only grossed about $95 million internationally over the same weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.
Gunn acknowledged that the film is “definitely performing better domestically,” but argued that there were additional factors that led to it underperforming in some countries, such as Superman’s status as an American figure.
‘SUPERMAN’ DIRECTOR’S BROTHER SAYS ANTI-IMMIGRANT MAGA PEOPLE ARE ‘AGAINST THE AMERICAN WAY’
“Superman is not a known commodity in some places,” Gunn told Rolling Stone Magazine. “He is not a big known superhero in some places like Batman is. That affects things. And it also affects things that we have a certain amount of anti-American sentiment around the world right now. It isn’t really helping us.”
Gunn added that the film opened well in Brazil and the U.K., with rising numbers in other countries due to positive word of mouth.
Warner Bros. Discovery declined to comment on the matter when asked by Fox News Digital.
Gunn originally faced backlash for his film just days before its release after saying that the movie would be “about politics” and how the “Superman” story is about immigration.
‘SUPERMAN’ DIRECTOR JAMES GUNN ADDRESSES ‘SUPERWOKE’ BACKLASH FOR HIS MOVIE
“Superman is the story of America,” Gunn told The Sunday Times earlier this month. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”
Gunn was later asked about the “SuperWoke” backlash by Entertainment Weekly on Friday.
“I’ve heard people say it was woke, and then I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s not,” Gunn said. “I am curious as to what in the movie is considered woke.”

Cowboys star Micah Parsons retweets JJ Watt's criticism of Jerry Jones after surprising jab

NFL training camp hasn’t even started yet, and drama speculation has already begun with the Dallas Cowboys.
Cowboys team owner and general manager Jerry Jones spoke with reporters on Monday, and as he has in the past, he dropped some controversial material that star defensive end Micah Parsons didn’t seem to like.
Jones said he wasn’t frustrated with how the current contract negotiations with Parsons are going, adding that he is “appreciative” of the edge rusher being in camp with them going on.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM
However, Jones randomly took a shot at Parsons, saying that even if they do find the right numbers in the deal, it doesn’t mean they will have him on the field. Jones said that Parsons was hurt six games last season, though he was only out four due to injury.
Jones also brought up quarterback Dak Prescott, the highest-paid at the position in the league after signing an extension before the 2024 season, who played just eight games last year due to injury.
J.J. Watt, the ex-Houston Texans great pass rusher, took to social media to bark back at Jones, and Parsons retweeted it on Monday.
“Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it…” Watt wrote on X, sarcastically.
“Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are that they got hurt while fighting for you.”
Since entering the NFL as the 12th overall pick to the Cowboys in 2021, Parsons has racked up 52.5 sacks over 63 games, which includes a 12-sack season in 2024. He also has 63 tackles for loss, 112 quarterback hits and nine forced fumbles over that span.
Parsons has cemented himself as one of the best edge rushers in the sport, and he’s looking to be paid as such.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, shelled out Prescott’s contract along with star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, whose contract is the third-highest in the league at $34 million per season.
Off the edge, Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt, arguably the best defensive player in the league, just got paid $41 million per season over the next three years, while Cleveland Browns stud Myles Garrett is just behind him at $40 million per season. With Houston Texans’ Danielle Hunter making over $34 million per season, and sitting third-highest behind Garrett and Watt after tallying 45 sacks since 2021, Parsons is likely looking for a contract above his.
It will be telling to see what the Cowboys end up doing this preseason with Parsons, who will be playing on his fifth-year option. If a contract isn’t figured out by the start of the next league year, Parsons will be a free agent unless he is franchise tagged.

Accused anti-Israel arsonist turns himself in for allegedly torching 10 NYPD vehicles ahead of protest: feds

An accused anti-Israel arsonist has turned himself in to authorities five weeks after allegedly torching 10 New York City Police Department (NYPD) vehicles and a police trailer, authorities announced Monday.
Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, 21, of New Jersey, was identified in mid-June through forensics and video evidence, and the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force “was hot on his trail” when he turned himself in without incident, accompanied by his lawyer and mother, at a food bazaar in Brooklyn to face federal arson charges, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced on Monday.
The NYPD has estimated the total replacement cost of the burned vehicles is over $800,000.
In requesting a detention order ahead of his initial court appearance, U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella of the Eastern District of New York noted McCray set fire to the NYPD vehicles the Thursday before protests were scheduled over the June 14-15 weekend, “thereby compromising NYPD resources to protect and secure the public.”
The day after the NYPD vehicles were torched, McCray was arrested for allegedly lighting Israeli and American flags on fire outside the Israeli consulate in midtown Manhattan on June 13. He hadn’t yet been identified as a suspect in the burning of the NYPD vehicles. McCray, therefore, was charged only with reckless endangerment, menacing and disorderly conduct at the time and was subsequently released. New York’s cashless bail law limits pre-trial detention for “non-violent” offenses.
Federal prosecutors told the judge Monday that McCray’s alleged conduct “was extraordinarily dangerous,” asserting that lighting ten NYPD vehicles, as well as a trailer, on fire “in a populated area of Brooklyn shows a wanton disregard not only for NYPD officers who could have been near the scene and injured, but also for others in the area who could have been injured by the fires or involved in an accident.”
“The defendant’s criminal conduct caused law-abiding citizens to fear simply driving or walking around their community,” prosecutors wrote.
“Given the nature of the crime charged, there is a statutory presumption of detention, and the defendant should be detained as he poses a significant danger to the community and a risk of flight,” they wrote.
At approximately 12:52 a.m. on June 12, police said McCray was captured on surveillance video scaling the fence of a locked parking lot reserved for NYPD vehicles assigned to Brooklyn North. During the 32 minutes that he remained in the lot, 10 NYPD vehicles and one trailer were set on fire, according to the complaint. An officer came to inspect the lot at about 1:24 a.m. and witnessed McCray inside by the burning vehicles. McCray attempted to scale the fence to leave, but the officer blocked his route.
McCray was forced to double back and then fled through an existing hole in the fence, court documents say.
AMERICAN, ISRAELI FLAGS BURNED OUTSIDE OF ISRAELI CONSULATE IN NEW YORK, 1 ARRESTED
“NYPD personnel discovered what appeared to be a cigar lighter torch and a pair of sunglasses in the portion of the lot where the defendant Jakhi McCray hopped the fence and made entry to the lot,” court documents say. “NYPD personnel also discovered that 22 retail fire starters consisting of 12 ‘jealous devil boom starters’ and 10 BBQ dragon egg fire starers were placed on 3 unburnt vehicles. These fire starters had not been left by NYPD personnel.”
Court documents say McCray’s wallet and identification card can be seen on surveillance video when he paid for water about a 14-minute walk away from the NYPD lot around 1:51 a.m. He was wearing similar attire – a gray hooded sweatshirt and a blue surgical mask – seen in body-camera footage when he was arrested previously on May 19, investigators said.
Federal prosecutors asked the judge to consider the strong weight of the evidence against McCray, as well as McCray’s criminal history, noting he was arrested for criminally reckless conduct in the recent past.
On May 28, McCray was arrested for obstructing government administration, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest in connection with a demonstration. In May 2024, McCray was similarly arrested for resisting arrest, obstructing government administration, attempted assault in the third degree and disorderly conduct in connection with another demonstration, federal prosecutors said.
The NYPD issued a press release on June 18 with photos of McCray to alert the public that he was wanted for arson. Instead of turning himself in, prosecutors said, McCray allegedly destroyed his cell phone in an effort to avoid arrest.
“Nearly five weeks after committing the offense, the defendant ultimately self-surrendered after his lawyer and law enforcement coordinated in arranging his self-surrender,” the detention request said.
While he remained on the lam, McCray skipped out on a June 18 court conference related to a separate case being prosecuted in Queens Criminal Court.

“The defendant’s failure to adhere to court scheduled conferences and his delay in surrendering clearly indicate that he is a flight risk,” federal prosecutors wrote.

King Charles faces mass exodus of gardening staff at Highgrove House estate: report

King Charles III allegedly can’t keep his gardeners around.
Eleven out of 12 gardeners have left the team tasked with working at Highgrove House since 2022, according to The Sunday Times. At least one staffer filed a complaint, claiming they were “under-resourced and constantly struggling to fulfill the King’s request.”
Members of the staff have “developed physical injuries trying to keep up, and that the team suffered from low morale,” the outlet reported.
When a staff member revealed “a lack of knowledge about a particular flower,” the king allegedly said: “Don’t put that man in front of me again.”

For the gardening team at Highgrove specifically, we regularly review guidance from the Professional Gardeners Guild for pay benchmarking.”
“Highgrove has also seen many positive developments since The King’s Foundation became the charitable custodian of the gardens.

Ex-Obama 'Pod Save America' aides give sarcastic response to Hunter Biden tirade

“Pod Save America” co-hosts and former Obama aides Tommy Vietor and Jon Favreau fired back at former President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden after he called them out in a new interview on Monday.
While speaking with YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan, Hunter Biden went on a scorched-earth tirade against Democratic figures for turning against his father on the one-year anniversary of him dropping out of the 2024 election.
The “Pod Save America” team was among those he derided as “junior f—ing speechwriters.”
JON STEWART, ‘POD SAVE AMERICA’ QUESTION BIDEN’S HEALTH IN WAKE OF ‘ORIGINAL SIN’ BOOK
“The ‘Pod Save America’ guys were junior f—ing speechwriters on Barack Obama’s Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars,” Hunter Biden said.
Later on, Vietor and Favreau gave sarcastic responses from their respective X accounts.
“There goes my bid on that painting,” Favreau wrote.
Vietor joked, “It’s good to see that Hunter has taken some time to process the election, look inward, and hold himself accountable for how his family’s insular, dare I say arrogant at times, approach to politics led to this catastrophic outcome we’re all now living with.”
Hunter Biden also attacked actor George Clooney, Democratic strategist James Carville, CNN commentator David Axelrod and CNN host Jake Tapper, while praising his father for giving “52 years of his f—ing life” to his political career.

The “Pod Save America” podcast has been critical of the former president since the aftermath of the 2024 election.
Just days after the election, Favreau called Biden’s original decision to run for a second term a “catastrophic mistake” brought on by the then-president and his staff’s hubris.
“Joe Biden’s decision to run for president again was a catastrophic mistake. It just was. He and his inner circle, they refused to believe the polls, they refused to believe he was unpopular, they refused to acknowledge until very late that anyone could be upset about inflation,” Favreau said.

DeSantis has message for Cuomo after former governor jokes he would move to Florida

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had a special request for New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo after the former Democratic governor joked that he would move to the Sunshine State if he loses to socialist Zohran Mamdani.
Cuomo’s joke appeared to raise alarms for many who took to social media to express their distaste for the idea. DeSantis, a Republican, was among those expressing concern in response to an article about Cuomo considering a change of scenery should he again be defeated by Mamdani.
“Don’t New York our Florida!” DeSantis posted on X.
DeSantis has predicted that property values in Palm Beach will “skyrocket” from New Yorkers moving if Democratic socialist nominee Mamdani wins the mayor’s race in New York City this November. Speaking shortly before the primary election in June, DeSantis said, “If this socialist mayor candidate wins in New York City, you’re going to see real estate values skyrocket in Palm Beach because people are going to get out of that city.”
DESANTIS TAPS FLORIDA’S ‘MOST CONSERVATIVE SENATOR’ FOR STATE CFO
Cuomo appeared to be joking on Saturday when he said he would move to Florida.
The former New York governor lost to Mamdani in the Democratic primary but is planning to challenge him as an independent in the general election. The line, delivered at a Hamptons breakfast with political insiders, sparked laughter but also highlighted growing unease over the city’s political direction.
“It’s all or nothing. We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid,” Cuomo said, according to attendees at the event.
The remark came during a private gathering hosted by businessman John Catsimatidis at 75 Main in Southampton. Catsimatidis, a GOP donor and radio host, is also the owner of the Gristedes and D’Agostino supermarket chains, which could be directly affected by Mamdani’s proposal to create government-run grocery stores.
POLL POSITION: MAMDANI’S THE FRONTRUNNER, BUT ISN’T RUNNING AWAY WITH NYC MAYORAL RACE JUST YET
The guest list included Ambassador George Tsunis and former top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa. One attendee described the line as a “wow” moment. Multiple guests said it got the room’s attention.
Cuomo’s senior adviser, Rich Azzopardi, defended the comment to the New York Post.
“Governor Cuomo would never give up on New York,” he said. “The line underscored the stakes in this election and the risk of electing a dangerously inexperienced, hate-spewing 33-year-old socialist to lead the city.”
DEM DISORDER: DNC SQUABBLES PLAY OUT IN NYC MAYORAL RACE FOR ALL TO SEE
The winner of the New York City Democratic primary for mayor is traditionally considered the overwhelming frontrunner in the general election.
A handful of polls conducted this month in New York City suggest that Mamdani is the frontrunner, but that he is far from running away with the race. The surveys indicate Mamdani ahead of Cuomo anywhere from around 15 points to as few as three points.
Trailing Mamdani and Cuomo in the surveys are Mayor Eric Adams, the embattled incumbent who announced earlier this year that he would seek re-election as an independent candidate, and Guardian Angels co-founder Curtis Sliwa, who for a second straight election is the Republican mayoral nominee.

American religious studies teacher survives horrific migrant attack while vacationing in Italy

A former high school track star and current San Francisco religion teacher was brutally attacked while vacationing in Italy earlier this month.
Nicholas Pellegrino, who teaches religious studies and Spanish at Archbishop Riordan High School, according to the school’s website, was attacked by three individuals on a train just south of Milan on July 15.
“I would look up, and they would look away, but then they’d continue to look back and eye me out,” Pellegrino recounted to the Staten Island Advance.
He said he suspected the men “were up to no good.” Pellegrino said he had his head down for just a moment when the men suddenly charged at him, stabbing him in the neck during the struggle and taking his luggage.

“He (the attacker) then ripped off the gold crucifix from my neck, and ran away with my luggage as the train doors opened,” he explained to the outlet.
Bleeding heavily, Pellegrino managed to reach the next platform and yelled out for help.
“I was left on the platform screaming for my life,” he recalled.
A photo posted on a GoFundMe page created to support his recovery shows him bloodied and receiving care from paramedics.

According to the fundraiser, Pellegrino was robbed and sustained a serious neck wound. The attackers, identified as North African migrants, allegedly took his luggage, passport, laptop and a gold cross he was wearing.
Pellegrino is currently recovering in an Italian hospital and remains in good spirits, according to his friend Finn McCole, who started the GoFundMe campaign.
“Nick is grateful to be alive and is relying on his faith,” McCole said. “Even though he wouldn’t ask for help himself, we’re raising funds to cover his medical bills and replace his stolen belongings.”

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that four suspects from Morocco and Tunisia were arrested several hours later at another train station about an hour from the crime scene. Authorities believe these same individuals may also be connected to a separate assault on a taxi driver and possibly another attempted robbery on a train.
After several days in the hospital, Pellegrino was released. Though his personal belongings were lost, he remains deeply thankful.

“My life from this day forward is a miracle,” he told the Staten Island Advance. “I’ve been saved by the right hand of the almighty Father.”
According to the Staten Island Advance, Pellegrino taught Italian and served as a track and field coach at Monsignor Farrell High School in the Oakwood section of Staten Island, New York, from 2017 to 2022.
He is also an alumnus of Farrell, where he was referred to as a “standout athlete on the track team.”
