A Texas DoorDash driver didn’t let the pain of being struck by a car keep her from delivering an order. A less dedicated driver may have seen the police chase headed their way, hopped back in their car, and canceled the order.

This heroic delivery driver did not. She was knocked onto the hood of the car driven by an alleged burglary suspect who refused to stop during an attempted traffic stop.

Understandably, she dropped the order. But only for a moment.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

While the suspect, identified by police as Torrance Whitaker, was fleeing from the car and making a run for it, the DoorDash driver slid off the hood and picked up the order which had landed in the street in front of the car.

She then proceeded to complete the delivery while officers gave chase to the man now jumping fences and running through the yards of the Houston neighborhood.

"I was on the phone with my husband, and I just hear somebody crash. So I'm like, wait a minute, I heard something from police. When he came out from my door, I think it was HPD parked on my mulch, like what happened here!," witness Lily Portillo, whose cameras caught the action, told KTRK.

"It's amazing how the girl just delivered the food. I asked her if she was OK, and she said she was OK. She needs a big tip. I really hope somebody finds her and hope she's OK."

After being chased through several yards, a Houston Police K-9 eventually catches up to him, and he's arrested.

The court documents, according to the outlet, state that Whitaker was charged with aggravated assault for hitting the delivery driver with his car while fleeing from police.

KTRK spoke with the DoorDash driver. She, like the hero that she is, didn’t want to be identified. She is in a lot of pain, but avoided breaking any bones. She's also looking into filing a claim against the suspect's insurance.

What a story of dedication. This order was being delivered if the delivery driver was physically able to do so.

There's very little hesitation. It's more of a moment to collect herself, then she's back to the business at hand. Truly impressive work.

An armed man was arrested Monday after driving to a security barricade outside the U.S. Capitol, prompting a police investigation into why he came to the heavily protected complex and temporarily shutting down part of the Capitol grounds.

U.S. Capitol Police said officers arrested the man at the North Barricade after discovering he had a firearm.

Firearms are prohibited on Capitol Grounds, and authorities immediately closed the area while investigators processed the scene.

"Our investigators are working to learn more about the suspect and why he drove to the U.S. Capitol ," Capitol Police said in a statement.

A controversial United Nations agency is being investigated by U.S. officials for alleged ties to terrorism. The U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the U.N. organization for Palestinian refugees, has more than 1,500 employees being probed for links to terrorism.

U.S. officials have increasingly called on U.N. member states to defund UNRWA after decades of concerns about its school materials promoting terror, the presence of Hamas tunnels beneath UNRWA schools and charges that staff members participated in the Hamas terrorist attacks of Oct. 7 against Israel.

US URGES DONORS TO ABANDON UNRWA FUNDING AS UN DEFENDS AGENCY'S MISSION

While the U.N. conducted its own UNRWA investigation in 2024 through the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) following claims that 19 UNRWA employees were part of the Oct. 7. attacks, OIOS found insufficient evidence to support the participation of 10 employees. For the remaining nine, UNRWA terminated their contracts.

As the USAID Office of the Inspector General, a law enforcement agency separate from USAID, continues to investigate 1,500 UNRWA employees, it recently announced that it had referred a total of 108 current or former UNRWA staff to the State Department for suspension or exclusion from working with organizations that receive U.S. funds. Those members were found to be involved in the Hamas invasion of southern Israel, or were members of terrorist groups.

A U.S. diplomatic official briefed by USAID OIG investigators confirmed to Fox News Digital that at least 1,500 current or former UNRWA employees are under investigation for ties to foreign terrorist organizations in Gaza.

A senior U.S. official who spoke with Fox News Digital said that the USAID OIG investigation "smartly picked up where the U.N. failed" by looking beyond Oct. 7 participation. The official said the USAID OIG investigation is "critical, as U.S. taxpayers should never fund the salaries of aid workers that are members of a foreign terrorist organization." 

The senior official told Fox News Digital, "USAID OIG’s investigation is helping prevent terrorists from criss-crossing across aid organizations that have received or are seeking U.S. or Board of Peace funding."

Hamas was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in 1997 by the State Department, and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group (SDGT) in 2001.

HAMAS SAYS IT WILL DISSOLVE GAZA GOVERNMENT, BUT ISRAEL WARNS GROUP STILL SEEKS HEZBOLLAH-STYLE CONTROL

In the press release describing its effort, the USAID OIG said that individuals referred for debarment included "UNRWA school principals, teachers, security personnel, attendants, psychosocial counselors and medical professionals."

They included two deputy school principals, one of whom served as a Hamas deputy company commander and another of whom was a squad leader. USAID OIG additionally referred a teacher with "expertise as a sniper for Hamas," and one who tracked explosive device assignments. Another referred individual was a school principal assigned to a Hamas military manufacturing unit. Under his school, there were "three anti-tank positions and a tunnel shaft."

In the case of Oct. 7 involvement, the USAID OIG specifically mentioned a teacher ordered "to bring two anti-tank missiles to a prescribed location during the Oct. 7 terror attacks," and a deputy school principal charged with communications.

TRUMP-BACKED BOARD OF PEACE, ISRAEL 'WILL TAKE ACTION' IF HAMAS REMAINS OUT OF COMPLIANCE: NETANYAHU ADVISOR

The USAID OIG stated that it expects to make further referrals to the State Department in addition to "potential criminal referrals to the Department of Justice."

As a result of its investigations, the State Department has banned Hafez Mousa Mohammed Mousa from any future work with U.S. government entities. An UNRWA school principal, Mousa was working with the Hamas East Jabaliya Battalion and "coordinated communications with other suspected Hamas members during the Oct. 7 attacks," the USAID OIG report explains.

In response to Fox News Digital’s questions about whether it will blacklist other identified UNRWA employees, a State Department spokesperson said that "it is no surprise that another 100 UNWRA employees were determined to be involved in the barbaric Oct. 7 attack. President Trump and Secretary Rubio have affirmed time and time again that no State Department funding will be provided to UNWRA, which has been totally infiltrated by Hamas and terrorist sympathizers."

On July 1, the Board of Peace posted on X that UNRWA "has no place in the new Gaza."

An official briefed on developments with the Board of Peace told Fox News Digital that the USAID OIG’s investigations are "quite concerning to us."

The official explained that "we can’t really have an institution operating inside of Gaza where they're purportedly delivering aid and services to two million people but also allegedly participating in and supporting terrorism. That is anathema to creating a safe and prosperous Gaza for Gazans." Moving forward without UNRWA will require being "responsible and deliberate in terms of how we transition those services over to ensure there are no gaps in critical aid delivery, whether it's health services, vaccinations, food, or other goods."

Last month, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) posted about the infiltration of UNRWA on X, saying, "It is time for the United States to take action to address this growing problem and the systemic radicalization in UNRWA facilities." Risch said he would work with the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. "to root out the terrorist links at the U.N."

The U.S. Representative for United Nations Management and Reform, Ambassador Jeff Bartos, told a U.N. meeting in June on UNRWA funding, that it was time "to break this cycle."

"This year, you have the choice to stop underwriting an organization that has become a subsidiary of Hamas, whose employees took part in one of the most barbaric terrorist attacks in human history on Oct. 7, 2023," Bartos said. "This year, you have the choice to give the Palestinian people living in Gaza the opportunity to find durable solutions and prosper, instead of subjecting them to endless cycles of dependency and forever refugeehood."

Hamas' theft of aid is continuing to cause harm in Gaza. While not calling out Hamas by name, on Sunday, the U.N. Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov released a statement strongly condemning the "obstruction of humanitarian operations in Gaza by the de facto authorities." He noted that the previous day, "armed personnel affiliated with the de facto authorities forcibly entered the Abu Rashid food distribution point in Jabalia," and additionally "entered a [World Food Programme] warehouse and reportedly assaulted two truck drivers who were delivering humanitarian supplies."

Alakbarov said the incidents "are not isolated" and "reflect an increasingly dangerous pattern of intimidation, violence and obstruction, including smuggling attempts, targeting and abusing humanitarian operations."

Fox News Digital reached out to UNRWA for comment.

There are plenty of videos from Yellowstone National Park involving tourists doing breathtakingly stupid things around wild animals.

This is not one of them.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK

A man was seriously injured Friday evening after an agitated bull bison chased him through a campground and launched him several feet into the air in one of the wildest human-animal encounters you will ever see.

The attack happened at Bridge Bay Campground, south of Fishing Bridge, and was captured on video by professional photographer Mike MacLeod.

The unidentified man was reportedly walking with his grandson when the bison targeted them from roughly 100 yards away — well beyond the 25-yard minimum distance Yellowstone requires visitors to maintain from bison.

And the video makes it clear this animal was already looking for trouble.

Before the man and his grandson entered the picture, the bull had reportedly charged a group of children who were taking photos from a safe distance. The kids scattered, and the bison eventually stopped to wallow in a patch of dirt.

That is when the man and his grandson came around the corner, unaware of everything that had just happened.

"They were just out for an evening walk, just happened to turn around the corner, and there’s a bison," MacLeod told Cowboy State Daily.

The pair initially stopped to take photos while the animal appeared to be resting. But when the bison started to stand, the grandfather recognized it was time to go, and the two moved behind a group of trees.

Then a white pickup truck drove past. For whatever reason, that apparently sent the bull right back over the edge.

"The bison was charging the truck," MacLeod said. "The guy in the truck saw that happening, and he just kept going. The bison (then went) to where these two were hiding in the trees."

The footage shows the enormous animal barrel into the trees as the man desperately tries to stay on the opposite side of the trunks. For a moment, the bison becomes distracted and takes its anger out on a small sapling.

But then it spots the man again.

The bull races after him, catches him with its horn and sends him flipping high into the air before he crashes onto his side.

"The bison hooked him with his left horn on his hip and tossed him in the air," MacLeod said. "He made a perfect flip and landed on his side. The bison was at least 6 feet tall, and (the victim) was several feet above him."

Even more terrifying, the bison does not immediately leave. Instead, it stands over the injured man, shaking its head while he remains on the ground.

MacLeod stopped recording and ran toward the animal, yelling and trying to draw its attention away from the victim. Several other witnesses followed his lead, and together they managed to scare the bison away.

"I was really afraid he was going to gore the guy on the ground, so I stopped videotaping and ran at the bison, yelled loud, and was trying to be as big and intimidating as possible," MacLeod said.

Yellowstone EMS soon arrived and took over.

TWO HIKERS CAPTURE TERRIFYING VIDEO OF CHARGING GRIZZLY BEARS AT GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

MacLeod said he later spoke with the man’s grandson, who told him his grandfather "has some pretty significant injuries and is not out of the woods yet."

The National Park Service had not released an official statement or an update on the man’s condition as of Sunday morning.

Again, this does not appear to be a case of someone walking up to a bison for a selfie, trying to pet it or otherwise ignoring every wildlife warning posted throughout Yellowstone.

MacLeod said people in the campground were keeping their distance and actively warning others as the agitated animal moved through the area.

"I didn't see anybody getting close," he said. "People were yelling, ‘Careful, there’s a bison coming through,’ and they kept their distance. They were very respectful."

MacLeod added: "You can tell he was agitated, pissed off, and charging anything and everything."

Bull bison can become especially aggressive during the annual rut, or mating season, which usually begins around late July. The animals may wallow, bellow, challenge rivals and become much less tolerant of anything they perceive as a threat.

The attack was Yellowstone’s second reported human-bison incident of 2026. A 12-year-old visitor was injured June 26 near Mud Volcano, north of Fishing Bridge. The National Park Service did not disclose the extent of that child’s injuries.

MacLeod has spent plenty of time around bison, but he said even he had never seen behavior quite like this.

"I’ve been around bison for a while, but this was really weird," he said. "Why did it pick those two? There were so many people around, and most of them were closer to and behind the bison. It was really weird."

Sometimes there is an obvious lesson after one of these encounters: Respect wild animals, follow the rules and do not risk your life for a photograph.

This time, the man and his grandson appear to have done all of that.

They were simply in the wrong place at the exact moment a 2,000-pound animal decided to go ballistic.

One week after their wedding at Madison Square Garden, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made their first public appearance.

On Friday, Swift and Kelce were seen at the wedding of Kelce's former teammate, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Laura Kruk in photos obtained by TMZ.

The pop superstar wore a strapless floor-length gown with floral brocade designs, along with her trademark red lip. Kelce wore a classic suit and tie.

During the ceremony, the newlyweds were spotted sitting next to Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.

While this is the first time Swift and Kelce have been seen after their star-studded wedding, details about their nuptials have been leaking in the days after the event.

In a since-deleted post viewed by Fox News Digital, AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron wrote extensively about the wedding, saying, "It did not look like Madison Square Garden."

TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS KELCE'S WEDDING: LEAKED DETAILS REVEAL INSIDE LOOK AS PHOTOS CAPTURE A-LIST DEPARTURES

"Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white," he wrote. "Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display."

He explained that "a small portion of MSG was cordoned off, devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space," and "somehow magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed fifteen rows of maybe 75 or so chairs.

"They say there were around one thousand attendees, but surprisingly, it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close."

Aron recounted that "relaxing and mellow romantic songs" were played before the ceremony began, when "a few violins and cello ushered in the wedding party."

According to the CEO, Kelce wore a white tux, while Swift wore "a stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train."

He didn't name the couple's officiant, Adam Sandler, but he did say that he "talked and sang" and that he was "warm and welcoming, funny and eloquent."

"Then the vows," he continued. "Long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together."

He also said Swift and Kelce's "profound love" for each other was clear throughout the ceremony. He called their first kiss a "sweep you off your feet kiss."

The reception afterward, Aron claimed, also had the garden theme with "superb food and drink" and "music, music, music."

"I wish you all could have been there with me, to witness real, pure, true joy," he told his followers.

According to her rep, both Swift and Kelce wore looks created by Christian Dior Haute Couture "in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom." The shoes they wore were custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and Swift wore jewelry from Cartier.

It was also shared that they didn't have a traditional wedding party made of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Instead, Swift's brother, Austin, was her "Man of Honor," while Kelce's own brother, Jason, acted as his best man.

Jason and his wife Kylie's four daughters reportedly acted as the couple's flower girls, and  at the American Century Championship golf tournament in Lake Tahoe on Thursday, Kylie said the wedding was "incredible."

"I feel happy and elated… I feel joy," the head of the local teachers' union tells the BBC.

EXCLUSIVE: The Interior and Commerce Departments are scrapping a sweeping Endangered Species Act (ESA) rule that officials say past administrations "weaponized" to block energy production, logging, infrastructure projects and private citizens' land use.

Officials pointed to several ESA-listed species they say triggered undue or burdensome restrictions by treating habitat modification as potential "harm" to protected species, purportedly expanding the ESA's "harm" provision.

"For years, federal agencies abused the ESA to obstruct lawful land use and burden American families and businesses," Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News Digital.

"That approach turned routine activity into a regulatory trap, drove up costs that impacted people’s lives, and expanded federal authority beyond what Congress intended."

BIDEN-ERA ENVIRO RULE ACCUSED OF STRANGLING TRUCKERS, SQUEEZING AMERICANS LANDS ON TRUMP CHOPPING BLOCK

On Friday, the Interior and Commerce Departments announced they are rescinding the 'outdated' regulatory definition of 'harm' and returning the Endangered Species Act's interpretation to its original intent to end years of federal overreach.

The administration is relying in part on the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo, which overturned "Chevron deference" and held that courts must use independent judgment when interpreting federal statutes rather than deferring to an agency’s preferred reading of ambiguous law.

The rule change therefore aims to align regulations with the "single best" meaning of a statute rather than letting it be "contort[ed] to fit a political agenda," officials said.

LEGAL WAR ON TRUMP’S AGENDA GAINS FIREPOWER AS FEDERAL LAWYERS DEFECT TO DEMOCRATS

Officials pointed to the dunes sagebrush lizard, which the Biden administration listed as endangered in 2024, as an example of what they view as speculative habitat-based restrictions.

Officials argued the change led to unnecessary restrictions on energy projects in Texas’ lucrative Permian Basin, most recently depicted in the acclaimed Billy Bob Thornton series "Landman."

Under Section 9 of the ESA, it is unlawful to "take" endangered wildlife, a term Congress defined to include actions such as harming, harassing, wounding or killing protected species.

TRUMP’S ENERGY INITIATIVES MAY FINALLY EXTRACT AMERICA FROM MIDEAST CHAOS

Federal materials tied the species’ decline to surface-disturbing activities, including energy development and sand mining, which officials and industry representatives say can trigger costly permitting and compliance burdens.

Officials also cited the lesser prairie-chicken, a grassland bird whose federal protections have drawn opposition from farmers, ranchers and energy developers across New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.

The fight over habitat-based "harm" dates back decades, including the northern spotted owl, whose 1990 ESA listing fueled a long-running battle over timber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest and was blamed for job losses.

A 2021 study in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management estimated the owl’s ESA listing reduced timber employment by roughly 16,000 to 32,000 jobs in the Pacific Northwest and northern California.

Timber interests and landowners challenged the federal definition, arguing that "harm" should cover direct injury to wildlife, not habitat modification that indirectly affects a species.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Clinton Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt in 1995, upholding a definition of "harm" that included significant habitat modification when it actually kills or injures protected wildlife.

Officials say the change is designed to narrow the regulation after Loper Bright and prevent agencies from using habitat-based theories to block lawful activity far beyond what Congress authorized.

The agencies argued the previously broadened definition of "harm" became an unlawful intrusion on private property rights.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick added that fishermen in particular have been burdened by the regulation for "too long."

Returning the ESA to its original purpose protects both the environment and economic development, Lutnick said.

"This administration is committed to protecting wildlife using Gold Standard Science, the law and the tools Congress actually gave us," added U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Brian Nesvik. "We can protect species and respect communities at the same time."

Administration officials stressed that core ESA protections remain in place, including prohibitions on directly injuring or killing protected wildlife.

The administration said the change is intended to reduce permitting and compliance costs while providing greater legal clarity for landowners, energy producers and developers, advancing President Donald Trump's vision of domestic energy dominance and a regulatory state that works for, not against, the average American.
