On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Javed Ali drove past the Pentagon on his way to work in northern Virginia.

Roughly half an hour later, American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the building.

From his office in Falls Church, Ali could see smoke rising from the Pentagon. A year later, in a turn that captured how dramatically the country had changed, he was walking into the still-damaged building himself — now working in the Defense Intelligence Agency's counterterrorism office.

TRUMP CONFIRMS PENTAGON PLANS FOR 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 ATTACKS, DISPUTES REPORT ON GROUND ZERO ABSENCE

"It was a very eerie and odd and surreal moment in my career," Ali told Fox News Digital.

Ali's career would eventually take him from the DIA to the newly created Department of Homeland Security and later the FBI, giving him a front-row seat to the enormous national security architecture America constructed after the deadliest foreign attack on U.S. soil.

Twenty-five years later, that architecture presents something of a paradox.

By one of its clearest measures, the post-9/11 system appears to have made another attack on the scale of 9/11 far harder. The United States has not suffered another terrorist attack remotely approaching the scale and complexity of 9/11, which killed 2,977 people. U.S. intelligence and military operations dismantled much of the al Qaeda network that planned it, while new agencies, surveillance authorities, watchlists and intelligence-sharing systems were designed to ensure that another group could not exploit the same seams in American defenses. The 2026 U.S. intelligence community assessment said counterterrorism operations have degraded al Qaeda and ISIS's ability to quickly rebuild their leadership and plan large-scale attacks against the U.S. homeland.

But success against the threat of 2001 did not eliminate terrorism. It helped change it.

AMERICAN YOUTH RADICALIZED ONLINE, BUSTED IN SUSPECTED TERROR PLOTS AFTER HATING COUNTRY ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Today's most difficult threats increasingly involve individuals radicalized online, small cells with little warning signature, foreign terrorist organizations seeking to inspire attacks from afar, and an expanding layer of cyber and state-sponsored threats capable of reaching deep inside the United States without hijacking an airplane.

The question 25 years after 9/11, therefore, is not simply whether Americans are safer.

They are safer from one kind of attack — while increasingly exposed to others.

AN AI CYBERATTACK COULD TURN OFF AMERICA'S LIGHTS BEFORE WASHINGTON EVEN UNDERSTANDS WHY

The scale of the American response was extraordinary.

Just over two months after the attacks, President George W. Bush signed legislation creating the Transportation Security Administration. TSA says its creation amounted to the largest civilian undertaking in U.S. government history at the time, with the federal government rapidly assuming responsibility for airport passenger and baggage screening.

The following year, Congress created the Department of Homeland Security, combining all or part of 22 federal agencies and offices. DHS began operating in March 2003 and today employs more than 260,000 people across missions ranging from border and aviation security to cybersecurity, intelligence and emergency response.

The changes went far beyond new agencies.

The 9/11 Commission found that the pre-attack breakdown was deeper than the familiar failure to "connect the dots." Responsibility had been scattered across agencies, information was not consistently shared, and no single entity was empowered to integrate intelligence and drive joint action across the foreign-domestic divide. The commission concluded that "responsibility and accountability were diffuse."

Washington spent the next two decades trying to close those gaps.

Brown University's Costs of War project estimates that post-9/11 wars and related obligations have cost roughly $8 trillion. It estimates that more than $1.1 trillion has been spent on homeland security efforts to prevent and counterterrorism inside the United States since DHS was created.

Ali said it can be easy, with 25 years of hindsight, to forget how persistent the original threat remained.

Even after the United States invaded Afghanistan, killed or captured senior al Qaeda figures and put the organization under extraordinary pressure, the group continued attempting to find ways back into the homeland.

During Ali's years at DHS, he said officials repeatedly confronted plots involving al Qaeda and its affiliates, including a 2006 plot originating in Britain to bomb transatlantic airliners traveling to North America.

The threat then evolved again.

Usama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in May 2011. But rather than marking the end of the era of jihadist terrorism, the following years produced a new and in some ways more difficult challenge.

ISIS grew out of al Qaeda in Iraq, expanded rapidly amid the wars in Iraq and Syria and declared a self-described caliphate in June 2014. At its height, the group controlled vast territory and millions of people in Iraq and Syria while encouraging or directing attacks far beyond its borders. The State Department reported that ISIS had emerged from al Qaeda in Iraq and expanded dramatically during 2013 and 2014.

For U.S. counterterrorism officials, Ali said, the center of gravity increasingly shifted from identifying trained operatives sent by an organized group to finding individuals who might be radicalizing inside Western countries.

Then came another shift: attacks by lone offenders across different ideologies, often with no direct operational relationship to an organization overseas.

"Mostly lone actors, lone offenders, not tied to groups overseas, not traveling overseas, and not being directed by people overseas," said Ali, now an associate professor of practice at the University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy.

DHS CHIEF ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO ITS SEAL TO REFLECT THAT DEPARTMENT IS 'AT WAR EVERY SINGLE DAY'

The transformation is now reflected in the government's own threat assessments.

The 2026 Annual Threat Assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said setbacks to the ability of Islamist terrorist groups to conduct "large-scale complex attacks" have pushed them toward information operations and propaganda designed to inspire or enable people in or with access to Western countries.

The assessment said there were at least three Islamist terrorist attacks in the United States in 2025 and that law enforcement disrupted at least 15 U.S.-based Islamist terrorist plotters that year. Roughly half of those disrupted plotters had some online contact with Islamist terrorists or were inspired by foreign terrorist organizations, according to the assessment.

The vulnerability was demonstrated on New Year's Day 2025, when Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas, drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 14 people. The FBI described the attack as an act of terrorism and said Jabbar had become increasingly isolated before adopting extremist views.

In the days after that attack, the FBI said lone actors and small cells who radicalize online had posed the greatest terrorism threat to the homeland in recent years precisely because they can be so difficult to detect and disrupt.

That presents almost the inverse of the 9/11 problem.

The 9/11 plot required 19 hijackers, overseas leadership, financing, international travel, flight training and years of planning. The challenge for investigators was collecting pieces of information held across different agencies and assembling them quickly enough.

A lone actor may offer far fewer pieces to collect in the first place.

Ali said many recent attackers or alleged plotters had not previously come onto the radar of the FBI or local law enforcement, leaving authorities with the extraordinarily difficult task of identifying people who may not commit an obvious crime until they move toward violence.

"So yes, we are safer from a certain type of threat," Ali said, "but again, we are not immune from terrorism, and other types of threats are much more difficult to identify or stop."

KASH PATEL REVEALS THE CHILLING HOLIDAY TERROR PLOTS FBI FEDERAL AGENTS QUIETLY STOPPED

That changing threat has also fueled a broader debate over whether the institutions created after 9/11 became too large, too expensive or too focused on the dangers of the previous era.

Morgan Murphy, who served as press secretary to the secretary of Defense during the first Trump administration and later worked in the Trump White House, argues that Washington built too much bureaucracy around the 9/11 threat while other vulnerabilities grew.

"TSA agents still pat down grandma and gum up travel while Beijing wires our living rooms with cheap TVs and selfie sticks through the supply chain handed to them by Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden," Murphy said. "We spent two decades frisking American passengers while our adversaries plugged themselves into our homes and businesses."

"The genius of America after Pearl Harbor was that we built to fight. After 9/11, we built to process," Murphy told Fox News Digital, "Real security means sovereignty at home and lethality abroad — a sealed border, an untangled supply chain, and enemies who fear us."

Theo Wold, who served as acting assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy and as deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy during the first Trump administration, offered a similar critique, arguing that post-9/11 Washington relied too heavily on large bureaucracies, expansive government authorities and wars in the Middle East.

"George W. Bush and the D.C. governing elite responded to 9/11 the way their politics demanded: create large, unwieldy bureaucracy, push for special legal authorities with limited oversight and activate ground wars in the Middle East," Wold told Fox News Digital.

"Those wars didn’t make us safer, the legal authorities were wielded against Americans, and the bureaucracy is full of waste and has proven nearly unworkable," he said.

Wold argued that the lesson from the past quarter-century should be a more narrowly targeted national-security model.

"Now we know better. Americans are safest when we are nimble and focus ruthlessly on targeting real enemies," he said.

 The challenge now extends beyond terrorism.

The 2026 intelligence assessment warns that China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and non-state ransomware groups continue seeking access to U.S. government networks and private critical infrastructure for espionage, financial gain and possible future disruption. It also warns that artificial intelligence is accelerating cyber capabilities and that several state adversaries are developing missile systems capable of threatening the homeland.

The security landscape that began with al Qaeda operatives training to fly passenger jets has therefore expanded into something far less geographically defined: terrorist propaganda transmitted to an individual's phone, malicious code inserted into a computer network, attacks on critical infrastructure and state adversaries capable of reaching Americans from thousands of miles away.

For Ali, however, the evolution of the threat should not lead Washington to conclude that the original threat has vanished.

One of the central lessons of the years before Sept. 11, he said, was that emerging terrorist organizations have to be confronted before they have the time and space to develop operational capability.

"When these terrorist threats start to emerge, whether it's overseas or here, you have to put pressure on them before they gather momentum to carry out operations," Ali said.

The danger, he argued, would be allowing counterterrorism to fall so far down Washington's list of priorities that the country begins recreating the complacency that existed before 9/11.

"Terrorism as a tactic is probably never going to be defeated," Ali said.

Twenty-five years after he watched smoke rise from the Pentagon, Ali's answer to whether America is safer reflects the contradiction at the heart of the post-9/11 era.

The United States built a massive system to prevent the next 9/11.

It appears to have made another 9/11 far harder to execute.

The harder question now is whether that system can recognize the attack that doesn't look anything like it.

It has been only a couple of days since our last baseball game, and with football back, there will be a little less attention paid to the diamond. However, we shouldn't completely turn our back on Major League Baseball.

They are entering the last couple of weeks of games, and the Wild Card race is in full swing. With the playoffs on the horizon, let's get a bit of money in our pockets prior to their arrival. We have a good game between the Rangers and Mariners this afternoon.

The Texas Rangers are 72-74 and currently sit in second place in the American League West. This is most likely their best path to the postseason. There is still a chance they could capture a Wild Card spot. The Rangers are 1.5 games back of the final spot in that race as well, but they would need to get past the Guardians and the Blue Jays in order to advance. The Orioles are also hot on the Rangers' heels. Winning as much as possible is key over the final 16 games of their season.

Looking to steal this series and advance their standing a bit today is Jacob deGrom. When the Rangers got him on their roster, this is specifically the type of game they wanted him for. Although deGrom isn't quite the elite starter that he was years ago, he is still very good. For the season, deGrom is 10-9 with a 3.96 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. This isn't a guy you'd expect to see with significantly different splits, but he has them. On the road, he has a 5.86 ERA, compared to just 2.46 at home. He has been awesome against the Mariners this season, with three starts covering 14 innings and two earned runs.

The Seattle Mariners will go down as one of the more disappointing teams in baseball. Expectations were extremely high for this team after having made it to the American League Championship Series. The team is loaded in the rotation; they made moves to address issues in the offseason, and the lineup, on paper, is one of the deepest in baseball. Sometimes things don't work out, and that appears to be the case for Seattle this season. They are 10 games under coming into today and are six games behind the Astros and 5.5 games out of the last Wild Card spot.

In order to try to keep their slim hopes alive today is Logan Gilbert. I've discussed Gilbert's numbers previously, but as a reminder, Gilbert is 11-9 with a 3.71 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. His biggest downfall this season has been his performance at home this year. He has allowed 23 of his 26 homers in Seattle and has a 4.45 ERA in his home park. He has faced the Rangers three times this season and has allowed seven earned runs over 17 innings this year.

The total in this game is far too low. The books have it hung at 6.5 which is in line with pitchers of this caliber facing off. However, these pitchers are not pitching well in these situations. Gilbert has struggled at home, and deGrom has looked bad on the road this season. They have better numbers against their opposition, but I think we should see at least seven runs in this game. Give me the over 6.5. I am also taking the Rangers on the moneyline. I think they are the better team and I like deGrom's work against Seattle this season.

Since the attacks, New York officials are working with new, complex technology to find traces of more than 1,000 victims.

The legacy of the NYPD officers who ran toward danger on Sept. 11, 2001, continues to shape the department a quarter-century later, Chief of Department Michael LiPetri said during a ceremony dedicating a memorial wall to members who died in the attacks and their aftermath.

"None of us gets here alone," LiPetri said. "Whatever rank we reach, whatever command we lead, we are standing on the foundations other people built."

"We inherit their lessons, their example, and eventually it becomes our responsibility to pass those things forward," he added.

FOX NEWS MEDIA ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE 9/11 ANNIVERSARY COVERAGE FROM GROUND ZERO, PENTAGON AND SHANKSVILLE

The NYPD has lost more than 469 members to illnesses connected to their service after the attacks, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. More than 1,700 members have retired from the department with World Trade Center-related disabilities, LiPetri added.

"We are still losing members to illnesses caused by their service after the attacks," LiPetri said. "All these years later, we are still standing with families as they bury loved ones whose lives were forever changed by the work they did after Sept. 11."

9/11 VICTIM'S IDENTITY EMERGES NEARLY 25 YEARS LATER AFTER DNA BREAKTHROUGH CRACKS MYSTERY

The memorial wall at One Police Plaza honors the 23 NYPD officers killed at the World Trade Center that morning, along with members who later died from illnesses linked to their rescue and recovery efforts.

"Sept. 11 did not end on Sept. 11," NYPD Chief Chaplain Rev. A.R. Bernard said during the invocation. "For many, the costs continued for years, illness endured, families impacted and lives ultimately lost."

FRANK SILLER: 'I LOVE YOU, BROTHER' -- THE 9/11 LOSS THAT INSPIRED A MISSION OF SERVICE

Mayor Zohran Mamdani recalled the story of Officer John William Perry, who was at One Police Plaza preparing to resign and begin a career as an attorney when the first plane struck the North Tower. Perry asked for his shield back and rushed to the World Trade Center.

"There he was confronted with unimaginable suffering, but he did not stop with the same immense bravery and courage that was commonplace among so many that day, the kind that has long defined this department," Mamdani said.

"Officer Perry ran into the fire. The last time he was seen he was helping a woman out of the South Tower before rushing back in to save as many others as he could. Officer Perry and 22 of his fellow officers, each with their own stories, were killed that morning. That includes 14 members of the emergency service unit, who were among the first to enter the towers."

TRUMP POSTHUMOUSLY AWARDS MEDAL OF FREEDOM TO 9/11'S 'MAN IN RED BANDANA'

Mamdani noted that the sons of officers Ronnie Klopfer and Joseph Viviano "now carry on his legacy of bravery as valued members of this very department."

"Every officer present that day embodied the NYPD’s creed that the duty to protect is not a job that one clocks out of, but a calling," Mamdani said. "One answers until the very end.

"In the days and months that followed Sept. 11, thousands of NYPD officers and staff from across every precinct and every borough heeded that same call. They took on that same heavy and incalculable risk."

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: 9/11 IS JUST A HISTORY CHAPTER FOR A NEW GENERATION OF AMERICANS

Their sons play on the same lacrosse team Klopfer founded before the attacks.

"Their fathers are gone, but the team that Ron built is still here," LiPetri said. "Their sons are wearing an NYPD uniform, and a connection that began years before Sept. 11 continues inside the department."

Tisch said thousands of current NYPD officers were children on 9/11, while many others had not yet been born. She said preserving the memories of those who served is becoming increasingly important as the generation that responded to the attacks retires.

"The faces in this building will be different, but these names will still be here," Tisch said. "The example of the men and women behind them will continue to shape the department."

"Republicans buy sneakers, too."

Those famous words came from Michael Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time. He was also the athlete most responsible for transforming Nike from a shoe company into a global sports empire.

Jordan made the comment during the 1990 U.S. Senate race in North Carolina, after his mother urged him to support Democratic candidate Harvey Gantt and record a public-service announcement. Jordan confirmed in ESPN’s "The Last Dance" that he made the remark jokingly on a team bus.

Maybe so. But the line endured because it captured a basic business lesson in four words. Republicans buy shoes. Democrats buy shoes. Most companies benefit when both groups want to buy theirs.

Nike stopped listening.

FROM COLIN KAEPERNICK TO DYLAN MULVANEY, NIKE'S DECADE OF LEFT-WING ACTIVISM HAS FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO IT

After spending much of the past decade injecting left-wing politics into its brand, Nike is now set to be removed from the S&P 100, ending a run of nearly 18 years in the blue-chip index. S&P Dow Jones Indices announced the move Friday, and Nike will come out before trading begins Sept. 21.

S&P isn’t kicking Nike out because the index committee hated the Kaepernick ad or saw Dylan Mulvaney in a sports bra. Nike is getting kicked out because its value collapsed.

The politics didn’t wipe out $200 billion by itself. But Nike volunteered to alienate customers while it was already losing ground everywhere else.

The sports apparel giant reached a market value of approximately $281 billion near its November 2021 peak. Nike shares closed Tuesday at $38.10, giving the company a market capitalization of roughly $56.5 billion. The stock was about 79% below its Nov. 5, 2021 intraday record of $179.10, and more than $220 billion in market value had disappeared.

Getting removed from the S&P 100 won’t put Nike out of business. It will still sell billions of dollars in shoes and sign some of the biggest athletes in the world.

But Nike used to look untouchable. Now it’s worth about one-fifth of what it was five years ago and no longer has a spot in one of America’s premier blue-chip indexes.

China is where this story gets really good.

Nike made Colin Kaepernick the face of its 30th-anniversary "Just Do It" campaign after he refused to stand for the national anthem, saying he wouldn’t show pride in a country that "oppresses Black people and people of color."

Nike apparently thought that was a message worth putting on billboards across America.

Contrast that with how the company publicly talked about China.

In 2021, Nike faced backlash from Chinese consumers after the company expressed concern about reports of forced labor involving Uyghurs in Xinjiang. During an earnings call a few months later, then-CEO John Donahoe made Nike’s priorities clear.

"We’re a brand of China and for China," Donahoe said.

Quite a difference, isn’t it? Nike had plenty to say about oppression when the target was the United States. But when the company’s business in an actual communist country came under pressure, its CEO reminded everyone that Nike had been investing there for more than 40 years, operated thousands of stores and remained committed to the Chinese market.

Nike was perfectly willing to embrace anti-American messaging at home while continuing to grow in China by assuring Chinese consumers that the company was "of China and for China."

It didn’t work.

MARY CAIN'S BOOK AND NIKE'S TRANS-ATHLETE STUDY REVEAL THE SAME PATTERN OF CORPORATE HYPOCRISY

When Donahoe made that declaration in 2021, Nike generated $8.29 billion in Greater China. Five years later, that number is down to $5.85 billion. Nearly 30% of the business disappeared, including an 11% drop in the past year.

So much for being "of China and for China."

In 2019, Nike pulled a Fourth of July-themed Air Max sneaker featuring the Betsy Ross flag because it said the design could "unintentionally offend." A year later, the company launched its "For Once, Don’t Do It" racial-justice campaign and publicly embraced Black Lives Matter messaging.

Then Nike partnered with Dylan Mulvaney in 2023 for a paid promotion of women’s leggings and sports bras. Also, OutKick reported that researchers and a Boston Children’s Hospital publication had described Nike as supporting a proposed study involving transgender youth athletes. A Nike executive, speaking to OutKick on background, later said the study "was never initialized" and was "not moving forward," while researcher Joanna Harper subsequently said Nike had pulled out after critics learned of it.

Nike made left-wing politics part of its identity and repeatedly dared customers to object.

Now Nike is leaving the S&P 100, its stock is down nearly 80% from its peak and its executives are trying to rebuild the product innovation and marketplace relationships that once made the company dominant.

Michael Jordan understood that Republicans buy sneakers, too.

He also understood something Nike forgot: They don’t have to buy yours.
