Katie Couric claims Trump’s team may want to ‘f— with our elections’ ahead of midterms

Published

Journalist Katie Couric suggested President Donald Trump wants to “f— with our elections” based on his recent executive orders on creating a nationwide voter list.

“Well, you know, obviously there are a lot of people who are concerned about all these actions that are kind of happening sporadically, but when you put them together as a whole, they seem to indicate a real effort to, excuse my French, but f— with our elections,” Couric remarked on her “Breaking News” show before laughing. “And I can say that on Substack, not on network news.”

She asked Brennan Center director Sean Morales-Doyle why Trump’s order to compile a nationwide list of eligible voters and restrict mail-in voting could “raise a red flag.”

“I’ll start with the primary reason, which is that the president doesn’t get to write the rules that govern our elections, period,” Morales-Doyle said. “It’s just not his job. The Constitution gives that authority to the states and to Congress, not to the president. And this is the second time he’s tried to do this, to issue an executive order rewriting the rules that govern our elections.”

He added that the “implicit” purpose of the executive order is to pressure election workers.

“What’s implied there is that if you, election officials, let anyone vote who’s not on our national citizens list, then we’re coming for you and you can worry about being criminally prosecuted,” Morales-Doyle said.

“And so it’s multifaceted. It’s really also designed to intimidate and scare election workers,” Couric responded.

In a comment to Fox News Digital, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “Only Democrat politicians and operatives would be upset about lawful efforts to secure American elections and ensure only eligible American citizens are casting ballots. President Trump campaigned on securing our elections and the American people sent him back to the White House to get the job done.”

Trump’s order directs the Department of Homeland Security to work with the Social Security Administration and other federal databases to create lists of eligible voters using federal citizenship and identity data. It also instructs the U.S. Postal Service to develop new safeguards for mail-in ballots against non-citizens.

Several media figures have claimed since Trump’s second term began that the president will attempt to “rig” the 2026 midterm elections, with some going as far as to suggest he may cancel the elections altogether.

Shortly after Trump signed the executive order on Tuesday, Arizona, California and Oregon pledged to sue the administration. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been among the Democratic officials who have pushed the idea that Trump may rig the midterm elections and cancel the 2028 presidential election.

Arkansas school director sentenced for being ‘ringleader’ of child fight club

Published

An Arkansas school director  was sentenced to 30 days in jail, 120 days of house arrest with electronic monitoring and nine years of probation after prosecutors accused her of being the “ringleader” of a makeshift child fight club.

Mary Tracy Morrison, 51, the owner and director of The Delta Institute for the Developing Brain and the Engage program in Jonesboro, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of permitting child abuse and four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, according to KAIT.

The judge also prohibited her from working with children in any professional capacity and ruled she must surrender her occupational therapy license and any other related licenses, complete a mental health assessment and follow all recommended treatments.

Morrison was arrested in April 2025 after a mother told the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office that her teenage son reported being mentally and physically abused while he was at the school.

Video footage that deputies obtained through a search warrant revealed Morrison had “instructed the child to sit on the floor while being surrounded on the outside of a circle by 18 other juvenile students and Dr. Morrison,” according to a probable cause affidavit, KAIT reported.

The affidavit said that Morrison told the other students to put their hands on the child in the center and hit the child with an “unknown object.”

As Morrison verbally berated the child, another student was seen kicking and choking the child.

After the alleged incident, Morrison was observed “giving the juvenile a high five, displaying her pleasure with the student’s actions,” according to the affidavit.

The incident lasted 30 minutes and featured a teacher directing a student to strike a classmate “in the private area,” deputies said.

Following the incident, Morrison “instructed the victim to apologize to all other students” and told the students to never discuss what had happened again, the document stated.

Three other school employees — Michael Bean, 38, Kristin Bell, 36, and Kathrine Lipscomb, 45, were also arrested in connection with the abuse.

Fox News Digital could not immediately reach The Delta Institute for the Developing Brain or the Engage program for comment because no public or operational email address was listed for either organization.

The plant was operated by Liuyang Huasheng Fireworks Manufacturing and Display Co. in Liuyang, which is under the jurisdiction of Hunan’s capital, Changsha. Liuyang is home to a hub for fireworks manufacturing, state media China Daily reported.

Aerial footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed white smoke still billowing on Tuesday in parts of the area, with facilities collapsed or damaged and debris scattered around.

Nearly 500 firefighters, rescuers and medical personnel responded to the scene, according to the South China Morning Post. People in danger zones were evacuated because of what authorities described as high risks posed by two black powder warehouses at the site.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for “all-out efforts” to save injured victims and to search for people who remain unaccounted for, Xinhua reported. He called on authorities to probe the cause and pursue serious accountability. Xi also ordered effective risk screening and hazard control in key industries and the strengthening of public safety management.

Xi often issues “important instructions” to local officials after deadly accidents and disasters, according to reports.

Authorities launched an investigation into the cause of the blast, and unspecified “control measures” were taken against those in charge of the company.

In an effort to avoid additional accidents during the search for survivors, rescuers adopted measures such as spraying and humidification to eliminate potential hazards. Robots were also used to assist with the search and rescue operation.
