Fox News host Steve Doocy to move to Florida as he takes on a new role at the network
Longtime co-host Steve Doocy announced this week he is stepping away from the 'Fox & Friends' morning show and relocating to Florida full time. The 68-year-old was clear he's not retiring, but after decades of waking up at 3:30 a.m. to drive into New York City from New Jersey, he's ready for a later start time.
According to Megan Albano, Fox News Media's executive vice president of morning programming and program development, Doocy will be traveling cities across the country where he will co-host from "diners to pickleball courts and more."
'I am not retiring. I'm not leaving the show. I'm still a host, but it's time for a change," Doocy said May 1 on 'Fox & Friends.'
Doocy and his wife bought a home in the tony beachside community of Jupiter Inlet Colony in 2014 for $1.01 million. The nearly 2,600-square-foot home with four bedrooms and a pool was quitclaim-deeded to a land trust in 2020 for $10, but it remains homesteaded in Doocy's wife's name, according to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser.
In Florida, having a homestead exemption on a home means you consider it your primary residence. A quitclaim deed is often used for nonsale transactions such as adding a spouse on a title or transferring property within the family or to a trust.
Jupiter Inlet Colony is about 17 miles north of West Palm Beach. It was incorporated in 1959 and had a population of 425 in 2023
Doocy follows fellow Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Bret Baier to Florida. Both Hannity and Baier have homes in Palm Beach. Hannity also owns a home in Manalapan.
Baier hosts Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier" and is the network's chief political anchor. Baier and his wife, Amy, bought their home in 6,700-square-foot home in 2023 for $37 million.
Hannity, who hosts "The Sean Hannity Show," owns an oceanfront townhome in Palm Beach and is believed to have used an ownership company in 2024 to buy an ocean-to-lake estate in Manalapan for $23.5 million.
Doocy's move to Florida will put him closer to President Donald Trump's residence and private club Mar-a-Lago. High-profile Trump fan Kid Rock also owns a home in Jupiter Inlet Colony.
'I'll be going from the Carolinas to the Keys. From Middle America to Mar-a-Lago. Call me the coast-to-coast host," Doocy said. 'You may never see me in a necktie again.'
The home in Jupiter Inlet Colony was built in 1981 and is a ranch-style cinderblock house with a two-car garage — modest compared to the homes of Baier and Hannity. The home isn't waterfront, but is sandwiched between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.
The online real estate brokerage Redfin estimates its current sales value at $2.86 million.

Dan Bongino Suffers Fresh Embarrassment After Epstein Files Tantrum
Dan Bongino will soon be sharing duties as co-deputy director of the FBI with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. The appointment by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, which Fox News reported Monday, comes after Bongino clashed with Bondi and threatened to resign over the Trump administration's handling of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein, the dead sex offender. Bailey, a staunch Trump defender who has been in the role since January 2023, thanked the president and Bondi 'for the opportunity to serve in the mission to Make America Safe Again,' he wrote on X, adding: 'I will protect America and uphold the Constitution." Bongino was selected to serve as the FBI's sole deputy director in February, starting in the role in March. Despite the apparent downgrade for Bongino, the former Secret Service agent and Fox News host posted a message of support for Bailey. 'Welcome,' he wrote, along with three American flags. When reached for comment, Patel told the Daily Beast in a statement that the bureau 'will always bring the greatest talent this country has to offer in order to accomplish the goals set forth when an overwhelming majority of American people elected President Donald J. Trump again.' He added: 'Andrew Bailey will be an integral part of this important mission and I look forward continued fight to save America together.' Bongino's break with Bondi last month, which stemmed from the FBI and Justice Department's review of the Epstein case, caused long-lasting headaches for the administration, with the president having to complain publicly about his supporters. 'What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?' They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!' he wrote on Truth Social. Weeks later, after the situation had cooled a bit, Bongino posted a lengthy yet vague message on X, which only led to more scrutiny from the public. 'What I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core,' he wrote. 'We cannot run a Republic like this. I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned.' 'We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law,' he added. 'We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE. As with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not 'my truth,' or 'your truth,' but THE TRUTH.' Bailey, as Missouri's top law enforcement officer, has taken no shortage of Trump-friendly positions. He argued against Trump's prosecution for mishandling classified documents, and in 2024 sued New York state to try to stay Trump's sentencing for felony business fraud. He also sued to block former President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, and investigated liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America after it reported on ads running beside pro-Nazi content on X. Bailey's appointment is set to take effect Sept. 8.

Poli Sci Experts Predict How Gavin Newsom's Brutal Mockery Of Trump And MAGA Will Resonate
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) and his team have recently ramped up their social media attacks on President Donald Trump, his administration and the president's most dedicated MAGA supporters. And their approach is simple: Mock Trump by using his own style of writing and combativeness against him. Last week, the official social media account for Newsom's press office mimicked the president in a notably all-caps, Trump-esque tweet on X amid a controversial GOP redistricting ploy in Texas to send five more Republicans to the U.S. House. (Newsom has since launched a ballot initiative in California to ask voters in the state to approve early congressional redistricting to neutralize the Republican gains in Washington.) Related: 'CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE 'BEAUTIFUL MAPS,' THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!)' Newsom's press office wrote. And in a tweet published Friday, the governor's office ridiculed a photo of Trump jabbing a finger at Russian President Vladimir Putin by sharing a photo of Newsom doing the same thing to Trump on the tarmac of Los Angeles International Airport in January. 'TINY HANDS IS OUT HERE COPYING ME — BUT WITHOUT THE STAMINA (SAD), AND CERTAINLY WITHOUT THE 'LOOKS.' TOTAL BETA! — GCN' the tweet read. Other posts from Newsom and his office have either imitated Trump's long-winded rants on his Truth Social platform or mocked some of the heavily edited and artificial intelligence-generated images that Trump and his MAGA supporters have been known to promote. But Newsom and his office have not stopped at Trump. The X account for the governor's press team has been quick to hit back at other critics online, and Newsom and his team have had some brutal jokes for Vice President JD Vance. Over the weekend, the California Democrat referenced Vance's past contentious exchange with Volodymyr Zelenskyy prior to the Ukrainian president's return to the Oval Office on Monday by sharing a viral video of Vance running awkwardly at the Disneyland theme park in California this summer. 'Go get 'em JD!' Newsom tweeted. While some socialmedia users who oppose Trumphave celebrated Newsom and his team for viciously trolling the Trump administration, several prominent conservatives and MAGAsupportersonX have, unsurprisingly, taken issue with the brutal tit-for-tat approach. Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher called Newsom's attacks 'childish,' Fox News host Dana Perino questioned whether the governor's wife would step in to stop him from tweeting, and right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren derided Newsom and his team as 'beta males' in a post on X. Newsom told reporters last week that he hoped his trolling was a 'wake-up call' and that 'the deeper question is, how have we allowed the normalization of his tweets, Truth Social posts' without 'similar scrutiny and notice.' But is this an effective approach to fight against the Trump administration? Will Newsom's trolling help energize the left? Read on to hear what experts in political science think. Why Newsom is using mockery to fight against Trump. 'In the age of Trump, my sense is that both Democrats and Republicans are casting about for approaches that are effective in countering Trump's unique style,' said Steven J. Balla, associate professor of political science, public policy and public administration, and international affairs at The George Washington University. Balla said that these responses tend to range from more 'high road' approaches to strategies that seek in some way to 'mirror' Trump. 'For now (at least) and on this issue (at least) Newsom has opted for the 'mirroring' approach,' he said. 'Why is that? I would think that such an approach is seen as a pathway to the Democratic nomination. That is, it is popular among Democratic primary voters, who tend to track to the left of the median Democrat. The target audience, in other words, is progressive Democrats.' Related: Tabitha Bonilla, an associate professor of political science and human development and social policy at Northwestern University, told HuffPost that she believes, 'Democrats are starting to realize that 'politics as usual' is not working as an approach.' 'They lost the election, Democrat favorability is low and there have been a lot of calls to reinvent themselves (and not a lot of agreement on what that means),' she said. 'I think it's clear that Governor Newsom is trying to establish a leadership role within the party and along with that, a style that pokes fun at the president.' 'I think all of this is a way to draw attention to the difference in how President Trump has used social media, but also as a point to demonstrate that Governor Newsom can play on the president's level,' she added. Jacob Neiheisel, associate professor of political science at the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences, told HuffPost that he thinks Newsom is responding to 'elements of the Democratic rank-and-file who want party leaders to 'take the gloves off' and fight harder against Trump.' Why people on the left are celebrating Newsom trolling Trump. While people on the left have differing views about how to fight against the Trump administration — and different opinions about Newsom himself — there are many Democrats online who are celebrating the governor's approach to opposing Trump. Neiheisel thinks this is because there is a desire among some on the left to 'take the fight to Trump and to adopt Trump-like methods.' 'This move is hardly surprising to me given that the parties tend to emulate each other in many ways, particularly after a loss,' he said. Balla thinks the celebration is likely the loudest among progressive Democrats, 'much in the same way that Trump's communications play well with MAGA voters.' 'In both parties, I think, there are plenty of voters who are disenchanted with mocking attacks,' he said. 'But these voters are increasingly seen as relics, and they are most likely more moderate and therefore less crucial during primary contests.' Bonilla said that while she has not yet seen evidence in polls to suggest whether this style of attacking the president 'pushes opinion very far,' she thinks that for some Democrats, it is exciting to see their leaders fight against Trump. 'In this moment, where the Trump administration has disrupted a lot of how the government functions, has increased the powers of ICE and taken over municipal governments, people are incredibly eager for a way to express worry, frustration, and dissatisfaction with the way things are going,' she said. Is Newsom's approach an effective strategy? Newsom is widely speculated to be running for president in 2028. Should his potential political ambitions matter as people evaluate the effectiveness of his current attacks on Trump? Bonilla said that she supposes it 'does not hurt to engage with why a politician is acting in a particular way,' but thinks that 'most voters are pretty savvy in trying to discern if what an elected official is doing is trustworthy or represents them first and foremost.' But she suspects that any questions surrounding Newsom's political ambitions won't interfere with how people are currently responding to his attacks on Trump. 'However, I do think it would be a mistake to think that what Newsom is doing is a viable strategy for the Democratic Party as a whole,' she said. 'First, this type of response will probably lose meaning the more people do it. Second, other than poking fun at the president, I'd be surprised if this fully helped people (re)gain trust in the Democratic Party.' Balla said that he thinks Newsom's attacks on Trump are 'indistinguishable' from his political ambitions. 'In the end, is this an effective approach? To win a Democratic primary, perhaps,' he said. Overall, Balla finds it interesting that the Democratic Party is 'still so Trump-focused,' since he (presumably) won't be on the 2028 ticket. 'So will a Trump-like approach be effective in the next presidential election cycle? That in part depends on who the Republican nominee is and what that candidate's strengths and weaknesses are,' he said. 'Newsom (and others running against Trump) run the risk of winning the Democratic nomination but being ill-equipped to pivot to the general election.' But regardless of how Newsom's style of attack may play out in the future, are his recent posts likely getting under the president's skin? Neiheisel 'absolutely' believes so. 'Trump was triggered by a painting that was mildly unflattering,' he said. 'I think it is just in his nature to take exception to these types of attacks. And it is in the nature of his supporters to react on his behalf.' Related...

Russia won't commit to Putin-Zelensky meeting
Russia is refusing to commit to a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which President Trump has encouraged as a next step toward ending the war between their two countries. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov argued Tuesday that any summit between the leaders should be prepared 'step by step, gradually, starting from the expert level and then going through all the necessary stages.' Lavrov, who attended last week's summit between Trump and Putin in Alaska, made the remakrs in an interview with state-run television Rossiya-24. The foreign minister said the Kremlin is not turning down negotiations with Ukraine and added that the U.S. president has the invitation from Moscow to visit Russia. Trump was accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff in Anchorage. Trump spoke with Putin on Monday from the White House, dialing the Russian leader as he was hosting Zelensky along with seven European leaders, including the head of NATO, in Washington. The European officials and Zelensky were not in the room when Trump called Putin. 'I didn't do it in front of them — I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin. I wouldn't do that, because they have not had the warmest relations,' Trump said Tuesday while on Fox News's 'Fox & Friends.' The conversation between the U.S. president and Putin lasted around 40 minutes, with Trump saying the call was 'good' and that he told the Russian leader that 'we're going to set up a meeting with President Zelensky, and you and he will meet.' 'And then after that meeting, if everything works out OK, I'll meet and we'll wrap it up,' the president added. Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign policy adviser, said on Tuesday that Trump and the Kremlin head had a 'quite frank and constructive' conversation, discussing the 'prospect of exploring opportunities for drawing higher-ranking officials from both Ukraine and Russia into these direct talks. Trump, who has been pushing to end the three-and-a-half-year-old Russia-Ukraine conflict, has floated providing air support for Ukraine as part of security guarantees. The president said that Washington will assist Europe in forming security guarantees for Kyiv to fortify the potential peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine. 'We're willing to help them with things, especially, probably, if you talk about by air because nobody has stuff we have,' Trump said in an interview with Fox News. The president has instructed his national security team to 'come up with a framework for these security guarantees that can be acceptable to help ensure a lasting peace and end this war,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters during Tuesday's press briefing. 'I won't, certainly, rule out anything as far as military options that the president has at his disposal, I'll let him do that,' she said, adding that Trump has 'definitively' ruled out U.S. service members being on the ground in Ukraine.
