FIRST ON FOX: A Democrat running for Congress in New Jersey who has been positioning herself as a moderate to unseat the sitting Republican in a pro-Trump district, has deleted several social media posts promoting progressive candidates and causes.
Democrat Rebecca Bennett, who is running in the Democratic primary to unseat GOP Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, is a Navy veteran and current member of the Air National Guard who has been labeled by local media as a "moderate" in a race the Cook Political Report ranks as "Lean Republican."
A Fox News Digital review of Bennett's X account, which was created in July 2011 and recently converted from @BigRedBecks to @RebeccaForNJ07, shows several deleted posts that seemingly drift away from the "moderate" label, including praise of progressive Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren…READ MORE

NYC Residents Want Safer Streets, Cheaper Housing, Survey Says
A majority of New Yorkers still say the biggest US city needs safer streets and better housing to make it more livable. Just one in three New Yorkers, or 34%, rate the city's quality of life as excellent or good, according to the latest resident survey from the Citizens Budget Commission. That's up slightly from 30% in 2023's survey but less than the 51% in 2017 who gave it high marks.

Pentagon Wants to Delay Navy's Next-Gen Fighter to Focus on F-47
The Pentagon wants to give priority to the Air Force's F-47 stealth fighter over Navy plans to develop its own next-generation jet, arguing that pursuing the two programs at the same time could delay them both. The Defense Department asked Congress to shift $500 million to the F-47, which was awarded to Boeing Co. in March, from the 'accelerated development' of a to-be-contracted Navy stealth fighter. The House Armed Services Committee had added the money to the defense section of President Donald Trump's signature tax-cut bill.

Protesters stops eviction at Caltrans-owned home in El Sereno
Protesters in El Sereno stopped Los Angeles County deputies from evicting a 70-year-old man from a state-owned home that has remained vacant for decades. Benito Flores moved into the Caltrans-owned home during the pandemic. He's called himself a "reclaimer" of one of the more than 100 homes that've sat vacant for decades because of the failed 710 Freeway expansion. "I'm going to fight the eviction," he said. "Caltrans have 170 houses empty for 20 years, why? This is an absurdity." Before the pandemic, Flores had lived in his car for more than a decade and eventually seized the vacant home roughly five years ago. He formally moved into the house after signing a lease with the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles. However, the agreement ended two years ago. "I will die in the street because I have diabetes," Flores said. "I will die as a martyr to call attention around the housing program." Flores said HACLA violated the agreement by not providing him housing prior to the eviction notice. HACLA denied his claims. The city said they gave Flores referrals to multiple affordable housing sites and an emergency housing voucher, but he refused. Flores denied refusing the offers from HACLA. He said he'll resist arrest until the end. "I made a cabin in the top of the tree and I am going to go and wait for the sheriff there," he said. HACLA said it still wants to avoid locking out any of the so-called reclaimers, adding that it has offered financial settlements. Flores is still hopeful he'll be able to stay. "We have the right to live here," he said. "We have the right to purchase these properties under the Roberti Law."
