Former Elizabeth Warren foe flips script on her alliance with Mamdani: ‘Party of the extreme left’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The New York City mayoral race is having a ripple effect in races throughout the country, including in the open 2026 New Hampshire Senate race.
Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, who is now seeking the Republican nomination in the Granite State, took a shot at Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and his former opponent, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, for their joint press conference earlier this week, where she said that Mamdani is «the guy who’s walking the walk right now.»
«Let’s be crystal clear. So, New York is our financial capital of the world. It’s a great city. I used to live there,» Bown said in an interview with Fox News Digital.
«You look who’s supporting them, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, it’s the party of the extreme left who want open border sanctuary cities,» he added.

«I’ve tied Chris Pappas in because when asked directly whether he supports him or not, he wouldn’t answer the question. And it’s clear by his votes that he basically agrees with AOC and Bernie Sanders on all the things we talked about, and that’s so far out of touch with the people of New Hampshire,» he said of his likely Democratic opponent, Rep. Chris Pappas.
Brown ran a digital ad in June dubbed «Comrade Chris» depicting Pappas alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani.
«Scott Brown is pathetic in terms of how he’s running this campaign,» Pappas said. «Folks here in New Hampshire know that I’m a New Hampshire Democrat. I’m someone who works across the aisle,» Pappas told WMUR when asked if he wants to see Mamdani win and about being tied to the far left mayoral candidate. «The fact is, I don’t know what’s gonna go on in New York City. What I’m focused on is what’s happening right here in New Hampshire.»

«Republicans have spent tens of millions of dollars running attack ads against me through the years trying to paint me as someone that I’m not,» the Democrat said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
«We have the first in the nation primary, and if this guy wins [the mayor’s race], then he will be up here campaigning for all these other Democrats, and they will be pushed in so extreme, so far to the left, that the people in New Hampshire will see right through it,» he said of Mamdani. «They do not want his brand of socialism and extremism, antisemitism, bigotry pushed to New Hampshire,» Brown added.
«But the difference between [Warren] and Chris Pappas is that she believes what she believes, and she’ll let you know. When you ask Chris Pappas a question about him or other policies, where do you stand on blank […] he’s [gives] this big convoluted answer,» Brown said.

«He can’t answer a question, and he doesn’t have strong beliefs on issues. He’s basically a follower. He follows the leadership,» he added.

In 2010, Brown became the first Republican senator Massachusetts had in decades. He told Fox News Digital this week that «the energy feels like 2010,» harkening back to when he won the special election at the time. The win was considered a major early success of the Tea Party movement. He later lost to Warren in the 2012 election.

Cómo el uso de la tecnología ayuda a la salud cognitiva en adultos mayores

El uso cotidiano de tecnología digital por parte de adultos mayores se asocia con una mejor salud cognitiva y un menor riesgo de demencia, según un análisis reciente de decenas de estudios científicos. Este hallazgo, publicado en Nature Human Behavior, desafía la percepción extendida de que la tecnología perjudica la mente, especialmente en un contexto donde los efectos negativos de los dispositivos electrónicos en jóvenes han generado preocupación. Sin embargo, la evidencia indica que, para quienes superan los 50 años, la tecnología puede convertirse en una aliada inesperada del cerebro.
El análisis, citado en un artículo por The New York Times, revisó 57 estudios con la participación de más de 411.000 personas mayores (edad promedio: 69 años) y encontró que cerca del 90% de las investigaciones reportaron un efecto protector de la tecnología digital sobre la función cognitiva. Los adultos mayores que utilizaban ordenadores, teléfonos inteligentes, internet o una combinación de estos dispositivos obtuvieron mejores resultados en pruebas cognitivas y presentaron tasas más bajas de deterioro mental o diagnóstico de demencia, en comparación con quienes evitaban o usaban menos la tecnología.
El tipo de tecnología empleada por este grupo abarca desde ordenadores personales y teléfonos inteligentes hasta el uso regular de internet. Los beneficios observados no se limitan a una sola función: el manejo de dispositivos digitales implica resolver problemas, adaptarse a actualizaciones constantes y aprender nuevas aplicaciones, lo que representa un desafío mental complejo. Además, la tecnología puede facilitar la vida diaria, como realizar compras, gestionar cuentas bancarias o mantener la comunicación con familiares y amigos, lo que contribuye a preservar habilidades funcionales y sociales.
Gran parte de la preocupación por la relación entre tecnología y cognición provino de estudios en niños y adolescentes, cuyos cerebros están en desarrollo.

Expertos en neurociencia y envejecimiento han aportado matices a estos resultados. Michael Scullin, neurocientífico y autor principal del análisis, señaló que “entre la generación pionera digital, el uso de tecnología cotidiana se ha asociado con menor riesgo de deterioro cognitivo y demencia”.
Por su parte, Murali Doraiswamy, director del Programa de Trastornos Neurocognitivos en la Universidad de Duke, consideró que estos hallazgos “son refrescantes y provocadores, y plantean una hipótesis que merece más investigación”.
Walter Boot, psicólogo especializado en envejecimiento, destacó que el estudio refleja el uso de tecnología en la vida real, donde los adultos mayores deben adaptarse a un entorno digital en constante cambio, lo que hace plausibles los resultados.
La experiencia de Wanda Woods, de 67 años, ilustra cómo la adaptación tecnológica puede integrarse en la vida cotidiana de los adultos mayores. Ella comenzó su relación con la tecnología en la adolescencia, cuando un curso de mecanografía la llevó a trabajar con procesadores de texto en la Agencia de Protección Ambiental. Décadas después, fundó un negocio de formación informática y actualmente es instructora en Senior Planet, una iniciativa en Denver que ayuda a personas mayores a familiarizarse con la tecnología.
Woods utiliza ordenadores, teléfonos inteligentes, relojes inteligentes y chatbots de inteligencia artificial para organizar viajes y actividades familiares, y afirma que mantenerse al día con la tecnología la mantiene activa y conectada: “Me mantiene informada también”.

La razón por la que la tecnología puede beneficiar al cerebro en la vejez radica en los desafíos que plantea. Según Scullin, estos dispositivos representan retos complejos que requieren perseverancia y aprendizaje continuo, lo que estimula procesos mentales asociados con la salud cognitiva. Incluso la necesidad de adaptarse a nuevas versiones de software o resolver problemas técnicos puede convertirse en un ejercicio mental positivo. Además, la tecnología fomenta la interacción social y puede compensar ciertas limitaciones de memoria mediante recordatorios y aplicaciones útiles.
No obstante, los especialistas advierten sobre los riesgos asociados al uso inadecuado o excesivo de la tecnología. Los fraudes en línea y las estafas afectan especialmente a los adultos mayores, quienes, aunque reportan menos incidentes que los jóvenes, suelen sufrir pérdidas económicas más elevadas. La desinformación y el aislamiento social por un uso excesivo de pantallas también representan amenazas. Doraiswamy subrayó que la tecnología no puede sustituir otras actividades beneficiosas para el cerebro, como el ejercicio físico o una alimentación saludable.
En las últimas décadas, la proporción de personas mayores que desarrollan demencia ha disminuido en Estados Unidos y varios países europeos, a pesar del aumento absoluto de casos debido al envejecimiento poblacional. Los investigadores atribuyen esta tendencia a factores como la reducción del tabaquismo, mayores niveles educativos y un mejor control de la presión arterial. Doraiswamy sugirió que la interacción con la tecnología podría estar contribuyendo a este patrón, aunque la relación exacta aún no se ha determinado.
El futuro de la relación entre tecnología y envejecimiento plantea nuevas preguntas. No está claro si los beneficios observados en la generación actual de adultos mayores se mantendrán en las próximas cohortes, que han crecido rodeadas de tecnología. Como señaló Boot, la tecnología evoluciona constantemente, por lo que el impacto sobre la salud cognitiva podría variar con el tiempo.
A lo largo de la historia, la llegada de nuevas tecnologías ha generado inquietud y escepticismo. Sin embargo, la experiencia muestra que, tras la alarma inicial, muchas innovaciones terminan aportando ventajas inesperadas, incluso para quienes más reticencia sentían al principio.

WATCH: Texas state senator argues redistricting showdown could decide balance of power in future US Congress

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
GOP Texas state senator Mayes Middleton told Fox News Digital that the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to Republicans’ redistricting fight with Democrats in Texas, arguing that the effort to redraw the maps in Texas could «save America.»
Middleton pointed out that if the results of the 2026 mid-term elections lead to another razor-thin majority for Republicans, the Congress «will know» that the Texas redistricting bill was responsible for the GOP maintaining its power. Meanwhile, despite Democrats’ attempts to halt the GOP redistricting effort by fleeing the state, Middleton expressed little concern that these challenges would amount to anything.
«Literally, this redistricting bill could save this entire nation. This is why this fight is so important to me,» Middleton said. «I will fight with everything in me to make sure that this map becomes law, and we get those five more Republican seats … It could literally save America.»

Despite the stakes, according to Middleton, he did not express concern about Democrats’ efforts to challenge the Republican redistricting bill, which has included dozens of Texas House Democrats fleeing the state to prevent the legislature from being able to conduct official business.
He called their challenge «meritless,» pointing to litigation stemming from his home county of Galveston that found that «coalition districts» — districts formed by combining multiple minority groups to reach a majority — were in violation of the Voting Rights Act. As a result, Democrats cannot claim an obligation to create such districts to preserve minority voting power, Republicans argue.
«Before the Petteway case was decided, basically you could add together various minority groups to get above 50% and then, under [Democrats’] interpretation of the Voting Rights Act, they said that was a protected district,» Middleton explained. «And that actually began when Galveston County Commissioners Court redistricted, and the last Democrat in the Commissioners Court was drawn out of office, and they sued and said that was racist. But yet, not long after, maybe a month after, Harris County redistricted and drew out a Republican, and they said that was fine. So that shows you just the ridiculous hypocrisy of the left in this case.»

Civil arrest warrants were issued by the Texas House Republican majority earlier this week in an effort to compel the absent Democrats to return, but they are only enforceable within state lines and do not lead to jail time, since the warrants are not criminal. Still, Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton has called on a court in Illinois, where a large swath of the Texas House Democrats fled, to enforce the warrants against Democrats.
In addition to blocking Texas Republicans’ redistricting bill, the exodus of Texas Democrats is obstructing crucial legislation from making its way through the legislature, Middleton told Fox News Digital.

Middleton pointed to one bill being held up, Senate Bill 7, which aims to protect all-female spaces from being used by biological males who identify as transgender females. Others include a ban on taxpayer-funded lobbying, an election-crime enforcement bill and critical flood relief legislation.
«These are the conservative priorities that we were elected to get done. And the Democrats, of course, are looking for ways to block that are unlawful,» Middleton argued. «Frankly, they’re doing it in a way that will cause their office to be vacated if they don’t come back.»

Hundreds of anti-Israel protestors arrested in London for supporting group banned under terrorism law

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Police in London arrested over 360 anti-Israel protesters on Saturday as throngs of people intentionally violated a new ban on support for a particular pro-Palestinian group.
The U.K. Parliament passed a ban on public support for Palestinian Action early last month after members of the group broke into a Royal Air Force base and vandalized aircraft. The U.K. ban states that supporting the organization is akin to supporting terrorism, and therefore illegal.
The anti-Israel protesters in London this weekend argue the ban is an illegal infringement on freedom of speech. London Police arrested at least 365 people before the demonstrations ended.
More than 500 protesters filled the square outside the Houses of Parliament on Saturday, many daring police to arrest them by displaying signs reading, «I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.» That was enough for police to step in.
AP ROASTED OVER ‘JAW-DROPPING’ STORY ABOUT HEZBOLLAH TERRORISTS’ ‘STRUGGLE TO RECOVER’ FROM PAGER ATTACK
«We are confident that anyone who came to Parliament Square today to hold a placard expressing support for Palestine Action was either arrested or is in the process of being arrested,» the police force said in a statement.
The protest’s organizer, Defend Our Juries, said it intended for the protest to show that the new law was impossible to practically implement.
«The police have only been able to arrest a fraction of those supposedly committing ‘terrorism’ offenses, and most of those have been given street bail and allowed to go home,» Defend Our Juries, which organized the protest, said in a statement. «This is a major embarrassment to (the government), further undermining the credibility of this widely ridiculed law, brought in to punish those exposing the government’s own crimes.»
The protest comes just one day after the Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan to occupy Gaza City, marking an escalation in Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas.
The office said the Security Cabinet had adopted, by vote, five principles for concluding the war which include: the disarming of Hamas, the return of all hostages – living and deceased, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, Israeli security control in the Gaza Strip, and the establishment of an alternative civil administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.

«A decisive majority of Security Cabinet ministers believed that the alternative plan that had been submitted to the Security Cabinet would neither achieve the defeat of Hamas nor the return of the hostages,» Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said.

Asked in an interview with Fox News ahead of the Security Cabinet meeting if Israel would «take control of all of Gaza,» Netanyahu replied: «We intend to, in order to assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be free of Gaza.»
