Dem socialist running for Wisconsin governor pushed ‘abolishing the police’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Democratic socialist running for governor in Wisconsin once called to «defund, then abolish,» the police.
Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong, in a flurry of posts on social media, called for the end of policing in the wake of the slaying of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake, before and during her time as an elected official.
In one post made in August 2020, first reported by CNN, Hong said, «I support defunding the police as a first step towards abolishing the police.»

«Jacob Blake is fighting for his life, but he shouldn’t have to be,» she said on X, then Twitter. «We must also fight for his life and get justice for all those harmed by state-sanctioned violence.»
Blake was shot seven times in Kenosha, Wis., after police responded to a domestic disturbance call. The incident left him partially paralyzed and sparked a wave of violent protests in 2020.
He had a pocket knife on him that fell from his pocket in the altercation, which he picked up before being shot.
Hong again weighed in on the issue, this time as an elected official in October 2021 in response to federal prosecutors’ decision to not file charges against Officer Rusten Sheskey, who shot Blake over a year prior.

«How is 7 bullets in the back not excessive force,» Hong said online. «Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish. Reform can’t be an option. My heart breaks for the trauma the Blake family and their community continues to endure.»
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Hong appeared to backtrack from the posts, but didn’t say whether as governor she would move to defund and abolish the police.
«There is no way I want to cut resources for public safety,» Hong said. «I don’t like crime. I don’t like unsafe streets. I also don’t like when a member of law enforcement abuses their power.»
MANDELA BARNES JUMPS INTO WISCONSIN GOVERNOR RACE — BUT BAGGAGE FROM HIS 2022 SENATE BID FOLLOWS

«Everyone deserves the resources they need to be safe, including housing, good-paying jobs, mental health supports and community resources,» she continued. «As governor, I will look at every part of the state and work with local leaders to shape solutions that address our immediate needs.»
Hong, who is endorsed by Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., is one of several candidates in a crowded primary for the Democratic nomination in Wisconsin. Primary Election Day is still a ways away on Aug. 11, and Hong is locked in a tight battle with former Lieutenant Governor and 2022 Democratic nominee for Senate Mandela Barnes.
The winner of their primary will likely square off against Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., a member of the House Freedom Caucus and front-runner in his bid for the Republican nomination. Tiffany, in a statement to Fox News Digital, took a shot at both candidates.

«This is what today’s Democrat Party has become,» Tiffany said. «Whether it’s Francesca Hong doubling down on abolishing the police or Mandela Barnes calling to empty prisons while pushing to end cash bail, they are both far-left radicals who care more about protecting criminals than the innocent people harmed by their crimes.»
Tiffany’s campaign directed Fox News Digital to older posts from Barnes, too, where he pushed to «cut the prison population in half,» and legislation he introduced a decade ago to end cashless bail.
Fox News Digital reached out to Barnes’ campaign for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Panamá fue designada oficialmente como sede regional de la conmemoración del Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre 2026, distinción que posiciona al país como referente en los esfuerzos para fortalecer los sistemas de sangre segura y avanzar hacia modelos sustentados en la donación voluntaria, altruista y recurrente.
Cada 14 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre, como un homenaje al nacimiento de Karl Landsteiner, el científico austríaco que descubrió los grupos sanguíneos y recibió el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina en 1930 por sus aportes fundamentales a la transfusión segura de sangre
El Ministerio de Salud, la Caja de Seguro Social y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) formaron una alianza orientada a fortalecer la gobernanza, el financiamiento y la coordinación de los servicios de sangre, garantizando una respuesta más eficiente y equitativa a las necesidades de la población.
Julio Arosemena, viceministro encargado de Salud, insistió en la necesidad existente de que más personas se conviertan en donantes voluntarios y periódicos, destacando que la disponibilidad de sangre segura es fundamental para la atención de emergencias, cirugías, tratamientos oncológicos y otras intervenciones médicas.
Anualmente, el país pasa por periodos en que las autoridades sanitarias deben hacer llamados a la población para que acuda a donar sangre, que en muchas ocasiones tiende a escasear.
Erika Zhong, jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud, recordó que una sola unidad de sangre puede salvar hasta tres vidas adultas o hasta ocho vidas pediátricas, mediante el aprovechamiento de sus diferentes componentes.
Una nota del Ministerio de Salud indica que la especialista señaló que uno de los principales desafíos del país es reducir la dependencia de los donantes de reposición y consolidar una cultura de donación voluntaria y recurrente que garantice reservas suficientes durante todo el año.
La jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud indicó que «la sangre no se puede fabricar; su disponibilidad depende exclusivamente de la solidaridad de las personas que deciden donar voluntariamente».
Durante una actividad conmemorativa del día del donante de sangre, las autoridades de salubridad coincidieron en señalar la necesidad de fortalecer la articulación entre las instituciones públicas, el sector privado y los organismos internacionales para optimizar la captación, distribución y uso de los componentes sanguíneos.
Ana Rivière-Cinnamond, representante de la OPS/OMS en Panamá, destacó la importancia de promover la donación voluntaria y recurrente como una acción capaz de salvar la vida de quienes más lo necesitan, según el Ministerio de Salud.
Destacó el lema de la campaña 2026: «Una gota de humanidad. Donemos sangre. Salvemos vidas“, un mensaje que pone en el centro la solidaridad humana y el impacto que puede generar cada donación.
La directora nacional de los Servicios de Salud de la Caja de Seguro Social, Marlin Cedeño, destacó que cada donación representa una oportunidad de vida para pacientes que requieren transfusiones debido a cirugías, accidentes o enfermedades que demandan componentes sanguíneos.
Cada unidad de sangre donada puede beneficiar hasta a tres pacientes, ya que de ella se obtienen componentes esenciales como glóbulos rojos empacados, plaquetas y plasma fresco congelado, los cuales son distribuidos según las necesidades médicas de cada paciente en los hospitales de la red institucional.
Como parte de la conmemoración, se desarrollaron jornadas simultáneas de donación voluntaria en distintos puntos del país, con el propósito de fortalecer las reservas nacionales y fomentar una cultura solidaria que contribuya a salvar vidas.

Trump announces peace deal with Iran, declares Strait of Hormuz will reopen: ‘Let the oil flow!’
JUST IN: Trump announces Iran deal opens Strait of Hormuz, lifts naval blockade
Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst covers President Donald Trump’s major announcement of a peace deal with Iran. Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ post details the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and removal of the U.S. naval blockade, allowing for increased oil flow. The deal aims to bring peace to the Middle East after months of conflict.

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States and Iran have officially reached a peace agreement, marking a major diplomatic breakthrough that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
«The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,» Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
«Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!»
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country has served as a mediator, was the first to announce the peace deal, saying a signing ceremony is scheduled to take place Friday in Switzerland.

Trump added that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen once the parties formally sign the agreement.
«With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!» he said.

According to Sharif, the deal includes the termination of military operations across the region, including in Lebanon, where Iran-backed terrorist proxy Hezbollah has been engaged in conflict with Israel.
«Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,» he said.
Additional details of the agreement, including any provisions related to Iran’s nuclear program, were not immediately released.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister said talks with the United States on a final and more comprehensive agreement will take place during a 60-day ceasefire period, according to Reuters.
The outlet reported that the future of Iran’s nuclear program will be addressed in upcoming negotiations. Trump has long maintained that Iran cannot be in possession of a nuclear weapon and has repeatedly vowed to prevent Tehran from developing, acquiring or obtaining one.
Trump further praised his administration for securing the agreement.
«This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region,» he said. «Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace.»
Sharif also thanked the United States and Iran for their «commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict,» as well as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for their contributions to the mediation effort.
With the agreement now in place, mediators are expected to facilitate a series of meetings this week that could lay the groundwork for technical negotiations and the official signing ceremony, Sharif said.

The peace deal would formally end the high-stakes conflict that began on Feb. 28, which disrupted roughly 20% of global oil shipments that pass through the Strait of Hormuz and contributed to higher energy prices worldwide.
It comes roughly one year after Israel initiated massive strikes on Iran during Operation Rising Lion. The strikes sparked a 12-day conflict between the nations before Trump ordered strikes on a trio of nuclear facilities later that same month.
