A new investigation has found that many popular protein powders and shakes may contain potentially dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals, including lead — though not all experts agree on how much risk they actually pose. Consumer Reports tested 23 popular protein products and found more than two-thirds contained more lead per serving than the outlet's experts consider is safe in a single day. Some had more than 10 times what some health experts consider a safe daily amount, according to the report published this week. "We advise against daily use for most protein powders, since many have high levels of heavy metals and none are necessary to hit your protein goals," said Tunde Akinleye, a chemist and food safety researcher at Consumer Reports. PROTEIN IN YOUR COFFEE? STARBUCKS PUSHES NEW LATTES AS EXPERTS REACT Plant-based products — especially those made with pea protein — were the worst offenders, averaging about nine times more lead than dairy- and beef-based counterparts. The investigation included both ready-to-drink shakes and powders intended for blending into smoothies. Some single servings contained between 400% and 1,600% of Consumers Reports' recommended daily limit for lead, or 4 to 16 times higher than what it considers safe. For those that were slightly lower, experts recommended limiting consumption to once a week. Several also contained measurable cadmium and arsenic, with cadmium levels in some cases more than twice what public health authorities consider potentially harmful daily exposure. PROTEIN POWERS MORE THAN WORKOUTS, CAN ALSO PROTECT HAIR, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS Dairy-based protein powders and shakes generally had the lowest amounts of lead, the investigation found, though many still had enough for Consumer Reports' experts to caution against daily use. Lead levels in the beef-based products were about half those of plant-based products on average. Most fell below Consumer Reports' daily level of concern, though some exceeded it, and experts say these were safe to consume "occasionally." Most of those that they said were better choices for daily consumption were dairy, made using whey, which is a byproduct of the cheese-making process. No amount of lead is technically safe, the report noted, but the greatest danger comes from repeated or continuous exposure, particularly at high doses, and is especially risky for children, pregnant women and older adults. NEW 'CLEAR PROTEIN' HACK MUSCLES IN AS LATEST TREND IN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE "There’s no reason to panic if you’ve been using any of the products we tested, or if you take protein supplements generally," the report noted. "Many of these powders are fine to have occasionally, and even those with the highest lead levels are far below the concentration needed to cause immediate harm." It continued, "That said, because most people don’t actually need protein supplements — nutrition experts say the average American already gets plenty — it makes sense to ask whether these products are worth the added exposure." The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 46 grams per day for women and 56 grams for men. Very active individuals may need nearly twice that amount, but experts say most people can easily meet their needs through food alone — despite the recent craze driving a multibillion-dollar wellness trend marketed as a shortcut to build muscle. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "The average adult doesn't require protein supplements to hit their daily quota," said Lisa Moskovitz, a registered dietitian and founder of NY Nutrition Group in Manhattan. "Yet, at a time when protein intake is trending and all we seem to hear is about the importance of consuming enough, many of my clients are incorporating more protein powders than ever before." If you're looking for a protein supplement, Moskovitz recommends whey-based options, not only because of the lower lead levels but also because whey is better absorbed and utilized by the body. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Still, she and other experts say the alarm may be overblown. Dr. Andrea Love, a Pennsylvania-based biomedical scientist, slammed the investigation as "fearmongering," noting the lead levels identified were measured in parts per billion and remained far below the daily exposure limits considered safe for adults. Moskovitz said the evaluation was based on "extremely conservative and controversial parameters." Still, she advised choosing brands that are third-party tested and show lower levels of lead. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Long-term lead exposure can harm the brain and heart, she noted, while short-term symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, headache and fatigue. Heavy metals occur naturally in the environment, she added, and even everyday foods such as spices, dried fruit, rice and certain vegetables can contain trace amounts absorbed from soil and water.

"That is why it's always advised to be vigilant, aware and consult with a professional if you're unsure whether a product is safe or unsafe."

Showing three changes from the 2-0 win against Leamington (Michael Duckworth, Dom Tear and Alex Wiles replacing Jack Waldron, Harry Green and Rio Allan), Boro started brightly and were on top for the opening 20 minutes before fading badly, as Telford took control to pick up only their third league win of the season. Boro played some nice football in the early stages, Will Thornton’s long ball forward was flicked on by Ste Walker to Wiles, who teed up a shot for Walker that was blocked by Jordan Piggott, then Alex Purver and Tear, making his 150th appearance for the club, combined to send Alex Brown racing down the left, and his low cross flashed across the goalmouth. A Lewis Maloney corner was palmed off the head of Luca Colville by keeper Josh Gracey, and a Tear through-ball to Ste Walker was intercepted by Oliver Bandres. Telford gradually took charge of the game, Jamie Meddows blazed over, Charlie Williams fired into the arms of Boro keeper Ryan Whitley, skipper Alex Fletcher had a shot blocked by Duckworth, and Meddows passed to Matty Stenson in the area, but Brown slid in with a great tackle. On the half hour Boro were awarded a free-kick inside the Telford box when keeper Gracey picked up a back-pass, with Purver laying off to Maloney, whose shot was deflected out for a corner. Telford pressure just before the interval saw Duckworth block a strike from Remi Walker, and Piggott fired straight at Whitley. Green replaced the injured Wiles during the interval, and it was Telford who dictated play for most of the second half. Meddows shot into the chest of Whitley and Kieran Weledji did well to block a fierce Remi Walker strike, but it was Boro who opened the scoring on 62 minutes when Purver sent over a corner to the back post, and Thornton’s header was scrambled off the goal-line, with Colville slamming in the loose ball through a crowd of players, but the hosts levelled within two minutes, as Remi Walker fed Meddows in the area, and he smashed a ferocious shot in off the crossbar. Telford were now dominant, Brown cut out Ammar Dyer’s through-ball to Meddows, Weledji tackled Remi Walker when he raced into the area and Ricardo Dinanga had a shot held by Whitley. They went ahead when Jordan Cranston laid off to Remi Walker, who fired inside the right-hand post, then Walker added another to make it 3-1, his first shot was blocked by Thornton, but he directed the rebound into the bottom left corner. A Green cross was headed wide by Weledji, Ste Walker latched onto a ball forward from Thornton, but his shot was blocked by Cranston, and sub Zane Myers showed some nice touches as Boro tried to fight back, but Telford added a fourth goal, when Dinanga dribbled into the box, and struck a low shot inside the left-hand post.

I blame that, in part, on knowing next to nothing about Olivia Rodrigo, let alone the names of her albums (or songs, for that matter). Thankfully, I did know what roll Robin Williams and Will Smith shared: The Genie from Aladdin (and not that Will Smith was bad, but nobody compares to Robin Williams). REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement, so that was easy enough, bit by bit I figured out UGLY for sweaters (KNIT did not work) TANGO for the dance (a popular crossword dance) and eventually, 1 minute and 48 seconds later, I had this one. Slow and steady wins the race. How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well.

The Holiday Bowl’s ongoing financial hardships are serious enough that event organizers pursued the possibility of playing January’s game in Saudi Arabia. Mark Neville, the CEO of Sports San Diego, which stages the Holiday Bowl, visited the country in June for meetings and to discuss logistics. Officials from the Atlantic Coast Conference — one of the game’s two participating leagues — reportedly put an end to the idea. “We are always looking at considering ideas to make us better, to keep things fresh and new and innovative,” Neville said. “This was an opportunity that came from the relationships we’ve built through decades. It was a relationship that opened this door for us, so we considered it. It would have been foolish to say, ‘No way.’ Of course, we’re going to consider this.” The Holiday Bowl matches a team from the ACC against a current or former member of the Pac-12. If everything had fallen into place, the teams would have played Jan. 2 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at the 60,000-seat King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. “Revenue streams are limited for us, so we’ve got to get creative,” Neville said. “This is a pretty creative way. That’s where this whole concept came from, and we pursued it. We went down the path. It takes a big idea like this, or a big event like this, it takes a lot of pieces to the puzzle to put together. “In the end, the pieces of the puzzle just didn’t come together. And so we move on. We’re going to have a great game in San Diego.” Numbers game The combined payout to the teams participating in the Holiday Bowl is $5.9 million. It would have been substantially greater for a game played in Saudi Arabia. Sports San Diego also would have received significant money to move the game there as a one-off event, helping ease some of the financial strain. The game’s financial reserves were exhausted when COVID-19 forced the 2020 and 2021 contests to be canceled. Losses were limited in 2020 because organizers pulled the plug on the game two months beforehand, well before most cash outlays were made. Such was not the case in 2021, when UCLA backed out five hours before kickoff against North Carolina State. The Holiday Bowl eventually sued the Pac-12 to recover some of those losses. The game is currently without a title sponsor following two years with DirecTV. “How going to Saudi Arabia for the Holiday Bowl would have helped us — and, by the way, we’re not going there — it was going to help provide us some funds to keep this effort sustainable,” Neville said. “Once that door closed, we look at a bunch of other stuff. We’re always, always creating ways to make everything we do better and we’re always, always trying to create ways to make this effort sustainable in the long term. “Every decision we make is to benefit San Diego, even this one.” The Holiday Bowl receives a $400,000 grant from the San Diego Tourism Authority to help put on the event. Neville said in 2024 the game generated 15,000 hotel room nights and $18 million in economic impact. Among the conditions for receiving funds is that the event be held in the city of San Diego and that it increase the number of overnight visitors to the city. Neville said Sports San Diego would have returned the grant money had January’s game been played in Saudi Arabia. “Of course,” he said. “Without question.” Attendance, sponsorship issues For decades, the Holiday Bowl attracted crowds of 50,000 or more to Qualcomm Stadium. The game’s history of tight finishes and gaudy offensive numbers earned it the moniker of “America’s Most Exciting Bowl Game.” But college football’s move to a playoff system and the trend of athletes (and even coaches) leaving schools before postseason games are played have affected San Diego’s longtime bowl. USC star quarterback Caleb Williams skipped the Trojans’ 2023 Holiday Bowl against Louisville. Washington State arrived for last year’s game against Syracuse without both its coach and starting quarterback. Fans stayed home: The attendance for December’s game was 23,920, the smallest in Holiday Bowl history. Holiday Bowl officials will keep one eye on increasing revenue, but could also look to cut expenses moving forward. The Holiday Bowl’s six-year deal with the ACC and Pac-12 expires after the January game. It would not be surprising to see the Holiday Bowl create tie-ins with the new Pac-12 and the Mountain West in the next cycle, with a significantly lower combined payout of perhaps $2 million. Critics call it ‘sportswashing’ There was certain to be blowback to any deal with Saudi Arabia because of the country’s history of human rights violations. In its April report, “The State of the World’s Human Rights,” Amnesty International wrote that, in Saudi Arabia: “Human rights defenders and others exercising their rights to freedom of expression and association were subjected to arbitrary arrest and detention, unfair trials leading to lengthy prison terms, and travel bans.” The organization wrote that domestic workers “continued to be subjected to forced labor and other forms of labor abuse and exploitation, and lacked access to adequate protection and redress mechanisms.” That hasn’t stopped several professional sports leagues and athletes from going to the country, or receiving funds from it. Critics call it “sportswashing” — using sporting events to distract from human rights and other abuses. LIV Golf is funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. The FIBA Asia Championship basketball tournament, Formula 1 racing, WWE wrestling and the Esports World Cup have all been held in Saudi Arabia. Tennis’ WTA Finals are being played there in two weeks. Neville said he didn’t “want to get into that other part of it.” “We at the Holiday Bowl have always prided ourselves in the experience that we provide players, the bands and the visiting fans when they come here for the bowl. I think we’re second to none as it relates to that,” he said. “This, over there (in Saudi Arabia), would have been next-level. The cultural exchange. It would have been the first American football game in that region of the world. … “My experience over there was very favorable, and let’s just leave it at that. I’m very open-minded. I don’t judge people. I’m pretty naive, too. I freely admit that. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and there are beautiful people everywhere in the world, including in Saudi Arabia.”
The 250th anniversary celebration of the U.S. Marine Corps at San Diego County's Camp Pendleton on Saturday sparked a heated social media exchange between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the White House. The event — titled "America’s Marines 250: From Sea to Shore: A Review of Amphibious Strength" — featured a range of festivities at the Marine Corps base, including a large-scale live-fire demonstration that was attended by Vice President JD Vance. Newsom blasted the display of military power as "dangerous" and "an absurd show of force," announcing on Saturday that a section of Interstate 5 near the base would be temporarily closed during the celebration. "Because of the Trump Admin’s plans, drivers should expect delays on Interstate 5 and other state routes throughout Southern California before, during and after the event," Newsom posted to X. VP VANCE'S CAMP ACCUSES CALIFORNIA GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM OF DISSEMINATING 'FAKE NEWS' AHEAD OF MARINES CELEBRATION The Democrat doubled down later in the day, accusing the White House of denying earlier in the week that any freeway closures would be needed, despite the use of live munitions. NEWSOM SUES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OVER CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT ORDER TO OREGON However, the White House quickly fired back, accusing Newsom of distorting the facts. "Newscum is lying," the White House’s Rapid Response account posted to X. "He closed the highway — not only did nobody at the White House or the Marines ask him to do so, the Marines repeatedly said there are no public safety concerns with today’s exercises. Newscum lies and tries to make it about himself? Day ending in ‘y.'" The White House account also reposted an X post from Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz, who wrote, "Gavin Newscum is shutting down a major CA highway just because JD Vance is in the state. Inconveniencing tens of thousands of Americans. What a petty little man." Newsom then rebuttled, "The [California Highway Patrol] and highway safety experts are saying what any person with common sense knows: It is not safe for people to drive on a major freeway at high speeds directly under LIVE MUNITIONS." He added, "White House not communicating, endangering the public, and then trying to blame the Governor for doing the right thing — keeping people out of harm’s way — yet another day living in Trump’s authoritarian America." TRUMP VS NEWSOM SHOWDOWN LANDS IN COURT WITH FAMILY TIES TO THE NATION'S HIGHEST BENCH The exchange followed days of tension between Newsom and the Trump administration over the Camp Pendleton event. Earlier in the week, the California governor called the anniversary celebration a "vanity parade." "Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military," Newsom posted to X Wednesday, while reposting an X post from left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch that claimed the White House planned to close parts of the I-5 during the event. "PUT ASIDE YOUR VANITY PARADE AND PAY OUR TROOPS INSTEAD." However, William Martin, special assistant to the president and communications director to the vice president, quickly pushed back against Newsom. "This is complete fake news," Martin declared in a post on X, which was reposted by the @VP X account. "The Marine Corps said they are NOT shutting down the I-5 highway and that the event at Camp Pendleton is a training exercise. Also, President Trump IS paying the troops despite Chuck Schumer’s efforts to hold their salaries hostage." A Marine Corps press release Wednesday about the festivities said that "no public highways or transportation routes will be closed." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Extensive safety measures were implemented at the celebration — expected to draw more than 15,000 attendees — including detailed risk assessments, emergency crews on site, and fully scripted air, surface and ground movements, FOX 11 Los Angeles reported earlier in the week, citing event organizers. Newsom and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Fox News Digital's Alex Nitzberg contributed to this report.
With winter soon rolling in, you may not have paid much attention to the grass growing in your garden. While it can feel like more of a chore mowing your lawn throughout the colder months, not doing so can give weeds the opportunity to take over. This can lead to many plants in your garden missing out on essential resources such as sunlight, water, and other essential nutrients. This can also lead to the plants becoming weaker and even potentially dying off. Typically, weeds tend to grow throughout the early autumn, but you can help kill them off during this time with an effective weed killer, thus keeping your garden looking its best for the winter period. However, for the weed killer to work to its best efficiency, you should consider what time and weather conditions you're using the product. Weed killers often come in the form of a spray or liquid and use a mixture of potent chemicals specially designed to either prevent a weed from growing in the first place (pre-emergence) or kill them once they've already started growing (post-emergence). Which one you choose will entirely depend on whether you can already see weeds growing in your garden or if you want to prevent the problem firsthand. If you've not already sprayed a pre-emergence weed killer on your lawn by this time of year, you likely already have some weeds causing problems, in which case, you will need a weed killer that focuses on getting rid of weeds that have already begun growing. If you already have some weed killer on hand, you might feel the urge to run to your garden and start spraying the chemical without much thought. However, it's important to stop and think about the weather outside as certain conditions can prevent some weed killers from working properly. For example, if you spray it in the late morning or afternoon, you may find that there's more sunlight and heat. This can, overall, reduce the effectiveness of the spray as they won't have the time to be absorbed either through evaporation. Furthermore, if you spray the weed killer while it's windy outside, you may accidentally spray the powerful chemicals onto other plants, leading them to absorb it and potentially die off alongside the weeds. One study in particular that examined the use of glyphosate, a popular weed killer product, on giant ragweed found that it was least effective when applied at 6am and 9pm. However, it found that the chemical was far more effective when sprayed between 9am and 6pm. Similarly, a Cambridge study conducted in 2018 and 2019 found that weed killers such as glyphosate and dicamba were more effective from 'noon' to one hour before sunset. Keep in mind, though, that different weed killer products may be specially designed to be used at certain times and under certain conditions. Generally, if you read the back of the product, information will be provided on when it is recommended you use it.

Danny DeVito is fully embracing life as a grandfather. While chatting exclusively with PEOPLE at the 18th Annual GO Gala in Los Angeles on Friday, Oct. 17, the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star, 80, shared that he and his grandson, Carmine — whom his eldest daughter, Lucy Chet DeVito, welcomed in July 2024 — are “good buddies.” “I just got a bunch of toys for him. I got a couple of new books. And I got a couple of tennis balls,” the actor says of his gifts for his grandson. "Oh great, he loves a ball,” Lucy, 42, adds. When asked how he knows exactly what to buy for the 1-year-old, Danny quipped that he simply goes to the store and looks for “what I would like.” The actor is also a grandfather through his middle daughter, Grace "Gracie" Fan DeVito, who welcomed a daughter, Sinclair, in 2023. Danny shares Lucy and Grace, 40, along with son Jake, 38, with ex Rhea Perlman. Lucy tells PEOPLE that the Batman Returns actor is “obsessed” with being a grandfather, and says their family finds opportunities to “hang out all the time.” "[We] eat a lot of food and play,” she explains. “Carmine and him are best buds.” Danny previously opened up about the joys of grandfatherhood in a 2024 AARP video. In the clip, he shared that thanks to the little ones, he’s had plenty of “joy” to fuel his life. "In two years, my daughters have had a baby each, and since these babies have been born, you gotta tamper me down in the joy department," he said at the time. 'I'm just like, you know, busting." "There's that saying: 'A watched pot never boils.' So I apply that to my kids. I look at them all the time, because I don't want them to boil,” he continued. “I want them to take their time and grow.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The proud dad of three also shared that his growing family is one of his biggest motivators. "No matter what happens in your life, the main thing is that you've got family and friends. I'm very fortunate. Blessing showered down on me, and I wish it for everybody," he added in the clip. The Matilda star previously recalled how he found out about Lucy’s pregnancy with Carmine while they were starring together in the Broadway play I Need That. He shared on The Talk that Lucy revealed the news during their pre-performance chats “about how we were going to do the play." "One night, she sits in her spot and she's got her cup of tea," he said, noting that they were set to “go on” in 30 minutes. "She says, 'Dad, I got something to tell you. I'm pregnant,' " Danny recalled. "I just burst into tears."
The worst thing the San Marcos High School football team did Friday night in its Avocado League West showdown with Carlsbad was score too early. The No.9-ranked Knights scored a go-ahead touchdown with 6:42 to play in the game on a 15-yard pass from Kreet Makihele to Cutter Vorhees. It was Vorhees’ third TD of the game, including a 19-yard scoring catch and a 61-yard fumble return. That left No. 2 Carlsbad (8-0, 2-0) time to use its entire playbook. The Lancers then went 80 yards on nine plays, using 5:31 to score the winning touchdown on a 2-yard run by Darian Webb in a 31-28 victory. Webb had runs of 16, 11 and 10 yards on the drive before his score. Quarterback Eli MacNeal had completions of 21 and 11 yards. “We practice those last-minute drives a lot,” MacNeal said. “San Marcos really brought the pressure. It was a battle, but we managed get it done.” Both of MacNeal’s completions on the winning drive went to Ethan Meyerhoff, who finished the game with six catches for 129 yards, including grabs of 32 and 45 yards. “That last drive took a lot of energy,” Meyerhoff said. “San Marcos brought a lot of pressure, forced Eli out of the pocket. But we work on things like that, what to do when the quarterback is on the run. Basically, the receivers look for an open spot. That’s usually at the sidelines if Eli’s forced out of the pocket. “This was a battle, a very big win.” San Marcos (5-3, 0-2) still had time to win or tie the game. But the Knights, who were out of timeouts, couldn’t connect on a deep pass that could have been called a pass interference, saw Makihele sacked by Ashwan Cranford in a time-consuming play, and gained nine yards on a pass over the middle. With time running out, Makihele hit Zamar Reese for a big gainer near midfield, but the Knights were called for holding. A desperation, last-play catch-and-lateral was sniffed out by the Carlsbad defense. “Great game. Great effort, but it’s a loss and it hurts,” said San Marcos coach Tim Carroll.

AUSTIN, TEXAS - OCTOBER 18: Pole position qualifier Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing Second placed qualifier Lando Norris of Great Britain and McLaren and Third placed qualifier Charles Leclerc of Monaco and Scuderia Ferrari look on during Qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of United States at Circuit of The Americas on October 18, 2025 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Rudy Carezzevoli/Getty Images) Getty Images Max Verstappen once again went fastest in qualifying this weekend, taking pole position for Sunday’s race at the United States Grand Prix. Just hours after winning the sprint from pole, the Dutchman set a lap time of 1m32.510 to pip title rival Lando Norris to the top spot by 0.291 seconds, now having a chance to turn the championship on its head if he managed to convert it into victory. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc put in a solid performance to claim third place while teammate Lewis Hamilton secured fifth, with Mercedes driver George Russell sandwiched between the two in fourth. After a first-lap collision with his teammate saw both retire from the sprint, current championship leader Oscar Piastri suffered yet another rough outing in qualifying, managing only a sixth-place finish that gives an opportunity for Verstappen and Norris to pose a real threat to his title ambitions. Kimi Antonelli came in seventh for Mercedes, followed by Oliver Bearman, Carlos Sainz, and Fernando Alonso who rounded out the top 10. Sunday’s race is one not to miss, as it could shake things up in the drivers’ standings. After his sprint victory and McLaren’s double DNF, Verstappen now sits 55 points behind Piastri and 33 behind Norris. If he could maintain his strong run of form and his rivals keep tripping up, the gap could shrink even further heading to the final stretch of the season.

Palm Bay councilman Chandler Langevin was officially censured by the city council in a 3-2 vote following his controversial comments targeting Indians in the United States. While Langevin deleted one of his offensive posts, he refused to apologize and defended all his remarks. After the censure, he announced plans to sue the council. The censure limits Langevin’s powers in the council. He can still place items on the agenda, but only if he gets prior consensus from the council. He is also barred from speaking during committee and council reports, except when requesting approval to discuss future agenda items. Controversial Social Media Posts Langevin sparked outrage with social media posts claiming, “There’s not a single Indian that cares about the United States. They are here to exploit us financially and enrich India and Indians. America for Americans.” He later clarified that he was referring to temporary visa holders, not the entire Indian-American community. Despite criticism, Langevin continued posting controversial remarks, including one on October 2 saying, “Today is my birthday and all I want is for @realDonaldTrump to revoke every Indian visa and deport them immediately. America for Americans.” These posts led to public outrage and calls for his resignation. Reactions From Council And Public Mayor Rob Medina, a council member, criticized Langevin’s remarks during the council meeting, emphasizing that the US was founded on immigrants and that everyone is part of the country’s fabric. He highlighted the importance of unity and inclusion in American society. Langevin, in an interview with The Washington Post, defended his statements as an attempt to spark discussion on immigration policies. He said, “I’m not the first Republican to make a mean tweet” and described the council’s censure and criticism from fellow Republicans as “reprehensible,” accusing them of trying to stifle different viewpoints. Despite the backlash, Langevin said he has no intention of stepping down from his position. “I’m not going anywhere,” he declared, signaling that the controversy is far from over.
