A leading nonprofit dedicated to consumer information is launching a seven-figure ad campaign against what it is calling the ‘wokest insurance company’ in the country.

In a letter to the Department of Justice and Treasury Department, Consumers’ Research alleges that Chubb Insurance has ‘ongoing practices’ which go against the Trump administration’s agenda but ‘very likely the Civil Rights Act and other federal anti-discrimination laws.’

‘Chubb Insurance is all-in on pushing radical woke ideology. CEO Evan Greenberg openly opposes basic protections for women’s spaces, attacks democratic laws, continues to embrace DEI, and props up groups that expose kids to dangerous transgender activism,’ Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers’ Research, said in a statement exclusively to Fox News Digital.

‘On climate, Chubb has a history of weaponizing insurance coverage to hurt America’s energy industry, cutting support for coal and natural gas to chase leftist climate fantasies. Woke corporations like Chubb are going to extremes and ordinary Americans are paying the price,’ Hild continues.

Consumers’ Research is highlighting several past comments from leaders at the insurance company, including Executive Vice President and General Counsel Joseph Wayland saying in a LEADERS Magazine interview in 2021 that ‘Diversity, equity and inclusion are the foundation of our Chubb culture.’

‘I am concerned about my country’s America First brand of nationalism and its impact on our image and leadership in both trade and geopolitics in the short and potentially longer term,’ Evan Greenberg, CEO and Chairman of Chubb Insurance, wrote in a letter in a 2017 report, according to Carrier Management. 

Greenberg also criticized Trump’s America First platform in an interview with Carrier Management in 2021 and criticized the president’s trade policies. 

When it comes to the company’s business practices, NPR reported in 2019 that the insurance company would not underwrite coal facilities anymore. As recently as March 2025, the company put forth strict guidelines in order for it to underwrite in the oil and gas industry.

On its website, Chubb said it will not ‘underwrite the construction and operation of new coal-fired plants or new risks for companies that generate more than 30% of their revenues from coal mining or energy production from coal’ and began ending coverage for ‘existing coal plant risks’ that go above the 30% mark as of 2022.

‘Chubb recognizes the reality of climate change and the substantial impact of human activity on our planet,’ Greenberg stated, according to the company’s website. ‘Making the transition to a low-carbon economy involves planning and action by policymakers, investors, businesses and citizens alike. The policy we are implementing today reflects Chubb’s commitment to do our part as a steward of the Earth.’

On its webpage, Chubb discusses ‘Advancing Racial Justice,’ where the company touts its support of an organization called Equal Justice USA (EJUSA), which openly supported convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

According to that same webpage, the company believes ‘racial justice and equity is both an individual journey and collective duty.’

‘We believe in being anti-racist because a rejection of racism alone is insufficient,’ the website states. 

The company also says on that web page that it has curated a series of programs for employees instructing them how to ‘combat racism.’ 

As for the advertisements themselves, there will be a national television ad in addition to mobile billboards outside their offices in Washington D.C., New York City and New Jersey, as well as Capitol Hill. The campaign will also live on the website WokeChubb.com.

‘Dear conservatives, Chubb Insurance is for: DEI in Everything They Do, Radical Climate Ideology, Trans Activism,’ one ad states. ‘Chubb Insurance is against: The American First Agenda, U.S. Energy Producers, 2nd Amendment Advocates.’

Chubb’s business spans across 54 countries and territories, all 50 states, and employees over 40,000 people worldwide.

The company, based out of Zurich with a U.S. headquarters in New York City, did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. 

German authorities arrested three alleged Hamas members on suspicion of plotting attacks on Israeli or Jewish institutions in Germany, officials told The Associated Press.

Two of the suspects arrested on Wednesday are German citizens. The federal prosecutor’s office described the third as being born in Lebanon.

They were only named as Abed Al G., Wael F. M. and Ahmad I., in accordance with German privacy rules. The trio is set to appear in court on Thursday. 

‘In the course of today’s arrests, various weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle and several pistols, as well as a considerable amount of ammunition, were found,’ federal prosecutors said in a statement obtained by Reuters. 

A security source told Reuters the three were in their 30s or 40s.

Germany is one of Israel’s strongest allies due to the legacy of the Holocaust and security is tight at synagogues and other Jewish institutions. It did not join France, Britain and several other countries last month in defying Israel’s wishes and recognizing Palestinian statehood.

Hamas has not yet responded to a 20-point plan for Gaza by U.S. President Donald Trump, which includes disarmament of the militant group.

In February, four Hamas members suspected of plotting attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe went on trial in Berlin in what prosecutors described as the first court case against militants of the Palestinian group in Germany.

Neither Republicans nor Democrats blinked less than 24 hours into a government shutdown as an attempt to pass a government funding extension failed again Wednesday.  

Despite Republican leaders signaling confidence that more Democrats would cross the aisle, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus blocked the GOP’s continuing resolution (CR) for the third time with a 53-45 vote.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., plans to bring the same bill to the floor again and again in a bid to crank up pressure on Senate Democrats. The Senate is expected to leave town on Thursday to observe Yom Kippur but will return Friday to continue voting. In order to advance the bill, Thune needs at least 60 votes to smash through the Senate filibuster.

There were glimmers of hope on Tuesday that more Democrats would break ranks and vote for the bill when Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., and Angus King, I-Maine, joined Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., to vote for the bill.

However, that trio remained the only members of the Democratic caucus that crossed the aisle on Wednesday.

‘We are just one Senate roll call vote away from ending the shutdown,’ Thune said. ‘We need a handful of Democrats to join Republicans to reopen the government. And once we do that, then we can talk about the issues that Democrats are raising. But we’re not going to engage in bipartisan discussions while Democrats are holding the federal government hostage to their partisan demands.’

The GOP’s ranks held, too, save for Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, who again voted against the bill.

Schumer and Senate Democrats still appear firmly entrenched in their position that they want an extension to expiring Obamacare tax credits and to be cut into negotiations on the short-term funding bill.

Schumer said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote that Democrats weren’t ready to budge and blamed the shutdown on Republicans. 

‘Democrats want to avert this crisis, but Republicans tried to bully us, and it’s clear they can’t,’ he said. ‘They don’t have the votes.’

Congressional Republicans and the White House have accused Democrats of shutting the government down in a bid to give illegal immigrants healthcare, a point that Schumer rejected. 

‘That is a damn lie,’ he said. ‘Not $1 of Medicare, Medicaid or [Obamacare] is allowed to go to undocumented immigrants, not a dollar. So why do they keep saying this? This seems to be their theme, because they’re afraid to talk about the real issue. It’s a typical Republican response: Have a diversion, try to scare people emotionally.’

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, panned Schumer and Democrats’ blockade as ‘grossly irresponsible.’

‘It reminds me of my 4-year-old granddaughter when she gets mad, when she kicks the sand and leaves the sandbox, and they can’t have their way,’ he said. ‘It’s ridiculous.’

Their own counter-proposal was also blocked, again, on Wednesday, which included a permanent extension to the credits, a repeal of the healthcare title in President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill,’ and a clawback of canceled funding for NPR and PBS.

But the crux of their wishlist is focused on the Obamacare tax credits. They do not expire until the end of this year, but Democrats warned that Americans who are enrolled in the healthcare program and rely on the subsidies would see their rates skyrocket by an average of 114% if Congress did not act.

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, argued that Democrats’ position was not some ‘sort of cooked-up demand.’

‘The reason that we are trying to take action now on healthcare is because people’s premiums are going up this coming week,’ he said.

Meanwhile, Trump warned ahead of the vote that his administration and the Office of Management and Budget, led by Director Russ Vought, could do things ‘that are irreversible,’ like mass firings and cutting programs favored by Democrats.

Vought and the OMB sent out a memo last week that directed agencies to implement mass firings beyond the typical furloughs that happen during a shutdown. And the Congressional Budget Office projected that about 750,000 employees would be furloughed per day at a cost of roughly $400 million in daily back pay. 

The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to review President Donald Trump‘s effort to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and will allow her to remain in her spot on the board until oral arguments can be heard in January, the court said — delivering a long-awaited update on a high-profile case, and one expected to have significant political and economic implications for the nation’s central bank.

The update comes roughly two weeks after Trump officials appealed the case to the high court for emergency review. 

Oral arguments are expected to be closely watched, given the unprecedented nature of the case, and the seismic shift that any ruling could have on U.S. economic decisions. 

In appealing the case to the Supreme Court, lawyers for the Trump administration argued that the Fed’s ‘uniquely important role’ in the U.S. economy only heightens the government’s and public’s interest in reviewing the case.

‘Put simply, the president may reasonably determine that interest rates paid by the American people should not be set by a governor who appears to have lied about facts material to the interest rates she secured for herself — and refuses to explain the apparent misrepresentations,’ Solicitor General D. John Sauer said Thursday in the appeal.

The review of Cook’s case is significant. Trump’s attempt to fire Cook marked the first time in the bank’s 111-year history that a president has ever attempted to remove a sitting governor from Fed — a stridently independent body whose members are shielded by law against political pressures.

The court’s decision to take up the case comes weeks after U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb issued a preliminary injunction last month blocking Trump from firing Cook from the Fed while the case continued to play out in court.

She ruled that Trump had failed to satisfy the stringent requirements needed to remove a sitting Fed governor ‘for cause,’ and that Cook could not be removed for conduct that occurred prior to her appointment to the Fed. 

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit voted 2-1 in September to to deny Trump’s request for intervention, prompting the administration to kick the case to the Supreme Court for emergency review.

The Supreme Court update comes as Trump has for months pressured the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates, in a bid to help spur the nation’s economic growth. 

But his attempt to fire Cook for alleged mortgage fraud violations, which she has denied, has teed up a first-of-its-kind court clash that could have profound impacts on the Fed. 

Cook’s lawyers have argued that Trump’s attempt to fire her well before the end of her 14-year term is an attempt to install a nominee of his choosing and secure a majority on the Fed board. 

Cook sued Trump in late August for his attempt to fire her, arguing that his removal violated her due process rights under the Fifth Amendment, as well as her statutory right to notice and a hearing under the Federal Reserve Act, or FRA — a law designed to shield members from the political whims of the commander in chief or members of Congress. 

The Supreme Court has sided with Trump on similar cases in the past.

The Supreme Court in May allowed Trump to proceed with the provisional firings of two independent board members — National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board member Cathy Harris — two Democrat appointees who were abruptly terminated by the Trump administration.

But even that decision sought to differentiate these boards from the Fed, which they stressed was a ‘uniquely structured, quasi-private entity that follows in the distinct historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the United States.’

The blame game over the first federal government shutdown in seven years is intensifying.

With neither President Donald Trump and the Republican majority in Congress, nor congressional Democrats, willing to lower the temperature, the government shut down at midnight Tuesday.

And both sides are blasting each other in a verbal fistfight with plenty of policy and political implications as next year’s battle for Congress heats up.

‘IT’S MIDNIGHT. That means the Republican shutdown has just begun because they wouldn’t protect Americans’ health care. We’re going to keep fighting for the American people,’ Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer posted on social media as the shutdown began.

Republicans countered, blaming Schumer and Democrats for the shutdown.

‘This is basically Chuck Schumer,’ Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday in an interview on Fox News’ ‘Fox and Friends.’ ‘He’s worried he’s going to get a primary challenge from AOC [Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez].’

Democrats insisted that any agreement to prevent a government shutdown, or now to end the shutdown, must extend tax credits for the popular Affordable Care Act (ACA) beyond the end of this year. Those credits, which millions of Americans rely on to reduce the costs of health care plans under the ACA, which was once known as Obamacare, are set to expire unless Congress acts.

But most Republicans oppose the extension of the credits and argue that the Democrats’ demands would lead to a huge increase in taxpayer-funded healthcare for immigrants who entered the country illegally.

‘I think it’s important for the American people to realize that the far-left faction of Senate Democrats shut down the government because we wouldn’t give them hundreds of billions of dollars for health care benefits for illegal aliens,’ Vance said in his ‘Fox and Friends’ interview.

Hours before the shutdown, a new national poll indicated that nearly two-thirds of American voters said that the Democrats in Congress shouldn’t force a federal government shutdown if their demands are not met.

But the New York Times/Siena poll also indicated that voters would blame Republicans and Trump, as well as Democrats, for a government shutdown.

But Schumer, speaking with FOX Business on Wednesday morning, argued that ‘the American people are on our side, completely and totally. They don’t want their healthcare decimated.’

And he charged that the White House and congressional Republicans ‘have refused to talk to us. They should come and talk to without conditions because the American people are suffering. Their health care is in shambles.’

While all sides are in the hot seat, the one feeling the most heat may be the 74-year-old Schumer, who has led the Senate Democrats for nearly a decade. 

The shutdown appears to offer the Democrat from New York a second chance, or a do-over. 

This after he faced fierce backlash from the Democratic Party base, which hungers for more vocal opposition to Trump’s unprecedented second-term agenda after his move to vote with Republicans to avoid a government shutdown this past spring.

Schumer’s move raised questions about whether he would face a leadership challenge in 15 months, and whether he’d face a primary challenge from progressive rock star Ocasio-Cortez when the senator is up for re-election in 2028.

‘There is one reason and one reason alone that Chuck Schumer is leading the Democrats off this cliff. He is trying to get political cover from the far-left corner of his base. He’s afraid of a challenge for his Senate seat by AOC or someone like that,’ House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed in a Wednesday interview on Fox Business’ ‘Mornings with Maria.’

But Schumer, in a joint statement with House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as the government shut down, pinned blame on Trump and the GOP ‘because they do not want to protect the healthcare of the American people.’

‘Over the last few days, President Trump’s behavior has become more erratic and unhinged. Instead of negotiating a bipartisan agreement in good faith, he is obsessively posting crazed deepfake videos,’ the top two Democrats in Congress and fellow New Yorkers, argued. ‘The country is in desperate need of an intervention to get out of another Trump shutdown.’

With the battles for the House and Senate majorities in next year’s midterm elections drawing closer, the blame-game over the shutdown quickly reached the campaign trail.

The Democrat-aligned outside group Majority Forward launched paid ads targeting Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who will likely face a challenging re-election next year.

And the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Senate GOP re-election arm, fired up paid ads targeting Democratic Sen. Jon. Ossoff of Georgia, who is considered the most vulnerable Democrat running for re-election in the 2026 midterms.

In the battle for the House, where Republicans aim to defend their fragile majority, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee quickly went up with digital ads taking aim at 35 Republican-controlled districts they consider in play.

And as first reported by Fox News Digital, the rival National Republican Congressional Committee launched ads across 42 districts, hitting Democrats over the government shutdown.
