Controversial mayor posts video with Biden just days after ripping colleagues for 'attacking on a Black woman'
Tiffany Henyard, the Democratic mayor of Dolton, Illinois, posted a video of herself at an event with President Biden just days after she was caught feuding with her fellow officials after questions were raised about her controversial spending.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Henyard has been living like a royal with a combined salary of nearly $300K – more than the state’s governor – and frequent use of beauty vendors, despite the 23,000 residents of the Illinois town having a median income of $24K. In addition to a hefty paycheck, Henyard has been criticized for how she uses the town’s credit card.
Henyard went on a tirade in a public meeting Monday, declaring, “I’m the leader,” and slammed fellow officials by saying that despite the fact “y’all are Black” they were nonetheless “beating and attacking on a Black woman that’s in power.”

On Thursday, the mayor posted an Instagram video of herself chatting with Biden from when she attended a press conference at the White House on Jan. 19, during the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ annual winter meeting.
The video featured narration taken from a popular social media personality giving life advice and saying, “You’re gonna hurt a lot of people’s feelings, and not even because you trying to be malicious, but every time they look up, they’re gonna see you winning, they’re gonna hate it.”
DEMOCRATIC MAYOR ACCUSED OF ANTICS SO WILD SHE DESERVES HER OWN TV SHOW: ‘REAL LIFE PARKS & REC SITUATION’
In the caption below her video, she wrote, “Stay Positive Stay focused Stay the course” with the hashtags “#IStandWithTiff #growth #loveforcommunity #leadership.”
Tiffany Henyard, the Mayor of Dolton, Illinois, confronted fellow lawmakers after being questioned about her spending and transparency.
Five days before, she had shared an image of text saying, “People will believe anything about you as long as it’s negative, but anything positive they question.”
In the caption for the photo she wrote, “It amazes me how people try to turn good into evil. But the devil is a lie. We must band together to fight this evil.”
She then declared that she is “giving away 1 Million Dollars to help people with their mortgage or rent” and people could apply to receive this aid.
The small town mayor, who has been accused of wild antics straight out of the sitcom “Parks & Recreation,” is being sued for alleged financial wrongdoing by Dolton trustees.

The Detroit Lions’ 2026 NFL draft class is in the books, and the team used seven draft picks to fill needs and add depth throughout the roster. General manager Brad Holmes got to work in the middle of the first round by grabbing their right tackle of the future, and then snagged a high upside edge in the second round. On Day 3, Detroit added more depth at linebacker, corner, slot receiver, and added a couple of defensive linemen.
Here’s a look at the team’s 2026 draft class:

7 Brew to open three Milwaukee-area stands
7 Brew is expanding with three new coffee stands in the Milwaukee area, offering energy drinks, smoothies, and unique coffee options.
The rapidly growing coffee chain 7 Brew has opened a new location in Milwaukee, bringing the drive-thru beverage brand its first — but not last — spot in the city.
On Thursday, April 23, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the location, at 350 W. Layton Ave.
The business will celebrate its opening with a “Swag Day” T-shirt giveaway for customers who purchase a large drink on Saturday, May 2.
“Milwaukee is such a vibrant and welcoming city, and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it,” said Tommy Pennington, a local 7 Brew franchisee.
Other 7-Brew locations will open later this spring or summer at 3702 S. 27th St. in Milwaukee and 5265 N. Port Washington Road in Glendale. They’ll join 13 current Wisconsin locations, including in Brookfield and West Bend.
Founded in 2017, the company offers coffee, energy drinks, smoothies, sodas and teas on the menus at each location.
By 2023, 7 Brew opened more than 100 stands and, by 2025, the number of locations increased to 500.
The National Transportation Safety Board says it is investigating after an airplane crashed near Minneapolis late Saturday morning. According to the NTSB, it was a Beech F33A that crashed.
Two people aboard the aircraft, according to the FAA. Local officials say that both people on the plane have passed away. The Brooklyn Park Police Department has been in contact with the family of the deceased. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the names of those on board.
Local fire crews were on scene within minutes of receiving the call, according to officials.
The Metropolitan Airport Commission confirmed that a single-engine aircraft departed from the Crystal, Minnesota, airport.
There are no details on what could have led to the crash. Local police and fire officials have already started an investigation and an NTSB investigator is expected to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday.
This is a developing story; check back for details.
