The Supreme Court has established a new nationwide precedent that allows states to protect women's sports. The justices ruled in favor of West Virginia and Idaho on Thursday against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls' sports. The states were backed by the law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), while the trans athletes were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Cooley Legal. In the highly-anticipated rulings on West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld state laws requiring student-athletes to compete on sports teams that correspond with their biological sex at...

Eighteen-year-old Leotha Bush thought, allegedly, that he was going to get one up on a group of workmen at a Memphis, Tennessee, home when he pulled a pistol on them earlier this month. In the end, he was the one who ended up tied to the rails of the front porch of the home. According to WREG-TV, Bush allegedly tried to rob the work crew in the Highland Heights neighborhood on June 8 using a BB gun that looked like a semi-automatic pistol. Bush had apparently walked up to the house and asked for a cigarette lighter, the station reported....

No lies detected here from Mr. Bob Odenkirk. Pretty amazing to hear one of Hollywood's most bankable stars of the past 15 years implicitly refer to the Founders as "a whole bunch of good people." Not something you're apt to see at the Oscars! Even better, it looks like this may be a series, perhaps leading up to the 4th of July. Thanks for showing us how it's done, Saul!

@WojPawelczyk Joseph McCarthy was right: "One communist on the faculty of one university is one communist too many. One communist among the American advisors at Yalta was one communist too many. And even if there were only one communist in the State Department that would still be one communist too many." (1952)

UnitedHealthcare has fired a woman who expressed sadness in a TikTok video that President Donald Trump was not killed in the Saturday shooting during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. In the video, she sarcastically asked, "Aww, they missed?" "We're cooked as a country when my first reaction to hearing the news about Trump's attempt was, ‘It was probably fake,’" Alison King, who has reportedly deleted her LinkedIn account but was identified as a social media manager for UnitedHealthcare, said in the video. "Like, immediately I was like, 'Oh, that wasn't real, probably fake,’" King said. "And the second was...

The Lions opted to part ways with Arnold less than a week after his arrest, mere hours after he was granted the freedom that would have allowed him to continue preparing for the season with the team as he awaited trial.

Today we remember Slim Pickens (born Louis Burton Lindley Jr.), born June 29, 1919. Best known for his memorable performances in Dr. Strangelove, Blazing Saddles, 1941, and One-Eyed Jacks, Pickens became one of Hollywood’s most recognizable Western actors and rodeo performers. Before entertaining audiences around the world, Pickens answered the call to serve during World War II, enlisting in the United States Army Air Forces.

47, on June 10 in Chambers County, Alabama, about 125 miles from his home in Macon, Georgia. The autopsy and investigation showed that “the female victim was strangled, and it appears the male was attempting to dispose of the body in a remote location,” Mike Segrest told Al.com. “He died of a heart attack while doing it,” Segrest said. “Their bodies were right there together.” Authorities believe Folds’ murder was the result of a domestic dispute, but it was not known where the strangulation took place. The bodies were found just a few miles from where the murdered mom lived.

Supreme Court refuses to review E. Jean Carroll’s $5M sex abuse, defamation verdict vs. Trump WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up President Trump’s appeal of the $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict that followed a lawsuit by former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. Now Trump will have no choice but to pony up the $5 million to the 82-year-old, who has repeatedly claimed that the president sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room during the mid-1990s.

A gator bit a child in Marion County on June 27, while an alligator bit a snorkeler in the Rainbow...

The moment came after Biden delivered one of his sharpest public critiques of President Donald Trump since leaving office. During his remarks, Biden defended his own administration's record while accusing the Trump administration of corruption. He also took aim at what he described as Trump's "vanity projects," including renovations to the White House, changes at the Kennedy Center and the ongoing saga with the reflecting pool on the National Mall. "Whoa, what a loser," Biden said. After pausing several times to cough throughout his remarks, Biden concluded with a call for Democrats to "fight back," saying the country could overcome...

@Independent Sir John Major has slammed "ragbag" Reform UK for its scapegoating of Muslims and migrants, claiming the party has nothing positive to offer Britain.

@TiceRichard Burnham’s coup is well underway. Big speech today with no questions from journalists. No debate in Parliament. No scrutiny from MPs until September. Power without accountability. Funny how Burnham demanded a General Election in 2022, but not now. We need a General Election.
