Ex-West Point cadet sued for secretly drugging pregnant girlfriend with abortion pills

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 20:48:23 -0500

A former West Point cadet who admitted to secretly drugging his pregnant girlfriend and administering abortion medication to her without her knowledge or consent is now being sued over the 2022 incident.

The woman, identified as "Jane Doe" in court documents, sued Caleb T. Suh in New York Supreme Court on Oct. 28, accusing him of assault and battery and seeking damages.

Doe and Suh were cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point when Doe learned she was pregnant in January 2022, according to the complaint.

The lawsuit alleges Suh repeatedly pressured Doe to have an abortion, while she told him she intended to keep the baby. Suh later appeared to support her decision but allegedly used her identification to create an online pharmacy account in her name and obtain abortion medication without her knowledge.

WOMAN HELD DOWN, FORCE-FED ABORTION PILLS AT HEART OF ‘HELL ON EARTH’ FIGHT OVER BIDEN-ERA POLICY

On Feb. 4, 2022, Suh brought a drink he described as a pregnancy protein shake to Doe's barracks room, according to the complaint. She became sick and drifted in and out of consciousness after drinking it.

Suh later admitted in federal court that he administered abortion medication to Doe without her knowledge or consent. Hours later, Doe became seriously ill and was taken to a hospital, where doctors confirmed she was suffering a miscarriage.

Doe reported the incident to the Army Criminal Investigation Division at West Point in May 2022.

Suh was charged in federal court in June 2026 and pleaded guilty June 30 to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a dating partner.

Suh admitted creating an online pharmacy account using his girlfriend's identity to obtain abortion medication without her knowledge or consent. He also admitted to obtaining Xanax to sedate her before administering the abortion pills.

"My intent was use the Xanax to unwittingly sedate my girlfriend so that I could then administer the abortion pills, which I had obtained via the online pharmacy," Suh said, according to the complaint.

Suh also admitted deceiving his girlfriend into believing he supported the pregnancy before giving her the medication. He acknowledged that she later miscarried "as a result of the abortion pills that I had administered without her knowledge and consent."

After leaving West Point, Suh attended Cornell University, graduating in May 2026, before enrolling in a master's program at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.

A spokesperson for Cornell told Fox News Digital that when Suh was admitted as a transfer student, he answered "No" when asked whether he had been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at a previous school. Cornell said his previous university had reported he was in good academic standing and eligible to return.

A person with knowledge of the matter told Fox News Digital that Columbia was unaware of Suh's status until the New York Times contacted the university Friday and that the school took swift action. Applications to the school do not require applicants to disclose prior criminal convictions, the person said.

Suh asked a federal judge in October to postpone his sentencing until January 2027, in part to complete his semester at Columbia. Federal prosecutors did not oppose the request, and U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern granted it.

Doe is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

"Our complaint sets out that our client was forced to endure an unimaginable trauma and was robbed of a pregnancy she wanted, while Mr. Suh has since managed to attend not one, but two ivy league schools. We are outraged on her behalf and plan to aggressively pursue justice," Russell Kornblith, partner at Wigdor LLP, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

West Point and an attorney for Suh did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

JD Vance says Haley Stevens' endorsement of GOP's Mike Rogers will 'certainly' help Michigan Senate race

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 20:39:04 -0500

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Vice President JD Vance addressed Rep. Haley Stevens’, D-Mich., endorsement of GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers over his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, saying that he believes the endorsement will "certainly" help Rogers in the midterm.

Vance spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews following two rallies for GOP candidates in New York and Ohio, responding to a question from Fox News Digital about the impact that Stevens’ endorsement will have on the race.

"I certainly think it helps," Vance said. "I mean, the message is whether you're a reasonable Democrat, a Republican, a conservative, an independent or just a liberal who loves the United States of America. El-Sayed is a crazy person and Mike Rogers is a patriot."

MICHIGAN DEM CLAIMS STEVENS SHOT DOWN ROGERS ENDORSEMENT RUMOR HOURS BEFORE TURNING ON EL-SAYED

"I do think it drives home the message, maybe gives certain voters who, you know, wouldn't normally vote for a Republican permission, knowing that the Democratic Congresswoman of Michigan is going to support Mike Rogers."

The vice president then emphasized that Rogers is a "good guy" and said he believes Michiganders are seeing El-Sayed as a "crazy guy" that would not be good for the state.

EL SAYED'S LEFT-WING ALLIES ATTACK 'EVIL' STEVENS AFTER BOMBSHELL ROGERS ENDORSEMENT

Stevens endorsed Rogers on Sunday, while taking a swipe at El-Sayed in the process.

"Hey Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away," Stevens said. "And he’s right, and that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign."

MAMDANI, HASAN PIKER AMONG RADICAL LEFT-WING VOICES ERUPTING OVER HALEY STEVENS' ENDORSEMENT SWITCH

Both El-Sayed and Rogers penned opinion pieces for Fox News Digital on Monday ahead of Election Day, with the two candidates laying out their reasoning for entering the race.

"I’m running for Senate because no Michigander deserves to be left behind," El-Sayed wrote. "That’s why we’ve held over 700 events in over 120 cities. I’ve sat down with Michiganders from all walks of life, all of whom are hurting from the Rogers-Trump agenda and are hungry for change."

EL-SAYED, ROGERS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, TRUMP AND GUNS: 5 FIERY DEBATE MOMENTS

Rogers didn’t spare El-Sayed from criticism in his piece, noting his Democrat opponent's connection to far-left communist streamer and activist Hasan Piker.

"As a former Army officer and FBI street agent, I would never have imagined that I would be running against someone who associates with terrorist sympathizers. El-Sayed has invited someone to our state who openly proclaims, ‘America deserved 9/11.’ He took donations from individuals linked to terrorist organizations."

ABDUL EL-SAYED REPORTEDLY CALLED HASAN PIKER WARNING HIS RHETORIC WAS 'COSTING' VOTES

Stevens also criticized El-Sayed’s connection to Piker following her endorsement of Rogers, and has previously said Piker "should be condemned" for his extremist views.

During a livestream in May, Piker directed investigators to Neville Roy Singham as a target of subpoenas issued by the Treasury Department, saying Singham’s "operation" in the U.S. includes the openly Marxist ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, known as PSL.

"I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink — like anything that he has ever financed," Piker said. "Not sure how much money he has now, but he's been a funding vehicle for a lot of political movements in the country, like a lot of activism, and they hate that s---, so they're trying to jam them up."

HASAN PIKER BRUSHES OFF DEMS WHO SEE HIM AS A LIABILITY, NAMES HIS '28 CHOICE

A Fox News Digital investigation found that Singham has pumped $285 million into six organizations including $22.44 million to the People’s Forum, a hub for communist organizing in New York City; $1.33 million to CodePink; $68.7 million to Justice and Education Fund Inc., a nonprofit that funnels money to anonymous projects overseas; $1.098 million to BreakThrough BT Media, a propaganda arm; and $16.76 million to Tricontinental Ltd., a pro-communist think tank. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and ANSWER Coalition share office space at the People's Forum and share leadership with the People's Forum.

After Vance returned to Joint Base Andrews in Washington, D.C., on Monday afternoon, El-Sayed and Rogers both held rallies in Michigan in a final message to voters.

HALEY STEVENS' ENDORSEMENT STUNT BACKFIRES WITH EL-SAYED SETTING SINGLE-DAY FUNDRAISING RECORD

On Vance’s final rally blitz, he spoke to voters in Ohio and New York, advocating for Jon Husted, Vivek Ramaswamy, Andrew Constantino, among others. He was joined by Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Donald Trump Jr. during his remarks.

Crowds of a couple of hundred supporters gathered at the two airport hangars where Vance spoke in the two states as he delivered his message encouraging Republicans to get out to the polls for Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Brandon Aiyuk hires Drew Rosenhaus to salvage NFL career after torching 49ers relationship

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 20:19:51 -0500

Brandon Aiyuk wants back in the NFL, and he just hired football’s premier fixer to clean up his self-inflicted mess.

The estranged 49ers wideout officially signed with Drew Rosenhaus on Monday to jump-start his stalled career at age 28.

Aiyuk has not played a down since blowing out his knee against Kansas City in October 2024.

From that moment on, he did everything possible to destroy whatever leverage he had left.

After San Francisco voided roughly $27 million in contract guarantees in July 2025 when Aiyuk skipped mandatory team rehab sessions, he stopped showing up entirely. The team placed him on the reserve/left squad and reserve/did not report lists.

RODDY WHITE QUESTIONS 49ERS’ HANDLING OF BRANDON AIYUK AS RECEIVER'S FUTURE IN SAN FRANCISCO REMAINS UNCLEAR

Over the summer, Aiyuk took his grievances to social media, tried to force his release, and demanded a trade. Aiyuk openly campaigned to join former Arizona State teammate Jayden Daniels in Washington.

Aiyuk also faced an arrest warrant in June 2026 after posting a clip of himself hitting 104 mph in a 40 zone outside Levi's Stadium.

San Francisco never blinked. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan made it clear Aiyuk is done in the Bay Area. Asked in September 2026 if wide receiver injuries might force a reunion, Shanahan needed just one word: "No."

Washington slammed the door shut too, signing Stefon Diggs and killing Aiyuk's dream reunion with Daniels.

BRANDON AIYUK SHOUTS OUT COMMANDERS IN LATEST SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO AS 49ERS TRADE SAGA DRAGS ON

Before any transaction can materialize, Aiyuk needs formal league reinstatement before the 49ers can cut or trade him.

That is where Rosenhaus comes in.

NFL GREAT STEVE SMITH SR SAYS HE HAS 'NO DAMN IDEA' WHAT'S GOING ON WITH EMBATTLED 49ERS STAR BRANDON AIYUK

When a player burns his bridges, he is the cleanup guy brought in to save what is left of a career. His resume includes Terrell Owens doing driveway push-ups in 2005 while Rosenhaus repeatedly told reporters, "next question." He represented Antonio Brown through erratic exits across multiple franchises, and briefly took on Johnny Manziel before severing ties over rehab conditions.

Aiyuk had elite production in 2023, posting 1,342 receiving yards. But talent only protects a player for so long when matched with prolonged drama, missed rehab, and two full seasons away from contact. San Francisco holds his rights without paying him a dime. Rosenhaus has pulled off miracles with troubled receivers before, but Aiyuk wrote the book on how to alienate front offices across the league.

John Cena Classic to take place at Disney World as WWE stars hope for magical moment

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 20:17:50 -0500

The long-awaited John Cena Classic finally received a date and some details.

John Cena himself appeared on "Monday Night Raw" in Brooklyn, New York, and unveiled some of the details behind the event. He told the crowd at the Barclays Center the John Cena Classic will be held as part of a two-part "Monday Night Raw" on Dec. 14. While some members of the WWE roster will be in Perth, Australia, those competing in the John Cena Classic will be at the ESPN Wide World of Sportrs Complex at Walt Disney World fighting for the new championship.

"I have my heart and soul in this event. If you look at this award, there’s me," Cena said. "My name is on this event. This event encapsulates everything I stand for – perseverance, hustle, loyalty, respect."

Cena also announced the first invitee to the event: Cody Rhodes.

"The American Nightmare" and Cena were adversaries for the better part of 2025. Cena defeated Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, which gave Cena his record-setting 17th title. Rhodes eventually won the title back later that year at SummerSlam.

Cena told Rhodes he was "wrong" when he said Rhodes couldn’t handle the pressure that comes with being "QB1." He said Rhodes was doing it better than he ever could.

"This event is everything you are," Cena said. "Everything you stand for. I love you, bud. And I’m so glad to officially invite you to the John Cena Classic."

Cena is expected to appear on "Monday Night Raw," NXT, "Friday Night SmackDown" and Survivor Series: WarGames to announce more invitees.

The WWE star didn’t dive into the format of the classic at this juncture. He said fans who signed up for Club WWE will have an impact on the event.

Cena first made the announcement of the John Cena Classic back in May at Backlash. At that time, he said stars from each of WWE’s top brands would compete for a championship and the champion would be voted on by the fans.

WWE wrestlers who lose their respective matches could still end up the overall winner of the event.

More details about the event are expected to come over the next few weeks. Cena told Sports Illustrated in May that if he had to sum up his event in one sentence, he would call it, "WWE’s All-Star Game."

Four states vote Tuesday on ballot measures that could reshape girls' and women's sports nationwide

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 20:01:26 -0500

Four states have measures on Tuesday's ballot that could change who gets to compete in girls' and women's sports — and, in some cases, who gets to use their locker rooms.

Arizona and Nebraska already have laws restricting biological males from competing in female sports. A "yes" vote in either state would expand or strengthen those existing restrictions.

Washington and Colorado are different. Neither currently has the statewide sex-based restrictions proposed by these measures. If voters approve them, both states would establish statewide sex-based restrictions for school sports — a significant change in two traditionally Democratic states.

WHERE TOP DEMOCRAT SENATE CANDIDATES AND THEIR GOP OPPONENTS STAND ON TRANS ATHLETES IN WOMEN'S SPORTS

So what's at stake Tuesday? Here's a state-by-state breakdown of what the measures would do, what opponents are saying, how supporters are responding and what the betting markets are predicting.

Washington: Initiative 638

What a yes vote would do: Prohibit students defined as biologically male from competing in girls' K-12 interscholastic sports. Girls seeking to participate would have to provide documentation from a healthcare professional verifying biological sex based on "reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels."

As it stands, K-12 athletes in Washington can compete based on their gender identity under current eligibility rules, which allowed a boy in Camas, WA, to switch to the girls' team mid-season earlier this year.

What a no vote would do: Keep the current eligibility rules in place, without adding the initiative's new sex-verification requirements.

What opponents say: Organizations such as No Hate in Washington State argue that the initiative would discriminate against transgender students and could subject girls to invasive genital examinations.

NEW POLL SHOWS WASHINGTON STATE VOTERS ARE READY TO END BOYS COMPETING IN GIRLS' SPORTS

Proponents call the "invasive exam" argument fearmongering, saying that biological sex can be verified as part of a routine sports physical — something high school athletes have been undergoing for years. They also point to a simple cheek swab, which collects DNA from inside the mouth, as another possible way to verify biological sex.

Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: 64% market-implied probability of I-638 passing.

Colorado: Proposition 134

What a yes vote would do: Establish statewide sex-based participation requirements for school sports from K-12 through the college level. Athletes would generally compete on teams matching their biological sex, with exceptions for coed sports and girls joining boys' teams when no equivalent girls' team exists.

The measure covers public, charter and private schools, as well as colleges and universities. It applies to interscholastic and intramural athletics, including school-sponsored club sports.

Proposition 134 defines females as "a person whose biological reproductive system is organized around the production of ova" and males as "a person whose biological reproductive system is organized around the production of sperm."

Unlike Washington's initiative, Colorado's measure doesn't specifically require a doctor's note or medical examination to verify biological sex. Instead, schools would have to establish their own eligibility policies, with no verification method specified in the measure. The state education commissioner could take action against school districts that intentionally refuse to comply.

What a no vote would do: Maintain the existing eligibility system, allowing schools, districts and athletic associations to continue setting their own participation policies, subject to state and federal law.

What opponents say: Planned Parenthood and other opponents echo the concerns raised in Washington, arguing that Proposition 134 amounts to government overreach and "risks invasive gender checks for girls."

But as XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey — who chairs the campaign supporting Proposition 134 — has pointed out, 27 states already have restrictions on biological males competing in girls' sports. Sey argues that the invasive examinations opponents warn about aren't happening in those states.

Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: 55% market-implied probability of Proposition 134 passing.

Arizona: Proposition 318

What a yes vote would do: Build on Arizona's existing public school sports rules by expanding restrictions to private schools and athletic associations, including those overseeing youth and college sports. It would also require schools and athletic associations to restrict access to restrooms, locker rooms and other private spaces connected to athletics based on biological sex as recorded on an original birth certificate.

The measure would also allow athletes to sue schools and athletic associations that knowingly violate the law. It would retain protections for athletes competing on coed teams and would not categorically prohibit girls from participating on boys' teams.

What a no vote would do: Leave existing laws in place, keeping Arizona's current public school sports restrictions without expanding them to additional institutions or adding the measure's new requirements for private spaces.

What opponents say: Civil rights groups such as the ACLU argue that Proposition 318 singles out transgender students, could subject girls to intrusive questioning about their biological sex and opens schools up to expensive lawsuits.

Supporters counter that the measure closes loopholes in existing law, protects privacy and safety in locker rooms and bathrooms, and establishes consistent rules for fair athletic competition across the state.

Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: 82% market-implied probability of Proposition 318 passing.

SUPREME COURT MAKES RULING ON TRANS ATHLETES IN WOMEN'S SPORTS

Nebraska: Initiative 442

What a yes vote would do: Amend Nebraska's Constitution to prohibit biological males from competing in girls' and women's school sports, from K-12 through college. Schools would have to designate teams as male, female or coed, with female teams reserved for biological females.

The measure would apply to public schools and colleges, as well as private institutions whose teams compete against public schools.

Unlike Washington and Colorado, Nebraska already has a law restricting biological males from competing in girls' and women's sports. Gov. Jim Pillen signed the Stand With Women Act in June 2025. Arizona also has an existing law, but Nebraska's ballot measure would go a step further by putting its restrictions into the state constitution, making them harder for future lawmakers to overturn.

What a no vote would do: Leave Nebraska's Constitution unchanged. The existing law restricting biological males from competing in girls' and women's sports would remain in effect.

What opponents say: Groups such as OutNebraska and the Fairness for All campaign argue that the amendment would discriminate against transgender students and unnecessarily write restrictions into the state constitution when a law already exists. Opponents also point out that transgender athletes make up a tiny percentage of the state's population.

Supporters counter that putting the restrictions into the constitution would protect female athletes from future changes to state law. The Fairness for Girls campaign argues that allowing biological males to compete against girls creates safety concerns and can cost female athletes medals, advancement opportunities and scholarships.

Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: No Polymarket prediction found.

US will mediate upcoming Ukraine-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi, Witkoff says

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 19:47:08 -0500

U.S. officials will mediate a new round of talks between Ukraine and Russia next week with the goal of delivering "lasting security for generations to come," U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said on Monday.

Witkoff said the U.S.-mediated negotiations will be held on Nov. 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

"The United States will mediate working-level negotiations between Ukraine and Russia on November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi, advancing President Trump’s mission to end the war. Discussions will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace," Witkoff wrote on X.

INSIDE MELANIA TRUMP'S SECRET DIPLOMATIC ROLE IN THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE CEASEFIRE DEAL

Ahead of next week's peace talks, U.S. negotiators will meet this week in Brussels with representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the EU and NATO.

"Additionally, American negotiators will meet this week in Brussels with representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the EU, and NATO to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, Europe’s post-war security architecture, and economic opportunities to support Ukraine’s reconstruction," Witkoff said.

The push by the U.S. government builds upon earlier diplomatic discussions held in Kyiv, Oslo and St. Petersburg, as the Trump administration continues efforts to broker an end to the war following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

"We look forward to building on the progress made in Kyiv, Oslo, and St. Petersburg toward a comprehensive, durable peace agreement that delivers lasting security for generations to come," Witkoff said.

How a midterm tie gets settled in the case of the Senate

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 19:38:26 -0500

In the World Cup, they play overtime, then rely on penalty kicks to settle ties.

The National Hockey League plays a short overtime, followed by a shootout. NHL games used to end in ties. In the playoffs, the teams keep going – until there’s a winner. In the 2020 playoffs, the Tampa Bay Lightning finally topped the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 after a staggering five overtimes. In other words. They played nearly THREE total games. That’s the equivalent of 26 innings in baseball.

Speaking of Major League Baseball, teams play extra innings. And keep playing until one team is ahead and the home team has completed an at-bat in the bottom of the inning. MLB modified its rules a few years ago, introducing a "ghost runner" on second base to start the 10th inning. That’s an effort to end the tie and finish the game sooner.

If only there were a method to settle a tie in the U.S. Senate.

THE NINE KEY RACES THAT WILL DECIDE WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE, AND WHERE THEY STAND

Yes. In the case of a tie roll call vote, the vice president — who doubles as president of the Senate – can vote to break a tie vote. In fact, the VP doesn’t even have to cast a ballot if it’s a tie and the roll call vote is going the way he or she wants. By rule, tie votes go down to defeat in the Senate.

But what if we wake up Wednesday morning (if not Friday or Saturday morning or sometime in early December, depending on how hotly contested things are) to discover that the Senate is tied at 50-50?

There is nothing in the Senate’s 44 standing rules which serves as a tiebreaker. The Founders didn’t provide a system to bust up a tie and determine which side is in the majority or minority. And no, it’s not written down anywhere that the party of the President is automatically thrust into the majority.

Maybe soccer is on to something with penalty kicks. At least there’s a system. There’s nothing concrete to sort out which party controls the Senate if things are deadlocked at 50-50.

There was a tie was a Senate tie in 1881 after resignations and political maneuvering. The Senate was also tied for a period in 1954. Nearly ten percent of all senators died during the two-year Congress which stretched from early 1953 to early 1955.

However, the Senate featured two ties in recent Senate history. Both instances reflect what the Senate did to sort out which party captured the majority. One tie came after the 2000 election. The other in 2020. Both elections took a while to sort things out.

In 2026, Alaska, we’re looking at you.

It took until early December, 2000 to determine that Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., defeated then-Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., establishing a 50-50 Senate.

In fact, the tie for the Senate from the 2020 election wasn’t even established until two days into the new Congress on January 6, 2021. Yes. That was the day of the Capitol riot. Sens. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., and Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., both won runoffs to set the 50-50 split.

In early December, 2000, the Supreme Court finally settled the Florida election dispute between President George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. Republicans had held the Senate. But then Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., engineered a power-sharing agreement between the parties. This aligned with the election of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Lott would serve as the Majority Leader and the GOP technically had the "majority." But the bipartisan pact granted Daschle some special floor powers. Republicans chaired each committee. However, there was equal representation by both parties on each panel.

The full Senate had to ratify this agreement. And it did just that.

Such a process is subject to two filibusters requiring 60 yeas. One to bring up the proposal for debate. Another to terminate the debate. Then a simple majority to pass it. But none of that was a problem. The Senate greenlighted it with all 100 senators signing on.

Why such smooth sailing?

Republicans feared Democrats would stall the agenda of President George W. Bush. So they got on board. Democrats agreed because they knew they were kinda, sorta in the majority. Otherwise, they were relegated to an outright minority.

Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was well aware of those same dynamics in 2001. He insisted that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., propound – word-for-word – the same accord in 2021 which Lott and Daschle hammered out.

Which brings us to a potential tie in 2027. Is there the political will in the Senate – let alone the votes – to agree to such a compact? President Trump is still president. And Vice President JD Vance is still President of the Senate. What would they say about that? Unclear.

The Senate isn’t compelled to present a dedicated "majority" or "minority." The concept of a "Majority Leader" is relatively new – only dating back to the early 20th Century. The Senate is a body of "equals." Thus, the Founders didn’t expect one senator to wield operational control of the Senate. You won’t find the words "Majority Leader" anywhere in the Constitution. Just Speaker of the House and President of the Senate.

If there’s a 50-50 Senate and an impasse, could Vance suddenly have more power? Maybe. As President of the Senate, he can’t debate. He can only preside over the body and break ties. Moreover, would Vance even want to assert more authority? It’s unclear what that could be. And what would all of this do to his plans to run for president in 2028?

EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT HOUSE AND SENATE CONTROL, BALLOT MEASURES AND 2026 ELECTION DAY POLL CLOSING

In fact, a deadlocked Senate with no power sharing agreement could potentially hamstring Vance. It wasn’t that long ago that the Vice President spent much of his time presiding over daily Senate debates. But not anymore. If there’s no set majority, those responsibilities either fall to Vance, current Senate President Pro Tempore Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, or the possible Democratic Senate President Pro Tempore Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. The latter two are the most senior senators from their respective parties. The President Pro Tempore is third in line to the presidency, following the Vice President and House Speaker. A power sharing agreement is what helps determine who presides over the Senate. Otherwise, Vance may be moored in the Senate.

So there is precedent for settling a "tie" in the Senate. But it hinges on the political will of senators. And if there are disputes about seating Members – say the Alaska Senate race or another contest becomes a conflagration – one can anticipate a toxic climate on Capitol Hill. Few may be willing to sign on to anything.

The Senate relies a lot on history and precedent to do things. But absent political will, senators may just resort to rock, paper, scissors.

Or maybe, penalty kicks.

Bill Belichick doesn't have time for questions about relationship with Jordon Hudson after near Miami upset

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 19:19:20 -0500

Bill Belichick made it clear on Monday that he isn't answering any tabloid-style questions about his relationship with Jordon Hudson. The Big Js can keep those types of questions to themselves, because he's keeping the answers to himself.

News of the reported breakup between the 74-year-old North Carolina Tar Heels coach and the 25-year-old made the rounds over the weekend. The two are said to have called it quits more than a year ago, but "remain close friends."

They're still also reportedly in business together, but that's not Belichick's focus right now. The possibly single and ready to mingle ball coach has a college football season to get through and an improved team to coach.

That improved team of his gave the No. 1 Miami Hurricanes all they could handle on Saturday night in Chapel Hill after all this nonsense about his personal life made headlines.

According to the NY Post, WRAL reporter Brian Murphy, was the one who decided to ask Belichick about the Jordon Hudson relationship news and "what it might mean moving forward."

Anyone who thought Belichick had actually lost a step, or that nearly pulling off an insane upset of Miami was going to have him lower his guard any couldn’t have been more wrong. He's still got it.

"Do you work for a tabloid now?" Belichick said before adding, "I'll keep my personal comments and relationships to myself, if that's alright with you?"

Uncomfortable. Awkward. Perfectly Bill Belichick. You can't tell the full story of the coaching legend without it.

These types of moments in news conferences, the cutoff hoodies, and the 25-year-old ex-girlfriend/business partner are all as much of his story as all the winning he's done throughout his career.

Supreme Court denies Trump admin request to reverse block on segregating 20K California ballots

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 11:50:29 -0500

The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) on Monday rejected a Trump administration request to temporarily block lower-court rulings that denied requests to segregate more than 20,000 California mail-in ballots cast by people it says are likely not U.S. citizens.

Justice Elena Kagan denied the appeal on the eve of the midterm elections without comment, and did not refer it to the other justices.

The administration argued that the limited injunction would preserve the ballots while their eligibility is investigated, without canceling any votes. California and the federal government dispute whether the ballots are unlawful.

"Once illegally cast ballots are counted and commingled with lawful votes, the resulting harm is impossible to remedy," the Department of Justice (DOJ) wrote in a court filing.

JUDGE REJECTS DOJ REQUEST TO BLOCK CALIFORNIA FROM IMMEDIATELY COUNTING BALLOTS LINKED TO ALLEGED NONCITIZENS

The SCOTUS appeal came about after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the request Friday, with Judge Patrick Bumatay dissenting, as did a federal judge in Los Angeles last week.

The DOJ sought relief while the matter proceeds. California says its safeguards against noncitizen voting are robust and argues the federal list may contain errors that could disenfranchise eligible voters.

The lower courts also cited the state’s authority over election procedures and warned that granting the request could jeopardize the election.

On Monday evening, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., said it was "likely" the Trump administration violated the Constitution by taking over responsibilities for elections from the states and Congress.

Chief Judge James Boasberg issued an injunction blocking the administration from making requests from California over its mail-in ballots.

DOJ HAS VERIFIED 20,000 NONCITIZENS ON CALIFORNIA VOTER ROLLS, FEDERAL PROSECUTOR SAYS

The case stems from an Oct. 15 DOJ lawsuit alleging that California is impeding enforcement of a federal law barring noncitizens from voting in federal elections.

The administration says the state violated the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which generally gives federal law precedence over state law.

The dispute comes amid the administration’s broader push to influence how states run elections, including demands for access to voter rolls and warnings that officials could face prosecution for knowingly allowing noncitizens to vote.

Russia plotting 'massive strike' during midterms, Zelenskyy warns, urges US to stop Putin

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 18:35:21 -0500

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Monday that Russia is preparing a "massive attack" on Ukraine centered on Tuesday's midterm elections in the United States, accusing Moscow of seeking to exploit the historical vote to unleash strikes while the world's attention is elsewhere.

The Ukrainian leader's warning came as voters prepared to decide which party controls Congress, a result that could also influence Washington's future response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's almost five-year war in Ukraine.

In a post on X, Zelenskyy went on to urge the Trump administration to increase pressure on Moscow, warning that Russia could exploit the elections to target Ukraine's battered energy infrastructure and supply routes.

"We have intel that Russia is preparing a new massive attack on our country – primarily targeting energy and logistics," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address.

"The assumption is basically that tomorrow the world will be watching the American midterms, and what is happening here in Ukraine, along with our difficulties with air defense and Patriot missiles, will be overlooked."

Zelenskyy's warning came hours after Russian forces struck a school being used to distribute humanitarian aid in Komyshuvakha, a settlement in southeastern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region.

At least 26 people, including police officers and first responders, were killed, five others were injured and others remained missing, according to the Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda.

ZELENSKYY PRESSURES US AND EUROPE FOR MORE 'AIR DEFENSE' ASSISTANCE AMID ONGOING WAR WITH RUSSIA

In his X post, Zelenskyy urged the U.S. and its allies to warn Putin that continued attacks on Ukraine would bring serious economic consequences.

"We need signals from the world to Russia that will make them feel that terror is no good, that it will bring no gains, and that as long as this war continues, their oil will burn, and they will not be able to make money doing business with the world," Zelenskyy warned.

"We must not play games with Russia's oil or gas revenues," he added.

"We must put pressure on Russia in such a way that it has no alternative but to end this war. America can do this."

TRUMP ANNOUNCES IMMEDIATE ENERGY CEASEFIRE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE

President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has sought to negotiate an end to the war with the help of special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have been involved in diplomatic efforts with Moscow.

Zelenskyy told Fox News in a Sunday interview that Ukraine would suspend strikes on Russian oil refineries for a month if Washington provided Patriot missile interceptors during the same period, potentially opening the door to diplomacy.

The State Department approved the potential sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles to Ukraine for an estimated $2.1 billion, according to Reuters.

The proposed sale could provide a significant boost to Ukraine's air defenses if finalized, although the delivery timeline is uncertain.

TRUMP SAYS US WILL LET UKRAINE MAKE PATRIOT MISSILES IN MAJOR POLICY SHIFT

On Monday, Ukraine also accused Moscow of exploiting a U.S.-backed humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky, in Ukraine's southern Kherson region, to strengthen Russian military positions.

Nearly 800 people were evacuated during the six-day humanitarian pause, according to first lady Melania Trump, with the White House clarifying that she helped broker the arrangement.

Ukraine's General Staff accused Russian forces of using the humanitarian pause to rotate troops, reinforce their defenses and improve battlefield logistics.

"Under the ceasefire introduced for the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine ensured that the ceasefire was observed and acted exclusively within the framework of the agreements reached," the General Staff said in a statement on X.

EXCLUSIVE: Woman allegedly raped by illegal alien after Clinton-appointed federal judge ordered his release

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 18:32:49 -0500

EXCLUSIVE: An illegal alien who was released from immigration custody by a Clinton-appointed federal judge in August has been charged with allegedly raping a woman inside her own Minnesota home two months later, federal immigration authorities told Fox News.

Marcotulio Melendez Diaz, 42, of Honduras, was working as a handyman on Oct. 11, when he allegedly overpowered and repeatedly raped the resident against her will.

The assault inside the Mounds View home was captured on her indoor surveillance video, officials said.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) blasted U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia for ordering his release, arguing that the incident could have been prevented if Melendez Diaz had remained in custody.

ILLEGAL ALIEN ‘PIRATE’ WHO HIJACKED PLANE TO US FREED BY CLINTON-APPOINTED JUDGE

ICE URGES NEW YORK NOT TO RELEASE SALVADORAN NATIONAL ACCUSED OF RAPING 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL ON LONG ISLAND

"This is what happens when activist judges side with criminal illegal aliens over Americans," the agency said in a statement. "ICE arrested him, and an immigration judge ordered his deportation. But a Clinton-appointed federal judge ordered him RELEASED.

"And now an American woman has suffered a horrific crime that could have been PREVENTED."

ICE sources told Fox News that Melendez Diaz was initially apprehended and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in April 2024.

He was arrested again in Minnesota in January 2026, during Operation Metro Surge, and transferred to ICE detention in Texas, according to the officials.

On March 30, an immigration judge issued a deportation order against him, which Melendez Diaz appealed, the authorities said.

FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS DEPORTATION OF DOMINICAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SHOT BY ICE DURING NYC ARREST ATTEMPT

While the deportation order was under review, Garcia, a federal judge in the Western District of Texas, ordered his release from ICE custody after granting his habeas petition on due process grounds, finding that his detention had been unlawful or unreasonably prolonged.

The ruling allowed Melendez Diaz to return to Minnesota.

On Oct. 9, Melendez Diaz's appeal was rejected, and the Board of Immigration Appeals issued a deportation order against him.

Just two days after his deportation order became final, he was charged with rape.

Melendez Diaz was charged with felony first-degree criminal sexual penetration involving coercion.

He remains in custody and faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

Florida plane crash victims identified after 9 people killed in fiery wreck

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:57:03 -0500

A 20-year-old aspiring airline pilot and a Texas couple traveling with their two young children are among the nine people killed when a private jet plunged into a South Florida neighborhood Sunday.

Scientists discover potentially massive dwarf planet candidate hiding beyond Pluto

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:43:41 -0500

A powerful new telescope has discovered a dwarf planet candidate beyond Pluto — and scientists say it could be among the largest of its kind ever found in the reaches of our solar system.

The discovery, announced Oct. 27, was made using observations from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a newly operational facility located on a mountaintop in Chile.

The observatory, jointly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy's Office of Science, began its 10-year survey of the sky in June 2026, using the world's largest digital camera to search for previously unseen objects.

TREASURE HUNTER STRIKES GOLD WITH 1,000-YEAR-OLD DISCOVERY LINKED TO 'HAND OF GOD'

Researchers identified the object as 2026 ED138. They estimated it measures between 370 and 930 miles across.

"If confirmed, ED138 would be among the largest dwarf planets ever discovered in this region of the Solar System," the observatory said in a statement.

On Oct. 13, astronomer Matthew Holman was using computer software he developed with colleague Kevin Napier to search through telescope data collected earlier this year when he spotted the object.

"Using this method, Holman uncovered ED138, and he immediately noticed that its brightness and distance indicated that it is unusually large," the observatory said.

PUZZLING SOUND IN BACKYARD LEADS HOMEOWNER TO MASSIVE 1,000-YEAR-OLD TREASURE

In a statement, Holman described his reaction as "one of excited disbelief."

He added, "Objects like this are very rare, so I immediately started checking whether I or the code had done something wrong."

ED138 is currently located about 4.3 billion miles from the sun, farther away than Pluto, which orbits the sun at an average distance of about 3.7 billion miles.

Scientists classify ED138 as a trans-Neptunian object, meaning it orbits the sun beyond Neptune, the farthest planet in our solar system.

As for why the object had not been discovered sooner, officials said it was hiding in a crowded region of the sky near the Milky Way, where millions of stars made it difficult for earlier telescopes to detect.

"Rubin Observatory’s regular and continuous monitoring of the entire Southern Hemisphere sky, combined with powerful algorithms that sift through millions to billions of points of light to identify those corresponding to small moving objects, enabled the team to spot ED138 within the crowded field," the statement added.

Looking ahead, scientists hope to conduct further observations of ED138 to determine its exact size and whether it qualifies as a dwarf planet.

"If confirmed as a dwarf planet, ED138 would join a very small family of worlds," Holman said in a statement.

"Rubin will image the whole southern sky again and again for 10 years, so any others hiding in the places earlier surveys skipped are now within reach."

A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the sun and is large enough to be nearly round; yet unlike a full-sized planet, it shares its orbital region with other objects it has not gravitationally cleared away.

Pluto was considered the ninth planet in our solar system after its discovery in 1930, but was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

The newly identified dwarf planet candidate is among several recent discoveries shedding light on the mysteries of our solar system.

Earlier this year, scientists revealed that a meteorite that crashed through the roof of a New Jersey home in 2024 contained some of the chemical building blocks of life and was among the rarest space rocks ever recovered.

Spike Lee hopes the Knicks won't visit the White House, warns owner 'can’t force them'

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:41:03 -0500

Director Spike Lee told Variety he hopes the New York Knicks will refuse to meet with President Donald Trump, as other teams have done after winning championships.

The Knicks won the 2026 NBA Finals by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the championship series in June, ending a 53-year title drought for the franchise. Lee, a devoted Knicks fan and critic of Trump, was asked by Variety's Marlow Stern about reports that some players did not want to visit the White House and would rather skip the longstanding tradition.

"Apparently, the team owner, James Dolan, who we know is a Trump pal, is trying to force them to visit the White House, but the team doesn’t want to," Stern told Lee.

"He can’t force them!" Lee replied. "It’s been years since the last NBA team has gone. They’re not going. I hope they don’t go! I hope they don’t go."

"Trump also messed up Game 3 of the Finals for the Knicks," Stern argued. "They’d won 13 playoff games in a row until Dolan invited Trump to the game and ruined their mojo."

"That was not just an accident!" Lee responded.

They were referring to how Trump, a native New Yorker and longtime Knicks fan, was invited to attend the game at Madison Square Garden by Dolan. The Spurs won the game that day, and many New Yorkers, including "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin, blamed the Knicks’ loss on Trump’s attendance.

CARDI B CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP’S ATTENDANCE BROUGHT A 'DARK' ENERGY TO NBA FINALS GAME 3

Elizabeth Pipko, host of "Made in America with Elizabeth Pipko" and a former Republican National Committee national spokesperson, told Fox News Digital, "Of course, none of these players should ever be forced to do something they don't want to do. But I think there's a much bigger lesson here, especially for young Americans, and it's one Stephen A. Smith articulated very well after facing criticism for having dinner with President Trump."

"You don't have to agree with the president, you don't even have to like him," she continued. "But he is the President of the United States. And if you genuinely care about bringing Americans together, finding solutions, or improving the lives of people in your community, you have to be willing to sit down with people you disagree with."

"This is a lesson that’s incredibly important for young men to learn," Pipko added. "These are individuals who have large followings and should be focusing on inspiring the next generation and teaching them about what matters. Spike Lee's position puts political opposition ahead of an opportunity for dialogue, change, or opportunity. Nothing gets accomplished by staying home, refusing to engage, and acting as though you're somehow morally superior to people who disagree with you."

NHL and Fanatics unveil 'Hometown Remix' jerseys celebrating local culture for all 32 teams

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:35:22 -0500

Every team in the NHL just got a jersey upgrade on Monday, as the league and Fanatics unveiled "Hometown Remix," a league-wide special edition uniform, apparel and headwear program which "uniquely and authentically celebrates the fans, fabric and local culture of each NHL team and the cities the call home."

The NHL and Fanatics, which took over as the official on-ice uniform and authentic outfitter for the league ahead of the 2024-25 season, have worked together for the past two years developing each Hometown Remix connection.

"Few symbols in sports carry the history, pride, and emotional connection of an NHL sweater," NHL senior executive vice president and chief partnership and club strategy officer, Brian Jennings, said in a press release. "Hometown Remix builds on that legacy in a fresh and authentic way, celebrating the fans, culture and communities that make each NHL market unique.

"Together with Fanatics and our clubs, we’ve created designs that are rooted in local identity and tell a story about the cities and fans they represent. We’re incredibly excited to bring the program to life and see that passion reflected both on the ice and in the stands."

On the ice, the Florida Panthers, Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks will debut their new threads on Monday night, while each club will wear their respective Hometown Remix uniforms several times throughout the remainder of the season.

Designed from scratch, the NHL and Fanatics aimed to get details like local landmarks, motifs and culture more involved when creating the jerseys for each team.

For example, the Blackhawks have a vivid green base with the current logo and gold shoulder patches. Each sleeve features four debossed six-pointed stars – a nod to Chicago’s city flag.

Then, the Panthers’ jersey takes cues from your favorite graphic beach tee, with a front crest showcasing a remixed version of the throwback Panthers’ shoulder patch logo.

From the Winnipeg Jets’ full aurora borealis scene on the hem to the Boston Bruins having a brown jersey for the first time in more than 100 years, the league made sure to be grounding each look into something recognizable by each rabid fan base.

"Hometown Remix represents the most exciting initiative our team has designed and delivered with our partners since we hit the ice wit the NHL in 2024," Dom Fillion, vice president of creative design for Fanatics, said in a press release. "What makes this program so special is the collaboration with each club and together leaning into the history, culture, fabric and identity of every city and fan base to make sure these felt as authentic and personal as possible. We can’t wait to see them worn by the teams on the ice and the fans in the stands all season long."

This marks the first-ever league-wide program following this partnership, but Fanatics had previously designed special edition uniforms for several of the league’s marquee events , including the 4 Nations Face-Off, NHL Winter Classic, NHL Stadium Series, NHL Heritage Classic and the upcoming 2027 All-Star festivities. They also worked with several teams on their anniversary and centennial jerseys.

BOBBY BURACK: The anti-white resistance is already beginning for Cooper Flagg

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:20:31 -0500

Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg is 19 years old and already one of the best basketball players in the world.

Last week, ESPN analyst Jeremy Lin called him "generational" and said he and Victor Wembanyama could become the NBA’s next great rivalry.

Flagg has also drawn favorable comparisons to LeBron James at the same age, including from Brian Windhorst.

"In my view, Cooper is better at defense than LeBron was at the same age. I don’t even think it’s debatable," Windhorst said.

"There were defensive plays LeBron made at that age. He certainly would get into passing lanes, he certainly would block shots, he was a defensive playmaker, but Cooper is better defensively, empirically; I don’t think that’s debatable."

Flagg is averaging 27 points, six rebounds and seven assists during his second season.

A phenom of Flagg’s caliber should be a gift to the NBA as some of its biggest stars, including LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, approach the end of their careers. Instead, his rise may expose the worst instincts in sports.

Cooper Flagg is White. For some members of the basketball community, that is a problem. Former NBA player Charlie Villanueva is one of them.

Villanueva discussed Flagg’s rising stardom on the "To The Baha" podcast last week. According to Villanueva, Flagg cannot become the face of the NBA because of his skin color.

"This might sound crazy, but I don’t think in 2026 a White dude could be, I’m gonna be real, could be the face of the league, if I’m being honest," Villanueva said. "Because it’s a Black league, right?"

He then argued that a White player cannot become the best player in the NBA.

"When is the last time we’ve seen a White man be the face of the league? Don’t say Larry Bird, they had to pair him up with Magic," Villanueva said. "When was the last time a White man was single-handedly the best player in the league?"

That talking point was predictable. OutKick predicted it days after Flagg became the first overall pick out of Duke last season.

DAKICH: SPORTS MEDIA HAS CREATED AN ‘INDUSTRY’ OUT OF COMPLAINING ABOUT WHITE ATHLETES LIKE CAITLIN CLARK

For the past three to four years, several former Black players comfortably expressed belittling views of White players.

The hysteria surrounding Caitlin Clark began with the claim that her popularity and stardom resulted from "White privilege." Black players have called Luka Doncic a "bitch ass white boy" on the court. ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins falsely accused NBA MVP voters of favoring Nikola Jokic because he is white, likely costing him the award in 2023.

More recently, Stephen A. Smith claimed a team could not win a championship built around white players. Former broadcaster Mark Jones has posted several bigoted messages about Jokic. Gilbert Arenas has joked about exiling white players from the league.

ESPN has published several articles framing Jokic, Clark, and Doncic as "great white hopes," despite the evidence to the contrary.

The pattern is obvious. Anti-white bigotry has become accepted and, at times, rewarded in public discourse. It has been normalized since 2020.

Notice Villanueva’s wording: The NBA is "a Black league, right?"

STEPHEN A SMITH SHOWS HIS PRIVILEGE BY MOCKING LAKERS' ROSTER FOR HAVING TOO MANY 'WHITE DUDES'

That view echoes comments from Arenas and others who refer to the NBA as "our" league. These Black players appear territorial about the sport and seem threatened when white players succeed.

For context, consider what activist and social media influencer Dr. Umar Johnson said about Eminem in 2023. Johnson claimed Eminem should be excluded from the conversation about the greatest rappers of all time because of his skin color.

"No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It’s an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it’s an insult to every black person."

Johnson then claimed the black community should never have allowed Eminem into hip-hop.

"Eminem has all the privileges of a white male and all the privileges of being in the hip hop community, so we got to be careful about letting non-Africans into our community."

That is the message Black players send about White basketball players: Basketball is their sport. White people are merely their guests.

Of course, the premise is illogical. Basketball is not a black space. A White man created it. No sport or musical genre belongs to any race in America.

The popularity of both White and Black athletes and entertainers makes that clear. Normal Americans like Eminem for the same reasons they like Tupac, Biggie, or Jay Z. They like Jokic, Clark, Doncic, and Flagg for the same reasons they like LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant.

Unfortunately, people with the largest platforms too often promote an isolated worldview in which race determines who deserves admiration, legitimacy, and power.

Flagg could prove particularly polarizing.

The usual suspects tried dismissing Jokic and Doncic as international players. Flagg does not give them that option. He was born in Maine. He attended Duke.

His charismatic personality also gives him marketing potential that Jokic and Doncic lacked.

If Flagg emerges as a true face of the post-LeBron NBA, expect the race idolaters to react accordingly. They will resist him and diminish him with the usual racial buzzwords. They will cast his supporters as racists and sellouts.

Sound familiar?

Of course, it does. It's the response every great white basketball player now receives.

For Flagg, Villanueva's comments were just the beginning.

JACKSON THOMPSON: Maine girls speak out about facing trans athlete as state grapples with issue

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:18:15 -0500

Two Maine high school girls spoke out Monday about competing against transgender athletes, describing "crushing disappointment" and urging officials to protect their opportunities as their attorney announced plans for a federal civil rights complaint.

Reagan Wilson, a junior at Fryeburg Academy, and Morgan Clark, a junior and varsity soccer captain at Windham High School, addressed a news conference at the Maine State House in Augusta alongside advocates seeking a statewide vote on sex-based eligibility rules.

"Many girls and women are discovering the crushing disappointment that comes from being beaten in their own sports by males who should have never been allowed to compete in the first place," Wilson said.

TRANSGENDER ATHLETES HAVE TAKEN 2,293 CHAMPIONSHIP SPOTS FROM BIOLOGICAL WOMEN, NEW RESEARCH FINDS

Wilson, who said she has competed in swimming, cross-country, indoor and outdoor track, soccer and softball, described facing transgender competitors across multiple seasons.

"During my cross-country season, I competed against a biological male in many of my races. Most recently, I competed against a male playing on an all-girls soccer team," she said.

"This is unacceptable and has deprived me and so many other girls of equal opportunity to compete and win."

Clark, who said she has played soccer in Maine since she was 4, described the issue moving from something she encountered online to something affecting her own team.

COLORADO SCHOOL PARENTS SOUND ALARM AFTER DAUGHTERS WERE CUT FROM VOLLEYBALL TEAM WHILE TRANS ATHLETE PLAYS

"Last year, this sort of thing was something I only saw online, but now it’s something that I’m seeing in my own field," Clark said. "If it can happen to me, it can happen to you."

Clark pointed to an October tie against a team whose results had improved substantially over the previous season.

"In October, our team tied against a team we’ve easily outranked in past years, a team with a male athlete," she said.

Windham played South Portland to a 1-1 draw on Oct. 1. The Portland Press Herald reported that South Portland finished the previous season 3-9-2 and 14th in the regional Heal point standings.

A draft complaint provided to OutKick identifies a transgender player on South Portland’s girls’ soccer team as the focus of the athletes’ allegations. A scoring chart supplied for the planned complaint credited the player with 15 goals and 10 assists through South Portland’s Oct. 27 playoff game.

The draft alleges that Maine’s eligibility policies deprive female athletes of equal competitive opportunities. It also describes Wilson’s previous experiences in cross-country and indoor track and field.

At Monday’s news conference, Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Tavia Bruxellas McAlister said the organization would file a Title IX complaint that day on the girls’ behalf with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

The draft seeks an investigation of the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association, South Portland School Department and Windham Raymond School District, along with changes to eligibility policies and remedies for alleged past violations.

Both Windham and South Portland were eliminated in regional semifinals Friday, ending the possibility of another meeting during this year’s playoffs. The draft says both girls intend to play varsity soccer again next year and expect to face the South Portland athlete.

Maine’s policy dispute with the federal government predates the girls’ planned complaint. The Education Department announced a Title IX noncompliance finding against Maine in March 2025, and the Justice Department sued the state’s education department the following month over transgender participation in girls’ sports.

Maine officials and the MPA have defended their approach by citing the Maine Human Rights Act, which protects against gender-identity discrimination. The MPA’s published policy allows transgender students to compete according to either their birth sex or gender identity, but not both.

In June, the Supreme Court upheld state restrictions on transgender participation in girls’ and women’s sports. The Court expressly left unresolved whether schools may allow transgender athletes to participate on female teams, the separate question underlying Maine’s dispute.

The athletes appeared as referendum organizers announced another attempt to put restrictions before Maine voters.

Leyland Streiff, principal officer of the Protect Girls Sports in Maine ballot committee and a leader of Maine Girl Dads, said the group was submitting 4,836 additional signatures toward a place on the 2027 ballot.

Its earlier petition fell 532 valid signatures short of qualifying for this year’s election after a legal challenge and review. Additional signatures would require state validation.

The proposal would base eligibility for designated school teams and access to bathrooms, locker rooms and other private spaces on sex recorded on students’ original birth certificates. It would also allow students to sue over qualifying violations.

Clark said she hopes the effort changes the experience for her teammates and other girls.

"I hope that this referendum helps girls like me and my friends play the sport that we love fairly and safely," she said.

Actor Bill Murray stuns Trump's top economic advisor with bizarre question on news show

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:12:18 -0500

Actor Bill Murray posed an unusual question to National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett during an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Monday morning.

The "Ghostbusters" and "Groundhog Day" actor was on CNBC to promote his new six-part travel and golf docuseries "A Course Called Ireland," which premiered last week. Later in the program, Murray was invited by "Squawk Box" host Joe Kernen to ask Hassett a question.

"I would regret it if I didn’t take this opportunity," Murray said. "Could you just say the words, ‘My dog just died?’ I want to see what happens to your smile."

WHITE HOUSE ECONOMIST PROJECTS GDP GROWTH COULD TOP 5% AMID CAPITAL SPENDING BOOM

While continuing to smile, Hassett asked, "Oh, well, is it your dog or my dog?"

"Your dog," Murray answered.

"OK. My dog just died," Hassett said before giving a more neutral facial expression.

"We were gonna have someone go take your blood. We’re gonna call them off. Not gonna happen," Murray remarked.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Murray's representative for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

CNBC ANCHOR THINKS CEOS ARE 'VERY SCARED' TO CRITICIZE TRUMP BECAUSE THE FEAR OF RETALIATION

After the exchange, Kernen asked Hassett if he had a favorite Bill Murray movie. Hassett answered that "Groundhog Day" was a "fantastic" film and "one of the top five movies ever made."

Murray joked that other political figures likely agree with him, recalling an exchange he had with former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno about her time at the Department of Justice.

"She said, 'Bill, the first thing I do to everyone at Justice [Department] is I show them that movie and I say this is what your job is going to be. 'Groundhog Day,'" Murray recalled.

Hassett agreed with the sentiment, likening the idea of waking up on the same day to polling ahead of the midterm elections.

"It seems like every election, everybody's angry at each other. Everybody thinks this side is going to win. That side's going to win. And when it comes to Election Day, it feels like it could go either way," Hassett said.

Betr: Caleb Williams Rushing Yards (Higher)

Underdog is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to play $10 and get $50 in bonus entries. Seattle’s game plan doesn’t call for Darnold to win this game with his arm.

Bears vs Seahawks | Monday, Nov. 2, 2026 at 8:15 p.m. ET | Lumen Field, Seattle, WA | ESPN/ABC

The Bears have been the most dependable team in football for bettors. They’re 5-2 straight up, 5-2 against the spread and 2-1 ATS on the road. They’ve won two in a row, including a 30-24 win over New England, and Caleb Williams has played with the poise of a quarterback who’s ready for this kind of spotlight. Getting a field goal against a team that hasn’t dominated at home is a big part of the appeal.

The Seahawks are the champs, and Lumen Field on a Monday night is still one of the hardest road trips in the league. Mike Macdonald’s defense can turn this into a grind, and Chicago could be short-handed in the backfield with Kyle Monangai banged up with thumb and toe injuries. If Seattle keeps the game low-scoring and protects Sam Darnold, laying three at home looks reasonable.

The Total

The number sits at 46.5. Only three of Chicago’s seven games have gone over, and Seattle wants to keep this one from becoming a shootout. That makes the total as interesting a bet as the side.

Bears vs Seahawks | Monday, Nov. 2, 2026 at 8:15 p.m. ET | Lumen Field, Seattle, WA | ESPN/ABC

5-2: Chicago’s record straight up and against the spread. No team in the league has covered more often, and the Bears have done it on the road too, going 2-1 ATS away from home.

1-1-2: Seattle’s ATS mark at Lumen Field. The defending champs haven’t turned their home field into the edge it usually is, and they’re 2-3-2 ATS overall.

3 of 7: Bears games that have gone over the total. Chicago has mostly played tight, controlled games, which fits what Seattle wants to do on Monday night.

How This One Plays Out

Mike Macdonald’s best path is a low-scoring game where his defense dictates terms and Sam Darnold doesn’t have to carry the offense. Chicago wants the opposite. Caleb Williams has been efficient and dangerous on the move, and the Bears are riding a two-game win streak after beating New England 30-24.

The injury to watch is in Chicago’s backfield. Kyle Monangai missed practice with thumb and toe injuries, and a thinner run game would put even more on Williams in a hostile building.

Bears vs Seahawks | Monday, Nov. 2, 2026 at 8:15 p.m. ET | Lumen Field, Seattle, WA | ESPN/ABC

The Bears are 5-2 and have covered five times, the best mark in the league. They’re coming off a 30-24 win over New England and going for their third straight win. They’ve also been solid on the road, covering two of three away from Soldier Field.

Seattle won the Super Bowl last season, but the Seahawks are 4-3 and 2-3-2 against the spread this year. They’re just 1-1-2 ATS at home, which isn’t what you’d expect from a team that plays in one of the loudest stadiums in the league. Mike Macdonald will want to keep this game in the hands of his defense rather than ask Sam Darnold to win a shootout.

Where to Start Your Picks

Caleb Williams is the headline. His ability to make plays on the move puts his rushing number in play, especially in a primetime road game where scrambles tend to show up. Keep an eye on Chicago’s backfield, where Kyle Monangai missed practice with thumb and toe injuries. On Seattle’s side, Darnold’s passing line comes down to protection against a Bears pass rush that’ll be fired up for a national audience.

Bears vs Seahawks | Monday, Nov. 2, 2026 at 8:15 p.m. ET | Lumen Field, Seattle, WA | ESPN/ABC

Chicago has been the best bet in football this season. The Bears are an NFL-best 5-2 against the spread, they’ve won two straight, including a 30-24 win over New England, and Caleb Williams has given them efficiency and mobility at quarterback. A win in Seattle would put them in the conversation for the top seed in the NFC and one of the early Super Bowl favorites.

Seattle is 4-3 and hasn’t looked like the team that won it all last season so far in the early going. The Seahawks are 2-3-2 ATS overall and 1-1-2 at home. But, the Seahawks are coming off a convincing home win over the Chiefs. Mike Macdonald’s defense is still the backbone, and the last thing Seattle wants is a shootout that puts the game on Sam Darnold’s shoulders. Lumen Field on a Monday night is still one of the toughest places to play in the league.

Who to Build Picks Around

Williams is the obvious starting point. His legs make his rushing line worth a look, and the Bears have shown they’ll lean on him in big spots. Chicago’s backfield could be thin, with Kyle Monangai missing practice with thumb and toe injuries, so check his status before locking anything in. On Seattle’s side, it comes down to whether Darnold has time to find his weapons against a Bears defense that’s been opportunistic all season.
