‘MAGA’ parent silenced at Maine school board meeting over trans athletes debate

A school board meeting in Maine’s capital city of Augusta on Wednesday night featured a contentious interaction between a parent in a “MAGA” hat and the school board president over the state’s ongoing controversy over trans athlete inclusion in girls’ sports. 

Augusta School Board Chair Martha Witham cut off local parent Nick Blanchard while he discussed the controversial issue and a petition he launched to have Cony Middle and High School Principal Kim Liscomb removed from her position, as seen in footage of the meeting.

Liscomb is currently the president of the Maine Principals’ Association (MPA), which supports transgender athletes’ participation in school sports based on gender identity and has been a subject of scrutiny by President Donald Trump’s administration over the issue. 

Blanchard, who showed up to the meeting in a “MAGA” hat and a T-shirt of Gov. Janet Mills that read, “You’re fired,” started his speech by praising the six of the seven members of the board who voted to adopt the 2020 interpretation of Title IX that did not allow trans athletes to compete as girls.

Blanchard also condemned the board member who voted against it, which prompted the first interruption by Witham.

“Good job and thank you to the six members that voted to go back to the 2020 interpretation of Title IX, and shame on the one board member that voted no,” Blanchard began.

Witham then cut him off, saying, “I’m sorry, but negative comments will not be allowed.”

Blanchard then proceeded to discuss his petition to have Liscomb removed.

“This petition is asking … if you the school board members will put up a vote,” Blanchard began before being cut off again by Witham. 

Witham told Blanchard that his statements would “not be tolerated” and warned him that he would be asked to step down from the podium if he continued making “defamatory remarks.”

When Blanchard asked how his remarks were “defamatory,” Witham responded by saying “I don’t have to explain it to you.”

“These comments will not be tolerated at the meeting directed toward us or to anybody else in this room,” Witham said. 

Blanchard then agreed to proceed with his speech without referring to Liscomb by name.

“So, as most of you know, someone who is the president of the Maine Principal’s Association,” Blanchard began before being interrupted by Witham for the final time. 

“Nope, close enough. I’m sorry, you’re done, Mr. Blanchard,” Witham said, ordering him off the podium.

As Blanchard walked away, he yelled “Communist China right here!”

Maine is currently considered ground zero in the national debate over trans inclusion in girls’ and women’s sports as multiple federal agencies have levied pressure on the state since February to amend its current policies that enable trans inclusion.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture froze funding to the state last week, and the Department of Health and Human Services has already referred the Maine Department of Education, the MPA and Greely High School to the Justice Department.

Friday is the deadline for the state to amend its current policies or face another referral to the justice department by the U.S. Department of Education. 

Trump gives Mexico clear ultimatum, threatening tariffs — and ‘maybe even sanctions’

President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs, and possibly sanctions against Mexico, if it continues to rob South Texas farmers of Rio Grande water promised under a decades-old treaty.

In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump proclaimed that Mexico owes Texas 1.3 million acre-feet of water under the 1944 Water Treaty, though Mexico was violating their obligation.

“This is very unfair, and it is hurting South Texas Farmers very badly,” the president wrote. “Last year, the only Sugar Mill in Texas CLOSED, because Mexico has been stealing the water from Texas Farmers. Ted Cruz has been leading the fight to get South Texas the water it is owed, but Sleepy Joe refused to lift a finger to help the Farmers. THAT ENDS NOW!”

Trump continued, saying he will make sure Mexico does not violate treaties with the U.S. and hurt farmers in Texas.

TEXAS FARMING CRISIS LOOMSAS US, MEXICO SPAR OVER LONG-STANDING WATER TREATY

“Just last month, I halted water shipments to Tijuana until Mexico complies with the 1944 Water Treaty,” he said. “My Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, is standing up for Texas Farmers, and we will keep escalating consequences, including TARIFFS and, maybe even SANCTIONS, until Mexico honors the Treaty, and GIVES TEXAS THE WATER THEY ARE OWED!”

Texas farm groups warned of a disastrous season ahead of them for citrus and sugar, last year, as Mexican and U.S. officials tried to resolve a dispute over the 1944 water treaty that supplies U.S. farmers with critical irrigation.

The two countries have tussled over the treaty before, but the drought-driven water shortages were the most severe in nearly 30 years.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY AFTER SUPREME COURT RULES TEXAS RANCHER CAN SUE STATE OVER FLOODED LANDS

Under the treaty designed to allocate shared water resources, Mexico is required to send 1.75 million acre-feet of water from the Rio Grande to the U.S. over a five-year cycle.

Texas’s half-billion-dollar citrus industry is heavily dependent on water from Mexico, especially with drought conditions growing more severe in the region. In fact, Texas is the third-largest citrus state behind California and Florida.

Last month, the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs posted that it was denying a request from Mexico to deliver water to Tijuana.

TEXAS TOWN DECLARES ‘WATER EMERGENCY,’ TELLS RESIDENTS THAT IT COULD RUN OUT OF WATER

“Mexico’s continued shortfalls in its water deliveries under the 1944 water-sharing treaty are decimating American agriculture – particularly farmers in the Rio Grande valley,” the agency wrote on X. “As a result, today for the first time, the U.S. will deny Mexico’s non-treaty request for a special delivery channel for Colorado River water to be delivered to Tijuana.”

The day before, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., said South Texas was facing a water crisis, which he called a “man-made crisis.”

He also noted that he was leading the fight in the Senate to hold Mexico accountable and abide by the treaty to deliver water to farmers in South Texas.

He shared the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs’ post, calling the move, “excellent.”

“As I said yesterday, this option is absolutely what the Trump administration needs to pressure Mexico to fulfill its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty,” Cruz wrote on X. “Texas farmers are in crisis because of Mexico’s noncompliance. I will work with the Trump administration to pressure Mexico into complying and to get water to Texas farmers.”

Pilot and 5 tourists, including 3 children, killed after helicopter plummets into Hudson River

Six people — including a pilot, two adults and three children — were killed after a tour helicopter crashed into the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a news conference that at 3:17 p.m., authorities received multiple 911 calls about a helicopter crash in the Hudson River near the New Jersey coastline.

The helicopter was inverted when it crashed, and the cabin was visible above the water.

New York City Fire Department (FDNY) and New York City Police Department (NYPD) divers entered the water within minutes, along with personnel from the port authority and various New Jersey agencies.

NYPD divers pulled four people from the crash site and FDNY divers recovered an additional two people, Tisch said.

There were six people onboard, including a pilot, two adults and three children, according to the flight manifest.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the family was visiting from Spain, though their identities have not yet been released.

MONSTER 220-POUND FISH CAUGHT IN NEW YORK’S HUDSON RIVER

Immediate lifesaving measures were taken on the vessels and on an adjoining pier. However, four people were pronounced dead at the scene and the other two people were pronounced dead at local hospitals.

According to flight tracking software and a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Bell 206 helicopter, flying for the tour company New York Helicopters, took off from the downtown Manhattan heliport at 2:59 p.m.

The aircraft flew south, before turning to fly north along the Manhattan shoreline up the Hudson River.

At 3:08 p.m., the helicopter reached the George Washington Bridge and then turned again to fly south along the New Jersey shoreline. 

Shortly after, the aircraft lost control and hit the water just a few feet off the shore near Hoboken. 

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) confirmed they will investigate the cause of the crash.

A NTSB “go-team,” including chairman Jennifer Homendy, was deployed and will arrive at the scene Thursday night, according to a statement.

According to FOX Weather, the water temperature in the Hudson River is in the mid 40’s.

There were no known adverse weather conditions that might have caused the crash.

New York Helicopter did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The crash site is less than a mile from Manhattan and is close to the Holland Tunnel, where 15.8 million vehicles cross annually from New Jersey into New York City.

A safety zone is in place one mile north and one mile south of the Holland Tunnel across the entire Hudson River, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. 

The Coast Guard is working with the Army Corps of Engineers and NTSB to salvage the helicopter.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday night to offer his condolences.

“Terrible helicopter crash in the Hudson River,” Trump wrote. “Looks like six people, the pilot, two adults, and three children, are no longer with us. The footage of the accident is horrendous. God bless the families and friends of the victims. Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and his talented staff are on it. Announcements as to exactly what took place, and how, will be made shortly!”

Just after 8 p.m., Duffy took to X to share that no air traffic control services were being provided when the helicopter crashed.

“We pray for the victims and their families. Here’s what we know: The tour helicopter was in the Special Flight Rules Area established in New York which means no air traffic control services were being provided when the helicopter crashed,” Duffy wrote in the post. “Several minutes prior to entering the Special Flight Rules Area, Air Traffic Control from LaGuardia airport was providing support.”

Duffy added his agency will launch a Safety Review Team on Thursday night and provide updates as they become available.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams spoke during a joint news conference with the FDNY and NYPD.

“Our hearts go out to the families of those who were onboard,” Adams said. “It’s almost reminiscent of the plane going down here on the Hudson River. Thank God we didn’t lose any lives back then. It’s still fresh and still new, the investigation is ongoing, and … the family members … we lift them up in prayer.”

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said in a post on X he was briefed by law enforcement, and called the incident “tragic.”

“We are supporting the emergency response effort through the @NJSP, @PANYNJ, and local first responders,” Murphy wrote in the post.

NYPD officials told Fox News Digital they are not able to provide further details at this time.

Prior to the Hudson River crash on Thursday, the NTSB reported 211 helicopter accidents in the past two years, 37 of which were fatal.

Since 1965, 36 crashes have occurred in nearby New York City, 11 of which were fatal.

In 2019, two helicopters crashed in New York City.

One of the helicopters hit the roof of a Manhattan skyscraper in restricted airspace, killing the pilot, according to a report from The Associated Press.

The other helicopter went into the Hudson River and sank while being maneuvered at a heliport, but the pilot escaped.

GOP, Dems come together to end Daylight Saving over health and economic risks

In 1957, rockabilly singer Bob Ehret repeated, “We’ve got to stop the clock, baby; to spend more time with you” — and in a Senate Commerce Committee hearing, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle strongly considered the benefits of doing so, in a way.

Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Daylight Saving was grounded in good-faith efforts to reduce energy consumption, but that instead it has led to increased auto accidents in the dark, workplace issues and objections from the agriculture sector that relies on early-morning sunlight.

“We find ourselves adjusting our clocks… springing forward and falling back in the fall. For many Americans, this biannual ritual is a minor inconvenience… But when we take a closer look at the implications of changing the clocks, its impact on our economy, our health and our everyday lives, we can see that this practice is more than an annoyance,” Cruz said.

“The idea was simple. Fewer hours of darkness meant less electricity consumption for lighting and heating.”

TRUMP’S DAYLIGHT SAVINGS PLAN

However, unlike the early 1900s, when the U.S. economy was heavily reliant on energy consumption tied to daylight hours, today’s effects from sunrise and sunset timings are “de minimis,” he said.

Cruz, along with Massachusetts neurology physician Dr. Karin Johnson, spoke about the health concerns associated with changing the time twice a year and with the permanence of Daylight Saving Time (DST), versus Standard Time.

“Research has shown that the abrupt shift in time, especially the spring transition when we lose an hour of sleep,” Cruz said, as Johnson spoke about the effects on people’s circadian rhythm, vascular system and sleep deprivation.

The panel also hosted an official from the National Golf Course Owners Association, as he and other lawmakers spoke of the increased revenue from evening tee times and other tourist activities only possible during daylight hours.

On the Democratic side, Sen. Lisa Blunt-Rochester of Delaware agreed that it was time to consider a “permanent time for our country.”

She noted a bill from then-Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to abolish DST stalled in the House.

“This body [then] took a harder look at how time changes work state-by-state,” she said.

“What works in my home state of Delaware may not work in Washington state, but I know I speak for many Americans when I say it’s time. It’s time to figure this out.”

‘I CAN’T SLEEP BECAUSE OF RACING THOUGHTS AT NIGHT — HOW CAN I STOP THEM?’: ASK A DOCTOR

Witnesses to the hearing noted that it is indeed southern states like Florida and Texas where the negative effects of a permanent Daylight Saving Time would be most felt.

Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., spoke about his work shifting Daylight Saving Time twice to help assuage some of the issues that were brought up each time, including better guaranteeing trick-or-treating happens at worst at dusk.

Markey quipped that his decades-long work on this issue earned him the nickname “the Sun King.”

“We need to stop the clock,” Blunt-Rochester said. “We know that changing the clock disrupts sleep, which can lead to negative health outcomes. Several studies have noted issues with mood disturbances increase hospital admissions, and even heart attacks and strokes.”

Lock the Clock movement founder Scott Yates testified about the flawed history of DST, noting a time during the 1970s energy crisis that the Nixon administration briefly made DST permanent.

Nixon signed the law in December 1973 while embroiled in Watergate — but it took effect the first week the following year — Jan. 6, 1974.

“So you can imagine, the worst Monday of the year already is the one after the holiday break where you have to go back to school and everything — to have an extra hour of sleep robbed away right before that. You can understand why it was so unpopular and why it was repealed,” Yates said, noting that months later, Nixon resigned.

The burglary by the “Plumbers” at the Watergate Hotel also notably occurred during nighttime hours.

“So maybe — if we had more daylight, the Watergate break-in doesn’t happen,” Cruz quipped in response.

“And history would be different.”

Former ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star reveals ALS diagnosis in emotional announcement

Eric Dane has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. 

“I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter,” the 52-year-old “Euphoria” actor and “Grey’s Anatomy” alum told People magazine. 

“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to the set of ‘Euphoria’ next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”

‘GREY’S ANATOMY’ STAR ERIC DANE ENTERS REHAB FOR PAINKILLER ADDICTION

ALS is a “nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord,” according to the Mayo Clinic. 

It causes loss of muscle control as well as breathing and eating problems and can cause dementia. 

Patients typically live for three years after being diagnosed with the disease, but some can live for decades, according to the ALS Association. 

Others who have battled ALS include Stephen Hawking; Yankees player Lou Gehrig, who died in 1941; “SpongeBob SquarePants” creator Stephen Hillenburg; and Jon Stone, the creator “Sesame Street.”

Dane is married to actress Rebecca Gayheart, and they share two children, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13. 

Supreme Court rules Maryland immigrant deported to El Salvador must return to US

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a lower court’s decision to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national living in Maryland, from an El Salvador prison where federal officials sent hundreds of suspected criminals and gang members in March.

Abrego Garcia, 29, was deported to the El Salvadoran megaprison last month for being an alleged MS-13 gang member, but his attorneys maintain he does not have any gang ties.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered federal officials to coordinate his return back to Maryland in a Monday order, calling his deportation “wholly unlawful.” On Thursday, the Supreme Court sided with Xinis. 

“On March 15, 2025, the United States removed Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia from the United States to El Salvador, where he is currently detained in the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT),” the order states. “The United States acknowledges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal.” 

DOJ ASKS TO DISMISS VIRGINIA CASE AGAINST SALVADORAN ACCUSED MS-13 LEADER SET TO BE DEPORTED

Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she “would have declined to intervene in this litigation and denied the application in full.”

“Nevertheless, I agree with the Court’s order that the proper remedy is to provide Abrego Garcia with all the processes to which he would have been entitled had he not been unlawfully removed to El Salvador,” Sotomayor wrote. “That means the Government must comply with its obligation to provide Abrego Garcia with ‘due process of law,’ including notice and an opportunity to be heard, in any future proceedings.”

ACCUSED MS-13 LEADER NABBED BY PATEL’S FBI TO REMAIN IN CUSTODY FOR NOW, JUDGE RULES

The High Court further said it “properly requires the government to ‘facilitate’ Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.”

The Justice Department responded to the order in a statement to Fox News in a statement. 

“As the Supreme Court correctly recognized, it is the exclusive prerogative of the President to conduct foreign affairs,” the statement says. “By directly noting the deference owed to the Executive Branch, this ruling once again illustrates that activist judges do not have the jurisdiction to seize control of the President’s authority to conduct foreign policy.”

TOP MS-13 LEADER ARRESTED IN VIRGINIA

Federal court filings say Abrego Garcia fled Garcia to escape gang violence. Starting around 2006, gang members “stalked, hit, and threatened to kidnap and kill him in order to coerce his parents to succumb to their increasing demands for extortion.”

He entered the United States illegally in 2011 and traveled to Maryland, where his older brother, a U.S. citizen, lived.

Around 2016, Abrego Garcia became romantically involved with a female U.S. citizen — Jennifer Vasquez Sura — and her two children, also U.S. citizens. They moved in together and the woman became pregnant with his child. Abrego Garcia worked in the construction industry to support his family, court filings say.

On March 28, 2019, Abrego Garcia went to a Home Depot in Hyattsville, Maryland, to solicit employment and was recruited by three other men. Prince George County Police Department soon arrived at the scene and detained all four men.

MASSACHUSETTS JUDGE CHARGES ICE AGENT WITH CONTEMPT OF COURT

“At the police station, the four young men were placed into different rooms and questioned. Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was asked if he was a gang member; when he told police he was not, they said that they did not believe him and repeatedly demanded that he provide information about other gang members,” court documents state. “The police told Plaintiff Abrego Garcia that he would be released if he cooperated, but he repeatedly explained that he did not have any information to give because he did not know anything.”

A judge later granted his release, and Abrego Garcia married his now-wife in 2019. He did, however, miss the birth of his child while in federal custody, the federal complaint says. 

Abrego Garcia was arrested in Baltimore on March 12 after he worked a shift as a sheet metal apprentice in Baltimore and picked up his now-5-year-old son, who has autism and other disabilities, from his grandmother’s house, the complaint says.

Walz takes stage at veterans rally — and it immediately backfires on him

Veterans heckled Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., for stolen valor claims during remarks at a veterans rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul on Wednesday.

As Walz welcomed the veterans to the Capitol for the annual “Veterans Day on the Hill,” he was met by a fiery crowd who called him a “coward” and criticized him for sympathizing with China, according to footage captured by KSTP.

“Coward! You sympathize with the Chinese!” some veterans holding American flags and “take action” signs shouted at the Democratic governor as he welcomed them to the Capitol. 

“Sir, you’re welcome to come… Let me finish!” Walz replied as he tried to ease tensions while another veteran shouted: “Shut your f—ing mouth!” 

WISCONSINITES KICKED OUT AND DENIED ENTRY TO THIS DEMOCRAT’S ‘FAKE TOWN HALL’

“Woah, hey — there’s some passion in the building, which is a good thing,” Walz said before beginning his address. 

VETERANS INCREASINGLY CALLING OUT WALZ’S MILITARY RECORD: ‘SHAMEFUL’

Footage of the hecklers disrupting Walz’s remarks has gone viral on social media, with conservative influencers celebrating the criticism. 

Walz faced accusations of stolen valor during the 2024 presidential election for inconsistencies describing his military service. 

Walz is a veteran, having served in the Minnesota National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery after transferring from the Nebraska National Guard in 1996. He retired as a master sergeant in 2005.

The former vice presidential candidate was accused of stolen valor for retiring just months before his battalion deployed to Iraq as war raged in the Middle East following the 9/11 attacks. Walz put in his papers for retirement at least five months before his battalion received deployment orders, according to the Minnesota National Guard.

Walz was also discovered to have claimed several times that he retired as a command sergeant major, which is not accurate — he reverted to his previous rank upon retirement because he did not complete the necessary corresponding coursework, the National Guard has said.

Walz’s decades-long ties to China also came to light when Vice President Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate last summer. He worked briefly in China as a teacher, traveling to Guangdong in 1989 for a teaching-abroad program to teach English and American history. 

Walz was initially believed to have made dozens of trips to China over his lifetime, but a campaign spokesperson later tried to walk that number back and said he made approximately 15 visits to China. He also boasted about Minnesota hosting several top Chinese leaders in a letter unearthed by Fox News Digital.

UNEARTHED LETTER REVEALS WALZ BOASTED ABOUT MINNESOTA HOSTING ‘NUMEROUS SENIOR CHINESE LEADERS’

The 2024 campaign trail brought Walz’s inconsistencies regarding his background into the national conversation. Walz said he “misspoke” when he claimed he visited Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and incorrectly claimed his family used in vitro fertilization. Walz laughed off the missteps, calling himself a “knucklehead.”

The Commanders’ Task Force and Minnesota Association of County Veterans Service Officers hosted the rally in the Rotunda that erupted in boos for Walz on Wednesday. The annual event is designed to streamline communication between Minnesota elected officials and veterans.

Once the fury settled, Walz committed to upholding budget protections for veterans during his remarks, in light of Minnesota budget negotiations and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leading efforts to cut spending and lay off federal employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). 

Walz did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

NFL Draft prospect turns himself in to police just two weeks before going pro

Getting arrested two weeks before going pro isn’t ideal, but that’s the situation with Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond.

The 21-year-old turned himself in to police Thursday on a sexual assault warrant. He posted $25,000 bail and has been released.

Details of the allegations are not known, but Bond called them “patently false.”

“Regarding the accusation made against me, I would appreciate the time and opportunity to defend myself and prove the claims made, patently false,” Bond wrote on X. “I am in full cooperation with the authorities and will remain a willing and active participant in the investigation.”

“Unfortunately, claims like these prove to be harmful to all involved, absent full review. I kindly request that all reserve judgment until the authorities provide a complete report based on truth and evidence.”

NCAA POWER FOUR COMMISSIONERS SAY THEY ‘NEED HELP FROM CONGRESS’ TO REGULATE NIL, TRANSFER PORTAL

Bond spent his final college season with the Longhorns after both Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell went to the NFL. He caught 34 passes for 540 yards and five touchdowns. He declared for the NFL Draft shortly after the Longhorns were eliminated from the College Football Playoff by eventual national champion Ohio State, who they open the season against.

Before going to Texas, Bond spent his first two college seasons at Alabama. His final touchdown in a Crimson Tide uniform came from Jalen Milroe on a 4th-and-31 with 32 seconds left on the road against Auburn in the Iron Bowl.

The win saved Bama’s season as they went to the SEC title game the next week and upset then-No. 1 Georgia, but they lost in the Rose Bowl to Michigan, which later won the national championship.

Bond is expected to be a second-day draft pick this month.
