Justice pins down lawyer who won’t define boys, girls in court: ‘We do not have a definition’
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito grilled an attorney representing a biological male athlete in the case of Little v. Hecox on Tuesday about the definitions of a woman and girl.
Alito asked Kathleen R. Hartnett, who is arguing on behalf of the Idaho student in the Supreme Court case, what it meant to be a “boy or a girl or a man or a woman” when it came to equal protection purposes. Hartnett agreed that a school may have separate teams for students “classified as boys and a category of students classified as girls.” Hartnett also agreed there needed to be “an understanding of what it means to be a boy or a girl and a man or a woman.”

“Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I think the underlying enactment, whatever it was, the policy, the law, we’d have to have an understanding of how the state or the government was understanding that term to figure out whether someone was excluded,” Hartnett said. “We do not have a definition for the court. We’re not disputing the definition here.
“What we’re saying is the way it implies in practice is to exclude birth-sex males categorically from women’s teams and there is a subset of those birth-sex males where it doesn’t make sense to do so according to the state’s own interest.”
Alito then asked, “How can a court determine whether there’s discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection purposes?”
HOUSE GOP LEADER BLASTS TRANS ATHLETES IN GIRLS’ SPORTS AS ‘BIGGEST FORM OF BULLYING’
“I think here we just know, we basically know that they’ve identified pursuant to their own statute, Lindsay qualifies as a birth-sex male and she is being excluded categorically from the women’s teams as the statute,” Hartnett responded. “So, we’re taking the statute’s definitions as we find them and we don’t dispute them. We’re just trying to figure out, do they create an equal protection problem?”
Alito then posed a hypothetical question to Hartnett about a boy who has never taken any kind of puberty blockers or other medication but believed they were a girl and whether a school can say the boy cannot participate on a girls’ sports team.
Hartnett suggested the hypothetical wasn’t necessarily what her side was arguing.
The issue at hand is whether laws in Idaho, and West Virginia, that prohibit transgender athletes who identify as women from playing on teams that match their gender identity, discriminate based on sex.
In the case of Little v. Hecox, a biological man who sought to compete on the women’s track and cross-country teams at Boise State University, contended that Idaho’s law, the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, violated the equal protection clause by excluding transgender women.

Lawyers for the states defending the bans maintain that separating sports based on biological sex preserves fairness and safety for female athletes and is consistent with Title IX’s definition of sex.
Trump responds to shouting protester during Michigan auto plant tour
President Donald Trump was caught on video appearing to mouth an expletive and make an obscene gesture toward a heckler during a visit to a Ford factory in Michigan Tuesday, a moment the White House later defended as an “appropriate and unambiguous response.”
The video, first published by TMZ, shows Trump briefly turning toward someone shouting from the crowd as he walked through the Ford River Rouge complex in Dearborn.
In the video, Trump appears to mouth the words “f— you” twice and gestures with his middle finger.

TMZ reported that the exchange followed a heckler shouting an insult at the president off camera. The outlet described Trump’s reaction as “flipping the bird” while continuing to walk away.
White House communications director Steven Cheung defended the president’s reaction, telling Fox News Digital, “A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.”
TRUMP WEARS ‘HAPPY TRUMP’ PIN ALONGSIDE AMERICAN FLAG DURING WHITE HOUSE OIL EXECUTIVE MEETING
A Ford worker who identified himself as the heckler said he was later suspended from his job pending an investigation into the incident.
TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old United Auto Workers Local 600 line worker at the factory, told The Washington Post that he was the person shouting at Trump during the visit and said he has been suspended pending an internal investigation.
“As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever,” Sabula told the outlet, while adding that he is concerned about the future of his job and believes he has been “targeted for political retribution” for “embarrassing Trump in front of his friends.”
Sabula, who said he identifies as politically independent and has never voted for Trump, told The Washington Post that he has supported other Republican candidates in the past. He estimated that he was standing roughly 60 feet away from Trump at the time and said the president could hear him “very, very, very clearly.”
Trump visited the plant as part of a scheduled appearance focused on U.S. manufacturing and the auto industry when the exchange occurred during a tour of the factory.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” Sabula said to the Washington Post. “And today I think I did that.”
The White House did not specify who was shouting in the video, and Fox News Digital has not yet independently confirmed the identity of the individual who later claimed responsibility.
Woman seen on video pulled from car in tussle with federal law enforcement
Less than a week after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot while allegedly blocking an ICE operation in Minneapolis, another woman was seen on video blocking a Minnesota road with her vehicle as anti-ICE agitators gathered in support.
Video showed federal agents on Tuesday breaking the passenger side window of the car while attempting to stop the female driver, who appeared to be wedging agents between her vehicle and another car blocking the road.
“Go, go, go, go, go,” agitators shouted in the surrounding crowd.
The woman, who has not yet been identified, was pulled from the car as she clung onto the driver’s side door.

Agents pushed her up against the side of the car and handcuffed her as others yelled, “stop,” “that’s so f—– up,” “all you do is hurt.”
Minutes later, agitators wearing black hoodies and gas masks were seen banging against the federal agents’ cars, as tear gas, pepper balls and pepper spray were deployed in an attempt to get control of the unruly crowd.
“Nazis,” another agitator yelled. “You will pay for your crimes.”

Footage showed multiple people being detained in the snow as others recorded the interactions on their phones.
Meanwhile, another crowd of about 70 to 80 protesters gathered Tuesday at Minneapolis’ Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, where they were seen blocking and throwing rocks at federal agents’ cars.
One agitator near the building was caught on video opening up the back of a federal vehicle as it drove away, and another was arrested after allegedly throwing water bottles and kicking agents’ vehicles.
SQUAD MEMBER BRANDS ICE ‘RACIST’ AND ‘ROGUE’ IN CALL TO ABOLISH AGENCY
Marcos Charles, ICE ERO acting executive associate director, told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum on Tuesday that 60 agitators have been charged with impeding or assaulting immigration agents in Minnesota within the last five days.
“We will be arresting anybody that interferes or impedes in any of these enforcement actions,” Charles said. “We’ve already arrested 60 … that have got in our way, impeded us or assaulted an officer.”
Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have blamed the Trump administration for the unrest following Good’s death, filing a lawsuit to block the ongoing federal immigration enforcement surge.
TRUMP PLEDGES TO UNCOVER LEFTIST GROUPS COUNTERING ICE
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison claimed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)’s law enforcement action have caused “serious harm” to the state, labeling the operations a “federal invasion.”
“DHS agents have sown chaos and terror across the metropolitan area,” Ellison said. “Schools have gone [into] lockdown. Entire districts have had to cancel school for tens of thousands of students to ensure safety and offer online education. … Revenues are down, and some retail stores, daycares and restaurants have actually closed because people are afraid to go out.”

DHS officials pushed back, accusing Minnesota leaders of undermining public safety and obstructing federal law enforcement.
“Keith Ellison made it abundantly clear today he is prioritizing politics over public safety,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “It really is astounding that the Left can miraculously rediscover the Tenth Amendment when they don’t want federal law enforcement officers to enforce federal law—which is a clear federal responsibility under Article I, Article II and the Supremacy Clause—and then go right back to federalizing every state responsibility possible when they get back in power. Spare us.”
Passengers left horrified after screams suddenly burst beneath taxiing aircraft
Passengers aboard a taxiing aircraft were reportedly left horrified last month when chilling screams suddenly echoed from beneath the cabin just moments before takeoff.
According to the officials, a ground crew member became trapped inside the plane’s cargo hold when doors “inadvertently closed” behind him, according to local station CBC.
The incident happened on Dec. 13 when Air Canada Flight 1502 was preparing to depart Toronto Pearson Airport for Moncton, New Brunswick, the outlet said.
The Airbus flight, which was carrying 184 passengers, was ultimately canceled following the incident.

Passengers told CBC that distressing sounds of muffled banging and desperate screams quickly filled the rear of the aircraft as it began taxiing toward the runway, prompting flight attendants to sprint down the aisle in alarm.
“Some of the people that were sitting towards the back of the plane heard the person screaming and banging, trying to get their attention,” passenger Gabrielle Caron said.
“We could see the crew gathering around the plane, so we knew something was happening,” she added. “Then, the pilot tells us that there is someone from the crew in the luggage hold.”

The aircraft reportedly halted before reaching the runway. Moments later, the trapped ground crew member emerged safely from the cargo and entered the cabin, reassuring shaken passengers that he was unharmed, Caron reported.
Air Canada confirmed to CBC that no injuries were reported in the incident.
Caron added that the crew member involved was reportedly assisting ground staff by loading items as an extra set of hands and may have been left unaccounted for when the doors closed.

The plane eventually returned to the terminal, where passengers were asked to disembark while the flight crew completed necessary paperwork, CBC reported.
The flight was ultimately canceled after several delays, the outlet said.

Chinese embassy sparks massive fears after blueprints reveal secret room near city cables
Recently unredacted construction plans for China’s new super embassy in London have ignited a storm of national security concerns across the United Kingdom, as blueprints reveal a hidden underground room positioned alarmingly close to some of Britain’s most sensitive communication cables.
Major critics of the proposed site, which will run as close as three feet to the internet infrastructure, warned that the secret room could serve as a hub for Chinese espionage. While the British government reportedly assured its allies that the lines do not carry sensitive government data, the cables transmit financial transactions as well as communication traffic for millions of internet users.
The blueprints were publicly unredacted Monday by The Telegraph, just one week before Prime Minister Keir Starmer is widely expected to approve the plans before his visit to see President Xi Jinping in China.
A government spokesman told the outlet that despite the security concerns, “national security is our first duty and government security experts have been involved throughout the process so far.”
CCP-LINKED FIRMS QUIETLY HOLD STAKES IN US SOLAR COMPANIES FUELING DEMS’ GREEN PUSH
According to the blueprint, the facility will be located at the former Royal Mint and will become Europe’s largest Chinese embassy.
Construction plans indicate that China intends to demolish and rebuild a basement wall, placing officials and equipment just over three feet from critical fiber-optic cables. Security experts have warned that such proximity could create opportunities for “cable-tapping,” which involves inserting wiretaps or reading light signals leaking from the lines.
Professor Alan Woodward, a security expert at the University of Surrey, highlighted the technical feasibility of espionage given the physical layout, The Telegraph reported. He described the demolition as a “red flag” and noted, “If I were in their shoes, having those cables on my doorstep would be an enormous temptation.”

Additionally, the concealed chamber appears to be equipped with at least two hot-air extraction systems designed to ventilate heat-generating equipment. Experts reportedly inferred that this infrastructure suggests that the room is designed to accommodate high-powered technology such as advanced computers typically used for espionage and data processing.
Beyond the single chamber near the cables, the unredacted plans also revealed a network of 208 secret rooms beneath the diplomatic site. The basement appears to allow for emergency backup generators, sprinkler systems, communications cabling and showers, suggesting that officials could remain underground for extended periods, potentially to operate or monitor equipment.
The construction plans have generally raised fears that the London complex could serve as a Beijing intelligence hub. According to U.K. outlet The Times, Britain has been pressured to reassure the United States and other intelligence partners that the cables do not transmit any sensitive government data.

Alicia Kearns, the shadow national security minister and prominent critic of the project, described the approval of the embassy as handing Beijing a strategic advantage against British interests.
“Giving China the go-ahead for its embassy site would be to gift them a launchpad for economic warfare at the very heart of the central nervous system of our critical financial national infrastructure,” she said in a post on X.
Secret Service agent allegedly leaked Vance security info to undercover journalist
A U.S. Secret Service (USSS) employee assigned to Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail has been placed on administrative leave after an undercover video released by independent journalist James O’Keefe allegedly showed the agent leaking sensitive security information, the agency confirmed to Fox News.
The USSS is investigating and said the employee’s security clearance has been suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked as the incident is investigated, opening the door to broader concerns about operational security and an agency-wide retraining order.
USSS Deputy Director Matthew Quinn told Fox News in a statement: “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked.
“The U.S. Secret Service has also issued an order for all personnel to retake the agency’s required anti-espionage training in order to ensure employees are aware of the threats posed by individuals aiming to exploit agency employees for information about our protective operations,” Quinn added.
SECRET SERVICE AWARE OF UMASS LOWELL-FUNDED RADIO DJ’S DIRECTIVE TO ‘KILL JD VANCE’
“The U.S. Secret Service has a 160-year-old tradition of discretion that sets this agency apart, and we have no tolerance for employees who fail to meet this standard. The U.S. Secret Service deeply apologizes to the Vance family for this violation of their trust and privacy. The faith our protectees place in this agency is not something the U.S. Secret Service takes lightly, and we are committed to taking the necessary actions to ensure that a similar breach of standards does not occur again,” the statement concluded.
In a post on X by O’Keefe, undercover footage allegedly shows a USSS agent he claims as being assigned to Vance’s protective detail, sharing sensitive information with someone he believed to be a romantic interest.
According to O’Keefe, the agent discussed protective formations, shift schedules, travel movements and advance security procedures, and allegedly sent images while aboard Air Force Two.
ATTORNEY FOR SUSPECT IN VANCE HOME VANDALISM RULES OUT POSSIBLE MOTIVATION
Fox News Digital has not independently verified the full contents of the video.
O’Keefe goes on to write that the agent involved was “recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information” and allegedly discussed “protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, & real-time locations.”
The agent also allegedly shared information “sometimes days in advance” and acknowledged signing paperwork prohibiting disclosure of that kind of privileged information.
O’Keefe alleges the agent is a “holdover from the Biden administration” and that he holds anti-ICE and anti-Trump administration personal views.
O’Keefe said his organization coordinated with the USSS prior to publication and redacted certain operational details at the agency’s request.

The USSS is tasked with protecting the president, vice president and other designated officials, and operates under strict confidentiality rules governing operations.
The USSS did not immediately provide a timeline for its completion or say whether criminal charges could result from the incident.
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Costco staples offer quiet savings that cancel out membership fee cost
A handful of discounted staples can effectively offset the cost of a Costco membership, according to a recent report on the retailer’s biggest savings.
The club’s $65 annual Gold Star Membership, or $130 Executive membership, may look steep to budget-minded shoppers, but the math can flip quickly: a few well-chosen purchases can end up paying for the membership itself.
The issue was raised on Reddit, where a potential member posed the question, “What items (other than gas) do you get to justify the membership if you’re not a bulk buyer?”
“Are the basics enough of a discount that makes the membership worth it?” the poster asked late last month. “I know the excitement of seeing good deals on random items will want me to buy more, but if I really truly only need basics like what i listed, what would you recommend?”
COSTCO TO OPEN NEW WAREHOUSE UNDER AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES
Reddit users were quick to weigh in, with some pointing to over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or antihistamines, as well as paper goods and the popular rotisserie chicken, as being worth the membership.
Another user said smoked salmon alone justifies the fee, while another pointed to the savings from buying diapers at the wholesale club.
To put numbers behind those claims, Business Insider analyzed which Costco items deliver enough savings to offset the cost of a $65 membership.
COSTCO SHATTERS RECORDS WITH MASSIVE PIZZA AND PIE SALES DURING HOLIDAY SEASON
The publication reported that it focused on shelf-stable items commonly used throughout the year, comparing prices at Costco with those at retailers such as Amazon, Target and Walmart.
Business Insider reported that it used ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence tool, to estimate annual usage of each item in a two-person household.
The analysis assigned each product a “payback score” to show how much of the membership fee could be offset by buying that item at Costco for a year. A score of 100 indicated the savings matched the cost of the membership, while a score of 200 meant the savings were twice the fee. A score of 50 meant the product recovered half the cost.

Pet food stood out in the analysis as a major value. A 38-pound bag of Blue Buffalo dog food costs about $65 at Costco, compared with roughly $111 at a typical retailer, enough savings from two purchases to exceed the annual membership fee.
The dog food received a payback score of 713, indicating the savings would offset the membership cost more than six times.
Diapers and baby wipes emerged as another strong value, with a payback score of 373. A jumbo pack of Huggies diapers costs about $50 at Costco, compared with roughly $70 at other retailers, enough savings to offset the membership fee in fewer than four purchases.
Formula delivered similar savings. A large container of Similac sells for about $55 at Costco, compared with about $68 elsewhere, with the analysis showing the membership cost could be recouped after about five purchases, earning a payback score of 240.
Two-pound bags of Starbucks’ Pike Place roast coffee beans sell for about $8.40 per pound at Costco, compared with roughly $12 elsewhere. Based on annual use of 30 pounds, the analysis gave the coffee a payback score of 166, with the membership cost recouped after about 18 pounds.

Savings on toilet paper were smaller. A 30-pack of Charmin costs about $1.10 per roll at Costco, around 37 cents less per roll than at other retailers, producing a payback score of 67 if four packs are purchased in a year.
Business Insider added a caveat, noting that “this analysis assumes no other purchases at Costco, which in our experience is extremely unlikely.”
Trump mourns ‘fantastic’ ‘Dilbert’ creator who accepted Jesus in final message
President Donald Trump praised cartoonist-turned-conservative influencer Scott Adams after learning of his death on Tuesday.
Adams, known for the white-collar office-humor “Dilbert” comic strip, died at age 68 following a battle with cancer. His ex-wife, Shelly Miles, tearfully announced his passing during a livestream on the “Real Coffee with Scott Adams” YouTube channel.
Trump reacted to Adams’ death on Truth Social, writing, “Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you, Scott!”

“’If you are reading this, things did not go well for me,’” Miles read from Adams’ final message to fans, which he wrote on New Year’s Day. “’I have a few things to say before I go. My body failed before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this January 1st, 2026.”
“’Next, many of my Christian friends have asked me to find Jesus before I go. I’m not a believer, but I have to admit the risk-reward calculation for doing so looks so attractive to me, so here I go,’” Adams wrote. “’I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me not being a believer should be quite quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I won’t need any more convincing than that. I hope I’m still qualified for entry.'”
TRUMP ADMIN RESPONDS TO ‘DILBERT’ CREATOR’S PLEA TO ‘HELP SAVE MY LIFE’ BY EXPEDITING CANCER TREATMENT
Adams first announced his prostate cancer diagnosis on his show in May, saying he was in pain every day and had been using a walker for months.
“If you’re wondering if I’ll get better, the answer is no, it will only get worse,” he said at the time. “There’s only one direction this goes.”

Iranian doctor flees after witnessing security forces ‘shoot-to-kill’ protesters
Iranian security forces escalated from pellet guns to live ammunition during protests, sharply increasing casualties, a doctor who treated wounded demonstrators told the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
Speaking after fleeing the country, the doctor told CHRI the use of live fire increased the death toll days after protests erupted Dec. 28.
“Law enforcement forces were firing pellet shotguns that scatter pellets. During those days, I received five or six calls per day about people who had been hit by two pellets in the back or pellets to the head or scalp,” the doctor claimed.
The doctor said he noticed the situation shifted on Jan. 8, when authorities imposed internet blackouts and cut off communication nationwide.

“From about 8:10 to 8:20 pm, the sound of bullets, gunfire, screams, and sporadic explosions could be heard. I was called to the hospital. When I arrived, I saw that the nature of the injuries and the number of gunshot wounds had changed completely,” the doctor said of the days around the blackout.
“The situation was totally different. Shots from close range, injuries leading to death.”
Human rights groups say thousands have been killed as security forces moved to suppress the demonstrations, with some estimates placing the death toll above 3,000, Fox News’ chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reported Tuesday.
The protests were fueled by anger over economic hardship, rising prices and inflation before expanding into broader anti-government demonstrations.

“The calls I received on my home phone for medical advice were no longer about pellet wounds,” the doctor said. “People were saying they had been shot, with bullets entering one side of the body and exiting the other. Live ammunition.”
Describing scenes in Isfahan, which is a major protest hub, the doctor said streets were stained with blood as security forces deployed heavier weapons.
“A large amount of blood, about a liter, had pooled in the gutter and blood trails extended for several meters,” the doctor claimed.
“The level and intensity of violence increased step by step,” he said before describing a change in aggression on Jan. 9.

“On Friday night, I heard automatic gunfire. I am familiar with weapons and can distinguish their sounds. I heard DShK heavy machine guns. I heard PK machine guns.
“These weapons are in the possession of IRGC units — DShKs, PK machine guns, and Kalashnikovs,” the doctor said. “The trauma cases I saw were brutal, shoot-to-kill.”
Victims ranged from teenagers to elderly men, the doctor said. Some injuries were so severe that bodies were unrecognizable.

“One colleague said that during a night shift, eight bodies were brought in with gunshot wounds to the face; their faces were unrecognizable. Many bodies are not identifiable at all,” he added.
The account comes as President Donald Trump publicly voiced support for Iranian protesters.
On Tuesday, Trump urged Iranians to “take over” their institutions, saying he had canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the crackdown ends.
