Tommy McClelland made a remark that typically would have amounted to little attention outside of Indiana, but at his introductory news conference as Purdue athletic director made a comment that went nationwide.McClelland continued his media rounds Friday with local and national radio shows. He joined 107.5 The Fan and Jake Query, who asked about his comments on championships and what was meant to be a slight to IU."Off the cuff," is how McClelland described his comments made Thursday about Indiana. In the presence of local boosters and media, the newly appointed athletic director described his words as an "in-state joke that didn't land well."Later on "The Pat McAfee Show" McClelland added, "I knew it the second it left my mouth."Insider: New athletic director Tommy McClelland has creative plan to generate revenue Purdue desiredMcClelland was announced as the fifth Purdue athletic director Wednesday, then spoke publicly Thursday. In front of university personnel, boosters and assembled media, he said: "Every recruit, every current student-athlete will hear this message repeatedly, we are here to win championships. If you don't want to win championships, go to Indiana."This comes seven months after the Indiana football program defeated the Miami Hurricanes in the 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship. In the same season, the Boilermakers finished 2-10 (0-9, Big Ten) during Barry Odom's first year at the helm and lost to the Hoosiers 56-3. Indiana has won 25 national championships across all sports to Purdue's 3.'Why on Earth would you say this?' Social media reacts to Purdue AD's championships message to IUMcClelland also expressed his vision for Purdue's athletes, placing a priority on graduation and academic success."We want to develop champions, period," mentioning academics and career aspirations as key pillars, to go alongside athletics.Shortly after his appearance with local radio, McClelland continued his media tour and made an appearance on Friday's episode of "The Pat McAfee Show." Hee echoed the same sentiment to the national contingent on his comments about Indiana — this time with a playful reference to golf."Every now and then, you line it up on the first tee and you're really excited, about that round; and I put it right in the water," McClelland said with a smile. "I got 18 more holes to play."Posts by PatMcAfeeShowMcClelland makes the move to West Lafayette after spending the last three years at Rice.

Cameron Hamilton testifies during a hearing to examine his nomination to be Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, June 17, 2026, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Mariam Zuhaib, File)2026-08-07T18:14:29Z The Senate on Friday confirmed Cameron Hamilton as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, returning the former Navy SEAL to the embattled agency he led temporarily last year only to be fired after he publicly opposed eliminating it.Hamilton was among a group of 74 nominations approved by the Senate, including President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Transportation Security Administration, David Cummins, and his choice for ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Perez.Upon his swearing in, Hamilton will take over an agency whose future has been uncertain since Trump threatened to get rid of it days into his second term. Hamilton’s nomination signaled that Trump may be moving on from that idea, but his Republican administration is still promising drastic changes in how the government handles disasters.Hamilton will have to shepherd that overhaul while stabilizing an agency of more than 20,000 employees recovering from Kristi Noem’s chaotic tenure as Department of Homeland Security secretary, during which FEMA saw mass staff departures, disruptions to grant programs and delays of disaster aid. While her successor, former Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, has worked to reverse some of the upheaval, Democrats are accusing Trump of politicizing disaster relief. Trump has approved 80% of disaster requests from Republican governors but only about 60% from Democratic governors, a July analysis by The Associated Press found.In his June hearing before a Senate committee, Hamilton pledged to advocate for FEMA and its workforce while promising to ensure FEMA is “objective, is fair and reasonable, follows the law, and is consistent in the approach to how we adjudicate and process claims and requests for disasters.”He also maintained that the agency is burdened by bureaucracy and cannot be expected to respond to every disaster. “We would need to strike a new balance to encourage cost reasonableness and cost savings,” he said. Hamilton was fired from a temporary role leading FEMAHamilton had limited emergency management experience before Trump named him FEMA’s temporary leader in January 2025. Formerly a critic of the agency, Hamilton has said he came to appreciate FEMA’s mission. His tenure proved short after he broke with Noem and other DHS officials over FEMA’s future.“I do not believe it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency,” Hamilton told a House panel in May 2025. He was fired the next day. Read More His stand drew admiration among some emergency management professionals. “It tells you exactly who he is and how he will lead when the pressure is highest and the easy answer is the wrong one,” Pete Gaynor, FEMA administrator in Trump’s first term, said in a statement supporting Hamilton’s confirmation.The National Emergency Management Association said it welcomes Hamilton as the FEMA administrator.Still, some FEMA staffers have remained wary of Hamilton’s role in controversial decisions last year like canceling a multibillion-dollar resilience grant program. FEMA has been an agency under siegeHamilton will take over in the middle of a busy summer disaster season that has already brought destructive wildfires and dangerous flooding and as FEMA manages more than 1,000 open disaster declarations. He will be FEMA’s first permanent administrator in Trump’s second term, overseeing an agency eager for stability. More than 4,300 employees separated from FEMA in the 2025 budget year, more than 1,500 through voluntary reductions, resulting in a “loss of institutional knowledge and experienced personnel,” according to a Government Accountability Office report. Since replacing Noem in March, Mullin has rehired for some eliminated positions and rescinded a rule that any expense greater than $100,000 needed to be approved by the secretary’s office — a requirement that backlogged billions of dollars in disaster aid. But DHS has also introduced policies stirring up new controversy. Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration last month over new election security requirements in FEMA counterterrorism grants to states.The Trump administration and lawmakers are advocating for sweeping changes to federal disaster response. At a meeting of governors last weekend, Mullin called FEMA “bloated.” “The biggest reform you’re going to see is more responsibility is going to go back to your states,” Mullin said, with “FEMA there for worst of the worst, not every storm.”In May, a Trump-appointed FEMA Review Council recommended major changes to how the federal government supports states, tribes and territories during disasters. That could speed assistance but might reduce how much and how often FEMA helps. Many of the suggested changes require congressional action.Gaynor told the AP he expects that Hamilton will work quickly to make changes within his authority. “I think his biggest priority in general is making the whole recovery system simpler for disaster survivors, for states and locals to navigate, to make it less of mystery, and cut out red tape,” Gaynor said. Senate approves 74 nominations, including for airport securityOther nominees confirmed included Cummins as head of the Transportation Security Administration, an agency also facing persistent challenges, particularly after this year’s record partial government shutdown left TSA employees working for weeks without pay. The funding lapse prompted thousands of officers to call out of work and about 1,100 to quit.Cummins is a former senior vice president at the government contractor Serco, which runs air traffic control towers at 60 American airports. He is taking over as the Trump administration seeks to expand private airport screening and cut thousands of TSA jobs. The Senate also confirmed Perez, a close friend of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and a former speaker of Florida’s House of Representatives, to be the next U.S. ambassador to Brazil.Perez has been central to an ongoing diplomatic dispute between the Trump administration and the government of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.Earlier this week, the State Department said the Brazilian government’s refusal to accept Perez’s appointment was a main reason for its decision to revoke the visa of Brazil’s ambassador to the United States. International diplomatic protocols demand that host countries approve any foreign ambassadors before they can take their posts.___Associated Press writers Rio Yamat in Las Vegas; Josh Funk in Omaha, Neb.; and Matthew Lee in Washington contributed to this report.

Colombia's President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella speaks during a press conference in Bogota, Colombia, Thursday, July 30, 2026. (AP Photo/John Vizcaino)2026-08-07T18:10:21Z BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — When Abelardo de la Espriella takes office as Colombia’s president on Friday, he’ll become the latest conservative to helm a Latin American country.Conservatives have won seven major presidential elections in Latin America in the past few years, most of them since the January 2025 inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, in a winning streak propelled by concerns over crime, immigration and slow economic growth.Here is a look at the Latin American countries that have elected conservative presidents recently:Colombia’s self-proclaimed ‘tiger’ to take on rebels and drug gangsTrump-endorsed outsider de la Espriella won Colombia’s presidential election in June by a narrow margin, defeating progressive lawmaker Iván Cepeda.De la Espriella, who is nicknamed “The Tiger,” campaigned on a tough-on-crime approach, which includes proposals like canceling peace talks with Colombian rebel groups and building mega-prisons, like those in El Salvador. De la Espriella’s election marks a pivotal moment for Colombia, which was governed for the past four years by a former member of a rebel group, who was critical of the Trump administration’s immigration and anti-drug policies.“The Tiger” has promised to tackle extortion and drug trafficking. He was endorsed by Trump, who described the lawyer and business owner as the candidate who could restore law and order in Colombia. Peru chooses conservative as 9th president in 10 yearsKeiko Fujimori, a business-friendly conservative politician who campaigned on a tough-on-crime platform, took office in July after winning the June presidential runoff by a margin of fewer than 50,000 votes.Fujimori is the daughter of late former President Alberto Fujimori, whose government defeated the Shining Path violent extremist group in the 1990s but also took an authoritarian turn. She has also pledged an aggressive crackdown on crime. She has promised to build four new prisons, including a mega-prison modeled after El Salvador’s CECOT facility, militarize Peru’s borders to curb drug trafficking and deport migrants working in the country without legal residency. Argentina chooses libertarian to tackle inflationJavier Milei, an economist and television commentator nicknamed “The Lion,” won Argentina’s presidential election in November 2023 by promising to slash government spending and tackle the South American nation’s decades-long inflation problem. The libertarian defeated the ruling Peronist movement.During his tenure, Milei has stopped the nation’s central bank from printing money to finance the government deficit and has cut government spending by firing civil servants and halting investment in public infrastructure programs, while reducing subsidies for public utility bills. Argentina’s inflation has fallen from 211% in 2023 to 32% in 2025. However, some have blamed Milei’s austerity policies for decreasing the living standards of many Argentines, including public sector workers. Read More Ecuador reelects leader who favors militaryDaniel Noboa, a member of one of Ecuador’s wealthiest families, was reelected to a four-year term in April 2025, winning the election with 56% of the vote. The conservative leader has given the military a more prominent role in providing security in coastal cities overrun by drug gangs fighting over the control of ports and drug trafficking routes. But the strategy has not substantially reduced homicide rates. The government also has been criticized for human rights abuses, such as extrajudicial executions. Under Noboa’s watch, Ecuador’s military has started to conduct joint operations against drug traffickers with the U.S. Noboa also pushed for the reopening of a U.S. military base in Ecuador, but the proposal was struck down in a referendum last year.

Honduras goes back to conservative partyNasry Asfura, a real estate investor and former city mayor of the National Party, narrowly won the presidential election in Honduras in November, defeating his closest rival by less than a percentage point. Asfura, who belongs to the same party as former President Juan Orlando Hernández who was pardoned by Trump for a drug trafficking conviction, was endorsed by the U.S. president, who threatened to cut off aid to the small Central American country if Asfura was not elected. Under Asfura’s administration, Honduras has received dozens of deportees from third countries through an agreement that was signed with the U.S. in early 2025, most of them Guatemalan nationals. Chile’s Kast defeats the progressive movementIn December, José Antonio Kast, a conservative and a devout Catholic, won Chile’s presidential election with 58% of the vote, defeating a progressive government that had been in power for the previous four years. In his campaigns, Kast capitalized on fears over increasing crime rates in Chile and said he would expel migrants from countries like Venezuela and Haiti who had been working in Chile without residency permits. One of his first moves after taking office has been to expand a trench along Chile’s borders with Peru and Bolivia in a bid, his government says, to stop drug trafficking and migration. Kast’s government has recently faced protests over increasing unemployment and budget cuts that have affected public servants. Costa Rica proposes tough-on-crime approachLaura Fernández, an economy minister under conservative ex-President Rodrigo Chaves, won Costa Rica’s election in February with 48% of the vote, defeating her closest rival by 15 percentage points and surpassing the 40% of votes needed to avoid a runoff election.During her campaign, Fernández proposed tough-on-crime measures, including a state of exception that would enable police to arrest suspects without warrants, and said she would build a mega prison modeled after El Salvador’s notorious CECOT penitentiary. Fernández’s government has received several flights with migrants from third countries deported by the U.S. as she complies with an agreement that was signed by her predecessor last year. In June, one of these flights had migrants from China, Vietnam, Colombia and Azerbaijan.___Follow AP’s Latin America coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/latin-america

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins (8) throws a pass during practice at the team's NFL football training camp, Thursday, July 30, 2026, in Henderson, Nev. (AP Photo/Ian Maule)2026-08-07T18:15:39Z HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and star pass rusher Maxx Crosby got into a scuffle late in practice Friday before their teammates quickly jumped in and separated them.Cousins, who is operating the first-team offense in training camp, remained on the field to finish the drive. Crosby, however, was sent to the sideline.“Those are two leaders of our team going at it, so that is part of camp,” coach Klint Kubiak said. “Obviously, if you fight in a game and throw a punch in game, then you’re out of the game. So we’ve got to be smart and treat it like a game.”Cousins appeared upset that Crosby tipped his pass, forcing an incompletion, and then charged the 6-foot-5, 256-pound defensive end who is three inches taller and 42 pounds heavier.“We don’t want to be throwing punches, but I think on any padded day of camp, there’s going to be some tussles,” tight end Michael Mayer said. “That’s our starting quarterback right now, and you want him to defend your team and you want him to have some edge to him, which he does. He’s always had since the first day I met him when he came in here.“I don’t want him getting thrown out. I don’t want him getting a flag. Nothing like that, but you’ve got to be able to defend yourself.”___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL 获取更多RSS：https://feedx.net https://feedx.site

Ohio State continued preseason training camp with a second practice on Aug. 7.Here are five notable developments, including early standouts on offense and rotations at position groups that are more in flux. Transfer receiver off to fast startDevin McCuin has been a standout through two practices.When he was lined up opposite Jeremiah Smith during an 11-on-11 period, he made a string of highlight-reel catches.McCuin beat safety Brenten Jones deep to catch a pass from quarterback Julian Sayin of around 50 yards and later leapt in the air to haul in a high throw over the middle. He also pulled down an over-the-shoulder grab along the sideline.It was little surprise that McCuin, a senior who transferred to Ohio State from UTSA in January, ran with the first-team offense. He took first-team reps throughout spring practice.But his start to camp has generated buzz between his flashy catches and consistency.“I feel like he’s a dog,” safety Earl Little Jr. said. “He gets in and out of his routes smooth. He can block. He’s physical at the point of attack.”McCuin was productive during his previous three seasons at UTSA, catching 152 passes for 1,696 yards and 16 touchdowns from 2023-25.Offensive line movementAustin Siereveld returned to left tackle after he opened camp at right guard the previous day.The move by Siereveld allowed for Josh Padilla to slide in as the right guard with the first-team offensive line.The Buckeyes have multiple options to fill their starting spot at right guard vacated following Tegra Tshabola’s transfer to Kentucky.Siereveld, who made six starts at left guard in 2024 before moving to left tackle last year, could be a candidate for the role on the interior. It would also clear a spot for Ian Moore at left tackle. Both were part of their initial offensive line arrangement at the start of camp.But the second practice revealed the Buckeyes are also giving Padilla a look as another potential starter on the line. Early push in the backfieldIsaiah West continued to build momentum for a larger role in the backfield this year.He saw all of the first-team carries during 11-on-11s while Bo Jackson was with the second-team.Both sophomore running backs had been limited during spring drills following shoulder surgeries. But West has made more of an impression early in camp, especially with multiple breakaway runs during their latest practice.While the Buckeyes have not transitioned into padded practices, West has shown a combination of balance and burst.West found a role as a freshman. He ran for 310 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games, though he was not the breakout star as Bo Jackson ran for 1,090 yards and six touchdowns in his debut, making the initial pecking order an intriguing development.Freshman gets opportunity at nickelJay Timmons was one of the three five-star recruits to sign with Ohio State in December, and it looks as if he’ll be in the mix for an immediate role.He lined up as the nickel back with the first-team defense while Dominick Kelly and Devin Sanchez were the outside cornerbacks.Timmons, the son of Lawrence Timmons, a former Pro Bowl linebacker with the Pittsburgh Steelers, flipped his commitment from Florida State to Ohio State a month before the early signing period late last year.Defensive tackle pairingsWhile the Buckeyes found additions at defensive tackle through the transfer portal in January, their returning linemen have been with the first-team defense.Eddrick Houston and Will Smith Jr. have taken the first-team reps ahead of James Smith and John Walker through two practices.Smith arrived as a transfer from Alabama and Walker from UCF.Joey Kaufman covers Ohio State football for The Columbus Dispatch.

Some South Marion High Schoolfootball home games won't be played on the campus this season because of multiple voids discovered under the field.Marion County Public Schools officials on Aug. 7 said the voids were found at seven different spots under the football field.Voids were described by school officials as an empty area underground, which could turn into a sinkhole if not addressed properly. They were detected by contractors using radar in early June.Usually, before a building is erected, contractors will perform ground samples to see if the site is safe. In this case, none was done because there wasn't going to be a building on a football field, officials said.2026 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Ocala, Marion County team-by-team schedulesHIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Off to Miami, Trenton Ramsey's swansong lives up to hype, leads All-County teamFROM THE ARCHIVES: Marion County School Board moves forward with new high schoolWork is presently being done on the field and it's expected to be wrapped up some time in October.In the meantime, the school's football games will be held on different Marion County high school grounds when available, school officials said.The cost to fix the issue is $617,917, and the funds were approved by the school board.About the schoolWharton-Smith Inc., a Sanford construction company, won the contract to build the school.Located at 1350 SW 165th St. near Marion Oaks, the school was built at a cost of more than $180 million. It sits on 115 acres and is projected to open Monday, Aug. 10, at its capacity of 2,011 students, according to school officials. Once a third floor is completed, the school will be able to have approximately 2,711 students.The school's funding came from "dollars borrowed by the Marion County School Board and secured through Certificates of Participation, a popular financing method for government entities. Local millage proceeds will also pay some of the construction costs," officials said.The groundbreaking was in December 2024. The school was built to relieve enrollment pressure from other schools, officials said.Contact Austin L.

Training camp isn't simply about installing plays or evaluating talent. It's about creating situations that players would rather avoid, then teaching them how to thrive anyway. That's exactly what the Baltimore Ravens' coaching staff has done with extended drives to test the offense and defense during training camp.In what was the longest practice of camp at 2 1/2 hours, Minter intentionally scripted long drives of eight and nine plays, which can take a toll on a day when the heat index reached 92 degrees."You want to be able to do all that with a high, high level of physicality and also keep your wits about you," Minter said.The periods have tested far more than physical endurance. It's no surprise that this was incorporated during the longest practice of the summer so far. As possessions drag on and fatigue begins to take hold, every snap becomes another opportunity to evaluate communication, discipline and execution. Talent alone isn't enough to survive those moments. Mental toughness becomes just as important, which presents an obvious lesson. The NFL rarely allows players to perform under ideal circumstances. The biggest possessions often come after a defense has already been on the field for several minutes or when an offense must sustain a long march without making the mistake that kills the drive.The Ravens are preparing for football's hardest momentsIt's hard to believe in some ways. It seemed it took forever for training camp to arrive. We blinked, and Baltimore has already logged a week's worth of practices. We've seen a Hall of Fame game. Football is upon us, and the Ravens are making the most of every opportunity to improve.Jesse Minter invited World Cup Champion Ferran Torres to offer his perspective on what it means to have a championship-winning mindset. His staff has helped take the lead in creating in-game situations at practice that Baltimore will no doubt see when the calendar turns its page from August to the NFL regular season.Long drives force players to fight through heavy legs, elevated heart rates, and mental fatigue while still remembering assignments and trusting technique. The physical challenge is obvious. The mental challenge is where the real growth occurs.Anyone can execute when they're fresh. Championship-caliber teams separate themselves by executing when exhaustion tempts them to take shortcuts. That's why these practice periods matter. The focus will, at times, shift to what the offense is doing, but players on both sides of the ball are learning that every additional snap demands continued attention to detail. Linemen must maintain their technique. Quarterbacks must continue making sound decisions. Skill players have to finish routes with the same urgency they showed at the beginning of the possession. The defense faces an equally difficult task. Instead of searching for an excuse, defenders are challenged to line up one more time, communicate one more call, and make one more stop.Those moments reveal habits that don't always appear during shorter practice segments. Training camp statistics won't capture that growth, and highlight reels certainly won't. Still, coaches often learn more from watching players respond to adversity than they do from watching them perform comfortably.The Ravens have made it clear that they're chasing more than execution. They're developing resilience. When the regular season inevitably presents a 14-play drive late in the fourth quarter or a game-defining series with tired bodies on both sides of the ball, Baltimore won't be experiencing those moments for the first time. The coaching staff has already been preparing the team to embrace them.This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Ravens use exhausting practice periods to develop resilience

Transparent Action, a parent-led initiative in the UK, sent the government a report detailing how kids were faring in school under different policies regarding trans students. The group urged the government to use 2026’s Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance (which sets out legal duties for schools) to protect trans children. The ministers never responded, and now the new guidance will ostracize and harm trans children. “We want what any parent wants—for our children to be happy and safe at school, to learn, make friends, be nurtured and take part in activities,” a representative for Transparent Action told LGBTQ Nation. “The new KCSIE guidance was an opportunity to bring all schools on board to be more inclusive but instead makes it more difficult for trans+ children and young people to understand their own identity, come out, and socially transition at school and college.” Related The UK’s new plan for trans students: bathroom bans, forced outing, & no social transitions Transparent Action describes itself as “proud parents taking a stand” to “form a collective voice to take action in support of our children and all trans people.” Earlier this year, it surveyed more than 100 families of trans, nonbinary, and gender-non-conforming children and asked about their school experiences. The median age was 14, but also included responses from families with adult children about their past experiences. The results showed some heartening stories of acceptance and trans-inclusive school policies. But they also showed how much harm schools that othered trans children and allowed bullying were doing. The new KCSIE guidance will also make it more difficult for those schools with inclusive policies to continue with them.

Subscribe to our Newsletter today They found that 45% of respondents said that their trans and nonbinary children had a negative experience at school. 58% of trans children said they had experienced problems with using the toilets at school, with 54% saying they were bullied for their gender identity. Transparent Action’s representative noted, “What’s so frustrating is our survey showed that many schools have been managing an inclusive environment where trans, nonbinary and gender diverse pupils thrive alongside their peers but, sadly, many more schools are failing their trans+ pupils.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Transparent Action (@transparentactionuk) Many of the children have not come out as trans at school, and either go to school as the wrong gender or live stealth, fearing what would happen in the current climate if people knew. One parent said, “He won’t come out at school as he doesn’t believe they will be able to protect him.” When it came to toilets, many schools prevented trans children from using the single-sex bathrooms at all and forced them to use the single-user disabled bathrooms, while other children were forced to use the wrong bathroom. “[They’re] forcing him to go into the wrong bathroom. He’s been presenting as a boy since he was five and nobody thinks he’s a girl. It’s really strange to have a boy go in the girls’ room.” This sort of policy led to students simply avoiding using the toilet, with one parent reporting their child “refused to drink all day for fear of having to use the toilet and being bullied regardless of which toilet they chose to use.” When it comes to physical education (PE), the stories around being barred from the appropriate changing room highlighted uncomfortable ways to avoid changing, or fully opting out of part of the school experience to avoid harassment. “There is no changing space for trans kids for PE. My child wears his PE kit under his uniform,” said one parent, while another said, “he opts out of PE due to inadequate changing arrangements.” The report also paints a picture of the dangers of not having policies in place to ensure that trans and nonbinary children are appropriately named and gendered by staff and faculty. “A lot of transphobic bullying, including physical violence,” one parent reported, was exacerbated because of “several teachers continually misgendering him, bolstering the bullies.” All of this, the report explains, worsened children’s depression and anxiety (a conclusion which is supported by past studies by The Trevor Project). “My child has missed an entire year of school due to stress and anxiety in school,” explained one parent. Another said, “My child started self-harming due to the way they are treated at school.” All of these issues will get worse when the new KCSIE comes into effect on September 1. Those schools that have been providing trans-inclusive spaces and ensuring that children are correctly gendered by staff will, in most cases, be forced to desist. Schools where the situation was already bad for trans kids will get worse as the harassment will be effectively sanctioned. While allowances such as single-user disabled bathrooms might seem like an acceptable workaround, the avoidance of gendered bathrooms raises questions that can prompt speculation and bullying. “It is scary having to look around before to see if anyone will see me going into the single-user restroom, as I worry about people gossiping and speculating about me being transgender,” said a trans student in Idaho shortly before dying by suicide earlier this year. Transparent Action told LGBTQ Nation of one UK parent’s trans child who died by suicide. In the coroner’s report, the child’s treatment at school over their gender identity was considered a contributing factor. “Anti-trans attitudes are already harming trans+ pupils, who often struggle to attend, and as parents we are extremely anxious about the start of the new term in September,” Transparent Action said. Transparent Action’s 40-page report, as well as a summary highlighting the key details, was sent in April to then-Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson, and the Chair of the UK House of Commons Education Committee, Helen Hayes. They also provided a pledge which now has over 2,000 signatures in support of trans people, and when the original draft of the KCSIE guidance was released, they also used the report as a basis for an official response and comment. After ensuring that the government had all the facts on how much the KCSIE draft and other school policies would harm trans, nonbinary, and gender-non-conforming children, Transparent Action received no reply or acknowledgment beyond automated receipts. Lucy Powell replaced Phillipson in July after Andy Burnham became Prime Minister, but there is still no reply. The UK government has a track record of ignoring the experiences of the trans people their policies will affect. The UK Supreme Court case that decided trans women were not women for the purposes of the 2010 Equality Act and led to the dangerous EHRC guidance that has just gone into effect did not hear from any trans women. The Cass Review famously discounted the opinions of trans children. It’s unclear what direction the Labour government will take on trans issues under Prime Minister Andy Burnham. While he has spoken in favor of trans rights, he has also said that the EHRC guidance should be enforced but in a way that will not “marginalize already marginalized communities.” He has claimed his is a politics of change, but he has not yet made any moves to change the harm the government is doing to trans people in the country.

Lindsay Clancy waits for the judge to call a prospective jury member into court in her murder trial where she is charged in the 2023 killing of her three children, Wednesday, July 22, 2026, in Plymouth Superior Court in Plymouth, Mass. (Greg Derr/The Patriot Ledger via AP, Pool)2026-08-07T18:34:24Z Lindsay Clancy ‘s murder trial zeroed in Friday on the nearly five days that the Massachusetts mother spent in a psychiatric hospital a few weeks before she killed her three children.Her stay is a key chapter in both the prosecution and defense narratives about her mental state when she strangled the children in their suburban home and then jumped out a second-story window. In questioning one of her McLean Hospital psychiatrists on Friday, a prosecutor underscored that Clancy denied to hospital clinicians that she wanted to hurt anyone else or planned to kill herself. Clancy’s lawyer, meanwhile, aimed to flesh out the defense’s claim that she sought mental health help for months, wasn’t properly diagnosed as she went from provider to provider, and was put on a series of medications that left her worse off. ___EDITOR’S NOTE: This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988. ___Clancy has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the January 2023 strangling deaths of Callan, Dawson and Cora Clancy, who ranged from 8 months to 5 years old. They were found in the basement of the family’s home in coastal Duxbury, Massachusetts, and their mother was lying, badly injured, in the yard. She remains paralyzed from the waist down. Prosecutors argue that Clancy, a 35-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, was an intentional killer who attacked her children after getting her husband out of the house by asking him to run errands. The defense doesn’t dispute that she killed the children but says she shouldn’t be held criminally responsible, contending that she was so mentally ill that she heard voices telling her to kill them and herself. In the criminal trial and a medical malpractice lawsuit, Clancy’s attorneys say she had bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis — a break with reality that a small fraction of women have after childbirth — that weren’t fully diagnosed until after the killings, though one of her outpatient providers considered bipolar disorder in 2022. Read More Clancy recounted that provider’s opinion and disagreed with it after she checked herself into McLean early on New Year’s Day 2023, psychiatrist Dr. Alia Goodheart told jurors Friday. When Goodheart joined Clancy’s lineup of providers that Jan. 3, the patient expressed concerns about an antipsychotic medication she’d previously been prescribed to help with insomnia, and about feeling numb, which can be a side effect of that drug, Goodheart said. She diagnosed her with insomnia with a mental health condition and tapered down the medication. Sign up for Morning Wire: Our flagship newsletter breaks down the biggest headlines of the day.

Clancy then reported she could sleep, was eager to go home in time for a long-planned belated birthday party for Cora, and booked herself follow-up outpatient care, the psychiatrist testified. The hospital discharged her that Jan. 5 with prescriptions for an antianxiety drug and a sleep aid.“She had never stated that she had any thoughts of harming anybody else,” Goodheart told jurors. And although Clancy said she’d had suicidal thoughts, she denied having them in the moment and indeed said she had reasons not to take her own life: “her children and her family, her mother,” Goodheart recalled.When defense lawyer Kevin Reddington had his turn to question the psychiatrist, he emphasized that the hospital care team didn’t do various tests — Goodheart said they weren’t necessary — or learn that she had called a suicide hotline that fall. Nor did the providers talk to various outpatient clinicians who had treated Clancy over the prior months, though they did speak to her husband. “She was very sick, wasn’t she?” Reddington asked at one point.“I don’t know what you mean,” Goodheart responded. If convicted of murder, Clancy faces life in prison without parole. If found not guilty due to a lack of criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental health facility.

The logo of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors is seen before a news conference with Federal Reserve Board Chairman Kevin Warsh at the Federal Reserve in Washington, Wednesday, July 29, 2026. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2026-08-07T18:44:35Z WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is moving ahead with its efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, two months after the Supreme Court allowed her to retain her job while she fights the president’s effort to terminate her over mortgage fraud allegations that she has denied.The justices, in a 5-4 decision in June, said Cook, who was nominated to the Fed’s Board of Governors by President Joe Biden, could remain in her post at least as long as her lawsuit challenging her firing goes on. The Trump administration is appealing a lower-court ruling in Cook’s favor.Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in a footnote in his opinion that nothing forbids President Donald Trump from “trying again” to fire Cook, provided she is given proper notice and a chance to contest it. Trump indicated, after the opinion, that he would do just that, vowing to “take appropriate action immediately.” In a letter this week obtained by The Associated Press, White House aide Dan Scavino told Cook that Trump was “considering removing you from your position” but cited the Supreme Court’s requirement of proper notice in giving her until August 26 to challenge it.The attempt to fire Cook is rooted in a criminal referral made last August by Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, that accused her of committing mortgage fraud by declaring two different homes – one in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and one in Atlanta – as “primary residence.’’ Homebuyers can get lower mortgage rates or smaller down payments on their primary homes compared to second or vacation homes. Cook has aggressively defended herself against the allegations, saying the president had attempted to oust her “on a manufactured pretext because I refused to bow to political pressure and continued to set interest rates based only on what would best serve the American people.’’ Read More Her lawyer, Abbe Lowell, argued in a November letter that Cook has mostly lived in the Ann Arbor property since first purchasing it in 2005. As a result, it was accurate for her to refer to it as her “primary residence” in a June 2021 application to refinance its mortgage, the letter said. A month later, she purchased a condominium in Atlanta and, in a July 2021 document, also referred to it as her “primary residence.” Lowell said that it was an “isolated notation” that did not reflect an intent to defraud. An earlier mortgage application to the same lender in May 2021 had referred to the Atlanta condo as a “vacation home,” Lowell said. Cook also referred to it as a second home in federal filings during her confirmation process to become a Fed governor.The latest White House letter largely rehashes the year-old allegations.“These allegations are as baseless now as they were a year ago when President Trump tried to remove Governor Cook and interfere with the independence of the Federal Reserve,” Lowell said in a statement. “No matter what President Trump tries to do next, this much is clear under the facts and Supreme Court precedent — there is no valid cause for removing Governor Cook. As we did before, we will challenge this latest pretext and preserve her position and the historic role of the Fed,” he added.

FLE - A crew removes the statue of Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson, July 1, 2020, in Richmond, Va. (AP Photo/Steve Helber, File)2026-08-07T18:34:33Z ROANOKE, Va. (AP) — A federal judge has sided with the Virginia NAACP in its lawsuit against a county school board’s reinstatement of Confederate military names to two schools, saying the decision discriminated against Black students and ordering the board to change the schools’ monikers again.In an opinion filed Thursday in U.S. District Court of Virginia, Judge Michael F. Urbanski said the school board in Shenandoah County violated Black students’ rights under the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, which forbids racial discrimination in state-supported institutions. The decision also violates the Equal Educational Opportunities Act, the court found. Confederate army officers’ names are “vestiges” of Shenandoah County’s segregationist history that required separate schools for Black and white students.“The Confederate names were restored with complete awareness of their historic legacy and ongoing discriminatory impact,” Urbanski wrote. “In the court’s view, the affirmative act of reinstating these vestiges of segregation is far more problematic than a passive failure to remove a long-standing name or symbol.” The judge ordered the board to settle on new school names “on a racially nondiscriminatory basis with all deliberate speed.” Unlike memorials named after Confederate figures, schools are places where children should have an “educational environment free of vestiges of racial discrimination,” Urbanski added. Jim Guynn, the attorney representing Shenandoah County, did not immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment. Read More In a statement Friday, the NAACP Virginia State Conference called the ruling “a decisive victory” for students.“For decades, the practice of honoring Confederate leaders in Virginia schools has been steeped in a history of racial discrimination,” said its president, the Rev. Cozy Bailey. “The school board’s 2024 renaming decision is impossible to explain except through the lens of race.”The Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs represented the NAACP. “The court acknowledged that such names inflict real, racially disproportionate harm,” said Kaitlin Banner, deputy legal director. The Virginia NAACP filed the suit on behalf of six students and their parents in June 2024 after the school board voted 5-1 to change Mountain View High School back to Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary back to Ashby-Lee Elementary, which combines the names of Gen. Robert E. Lee and Turner Ashby, a Confederate cavalry officer. The board reversed a 2020 decision to remove the original names against a backdrop of nationwide protests over racial injustice.The NAACP argued in its lawsuit that Black students, who make up less than 3% of the school system’s population, would be “required against their will to endorse the violent defense of slavery pursued by the Confederacy and the symbolism that these images have in the modern White supremacist movement.”Under President Donald Trump’s second administration, some statues honoring Confederate figures have been restored after being removed in 2020. It is part of Trump’s ongoing efforts to control how American history is framed at Smithsonian museums, monuments in national parks and in classrooms.Board members who voted to restore the Confederate names said they were honoring popular community sentiment. They said the previous board members who voted to remove the names in 2020 had ignored constituents and due process on the matter. 获取更多RSS：https://feedx.net https://feedx.site

Detroit Lins running back Jahmyr Gibbs runs a drill during practice at the NFL football team's training camp, in Allen Park, Mich., Friday, Aug. 7, 2026. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)2026-08-07T18:33:45Z ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Lions Pro Bowl running back Jahmyr Gibbs finally got what he wanted.A record-setting contract brought financial security, but for Gibbs, it also ended an anxious wait that had kept him off the practice field.“This process has been extremely stressful,” Gibbs said Friday, one day after signing a three-year contract extension that made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. “I just wanted to play ball. I missed being out there with my teammates and coaches and it’s just fun being out there now.”The extension, agreed to Thursday, is worth $67.5 million over three years and could reach $75.75 million with incentives. It includes $51.5 million in guaranteed money, according to multiple reports, surpassing the deal Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson signed earlier this week.After signing the contract, Gibbs participated only in individual drills Friday, but said the biggest relief was putting the negotiations behind him. Three years ago, many questioned whether the Lions had reached by selecting a running back with the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.Gibbs said the criticism never bothered him. “For me, I didn’t really care, because I knew what I could do, and I was confident in myself,” he said.Three seasons into his career, Gibbs has put together one of the most productive starts by a running back in NFL history.Despite sharing the backfield with David Montgomery, Gibbs has scored 49 total touchdowns in his first three NFL seasons, the most by any player during that span. He broke the previous record of 47 set by Hall of Famer and former Lion Barry Sanders. Read More Last season, Gibbs totaled 1,839 yards from scrimmage, including 1,223 rushing yards and 616 receiving yards, while scoring 18 touchdowns. He also set career highs with 77 receptions, 616 receiving yards and five touchdown catches.Since entering the league, Gibbs has rushed for 3,580 yards — seventh-most in the NFL during that span — while averaging 5.3 yards per carry. He has topped 1,200 rushing yards in each of the past two seasons and caught at least 50 passes in all three years. Lions Associate Head Coach Scottie Montgomery said Gibbs earned the extension through both his production and his professionalism.“He has came in from day one and did everything we asked him to do,” Montgomery said. “He is what a pro should be.”Montgomery said Gibbs has continued to improve each season while maintaining the same approach that made him the 12th overall pick.“I hope a lot of kids, a lot of people are watching the way that he went about the process,” Montgomery said. “Going from year one to year two to year three and continually getting better.”Montgomery also pointed to Gibbs’ versatility as one of the reasons he has become such an important part of Detroit’s offense.“When you got a guy like Jah, you can be a bell cow and touch it 10 times and have 200 total yards,” Montgomery said. “He can play at the receiver position. He can play at the wing position. He can play at the back.”Gibbs said he heard from several fellow NFL running backs after agreeing to the extension, including Robinson, Montgomery, Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, James Cook and De’Von Achane. Gibbs said signing the extension also means he gets to remain in a city he has embraced since arriving in 2023.“Before I got here, everything you hear about Detroit is negative,” Gibbs said. “Since I’ve been here, all I can say is positive things. The people, there’s a lot of good food, the culture.“I love being here. I’m so glad I get to be here for the next five years.”___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
