The biggest rivalry in the WNBA delivered. Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream squad rolled into Indy and handed Caitlin Clark a brutal 108-101 reality check. If you took the over, go buy yourself a drink. Let's start with the ATL Barbie. Reese looked cooked after picking up four quick fouls in the first half, spending way too much time riding the pine. SOUTH CAROLINA COACH DAWN STALEY WEIGHS IN ON CAITLIN CLARK-ANGEL REESE RIVALRY: ‘IT’S GREAT FOR THE WNBA' But ultimately, Reese finished with an impressive 21 points and 11 rebounds. With 23 seconds left, she bullied her way to a clutch and-one layup to seal the deal. Meanwhile, Clark looked flashy rocking her brand-new signature Nike kicks, dropping 26 points and seven assists. The problem? Indiana treated the basketball like a live grenade down the stretch. The Fever coughed up 17 turnovers . Atlanta's starting five was also a total buzzsaw. Every single starter scored 16 points or more points. Jordin Canada, Naz Hillmon...

The Senate Banking Committee convened a hearing June 11 around a question that cuts to the core of American competitiveness and the American Dream: Can the United States ensure that rapid advances in artificial intelligence support "innovation, affordability, and American dominance?" Those three goals are inseparable, and they all hinge on a single variable: ensuring that the world’s most advanced chips stay in American hands and out of China ’s. President Ronald Reagan understood this logic during the Cold War, when his administration moved aggressively to deny the Soviet Union access to cutting-edge Western technology — not because the Soviets lacked talent, but because denying them the tools was itself a strategic weapon. The same principle applies today. Indiana Republican Sen. Jim Banks and Florida Republican Rep. Brian Mast understand the stakes. The "AI Overwatch Act" they are advancing in the House and Senate is the right answer. China already has world-cla...

A Florida couple who welcomed a child genetically unrelated to them after an alleged embryo mix-up at a fertility clinic they subsequently sued will raise the child as their own after reaching an agreement with the child's biological parents, according to the couple. Tiffany Score and Steven Mills welcomed a daughter, Shea, in December of last year. Later, genetic testing revealed that the baby was related to another set of parents, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this year against the now-defunct fertility clinic IVF Life, Inc., which operated as Fertility Center of Orlando before shuttering last month. Score and Mills said they have come to a "mutually devised custody agreement" with Shea's biological parents, and plan to develop "a relationship of friendship and trust" together, according to ABC News. The pair will continue to raise Shea as their own and will remain her custodial parents, according to the custody agreement filed on June 12, the outl...

A Florida appeals court ruled Wednesday that the state's ban on concealed carry by adults ages 18 to 20 violates the Second Amendment , finding that young adults are entitled to the same constitutional protections as law-abiding adults over the age of 20. In a sweeping opinion, the court said 18-year-olds can serve in the military and defend the nation but face restrictions on their ability to exercise the same self-defense rights available to older adults. "Eighteen- to 20-year-olds can defend the country without restriction but can only utilize their Second Amendment right to self-defense with severe restrictions," Judge Spencer D. Levine wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel of Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeals. "Restricting 18- to 20-year-olds — members of the same 'political community' as other law-abiding adults — from rights to self-defense would make the Second Amendment a 'second-class' right," Levine wrote. FEDERAL JUDGE ...

A top Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) official has been accused of helping funnel more than $1.2 million in donor funds to a confidential informant who infiltrated a neo-Nazi organization — a source prosecutors say was also the official’s secret romantic partner. The details were revealed in a superseding indictment filed June 2 by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against the SPLC, which has faced mounting scrutiny over allegations that it funded individuals tied to extremist groups it publicly opposed. According to the document, the director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project was in a secret romantic relationship with a paid field source who infiltrated a neo-Nazi organization known as the National Alliance at the direction of SPLC.  The SPLC director reportedly shared a home with the source and allegedly used a fake company to funnel charitable funds to the partner. A significant portion of the money reportedly ended up in a shared bank account used to fund their life together. NE...

At-large D.C. Council member Robert White Jr. won the Democratic primary Tuesday for Eleanor Holmes Norton’s longtime non-voting congressional seat, putting him on track to become the district’s first new member of Congress since 1991. The rare open-seat contest for D.C.’s delegate post came after Norton, 88, announced she would not seek another term following 18 terms in Congress. The Democratic nominee will advance to the November general election in heavily Democratic Washington, where the party’s nominee is heavily favored against Republican and third-party challengers. D.C.’s delegate can introduce legislation, serve on committees and advocate for the district on Capitol Hill, but the role does not include a final vote on the House floor. The race comes as Washington continues its long-running fight over statehood, home rule and federal control of the nation’s capital. The primary race was held under D.C.’s new ranked-choice voting system, but White was able to secure the nomin...
