What is the transgender debate being discussed in the U.S. Supreme Court?
A transgender debate at the U.S. Supreme Court. Lisa Brady, Fox News. As the justices heard the fight over two state bans on transgender athletes playing in women's sports.
There are two cases being argued today, back to back. One out of Idaho, one out of West Virginia. And athletics is really the center of this, but this umbrella question has emerged.
How do the Idaho and West Virginia cases impact transgender athletes?
It's really how does gender identity fit, if at all, into federal sex-based protections?
Fox's Alexandria Hoff. In the Idaho case, an attorney for a biological male athlete argues the ban should not apply because her client suppressed testosterone, mitigating any sex-based advantage against athletes born female. But Idaho's Solicitor General Alan Hurst takes issue with arguments about needing to make exceptions.
Those arguments don't limit themselves to people who identify as transgender. Many males could say, I can't really compete with the women's basketball team, and therefore I should be able to try out.
Lower courts struck down both states' bans. More protesters are dying in Iran and a government crackdown on mass demonstrations against the regime.
These new reports indicate more than 3,000 people have been killed since these anti-government demonstrations began in Iran. And the true number, according to the sources that we've talked to, is expected to be much higher. Overnight, thousands of people gathered once again in the streets of major cities, including the capital of Tehran. Further south in the city of Isfahan, Fox News was able to make contact with a man who is using Starlink. He described battles between protesters and security forces who are using live ammunition. On the call, he said the government has really repressed them using weapons of war against the demonstrators.

Republicans in Congress roll out a framework for passing President Trump's agenda before the end of the year.
The Republican Study Committee, the largest House GOP caucus on Capitol Hill, wants to utilize reconciliation for a second time this Congress. It's the process used to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act with a simple majority in both chambers. It would be political malpractice. If we did not pursue a path of reconciliation. Chairman August Fluger says the RSC's framework includes legislation focused on health care and housing affordability with the goal of cutting spending by $1.6 trillion. But getting a bill across the finish line will be a challenge with a slim GOP majority. Losing just a few votes could sink any bills.
Fox's Ryan Schmelz on the Hill. Hot button issues could also scuttle budget bills, including the ongoing debate over now expired Obamacare subsidies and immigration enforcement. Some Democrats hoping to block ICE funding, even at the risk of another government shutdown. Current government funding runs out at the end of this month. As protests intensify in Minnesota after a deadly shooting last week in Minneapolis, the state is suing to stop a surge of federal agents calling it an invasion.
Border Czar Tom Homan says ICE action wouldn't be needed if Minnesota granted ICE access to over 1,300 in jails targeted for deportation. On top of the hundreds more the state has set free. Stop forcing this into the community. This can be done a lot safer. DHS releasing a list of some of the criminal illegals targeted by ICE, including child sex offenders, murderers, and drug dealers.
