Jemele Hill's sidekick Cari Champion finally admits she 'doesn't like' WNBA star Caitlin Clark
There was a time when the mean girls of the WNBA and sports media denied their disdain for Caitlin Clark. "No one dislikes Caitlin. We are just telling the truth," they’d say.
Now, some of them openly brag about it.
Former ESPN host and failed broadcaster Cari Champion admitted as much this week during a podcast with Jemele Hill.
"That type of blatant favoritism annoys the hell out of me," Champion said while discussing Clark dismissing the controversy surrounding her late scratch from a home game last week.
"I don’t know if this is her fault, because I think it might be unfair for me to say that this is her fault. But at the same time, it’s like, why is she getting this special treatment? It’s, yet again, another example of the league and its fans being so precious with her."
Champion then admitted she simply doesn’t like Clark as a person.
"The more we get to catch these glimpses of Caitlin Clark, I’m like, ‘I don’t like you. I don’t like the way you behave on the court,’" Champion stated.
And what about the players who target Clark with cheap shots, hard fouls and obvious resentment?

Specifally, Champion says she dislikes Clark's "entitlement."
"The way that you behave, this entitlement, the way you are talking to your coaches… you enjoy that. So if that’s what you enjoy, if you want to be the villain, if you want to be the tough person, then let it be. Because we’re coming at you the same way we could come at anyone else."
Except you aren’t.
Like most self-appointed WNBA analysts, Champion coddles nearly every player except Clark, including Angel Reese and DiJonai Carrington, both of whom have openly positioned themselves against her.
Amusingly, Champion is best known as Jemele Hill’s sidekick. Yet, in many ways, she is even less likeable.
Hill plays a character. Her outrage toward White athletes, voters and America often feels performative. Off camera, Hill chooses to work with, socialize with, and live around the very people she publicly condemns.
Champion, on the other hand, comes across as genuinely bitter.

That reputation followed her at ESPN, where colleagues often viewed her as miserable and difficult. She also appears deeply frustrated by her lack of success in sports media.
OutKick reached out to Champion for comment. If she responds, we will update this story.
In recent years, Champion has tried pivoting into political commentary on CNN. The transition has not gone well. She routinely sounds unprepared and uninformed when discussing real-world political issues.
Here’s one example from a debate with a CNN conservative commentator:
Not great.
In many ways, Champion herself comes across as entitled, the exact term she used to vilify Clark.
Still, we appreciate her admitting she "doesn’t like" Clark. The next time the mean girls insist no one has it out for the Fever guard, we can point to Champion’s own words.
We now know for certain that Cari Champion does.
Siblings catch their partners sleeping together, a corrections employee love story & unhinged non-negotiables
If you're doing it at night, like most couples, you're doing it wrong. That's not my opinion. That's according to an expert. I know we normally ease into the week of True Romance with some lighthearted banter and maybe a celebrity or two setting the tone.
Not this week. This week I wanted to change it up. The unofficial start of summer has arrived, June is around the corner, and I felt like it was a good time for us all to slap ourselves in the face with a different perspective on how we've been conducting our business.
Let's mix it up. Let's flip over some tables and see what this clip from a clinical psychologist and sleep expert from earlier this month is all about. His name is Dr. Michael Breus and the clip in question from some podcast appearance has almost a million views.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
That's good enough for me. He got into a bunch of scientific talk about estrogen and testosterone. He threw out words like cortisol and melatonin, which I'm sure were all valid points, but that's not what got my attention.
He started talking my language and I went from contemplating whether to even mention his sex in the morning idea to I'm leading the week off with it. Here's what the doc had to say:
"What do most men wake up with in the morning? An erection. If that's not Mother Nature telling you when to use that thing, I don't know what is."
Sold. Dr. Breus is making a lot of sense here. He does add that you might want to brush your teeth beforehand, which some could take as a sign that perhaps morning isn’t the best time to "use that thing." I'll admit there's room to conduct a lot of research here, but I love a good "you're a bunch of idiots" coming from an expert.
What does this have to do with the rest of what is on the agenda this week? Not much. Like I said, I wanted to mix it up. Give you something to contemplate before we get going. Let me know what you think.
Are you going to start getting it on in the morning instead of between 10:30 and 11:30 p.m., which is when the doctor says most people are getting busy?

Siblings catch their partners sleeping together
A brother and sister in their 20s, who are still living at home, started to suspect that their partners were cheating on them. They didn’t just suspect that they were cheating either, they suspected they were cheating with each other.
The suspicion grew to the point that action had to be taken. The siblings eventually had to find evidence and a decision was eventually made to go snooping on one of their phones.
"My brother Darren and I think that our partners are cheating on us with each other. I’ve been dating my boyfriend Cole for a year now and my brother recently started dating Sage about a month ago. We still live with our mom as I still go to school and my older brother helps with bills and our younger brother. We just feel it’s better this way especially after everything we’ve been through recently as a family but that’s a whole different story," the sister wrote on Reddit.
Cole moved in last year and Sage has been spending the night for weeks. The two would disappear at night and the siblings started to put it all together. They were disappearing to go see each other, or so the brother and sister suspected.
That suspicion led to a search of Cole’s phone and the evidence they were looking for. The sister found out that the two have been texting since the day they met Sage.
"It looked like it was like normal conversations at first, then the messages would be like "he/she (my brother or me) are gone/asleep, come to the room/meet in the bathroom?" or "that was fun ;)" just flirty texts like that. So that pretty much confirmed it," she wrote.
Then she found a video of the two. Her boyfriend and her brother’s girlfriend in the family home no less. Could they have been forgiven if the cheating had taken place elsewhere? We’ll never know. These two decided to do it in the family home.
The siblings kicked these two cheaters to the curb.
"I’ve never had to deal with a cheater in real life let alone two, but man is it PATHETIC when they get caught," she added. "I literally had to hold back a laugh when Cole started crying because why are you the one crying when I’m the victim?"
I know it’s a weakness of mine. I’m aware, I acknowledge it, I’m working on it. But I can’t help myself. I’m holding out hope that this story is told from Cole and Sage’s point of view to a house full of their grandchildren. Wouldn’t that be special?

Corrections worker found love with an inmate on Facebook
A former department of corrections employee is in trouble with the law for loving the wrong person at the wrong time. He’s accused of having an illegal sexual relationship with an inmate, The Wichita Eagle reports.
This wasn’t just any inmate to Jonah K. Bundy. This inmate was one he allegedly told in jail phone calls and emails that he loved and that he "would go to jail for her" and "wished there were conjugal visits."
Their relationship began like a lot of others do, with a friend request on Facebook, according to the inmate. She says she sent him that friend request in December 2025. The affidavit says that she was in the Sedgwick County Adult Residential and Work Release Facility in Wichita at the time, and he worked there during the third shift.
Bundy reportedly responded to the request with a message giving the inmate his phone number. They started texting, and the affidavit states the messages "were sexual in context" and that "they would specifically talk about sex."
The two allegedly started seeing each other away from the facility. He would pick her up from her job, and they even went to a restaurant together before she eventually "went to Bundy’s house to have sex with him," the inmate told investigators.
The affidavit says the two considered themselves to be boyfriend and girlfriend. But it was a relationship that Bundy knew was illegal, according to the inmate.
He ended up quitting his job, but it was too late. Authorities found out about the relationship in January and arrested Bundy in March. He was then charged with two counts of unlawful sexual relations. He’s due in court on June 1.
If only they would have met on the outside.
What’s your most unhinged non-negotiable when it comes to dating?
If you ask me, there are far too many people with unrealistic standards they expect others to live by. If they don't check all the boxes, they move on. Having said that, and given that these are supposedly "unhinged non-negotiables," I find these expectations to be very reasonable.
For example, a person who can't enjoy a ceremonial mask collection as much as you do, probably isn’t someone you want to spend a lot of time around. Nobody wants to date a twin either.
If you can't enjoy the art of filmmaking, just say that. There's no reason to call "Shrek 2" overrated. And since when is it okay to put wooden handled knives in the dishwasher? Don't get me started on dinosaurs.
Here are some of those dating unhinged non-negotiables, which I find reasonable, via Reddit:
Sex Addiction
- Anonymous writes:
I had a beautiful German wife very intelligent and outgoing, but she could not turn down a good looking guy for sex. She rated the extra marital sex like innocently having coffee with them. I should have realized what she liked as I was sexing her daily when she was married. Soon after marriage sex was just 2 times a week. So phycology she got more exit d when cheating. I think it is the excitement of doing something wrong and getting away with it. There are millions of husbands who frequent strip clubs. Where everything happens except sexual intercourse. That might be a good article. Go interview as one strippers and they can tell that the lap dances are only part of the satisfaction , that flirting and making the man feel wanted is of equal value.

Thanks for reaching out. Loving too much is something a lot of people struggle with. I hope you've found someone who has eyes for only you.
Best of luck and I'll toss that stripper interview idea around and see where it lands.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani launches Elon Musk-style ‘COGE’ chaired by Soros-aligned Dem
Several months into his administration, New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is taking a page from Elon Musk’s book by launching a city Commission on Government Efficiency, or "COGE."
Mamdani’s commission, however, will be staffed by a group of progressives and Democrats, including a George Soros-aligned chair, according to a statement from New York City.
The mayor said on Thursday that the commission "will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people." He emphasized that "New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are."
A statement by the city said COGE will be chaired by Patrick Gaspard, a longtime Democratic operative who formerly worked as executive director of the Democratic National Committee and president of the Soros family’s Open Society Foundation.
The statement said Mamdani has charged the commission with reviewing the "entire New York City Charter" to determine ways to "better support public excellence by improving efficiency, modernizing city government and ensuring government keeps pace with New Yorkers’ needs."
According to the statement, COGE is expected to remove "outdated bureaucratic barriers that slow infrastructure projects and delay services"; equip city agencies with the authority, enforcement tools and flexibility they need to deliver programs effectively; and modernize government to improve efficiency and savings, reserve and budget practices.
The commission will also hold 10 public hearings across New York’s five boroughs, after which proposals will be brought to voters through the upcoming November ballot.
Mamdani emphasized in the statement that "for too long, bureaucracy has stood in the way of delivering the housing, transit, child care and public services our city needs." He added that "restoring faith in government starts with proving government can actually deliver."
This comes after Mamdani met with current Open Society Foundation board chair Alex Soros, George Soros’ son, at his Manhattan residence.
'WASTEFUL DISTRACTION': EXPERTS SLAM MAMDANI'S TAXPAYER-FUNDED GROCERY STORES
The city wrote on X that it is "excited" to work with Gaspard on the commission.
Gaspard, who chaired the Open Society Foundation between 2017 and 2020 and previously served as a senior advisor to former president Barack Obama, said that "New Yorkers deserve and need a government of the possible — one that can urgently build infrastructure, promote small business growth, and make the city more livable with accessible childcare and affordable groceries."
Gaspard added, "I am grateful to Mayor Mamdani for the opportunity to chair this commission, and I look forward to listening to New Yorkers to develop the charter for the 21st century government we need."
In an Open Society Foundation statement announcing his departure in 2020, Gaspard called it a "profound honor" to lead the Soros-linked organization. He wrote that "fundamental social change doesn’t customarily occur in a revolutionary moment. Instead, what is needed is the partnership of activists, government, and the nonprofit sector, collaborating over time and space in unity and solidarity."
"This is what I worked to do at Open Society," he said, adding, "My commitment now will be to re-enter the world of politics and ideas, where I can continue the struggle against oppression everywhere."
According to the city, the commission will also include Susan Kang, a member of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America and author of the book "Human Rights and Labor Solidarity: Trade Unions in the Global Economy."
Theodore Moore, executive director of ALIGN, a progressive advocacy organization, where the city said he has focused on "setting the organization’s strategic vision for worker power and climate justice."
NYC MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI RELEASES AUDIT ACCUSING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENTS OF MISLEADING TACTICS
Besides them, there were several other activists and community leaders, most of whom are associated with the Democratic Party in various forms. Notably absent from the commission, however, were any New York Republicans.
Joe Borelli, a former Republican New York City councilmember who has long advocated for city government reform, responded to COGE’s launch by commenting on X, "How haven’t I been appointed to this already, @ZohranKMamdani?"
Borelli told Fox News Digital that "as the new mayor and his team are taking socialist governance out for its American test drive, they are realizing that there needs to be a constant source of revenue to pay for all."
"Ironically," he continued, "they are coming to see that it’s big government that stands in the way of most economic growth."
Fox News Digital reached out to the mayor's office, the Open Society Foundation, Gaspard, Moore and Kang for comment.
WATCH: Dem senator says Platner's struggles speak to ‘regular people’ amid backlash over resurfaced posts
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is sticking by Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, claiming voters are resonating with his "regular people" struggles.
It comes as Democrats face pressure over whether to distance themselves from Platner over resurfaced Reddit posts belittling a U.S. soldier and making crude sexual remarks about masturbation. The controversy threatens Democrats' chances of flipping Maine’s Republican-held seat to try to regain control of the Senate.
"It seems like the people of Maine like the fact that he's talking about the struggles that regular people are going through," Murphy told Fox News Digital when confronted about the controversy.
"And don't like the fact that their current senator seems to be empowering a pretty corrupt agenda in this administration," he added.
VETS TORCH DEM SENATE HOPEFUL WHO CALLED ARMY ‘FAT, LAZY TRASH,’ MOCKED SOLDIER SHOT FOUR TIMES
Murphy, who has not yet formally endorsed him as a candidate, was asked whether he would rescind his support for Platner give the thousands of now-deleted Reddit posts.
"I’m supporting him," the Connecticut senator told Fox News Digital.
Before Platner’s troubling past came to light, Murphy referred to his progressive campaign as "killer" and said the candidate "seems pretty impressive."
When asked whether he would continue backing the Democratic candidate, Murphy first deflected by pointing to Platner’s polling numbers.
"What’s the polling in Maine right now?" Murphy asked, adding: "I think he’s still winning, right?"
DESPITE INFLAMMATORY COMMENTS, PLATNER HOLDS 9-POINT LEAD OVER COLLINS IN NEW POLL
A new public opinion poll shows Platner currently leading over Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who was first elected in 1996 and is the longest-serving Republican female senator.
Platner stands at 51% support among likely Maine voters, with Collins at 42%, according to a Pine Tree State poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire. But she's pulled through when polling odds have fared worse in past elections — and Collins isn't backing down from seeking a fifth re-election bid.
The moderate senator is running unopposed for the Republican nomination.
The same poll shows Platner holds 76% support among Democratic primary voters, with 3% going for former state and federal government official David Costello.
Platner’s main opponent in the Democratic primary was former Maine Gov. Janet Mills, but she suspended her campaign in late April — making the Marine Crop veteran the presumptive Democratic candidate. Mills will still appear on the ballot since she dropped out so soon before election day, but she only holds 10% support, according to the Maine poll.
Murphy’s comments continuing his support for Platner come as Democrats weigh whether the candidate's online history could become a liability in a race that will play a key role in the party's effort to regain control of the Senate. Republicans currently hold a slim 53-47 majority. The election in Maine is expected to be one of the most closely watched races in the country.
The Cook Political Report currently rates the race as "Lean Republican," highlighting both the competitiveness of the race and the high stakes for Democrats as they try to flip one of their top Senate targets in 2026.
Democrats have mostly avoided publicly distancing themselves from Platner amid backlash over the resurfaced Reddit posts under the moniker "P-hustle."
Maine’s primary election takes place on Tuesday, June 9.
Paulina Porizkova says she's being evicted from her apartment just four days before her wedding in Italy
Paulina Porizkova is getting evicted from her home of six years just days before her wedding to Jeff Greenstein.
During a recent episode of their podcast, "Twenty Good Summers," the couple — who got engaged in July 2025 — opened up about their recent housing crisis and explained how they plan to "start over" in their sixties.
"We are both over 60, and we are starting again," Porizkova said. "We're starting over completely, both of us, because we are about to move out of this apartment that I love so much, that has kept me safe, and where I've sort of grown up to be a woman, I feel."
"And we're kind of getting evicted because my landlord did not want to, no matter how great of a tenant I was for six years, he didn't really want to give us an extension on the lease, even though I begged and pleaded," she continued. "And so we have to move out of here four days before we get married in Italy. Not great. Not great. And we also come back from our wedding, and we have nowhere to live."

Despite the unusual circumstances, Porizkova admitted she and her soon-to-be husband are very "privileged" in that they have plenty of options.
"We're very privileged souls," she said. "I do have a country house that I co-own with my sons [Jonathan and Oliver]. And so we can move up there, which is kind of further away from New York City. Or we still have [Jeff's] house in L.A., which we are in the process of selling, but for the time being, we can go there."
"We cannot complain, but it is an unexpected happenstance," Greenstein chimed in. "This is not how we would have drawn it up. Getting kicked out of this apartment four days before the wedding and coming back to nothing in New York is not what we planned."

"We are coming back to, for better or worse, literally for richer or poorer, right? We will be embarking on a new life together. It won't look like the old one," he added.

Earlier this week, the couple took to social media to share the news.
"Friends, we’re getting kicked out of our apartment four days before our wedding — thanks, Unsympathetic Landlord! — which, along with some relevant emails from our faithful fanbase, spurred us to do an episode about moving: when to move in together, how to harmonize lives and tastes, and all the emotions such transitions unleash. Pack a box and join the fun!"
Porizkova was married to Cars singer Ric Ocasek for nearly 30 years before calling it quits in 2018.

Last year, after sharing a video of herself crying on the fifth anniversary of the Cars frontman's death, the supermodel took to social media to explain why she chose to be so vulnerable with her fans.
"Last week I posted a video of myself crying," she wrote at the time. "It was the five-year anniversary of my husband’s death. In some ways, it was a day made even more difficult by the fact in all the previous years I pretended I was fine. That I ‘had pulled it together.’"
"For the benefit of my loved ones, I thought I had to act strong. To keep helming the ship. So no one but me would be afraid of drowning. The result of which, as I mentioned, was that everyone around me thought I was fine, and no one knew how hard my life was or how much I needed a hand."
Fuddruckers became the 'Blockbuster' of burgers, and now it's nearly gone
Despite claiming to serve the "world's greatest hamburgers," Fuddruckers has shrunk from hundreds of locations nationwide to just 44 restaurants today.
"Fuddruckers is the Blockbuster of the burger world," Las Vegas-based business coach Brad Sugars told Fox News Digital.
Restaurateur Phil Romano, founder of Romano's Macaroni Grill, opened the first Fuddruckers in Texas in 1979, and the chain expanded rapidly during the 1980s.
Fuddruckers operated between 200 and 500 locations at its peak in the late '80s, according to Tasting Table.
PIZZA HUT BRINGS BACK VINTAGE VIBES AS FRANCHISEES EMBRACE NOSTALGIC MAKEOVERS
The company began to struggle and changed owners multiple times.
Luby's acquired Fuddruckers in 2010 after its parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Luby's announced it would liquidate Fuddruckers in 2020, and entrepreneur Nicholas Perkins — through his Houston-based company, Black Titan Franchise Systems — bought the chain in 2021 for a reported $18.5 million.
"I think with a new, reinvigorated management team, with a strategic plan ... we are going to be able to put our brand on offense and not be so much on the defense like we have been in recent years," Perkins told the Houston Chronicle at the time.
The COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on Fuddruckers, as it did on many restaurants. The National Restaurant Association reported that six months into the pandemic, 100,000 restaurants had closed — either permanently or long-term.

Sugars, who owns two restaurants, said Fuddruckers failed to adapt to changing customer preferences — both in the food consumers want and how they want to consume it.
"One of the biggest challenges in the restaurant game is moving with the times, and the bigger the business, the harder it is," Sugars said. "It's a rare brand that continues over 10, 20, 30, 40 years without changing."
Sugars pointed to Domino's as an example of a restaurant chain that listened to customers and evolved accordingly.
After admitting its pizza quality had declined, Domino's improved its food while adding wings, pizza bites, hot sandwiches and other menu items, Sugars said.
The company also built customer loyalty by becoming "a technology company that sells pizza," Sugars said — while creating an app that's "way better" than competitors.

"In a world where delivery is now something everyone expects from every restaurant, Domino's went from competing with other pizza companies to competing with every single type of food that can be delivered from Postmates, Grubhub, etc.," he said.
Domino's has also invested in researching customer habits, Sugars said. Much like Amazon, Domino's knows "what you're going to buy and when," allowing it to target consumers more effectively.
"I don't see a Fuddruckers app," Sugars said.
Still, Fuddruckers has some fans left.
A Reddit forum a year ago asked, "What happened to Fuddruckers? I thought the food was really good, but it looks like they are all closing."
Commenters suggested Fuddruckers' large, warehouse-style atmosphere — similar to a "theme restaurant" — fell out of favor with customers.

Someone who claimed to have managed the first franchise wrote that "specialized concepts have a shelf life. As unique as the original Fudds was, it probably ran its course."

New Jersey senator dares DHS to pepper-spray him again as Mullin slams 'political theater'
New Jersey Democratic Sen. Andy Kim fired back after DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin accused him of engaging in "political theater" following a chaotic protest outside Newark’s Delaney Hall detention facility, where Kim was struck by pepper-ball spray while confronting federal officers.
Kim and other New Jersey Democrats, including Gov. Mikie Sherrill, have sharply criticized conditions at Delaney Hall, an immigration detention facility in Newark operated by a private contractor. DHS officials, meanwhile, accuse the lawmakers of escalating tensions and undermining ICE enforcement efforts. The clash intensified after Kim was hit with pepper-ball spray during demonstrations outside the facility earlier this week.
"Secretary Markwayne Mullin in a cabinet meeting today said that I was complaining about being hit by a pepperball spray at Delaney Hall and he said that I shouldn't be there -- I just want to say this was never about me," Kim said in a response on social media later Thursday.
"I was willing to take that risk. I'm not complaining about the pepperball spraying — for me, I'm complaining about what the treatment is to my constituents, to Americans and to civilians that were in harm's way."
Kim said Mullin’s agency is overseeing inhumane treatment of the illegal immigrants inside the facility and is wrongfully awarding a lucrative contract to a Boca Raton-based company to manage it.
"So again, this isn't about me. I was willing to take on that risk. I'd do it all over again," he said.
He said he would do "anything that I can to keep my constituents and to keep people safe."
When asked about Kim's response, Mullin told Fox News Digital on Thursday that he was sorry to see Kim spread fallacies and inflame the situation unnecessarily.
"It’s unfortunate that Senator Andy Kim (who I’ve had a good relationship with) is spreading this FALSE narrative and adding fuel to the fire for no other reason than political theater," Mullin said.
"This isn’t a Holiday Inn. Illegal aliens are at this detention facility because they broke our nation’s laws. ICE has arrested brutal criminals in New Jersey, including murders, rapists, sex offenders, child predators, and drug traffickers. "They are provided medical treatment, a clean place to sleep, and 3 meals a day plus commissary," he added.
"Contrary to what liberal politicians and the leftist media want you to think: DHS does NOT make the laws that govern the United States. Our officers are simply enforcing the laws passed by Congress.
"If these sanctuary politicians in Congress don’t like our nation’s laws, they have the ability to change them."
Mullin said the behavior of Kim and other Democrats put their "radical left… priorities" on full display, adding that rapists, child predators and drug dealers are among those the protesters want released back into society.
New Jersey Assemblyman Paul Kanitra, R-Toms River, told Fox News Digital in a separate exclusive interview Wednesday that the food vendor at Delaney Hall is also contracted at nearby Giants Stadium, quipping that if the food is good enough for Big Blue, it should be good enough for the inmates.
Mullin also appeared to fault Newark city government for its hands-off law enforcement approach.
He said ICE has had to conduct typical law enforcement behavior like removing barricades and preventing protesters from restricting ingress and egress – something that Mayor Ras J. Baraka’s Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security should be in charge of.
Baraka announced in 2015 that the Newark Police and fire department now fall under that new agency, and he appoints the leader.
TOP DEM GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING AT ICE DETENTION CENTER
Kim’s actions have raised ire on both sides of the aisle for opposing reasons, as Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., posted a split image of Kim washing his eyes out with protesters’ water bottles and Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., being detained while attempting to confront then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during a Los Angeles meeting.
"When even U.S. Senators are targeted, every American should understand: no one is safe from ICE’s abuses," Schumer said in a statement. "It’s why I’m fighting tooth-and-nail against additional funds for Trump’s rogue police forces."
Meanwhile, New Jersey Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia likened Kim’s and other Democrats’ actions to the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books popular among young people in the 1990s.
PADILLA CUFFED, MCIVER INDICTED: CAN CONGRESS COME BACK FROM THE BRINK?
"The Pepper Spray of Destiny," Fantasia, R-Sussex, entitled her faux-book in a social media post.
The book’s cover shows Schumer with a speech bubble calling the chaos a "peaceful protest," a dumpster full of trash and barricade material, an ICE agent shooting a pepperball gun and Kim superimposed on the image with an outstretched arm as if to say "no."
"Federal lawmakers in NJ are out here treating riots like Choose Your Own Adventure books," Fantasia said. "Instead of going through proper channels, they keep choosing every option labeled ‘This is a terrible idea’."
"If you'd like to skip Memorial Day ceremonies in favor of an ICE protest, turn to page 3. If you'd like to insert yourself into a volatile situation, turn to page 7. If you'd like to help protesters drag debris from a dumpster to illegally block the entrance, turn to page 11," she said.
"If you’d like Senator Schumer to explain why none of this was your fault, turn to page 18. If you'd like the mainstream media to call you 'courageous' for it, turn to page 20."
Agitators returned again Thursday morning to Delaney Hall, according to witnesses on scene. From about sunrise to mid-afternoon, the protests have been largely peaceable this week thus far.
As sundown approaches each day, older daytime protesters often give way to black-clad protesters wearing goggles and masks at night.
Israel accuses UN of placing it on same sexual violence blacklist as Hamas terrorists, severs ties
Israeli officials blasted the United Nations after accusing the body of adding Israeli entities to a sexual violence blacklist that also includes the terrorist group Hamas.
"We are done with this UN Secretary-General. Guterres has put Israel on the same blacklist along with Hamas, ISIS and the most depraved terrorist organizations in the world. This is a moral disgrace that proves that Guterres has lost all credibility," Israel's ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
A spokesperson for Danon said Israel was officially freezing relations with the secretary-general's office as long as Antonio Guterres holds the position.
Danon claimed Guterres decided to include Israeli entities on a blacklist regarding sexual violence in conflict zones, prompting the ambassador to freeze relations with the U.N. Secretary-General's Office.
UN DRAFT REPORT ON CHILDREN IN CONFLICT ZONES RAISES EYEBROWS WITH FRAMING OF ISRAELIS
"We are a strong democracy. We invited the representatives of the U.N. to come to Israel to check those ridiculous allegations. They chose not to come. They chose to continue with the campaign against Israel. We saw the lies in The New York Times, and now we see another lie coming from the U.N.," Danon said in a video shared with Fox News Digital.
"We are done with this Secretary-General," he concluded.
The United Nations has not confirmed the inclusion of Israel on a sexual blacklist. The U.N. did not respond to an inquiry from Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital also reached out to The New York Times for comment.
The Jerusalem Post first reported Wednesday night that the Israeli Prison Service will be included on the U.N.'s list of countries that commit sexual violence in conflict zones.
In early May, The New York Times published an opinion piece from writer Nicholas Kristof accusing Israeli prison guards of conducting institutionalized sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners. Kristof cited a 2025 U.N. report that called alleged Israeli sexual abuse of Palestinians "standard operating procedures towards Palestinians."
Israeli officials strongly rejected the piece's premises and accused Kristof and the Times of blood libel, threatening to sue the outlet in American courts.
THE UN’S BETRAYAL AND ISRAEL’S FIGHT FOR TRUTH
"In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. Israel -— whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse -— is portrayed as the guilty party," the Israel Foreign Ministry wrote in a post on X in response to the Times piece.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry further commented Thursday on the reported U.N. blacklisting.
"Over the past year, Israel's Ambassador to the UN and the Israeli delegation held a series of meetings with U.N. representatives and provided documents, data, as well as a detailed response to all the allegations that were raised. Despite this, the U.N. Secretary-General chose to advance a political decision and include Israel alongside Hamas and terrorist organizations," the foreign ministry wrote in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
"The shameful and absurd U.N. decision to include Israeli entities in the annex to the CRSV report is further proof of the UN’s true nature: a politicized and corrupt organization that has abandoned its founding principles and systematically targets Israel as its primary mission. This decision is yet another example of the UN’s long-standing, institutionalized hostility toward Israel. Today’s decision must be understood in its true context: an attempt to create a fake symmetry between Israel and the real sexual atrocities committed by Hamas. This is its sole motivation. The person behind this farce is Antonio Guterres," the statement continued.
"This is the same Guterres who sought to 'contextualize' the October 7 massacre, who covered up the involvement of UN employees in those atrocities, and who has dragged the UN to its lowest point. Guterres is now exploiting his final months as Secretary-General to fabricate baseless accusations against Israel, completely devoid of any factual merit. Israel has comprehensively, thoroughly, and unequivocally refuted these allegations. Given that António Guterres has chosen to violate every standard of honesty, integrity, and professionalism, Israel has decided to sever all ties with the Secretary-General’s Office and will wait until a new UN Secretary-General is appointed," the statement concluded.
Boston mayor's office facing backlash for promoting ‘Trans Period Pride’ event for ‘trans menstruators'
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement is facing backlash online after promoting a "Trans Period Pride" event at a public library centered on "menstrual equity" and transgender experiences with menstruation.
A Tuesday post featuring a graphic with a pink tampon and blue menstrual pad read, "Join MASS NOW and the MA Trans Political Coalition for a consciousness-raising discussion on menstrual equity and the experiences of trans menstruators."
'MENSTRUAL MUTUAL AID' WORKSHOP FOR 'NON-CIS MENSTRUATORS' HOSTED BY UC DAVIS LGBTQIA
The free event will be held in June at the Boston Public Library’s Copley Branch. The event, which includes a catered dinner and "free period underwear provided to all attendees," is supported by the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Advancement, the Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth (BAGLY), MASS NOW and the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition.
On its website, the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Advancement says it "develops policies, community-oriented programming, and provides resources for the City’s diverse LGBTQIA2S+ community."
In the Instagram post, the event is described as a "consciousness raising conversation around transgender experiences with menstruation."
DEM CITY USES 'BAIT-AND-SWITCH' TACTIC TO APPROVE HOMELESS SHELTER, LOCALS ERUPT
Wu has denied reports in the past that city funds were used to support a program offering LGBTQ migrants up to $500 in "wellness" perks, after a local advocacy group advertised the benefits and later scaled back its description amid backlash.
OUTnewcomers, an LGBTQ group in Boston, subsequently announced it returned city grant funding to Wu’s office after its plans clashed with the local government's expectations for the funding.
Many users commented on the Tuesday Instagram post sharing surprise and disbelief, with one user writing, "This cannot be real……." while another said, "Is this a joke?" and a third wrote, "Yall have lost your minds."
Fox News Digital reached out to Wu and the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Advancement for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
What to know about thyroid cancer prognosis following Pam Bondi's diagnosis
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after leaving the Department of Justice last month, according to a report.
Bondi, 60, who left her role at the Justice Department in early April, underwent treatment and is recovering, a source stated.
The thyroid is a gland located in the neck. It makes hormones that are then secreted into the blood, which help the body "use energy, stay warm and keep the brain, heart, muscles and other organs working as they should," according to the American Thyroid Association.
PAM BONDI DIAGNOSED WITH THYROID CANCER WEEKS AFTER DEPARTING AS TRUMP'S ATTORNEY GENERAL: REPORT
Thyroid cancer is relatively uncommon compared to other cancers. Even so, as of 2023, more than one million people in the U.S. are living with the disease.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) predicts that there will be an estimated 45,260 new cases in 2026.
While more common in women, thyroid cancer can affect both sexes. Those with a family history may be more likely to develop it, as well as those between the ages of 25 and 65. Exposure to radiation is also a risk factor, according to the National Cancer Institute.
NOT ALL CANCERS SHOULD BE TREATED RIGHT AWAY, MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY — HERE'S WHY
Signs of thyroid cancer may include lumps or swelling in the neck, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, hoarseness and pain when swallowing, per the above source. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention.

If thyroid cancer is suspected, a doctor can diagnose it in several ways. A laryngoscopy is a procedure where the doctor checks the voice box with a mirror or laryngoscope — a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and lens, per NCI.
Blood hormone studies – where a blood sample is checked to measure hormone levels – can also reveal indicators of thyroid cancer. Ultrasounds and CAT scans are then used to check for tumors in the body.
Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy are the main ways doctors treat thyroid cancer. A new type of therapy, immunotherapy, is being tested in clinical trials.
"Surgery is the primary therapy, followed by regular surveillance and thyroid hormone replacement," Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, told Fox News Digital.
If the thyroid must be completely removed, patients will take hormones to replace the gland's natural function.

"Radioactive iodine is added in extensive or more aggressive cases," Siegel said, but noted that it is "usually not needed."
The prognosis for thyroid cancer is generally positive and depends heavily on how the cancer responds to treatment, according to NCI.

Some types are much milder and slower-growing than others. Doctors will also consider the stage of the cancer's progression.
The best-case scenario is when a surgeon can completely remove the tumor during surgery. Doctors will also factor in whether this is a brand-new diagnosis or if the cancer has returned after previous treatment.
